Why split things like bathrooms or hospital wards by sex or gender anyway? Any solution that validates trans people while still separating genders is only going to be a bandage solution at best, as it doesn't solve the underlying issue of sexism "I can't be in the same room as someone of another sex/gender, that would be terrible!" Like what? Are we trying to accommodate religious idiots instead of trans people or something?
No, it's to stop putting men in the same wards as women in case the men rape the women or harass them. It's about protecting women.
No, it's to make women who assume they will be raped feel safe. Men don't just rape women because they're in the same room. They don't change gender to improve their rape opportunities either.
Oh no no, if I'm even in the same room as a woman alone as a cis male I'm obligated to rape a woman
/s
This shit is so blatantly and openly misandrist, I can't even imagine growing up as a boy hearing this rhetoric thrown around how you're just a monster and you can't prove otherwise, spread by what you would assume at first are kind old ladies on the street.
so, the only way to address the problem of sexual violence in hospitals is just to divide the population in two? this is just like the bathroom bullshit. if you're assuming that trans women are rapists, you are a transphobe. if you're assuming that sex-segregated wards are a useful deterrent to rape, you're an idiot. the thing stopping people from hurting patients in the hospital is the hospital. the staff, the doors, the nurses, the help buttons beside each bed, the check-ins by doctors and nurses.
Trans women aren’t men so that’s irrelevant here.
There is a reason why hospitals have "sex" instead of "gender" on their paperwork because gender is fucking useless now
I always say female anyway and so do all trans women I know. I specify "biological" if asked because I'm not a cyborg either. This isn't some gotcha you think it is and idc what other dogwhistles you invent. Cope and seethe.
Didn’t ask, don’t care 🤓
Biologically trans women ARE men. You obviously cared somewhere along the line till it comes to something that actually matters
Biologically trans women are trans women, they have very little in common with cis men other than chromosomes, they're not the same as cis women entirely but have far more in common with them.
The average trans woman has had her T levels nuked for decades, usually below cis women levels and E levels same as a cis woman, their bodies are completely different including their genitalia most of the time.
As far as the actual medical truth of the matter we are not cis men, I don't have to worry about testicular, prostate or penile cancers but I do have to worry quite a bit more than a cis man about breast cancer for example.
What are you even trying to get across here?? lmao
Pointing out your hypocrisy when it comes to the safety of people, women in this case.
I’m one of the people that would be forced into a room with women and I have no tits and grow facial hair my dude. It doesn’t make me or them safer. Your position is simply stupid and coming from a place of bigotry.
Must be Hungarian then /s
If there weren't over 100 genders it wouldn't have come down to sexes.
Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Y'all brought this on yourselves by defining every last feeling as a gender therefore making it impossible to define each "gender"
My stance is not due to bigotry, I couldn't give any less of a fuck what you do to yourself or with whom.
At the end of the day we're all humans. Everyone should be able to feel safe.
Very cool. Cis people really are the best.
Well they aren't the same as normal women either, so what are they?
Trans women. It's in the name innit.
