Yes, she is right. Women spent centuries fighting for equal rights and we achieved it. Now men are deciding to become women to usurp us. I object to men appropriating my gender.
What about women wishing to become men?
The it is up to men whether or not they object to women appropriating their gender. I'm not a man and have no idea how they think.
Wow, you have an extremely strong belief in sex differences. Do you really think men and women are so different we can’t even begin to understand one another’s thinking? A bit strange different languages for men and women never developed, if that were the case.
Women menstruate and bear children. Women have different hormones to men. We are the same species but we are biologically very different.
I don’t menstruate, have never been pregnant, and have a male hormone balance. So we’re clear- I am a man, yes?
Excellent. So, it seems you disagree with Rowling, bc I transitioned to male 4 years ago. I’d love to come into your ladies restroom and discuss it further, though. I can shave my beard in the sink.
