    Why yes, that sounds like a brilliant idea–thank you for thinking of it.

    What an oblivious twit. Still, reaches right conclusion for exactly the wrong reason, so a half point for effort I guess.

    “All the assaults” – one assault.

    Assaults by transwomen on women; predation by transwomen on young girls; pervving by transwomen on young girls = nothing to see here, folks, just move on.

    But what gets me is this:

    sorry – we don’t recognise the term “transwomen”. just the term “women” will do for these purposes. all the women will be able to use the women’s bathroom just as they do now. it’s just the ciswomen who will need to use the new, third space and be segregated from everyone else.

    So transwomen are women. But those of us who are women are not women, we are ciswomen. They finally admitted it – the word woman now is to refer only to men. Men who pretend they’re women, yes, but still men.

    So “transwomen” is improper because they’re just women, damnit.

    But “ciswomen” is ok.

    I’m starting to think you’re correct that “cis” is being used as an insult.

    Wow, for a minute there I read him as saying this: A⋃B=C;A=ciswomen;B=transwomen;C=women.

    Then I went back and reread it. Fuck me, he is saying that women=transwomen. It’s the use of “need” rather than “be able” or “have the option” that does it.

    The funniest part is that if there were a “ciswomen” bathroom, the TIMs would be killing people to get into it.

    There’s another way of looking at this:

    Transwomen are not safe in men’s bathrooms…

    Transwomen are not safe in women’s bathrooms…

    The issue of safety is the same either way (bullshit I know, but you see where I’m going), so what does it matter if they’re not allowed in women’s bathrooms?

    How delightfully daft, to insist that “transwomen” must be referred to now as simply “women”, and then say there should be a “ciswomens” bathroom. Sex is binary and no amount of gender gyrations changes that fact.

    Incidentally, has any reputable news source corroborated this story?

    I haven’t checked but I doubt it.

    So…………just thinking, not advocating for anybody to actually do anything…….if TIMs, for some reason, become too scared to use women’s facilities and they don’t want to use the men’s facilities……..there could be a third space made for TIMs? And if that third space idea does not appeal to them but, well, things happening that keep the TIMs afraid to use women’s spaces, then they could stay home or choose to be with their bros in the men’s spaces? So Harrop The Liar is telling most of the world’s population that making TIMs afraid might get us what we want? Really, Harrop?

    I don’t think Harrop means this literally, I think he’s trolling us pesky women by pretending we’re a subset of women while men who say they are women are the real women, who don’t need any prefix…but he’s making a fool of himself in the process.

    Oh, certainly Harrop The Liar is on a troll roll but, as you note, this one is biting him in the butt. Though he pretty much makes a fool out of himself with his very existence so………….

    What about us giraffes? When do we get a dunny of our own?

    If the incident referred to were actually to have happened, I expect that an honest* news article would read:

    Chop Chop! Pervert Picks the Wrong Ladies

    Cross-Dressing predator John Thomas McDongle, who likes to be known as Trixiebelle Twinklethighs, got a surprise on Sunday when he attempted to perv on the women using the Ladies loos in Pankhurst town centre. Plucky 42-year-old mother-of-two Emily Davison, who has been practising karate since she was a toddler, saw the man enter a stall as she was washing her hands. In her own words “Next thing I know, I see his head in the mirror – he’s standing on the loo, looking down at the girl in the next stall. She screams, he comes out and lunges for me, I lay him flat with a nice chop to the side of his neck.”

    Despite protests that he’s innocent and a real woman, McDongle was referred by the magistrate to the men’s prison and mental health services.

    *Yes, I know. Sigh. Possibly in the other Trouser Leg of Time. The one we were supposed to go down.

    Thanks for that, Tigger. I really needed a laugh!
