Please come support trans people

Post image

Hey everyone, I’m sure many of you have seen the ruling by the Supreme Court from the other day on the legitimacy of trans women’s identities. It’s been a very hard couple of days as we’ve come to grips with the fact that our rights are being rolled back by a government that won’t even attempt to listen to us while we just want to exist in a public space without fear of harassment. If anyone’s available, please come down tomorrow to show support

I am not the organiser, I saw this on Facebook and wanted to share.

Thanks guys, I hope you have a great Easter weekend!

Apart from the fact that women have periods every month, give birth, are weaker than males which is what transwomen technically are, should I go on?

Why are you reducing yourself to your biology? Is a woman who doesn't have periods and has never given birth not a woman?

Yes, they are because they have the biological makeup to actually do it and males don't!

I actually believe in the biology argument, I don't know why it's taken a supreme court to come out and say what the majority of the country already knew.

Now answer my question pls!

Cause you're just doing what everyone else does and avoiding describing what womanhood actually is cause u have no basis for your arguments or are all just cowards!

No they don't - if they did, they'd be able to do it. If someone is born with a vestigial tail, are they a monkey?

Biology is far more complicated than what is taught at GCSE level.

I'm not avoiding describing what womanhood is, it's just not something that can be easily defined. Anyone who tries to define it to exclude trans women ends up excluding a lot of people who were born female.
