Jane B: “Whose existence are we going to debate next? Answer the question put to you above, don’t deflect.”

Do you actually read comments properly before you go off half-cocked?

Read my comment again. Sigh…. I was responding to Samwise, who’d asked that question of Martyn, who Samwise mistakenly believes wrote the original post.

Again: get over yourself. Transphobia, my foot! I doubt that you even know what it means.

Theodore: “Anyone else you feel should be excluded because, you know, they’re different?”

Well well: yet another example of the straw man fallacy. Sundry folks are doing well on this site in that regard.

Hear this: what we were talking about above was the fact that in our view, it’s wrong for biological men to be competing in women’s sport. If you would engage, please stick to the argument.

If a person has testicles, they’re a biological male: their physical development has therefore been informed by testosterone. This gives them an unfair physical advantage over women with whom they compete.

Have you not heard of sexual dimorphism? If not, you’d do well to make yourself better-informed.

Sexual dimorphism is the way the world is, and no amount of semantic gymnastics or identity politics will change that.

Jane B: “Let’s put a purple triangle on their clothing. Make it easy when it comes time to round them up.”

Congratulations on providing a neat example of the straw man fallacy.

For heaven’s sake! Get over yourself. Stop reading into others’ comments meanings that aren’t there.

This bring us neatly on to the problem which is are they using public transport or ethical green sailing ships to lower their carbon footprint :p

you please be considerate Jane B . if the word for these people in SAms world is what it is , then thats what it is .

what gives you the right to take his language from him .

people speaking like SAm are not the problem .

ignorance is the problem and yes intolerance .

Sam, unless you are deliberately trolling, the actual terms are “trans man”, “trans woman” or transgender person. Not “tranny” or “transvestite”.

Please be considerate.

“Gay and lesbian people aren’t like trans people, as I’m sure you know full well.”

Not like us, you mean?

They’re DIFFERENT you mean?

They are THE OTHER, is that what you mean?

Let’s put a purple triangle on their clothing. Make it easy when it comes time to round them up.

I am disgusted by the naked bigotry I am reading here.

D’estterre, your transphobia is obvious.

Perhaps you should start listening to REAL feminists and not be so selective to satisfy your prejudice.
