No. They have the same rights as everyone else in the UK ( I can't speak for other countries). The UK has robust equal rights laws for them. What right do you think I am denying them?

Sure sounds like you don't want a transgender woman to use the woman's locker room.
Correct. As they are for women and not men. Men do not have the right to use women's protected spaces. That applies to all men - so no discrimination here.
Trans women are women. So yeah, discrimination there, TERF.
How are these men being discriminated against when they claim to be women?
Are transgender women not women?
Not in the biological sense, not in the legal sense, or in the rational sense - no. Only in the mind of a stark raving mad ideology.
Yeah, okay TERF. Before I mute you, may I ask you a question?
You have been already!
Well, hey now, that wasn’t the question. Do you think they *should* have those rights? Are those laws that you would have voted for?
I support the Equality Act 2010 which is the foundation of trans rights in the UK. As any law, it might be improved, but it gets a fair sense of balance. What rights do you think I am opposed to?
Is that the same law that explicitly recognizes that a person can change their sex?
No law in the UK does that. You can get a bit of paper to say that the law will deem you to be the sex you are not - but that is a different law, and rather redundant now as it does not really apply in any meaningful legal situations.
What is funny is that it does not recognise a person can change sex - just that some people propose to undergo a process to "reassign their sex". The law is silent on the matter if this can be successful. Just the attempt is required. A classic British compromise.
But as we have seen over the past fee months is that this law is rather redundant now as the law will still treat you as your real sex and not the sex you are futilely trying to become.
The UK's descent into bigotry is pretty sad.
Oh my god, you definitely don't understand how to read legislation. That's *hilarious*.
If I am wrong highlight anywhere that says a sex can change.
Paragraph 1 in the screenshot, hon. I take it this is like the claim that the majority of gynecomastia cases are voluntary.
Why stop at legislation?
You know what? That's fair.
I mean they can obviously, more or less read posts.
This feels a lot like you not realizing you weren't actually quoting the DSM at me.
I was just making sure you weren’t trying to dodge the question.
And so what rights do you think I am opposed to?
I am pursuing information necessary to make that determination! bsky.app/profile/enga...
