    We are defined by our biological body. This statement does not define anyone. Like? if someone says that they don't believe in God, they do not defime Christians.

    JK Rowling never said that all Trans-women are rapists or anything like that. What she says is that for hundreds (thousands?) of years spaces have been segregated in part out of an idea of "safeguarding". History shows that there is a threat against biological women from biological men, and that in the interest of safety for biological women certain spaces are segregated. JK Rowling points out that trans-women are still biological men with all the same threat potential.

    In totalitarian Islamic culture, people are accused and severely punished including death for the crime of "spreading corruption in the land". This includes Muslims who commit apostasy, especially in in a public manner.
    These laws are the Woke version of Sharia, the very idea that a person can MAKE another person FEEL some way, such as "HURT", meaning "offended".

    We've all known people before what culture who loved to make themselves the center of attention by claiming that something offends them.

    Well , people who are more self-centered are more likely to feel hurt and wounded over the smallest slights, to include imaginary slights.
    People who are narcissistic sociopaths, who enjoy being tattletales, who enjoy harming people with impunity, and those definitely exist, will feel empowered to use the power of the State against friends and foes and anyone they happen to dislike or anyone they feel like exercising power over.

    People should just print thousands of shirts and car bumpers stating "only females are women, only males are men." And lets see how much energy the police really has to deal with all of them.

    A woman can have a child. A man cannot. A woman has hormonal swings that, in some cases, do affect emotions. Doesn't happen to a man. Nor do they have to go through menopause. The strongest woman will be stronger than the vast majority of men, but the strongest man will always be stronger than the strongest woman. Men have more fast twitch muscles but women have more endurance. You can almost always determine a female skeleton from a male skeleton.

    Our biology rarely, in the modern age, determines what we can or cannot do. That doesn't mean there are no differences. You cannot, in all honesty, say there are not.

    "All my life I fought against is biological determinism"… ya well, guess what – when it comes to sex, biology is deterministic. That is not something you can argue about really…

    No, enough is enough, we don't need laws for this, Like most people,I have friends from multiple gender/sexual proclivities. No body cares, as long as no physical harm is done, live and let live.

    She fault against this since puberty? She drank her own Koolaid. She is the problem. It used to be that pressuring a woman to subject herself to be battered by a mentally ill man was called abuse, now it’s called feminism. Feminism used to be about liberating women from oppression, now it’s about elevating misogynistic males who want to be women over real women. PLUS not being able to complain about it.

    If you want to lie to yourself that’s fine. But people do not like to be forced to lie. How can it be respectful to be forced to say something that you consider to be false?

    When a microfraction of society gets placed above the 97% of the rest of society and gets to police and control narrative and language we re in trouble. "We're in trouble!"

    Dispiriting because they disagree with YOUR ideology . Micro fractions of society should not be put before 96% of society

    "…but I have more money than other people in Scotland, so my opinions matter more than the majority of voters and their democratic institutions, don't they?" Have we not progressed beyond this kind of privelege abuse yet?

    So in Scottland you can call me CIS and get away with it. CIS is offensive to me.

    Hey! Wait!
    I felt offended when you said that I do not have right to offend you!
    I will prosecute you by that… since I feel offended by your intolerance.
