"Forcing themselves how?" Well exactly! Non consensual sex is non consensual sex irrispictive of gender or sexual identity. It seemed they where also concerned about women only spaces | |||

"Just watched coverage of a protest at Londons Pride. A group of Lesbians 'leading' the parade. There protest being that the L or the T (seemed a little confused) should be taken out of LGBTQ. Seems they have a problem with men identifying as transsexual and then as Lesbians and forcing themselves? on female lesbians? As a cisgender male I don't feel qualified to comment but seems very sad that the day was spoilt by such action. What do others think? " Is it that they’re ‘forcing themselves’ or is it that this minority is protesting in a very transphobic way that they resent ‘their’ lesbians being taken by what is in their view non lesbians? It seems a little similar to gay men complaining about bisexual men ‘stealing’ their guys... I’m possibly projecting a totally separate argument here, either way it seems very sad that they’re using pride to peddle hate and intolerance. | |||

I do find that people who are attracted to those who are trans usually call themselves pansexual as it's more inclusive but yeah, basically seems like they're jealous that trans women are getting more vagina than they are. | |||

"I think you find that the trans debate has only just started to hit mainstream audiences. To be honest, I can see both sides of the argument, however the discussions need to be heard without shutting down debate by shouting transphobia or by disregarding the trans communities voice." I think there are a lot of grey areas, particularly around disclosure, and whether somebody who has transitioned should tell a potential partner about their history. It does appear that some feminists have an issue with the trans community. | |||

It does appear that some feminists have an issue with the trans community." I think some feminists are out and out transphobies. But then I think some feminists who complain about the patriarchy, fail to see that they are as oppressive of other women. However, I’m not sure a self identified trans woman who has had no surgery should be allowed in places where there are vulnerable women. I don’t want a predatory male who puts a dress on, going in a changing room with my daughter. | |||

"They want the L taken out and to become their own subset. They disagree with Trans women who identify as lesbians and think that lesbians having sex with Trans women is r*pe. Their understanding of the word is limited by the seems of things. They also claim they get accused of being transphobic for not wanting to sleep with trans women. As someone else has said, being a minority does not mean you're automatically accepting of others. " Is that because those lesbians are anti men? | |||

"There's a thing called the cotton ceiling. People with penises who identify as women argue that lesbians should have sex with them because, despite their penises, they are women. They say that lesbians who refuse to have sex with them are transphobic and impose said cotton ceiling. That is they will treat them as women in all other respects but won't let them into their knickers. Given that for most of us what genitals someone has is highly relevant to whether we have sex with them and given that lesbians don't tend to like penises, it seems to me entirely reasonable to protest at the idea that lesbians should not face pressure to have sex with people whose femininity is entirely separate from their genitals. " So, they're only talking about tvs, not transsexuals who have had genital reassignment surgery? | |||

" They were protesting that some trans women are suggesting they have a female dick and lesbians should be happy to date and fuck them as they identify as women, which is a touchy subject for lesbians who want pussy. There is much more to it than that, it is about choosing your gender and women only spaces and women with a pussy feeling threatened by women with a cock... And the new legislation being discussed in Parliament currently. | |||

"Can I now become a man, without having surgery, and join a gentleman's club? " You don't have to have surgery now to change gender. Just the diagnosis of gender dysphoria and two years of living as the other gender. Most transgender people haven't had surgery. | |||

It's a lonely place being an old fashioned philosophical materialist... "Lol, right wing doesn't really mean anything. I consider myself libertarian actually. It really doesn't bother me if people want to prance around saying "I'm a lady" like a little Britain sketch. I just don't want to forced to buy into such post modernist crap. I adore some females who have undergone gender reassignment surgery, in fact I thought hard about marrying one once. I know a few people like that and none of them are militant aggressive types trying to force anything on people. I believe the LGBT movement has been hijacked for nefarious purposes. | |||

"A lot of feminism has come from the point where women have been shit down, silenced, patronised, mocked and belittled to the point where being a woman is seen as being "less than" It's a power thing. It's still ongoing. And some women feel that transgender women, who haven't lived as a woman and undergone that same struggle, that are not embracing feminist ideals, are shouting them down and that their voices still aren't being heard. And some transgender women feel that they are women through and through and have different bits. It's not rocket science. It's not "loony lefties"
It's just people who have been made to feel.vulberable and "less than" fighting to be heard."You might not consider them looney, but they are lefties. A conservative feminist is a contradiction in terms. | |||

Hatred ensues What exactly are they debating in parliment? The government is proposing to introduce a law whereby anyone can change their gender for legal purposes by making a statutory declaration. At the moment you can only do that if you have a gender reassignment certificate. Which involves a medical diagnosis of gender dysphoria and living two years as your new gender. Many women are up in arms about this as it would appear to suggest that any bloke can legally become a woman by just signing a piece of paper and thus gain access to female only spaces. The government has now backtracked to a degree by saying that biological sex will still be a protected characteristic and thus trans women could still legally be denied access to women's changing rooms, women's refuges, women's prisons etc. Canada got themselves in a twist with Bill C16 which is far worse. However they have a looney left government and we don't. Every day i'm thankful that I don't have to interact with crazy people like that. My problem is that the only people who seem to agree with me on this issue are the radical feminists and rabid right wingers like you
It's a lonely place being an old fashioned philosophical materialist...
Lol, right wing doesn't really mean anything. I consider myself libertarian actually. It really doesn't bother me if people want to prance around saying "I'm a lady" like a little Britain sketch. I just don't want to forced to buy into such post modernist crap. I adore some females who have undergone gender reassignment surgery, in fact I thought hard about marrying one once. I know a few people like that and none of them are militant aggressive types trying to force anything on people. I believe the LGBT movement has been hijacked for nefarious purposes. "You do have a bit of a tendency to see conspiracies, which is pretty typical of rabid right wingers.
On the other hand, us philosophical materialists see if that if an ideology has gained some reaction, there must be some material basis to it. | |||

"A lot of feminism has come from the point where women have been shit down, silenced, patronised, mocked and belittled to the point where being a woman is seen as being "less than" It's a power thing. It's still ongoing. And some women feel that transgender women, who haven't lived as a woman and undergone that same struggle, that are not embracing feminist ideals, are shouting them down and that their voices still aren't being heard. And some transgender women feel that they are women through and through and have different bits. It's not rocket science. It's not "loony lefties"
It's just people who have been made to feel.vulberable and "less than" fighting to be heard.
You might not consider them looney, but they are lefties. A conservative feminist is a contradiction in terms. "Yeah. Pick that bit. Ignore the rest. I was rejecting the dismissivness of that phrase. Exactly the kind of dismissive voice without understanding that gives rise to protests over shoving people into ill thought out boxes | |||

"There's a thing called the cotton ceiling. People with penises who identify as women argue that lesbians should have sex with them because, despite their penises, they are women. They say that lesbians who refuse to have sex with them are transphobic and impose said cotton ceiling. That is they will treat them as women in all other respects but won't let them into their knickers. Given that for most of us what genitals someone has is highly relevant to whether we have sex with them and given that lesbians don't tend to like penises, it seems to me entirely reasonable to protest at the idea that lesbians should not face pressure to have sex with people whose femininity is entirely separate from their genitals. I think that when people are demanding that other people fuck them, they should evaluates their life choices before complaining to anyone. I don't think it really requires a protest against that though, just a polite fuck off to people who pester for sex. If you Google cotton ceiling you will see there's quite a bit of social pressure from trans women with penises saying that if lesbians with vaginas won't have sex with them it's transphibic. It seems to be entirely reasonable to publicly put the opposite argument. To be honest, some points of view are so stupid that they don't really warrant a response. Flat earthers don't make me angry, I just find them amusing. David Icke doesn't offend me, I just want to try whatever he drinks. " But...but...he drinks piss!. | |||

"Wow, I stirred up a right hornets nest, sorry about that! But its been educational to understand the complex facets of the debate. So on the whole I understand the tension but no one's really forcing anyone to have sex with anyone else, that would be r*pe clearly. Though accusing lesbians as being transphobic just because they have a preference is wrong as is attacking trans women as not being real women because they were born with dicks. I hope bridges of acceptance can be built. Changing rooms and toilets are frequently becoming unisex nowadays, never did like peeing in a line at urinals anyway. Declaring yourself as a woman on alternate Wednesdays to get on all women short lists is silly, tbh I question such short lists anyway. However the safe spaces especially womens refuges, women's prisons etc. I can see the problem. A man declaring himself a woman the day before he's sent down. Yeah I can see that's a difficult one, what do we do, consider the declared gender the person had been living in for a significant period? , separate based on genitalia; now or born with? Or create a multitude of prison wings for trans men and trans women etc? " Can you please post the link of that guy declaring himself to be a woman on the day he was sent down, - should be interesting reading | |||

A lesbian who choses not to have sex with somebody because they are trans is not transphobic, just as choosing to seek partners from the same ethnic group doesnt make somebody racist.

"Can I now become a man, without having surgery, and join a gentleman's club? Or go into men's toilets and watch them at the urinals (they do that don't they?)." You don't need to? There is no law against using toilets assigned to the opposite gender. The police advice to the trans community is to use the public toilets appropriate to the way they are presenting themselves at the time. As for legal recognition, it is difficult to know where to draw the line. Forcing people to have complicated surgery in order to live their life as a female is not a good idea, but conversely, people should not be able to change back and forth on a whim. | |||

Would you accept that genitals aren't the only component in what makes someone a man or a woman? I do accept that what I'm saying is rare and genitals would match for the vast majority of people. Science can be sexist" Scientists can be sexist. The scientific method cannot be sexist. | |||

"I think some people are fucking stupid." Agreed. What the fook does it matter what people identify as. TBH i think the labels cause division. We should all just see each other as sexual beings and whatever you do under that umbrella is your own business. You have to wonder what their agenda is though? | |||

For example, because i am not a 63 year old woman, I am divided from the population that is eligible for a state pension because i am a 32 year old man. However, if you think labels don't matter and you're willing to recognise whatever I want to identify as, then why should I not identify as a 63 year old woman and collect state pension? | |||

"I didn't like the group using a celebratory match to demonstrate against some of the people that the march is there to support. It should surely have been against the parade rules - if not, the management were somewhat incompetent. There should be common principles that are agreed to by all participant groups. " That's not very fair considering men or x-men make up the lions share of the lgbtetc "community". | |||

"There are idiots on both sides here. The deluded transvestite who labels themselves lesbian because they like to insert their pemid into a vagina while wearing women’s underwear. And the militant feminist who takes the most deluded TV and broadbrushes the entire TV community. Both communities have their gems and both have their oddballs, and we ought not to tarnish all with the same brush." | |||

"Just watched coverage of a protest at Londons Pride. A group of Lesbians 'leading' the parade. There protest being that the L or the T (seemed a little confused) should be taken out of LGBTQ. Seems they have a problem with men identifying as transsexual and then as Lesbians and forcing themselves? on female lesbians? As a cisgender male I don't feel qualified to comment but seems very sad that the day was spoilt by such action. What do others think? " Why should you not be qualified to comment because you are cismale? | |||

"Lesbians do ruin everything tbh It's the hair style that does it." It's the lack of a penis, for me. | |||

"What is Q in LGBTQ or should I already know this? " Q is for Queer or sometimes for Questioning. Also there should be an A for Asexual. I guess there's not too many of those on fab, but yes they are real and i know several as personal friends. | |||

The latter makes more sense to me so I'll take it as that. More vowels would be good then it can be added to the change one letter game and come up with a proper word! | |||

"It's probably more about people born as men, shouting loudly about their rights as trans people. The trans debate is dominated by men who are/have transitioned shouting loudly about their rights to essentially dominate female spaces. It's just another set of guys asserting themselves over women." The female species? There are plenty of female to male trans just they have the massive advantage of passing. After a course of androgens pretty much any woman will pass as a man. For male to female trans its a much harder step | |||
