Reply to comment by Grig134 in SNP minister resigns over gender recognition plans by VORTXS

These aren’t my concerns, I’m not a woman and never had to fight for things like a safe space for my gender, and I won’t pretend to speak for them. I’m familiar with the debate however, which usually centers on rape crisis centers, gender-segregated accommodations on trains, and similar situations. The concern isn’t about assault, and frankly I think the concerns are overblown, but as I’ve said… my experience in life is profoundly different from a woman traumatized by men. For me there’s no problem accepting trans women as women, but again, I have the privilege of having no baggage with AMAB people.

Lol, good to know you don't have any concerns. Odd that you decided to comment anyway.

> I’m familiar with the debate however

Yes, the debate is to vaguely allude to trans people being rapists, attempt to ban them from shelters, and then backtrack if called out. I too am familiar with the debate.

It’s unfortunate that you’re ignoring 99% of what I’m writing in favor of sentence fragments and whatever you believed coming into this.

You quoted a section of the article saying there were concerns with the law. When asked about it you said you have no concerns and don't know what they would be. You're so obvious disingenuous it's hilarious.

Believe it or not, acting in bad faith because you assume I must be too is not really the basis for anything constructive.

Then make a point. What are your "concerns"?

When did I say that I have concerns? I quoted an article in which people who are not me expressed concerns, I can’t read their minds.

But you can read their statements. This is a "destruction of women's rights" according to JK Rowling, one "concerned" individual mentioned. You did read the article I'm guessing because you managed to quote part of it.

JK Rowling can blow it out of her many gaping sphincters, and the existence of transphobes like her doesn’t invalidate the concerns of women who aren’t scumbags.

What are their concerns then? Obviously, if you look for people "concerned" with this law, you'll find transphobia.

Do you believe that the only people you’ll find if you look for women concerned with this law, are transphobic women?

I've repeatedly asked you for evidence to the contrary.

You’ve asked me to prove a negative in relation to your assertion, and I’ve declined more than once. Still you’ve answered my question in a way I suppose, and it’s a clear “yes.”
