@@ThatInnerVoiceOfReason Most of the issues surrounding women's rights can be taken into consideration by having a nuanced perspective of the situation. What you're asking for is the erasure of an entire community that has no impact on you whatsoever. If you're neighbour Bob, decides to transition and become Shelia, it's up to them. By throwing your unnecessary opinion at something that doesn't affect you, it highlights your insecurity and immaturity. I have no problem with how we use male or female pronouns. I do have a problem with women's rights being affected and that's what we should be fighting for. Ironically, what you're doing is actually pushing this ''all inclusive'' agenda further by sounding offensive and controversial. And you don't need to be. Your ignorant opinion has no impact on trans people existing. Branding it as a delusion, even if true, does not resolve anything and only causes conflict. Unfortunately for you, your stance is flawed from the get go because you're ignoring the existence of trans identity which has been around long before you were even born.

I'm almost 44 years on hormones & closing on 4 decades post-op. Having to debate what a woman is is utter madness. As for these M2F trans in sports it should not be allowed. It's nothing more than legalized cheating in my eyes to allowing a male to female trans person to compete in women's sport's and no It is not being transphobic to speak out about this, It's just stating the obvious. When I was younger and used to go work out at the Gym with my late husband. I got on well with the gym owner's wife. One day she took me to one side and asked me if I was going to enter the Miss physique contest that was coming up. I said no what ever made you think that. I workout for my own benefit not to compete against others. I would not do that, it would be so unfair. That's not something I could ever do to a woman. The relief on her face was overwhelming; she was almost in tears. She said it had been worrying her for some time as we would have been in the same Height and weight class and that she had won many years running. She was 6ft tall & I was 5ft 9" just over. Today's trans people seem to be so far removed and blinkered to what being female is that they can not even empathise with a woman or see their own advantages they have over them in these areas when it comes to competing in sports. I find it hurtful and embarrassing. what it is to be transsexual as been hijacked over the decades and made a mockery of by these types that you point out. Its gone from transsexuals fixing a personal mind and body mismatch issue with one's self and then getting on with our lives unnoticed as best we can. To folk now who do not want to make any effort to be what they claim to be who actually thrive on the attention and privileges it grants them under the term transgender with all these new woke laws etc. Many are out to make others around them change their perceptions of what a woman is or fall foul of the woke policing. It is lunacy at its best. I get labelled at TERF quite often because I will not side with these folks and their crazy demands and expectations. Transsexuals should not even be lumped under the term transgender as far as i am concerned. It's not even in the same postcode. I find all this very demeaning of all I went through and suffered growing up in the 1970's and early 1980s to be happy within my own skin. My intentions and actions back then were to change myself so I could be happy within my own skin, not to force the world around me to change or pay the price. There are different definitions of the word TRANSGENDER , The most prevalent is those who are political in nature and refers to anyone who considers themselves as different in terms of sex or gender. Most transsexual persons refuse to be lumped in with the TG Community, but others like non-op TG persons see political value in working together. A transgender person is someone who deliberately lives in a way opposed to their physical sex. For example, if a person is born with female genitalia and wants to keep it, but expresses and feels that they are a boy mentally, then they are transgender. Transsexual and transgender is not the same thing as transsexual is only applicable to those born with a need to correct their genitals as best they can, while most transgender people desire to keep their original genitalia. A person is born with transsexualism,the whole idea of the surgery is to stop having transsexualism and to get on with life as if they never had the condition. For me and many of my old friends it was important to fix our mind and body mismatch ASAP and then get on with our lives. Often going stealth and only letting those who need to know about our past know. The term transgender covers a wide spectrum of different folks. Most of whom are more vocal/visible. Hence more well known by the public online and offline as they tend to go out of their way to make their presence known and felt. Where as many of use old school transsexual's the aim was to fix the issue and move on with our lives unnoticed. Many of us had to make big sacrifices like losing family members and old friends and moving to avoid publicity at times. As that for us would defeat the whole object of fixing the issues we had with ourselves in the 1st place. For us it is not a badge we wear. Just a distant unhappy memory we rather leave behind us and not dwell on. This leads to our side of the story being less heard by the public, leaving them to assuming the outspoken ones most often seen kicking off on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram & KZbin etc are what its all about for all under the umbrella term transgender. Which is not the case at all. There are many of us out there in the world that can hold conversations with folk who disagree with us without resorting to branding them transphobic or getting catty and bitchy. It's a shame so many of these outspoken trans folks will brand someone transphobic at the drop of a hat yet forget it took themselves years to understand and accept their own situation. Bit hypocritical if you ask me. But hey that's what happens when what it is to be transsexual gets hijacked and turn in to a trans radical agenda/movement. It's now become a money spinner for many. It's like reality TV with a large helping of soap opera thrown in for good measure. Fed to an ever growing gullible audience grasping at straws. They have only gotten away with it for so long because transsexuals tend to avoid outing themselves as it defeats the object of fixing the mind and body mismatch in the 1st place if you're going to and broadcast that you did it. I'm older now my husband as passed away I have nothing to loose and some one needs to speak up for the genuine transsexuals and point out the difference that the transgender agenda as tried to blur. I did my SRS in the beginning of the1980s then I just got on with my life with my late husband after my surgery. So was quite shocked when after my husband sudden death 31 years later and I went searching for a Post-op Transsexual widows support group and only found the embarrassing radical transgender agenda movement crap online that only serves to make a mockery of what it is to be Transsexual and trample all over women right as if they don't even matter. Many of today's trans folk are a breed unto themselves who lack empathy for women and women's rights. I find all this shameful, embarrassing and hurtful.

Good on you Miranda Yardley 👏. Thank you for taking sense. Let people Like yourself live land love life the way you like as a normal person, trans women are just that! they aren't women! So let's not change basic scientific facts and pretend these brave people should compete and be made the same as biological women. Its cruel in so many ways. Let trans people' just be excerpted for who they are and shame on these people like leah Thomas for wanting to compete against women., she is making a joke of the trans people.

You cannot argue with an insane person. She started off with affirming the insanity by calling him a her. We need to stop this "calling them what they want to be called" crap. They talked the world into this by saying that it doesn't hurt anyone by doing so. See where that has got us.

[@livpinker9961]

Most transexual adults do have common sense. I'm friends with a few , one of whom has children and transitioned later in life - this trangender nonsense from a few extremists reflects terribly on decent, intelligent, normal transexual people which are very different to "trangender activists" - who in some cases are claiming gender does not exist and in other cases are claiming their are hundreds of positions. Transexual women have bigger issues than these attention seekers. I have so much respect for Miranda but I also feel so sorry that people like her will feel the backlash of this. If a person presents as female I will call them "she", if they present as male I will call them ""he regardless of the sex they were born as but it all gets very complicated when we say trans- women are women in terms of things like NHS funding for "womens issues", which btw are lacking. I'm a hormonally inbalanced woman, this has caused impacts on my fertility but I do not get free NHS treatment. Recently I have seen teenagers demanding they should get to have lazer treatment pre- transition-surgery months into claiming a gender identity. Born women do not get offered this for free!. Womens charities also exist as a refuge for women, including those who have been raped. This is not to say transexual women are in any way dangerous. I feel absolutely safe changing and sharing intimate female friendship moments with trans women. However those who simply gender-identify as female and still posess a penis really should not have the expectation to be granted access to all zones of female refuge. I'm sure this should be assessed on a case to case basis. I'm just not comfortable saying we should put those with penis's (the weapon of trauma) in close proximity to those who have experienced trauma due to that weapon,. The needs of biological women remain different to trans women i.e. needs for support during pregnancy, for smear scans, risks of ovarian cancers ... equally the needs of trans women will be different to us. It is ridiculous we are in this place - I have been pro LGBT my whole life and now I don;t even know where I am politically . I fought for other people to have freedom, I don't think people should be maliciously dead-named but at the same time I didn't consent to being described as a "chest feeder" or these other offensive terms being used to describe CIS women. I am a woman - I was made from XX chromosones, I was born with ovaries, and began having periods when I hit puberty, I have the capacity to give birth . Like all other females I can give live birth to my infants and provide them with milk . Why can't people say what being female is. I accept and recognize Miranda as part of the culture of womanhood but I was not throwing away the notion of female sex.

You identify with your profession, stage of life, achievements, good deeds, etc, but gender is only relevant for partner searching or either you are going to visit gynecologist or some cosmetic products… so, why is with transgender people their gender all they talk about?
