There are women currently in Scottish prisons sharing shower blocks with biological males. That you don’t think this matters shows, very clearly, your priorities. Which is why the trans rights campaign can be described as a Men’s Rights Campaign. Name-calling is no argument - shows you lack one.

Prison rape is horrific and we should all be working towards a world in which it's never allowed to happen to anyone, of any gender. Using it as an excuse to segregate trans people for the protection of cis people makes exactly as much sense as segregating gays so they don't rape straights.

And, you know, it's your right to believe that we should segregate people based on gender, sexuality, race etc. I'm not telling you to shut up! I'm just pointing out that it's a very right-wing view of the world.

As a leftist, I believe we should be massively reducing the number of people in prison, which would also reduce prison rape. As a right-winger, you believe we should be segregating people to make sure prison rape doesn't happen to the wrong people. We can agree to disagree.

As I said earlier, I’m not right wing. And I find this assumed split curious. TRA arguments prioritise trans women (ie males) over women - this is patriarchy, revisited. Which is normally the position of the right. And one might assume (maybe) that the left would be pro women’s rights. But, no 🤯

And, it is surely just as legitimate for women to care about women’s rights as it is for trans people to care about about trans rights. Fine, let’s have a debate, But the LEFT’s position was ‘no debate’. Shut up, women. Remind me how that was progressive, again?

If they aren't convicted of sexual crimes, then yeah, that makes sense. What unique danger does a trans woman represent in that situation, that couldn't be applied to a cis lesbian?

I'd also like to point out that trans men also exist. It can hardly be described as a men's rights campaign when it affects both genders.
