Comment on Lesbian group seeks legal exemption to exclude trans women from events

Sorry but words are not violence, and words do not cause physical harm. You can be offended by words, but that doesn’t mean the words are offensive.
There are so many cases of trans women litigating and carrying on relentlessly about not being welcomed in to women-only places, that you suggesting it doesn’t happen is crazy. I’m sure you know about the tickle vs giggle case that’s been going through the courts for almost 4 years now, don’t you?

The reality of the situation is this doesn’t affect anybody who you count as friend or family so you just don’t care. You project what you think is the norm but you don’t know because it’s not your monkey not your circus isn’t it? You don’t care where this leads because nobody you care about will die from it and when the trans people disappear from the world around you you’ll be unaware or worse celebrate.
I think I know when someone is a lost cause until something changes. Perhaps one day it will be someone you care about and then you’ll have the insights you need. Until then.

No, the reality is that it DOES affect plenty of people I count as friends and family. It affects my wife, my daughters, my mother, my cousins, nieces, friends, and so on. They are who I’d affected and put at risk by allowing trans women into women’s sex segregated spaces.
If all it takes to get access to women’s changing rooms is to say you’re a woman, that’s what perverts and creeps will do - and this is what we’ve seen ever since this issue arose.
You’re saying that the entire population of females’ safety matters less than the feelings of the fraction of a percent of males who identify as women. Trans women aren’t in danger in men’s spaces. Men rape other men at an infinitely smaller rate than they do women. Women, however, are in danger if mean are allowed in women’s spaces simply by saying they are women.
The number of people murdered every year because they’re trans is close to zero in the western world.

You missed a very important part of what I said - murdered because they were trans. You can’t just count every trans person that was murdered as being murdered because they were trans.
You’re also citing sources saying something like 50 trans people a year. That’s minuscule.
