    How can someone be a woman “based on their biological sex” if at the the same time someone with that biological sex can claim to be a man, which I assume Tatchell believes?

    Contradiction in the gender idenniny camp, as always.

    Some people are women based on biological sex. The rest of the people are men.

    The two types of women are equally valid.

    The type based on biological sex is supported by:

    The evolution of anisogamic reproductive classes.

    The type based on gender identity is supported by:

    I KNOW IT I KNOW IT I WANT IT I WANT IT GIVE ME WHAT I WANT BELIEVE ME AGREE WITH ME OW OW OW AGREE WITH ME OW OW OW I KNOW IT I WILL KILL MYSELF I REALLY REALLY WILL BELIEVE ME GIVE ME WHAT I WANT OR ELSE JUST BE KIND.

    Both have their points.

    If they are not the same, why should we use the same word for both?

    Some things are bats by virtue of being flying mammals, and some things are bats by virtue of being used for hitting baseballs. #badpun

    If they are not the same, why should we use the same word for both

    Because both groups have to be the same in something even if it’s in name only.

    Of all the classic abuser/con artist moves the TIMs make, I think “forced teaming” is the most disgusting and the most hilarious. TRA Tatchell pulling the same gambit here. These clowns trying to tell us that women and men in womanface are “in this together” and that we have all the same problems, and all the same bad people want to do all the same things to TIMs and women. These particular men just can’t seem to grok that we women actually pay attention to what happens to us and that our memories generally work fine. There is no “we” for men in womanface and women.

    #7 Your remark, Bjarte, reminds me of a skit on British television a great many years ago when the main comedian (whose name I forget) was trying to introduce cricket to a group of Transylvanians. When he brought in the subject of bats, there was great consternation.

    Actually I’m grateful to Peter Tatchell. If he didn’t explain it how would I know what a woman was?
