It's not baseless as a matter of fact nor a matter or common sense - male sex offenders will and have exploited transgender identity to enable sexual assaults and rapes, there are over 100 reports worldwide.

You could (fairly) argue that these are not 'real' TG people, it's the [Poor language removed] of humanity indulging their depravity any which way they can. The majority of TG people want to just quietly get on with their lives. But equally I don't see how you can dismiss women who aren't very happy about this given the gigantic asymmetry that exists in violence between the sexes.

Not to trivialise that but we deal with it in the same way we deal with any violence against women. I'm not sure why it needs it's own special category. Violence against women is something humanity is really bad at dealing with.

Disclaimer: I am not a woman. I do not know if violence perpetrated by a trans woman is more physically or psychologically dangerous than violence done by somebody else.
 
The concern about transgenders invading women's spaces and offending would seem to be baseless. Stats from countries where legislation is already in place - Ireland, Switzerland, Norway, Denmark - report no instances.
Of course, blokes could obtain access under false pretences and committ assaults but that could happen anyway, and rather suggests we should be addressing male behaviour in general towards females in our society instead of getting exercised about the small number of transgenders that we have.

No hate here my friend.

Do you "hate" children if you believe 15 is too young to vote in an election ?

Do you "hate" blind people for believing they shouldn't be able to get behind a wheel of a car ?

People toss that word around to the point its lost a lot of meaning.
 
Ironically national service would be the making of anyone younger than your typical centrist because the centrists are the last great generation before the young got woke and soft.
To be fair the boomer middle managers who have destroyed the planet and voted away any benefits society fought for consider themselves to be just as tough.
 
Gender Dysphoria is not considered a mental health illness because trans are lumped in the LGBTQ umbrella so to label it as such means you start labelling homosexuality etc. which opens up a huge can of worms (and is also wrong as homosexuality is based on preference of sexual attraction). But by the letter of the law gender dysphoria is a mental health illness.

Also 6 years is nothing - that means currently a 22-24 year old can be fully transitioned.

At 22 I didnt know who I was as a person never mind at 16. The human brain also doesn't full develop until 25-28 for most human adults.
30 apparently.

Let's stop doing everything until everyone reaches 30. It's the only safe way.
 
The human brain also doesn't full develop until 25-28 for most human adults.

The human brain largely stops developing grey matter (neurons) at about 11-12 yrs of age. What continues to develop until about age 21 and perhaps up to ages 25-28 is mylenation, which is the insulation of the neuronal axon with a fatty sheath to increase the speed of an electrochemical impulse down the neuron and across the synapse to another neuron. It is unclear if and how mylenation affects judgment during these ages.

The hype surrounding "brain development continues into age 30" is mostly that--a bunch of neuroscientists/psychiatrists that document changes in brain activity across different ages, including some new synapses forming in the frontal lobe in the late 20s. To me, calling these changes "development" is like calling a rusting roof with occasional repairs "development". It is likely that they are just changes in rewiring that co-occur age, but these changes don't necessarily mean it's still developing (likely the changes are just another form of brain plasticity, a hallmark of the brain).

I suspect that "good" judgment is not determined by brain changes (or "development") at age 25-28, but largely by other factors, most of which have to do with personality traits in combination with local circumstances and hormone levels. More importantly, the changes in the brain during the ages of 20-30 likely don't have anything to do with gender identity as this is clearly something that emerges early on, well before puberty.
 
I agree 100% however there are many in the medical community who do argue that it should be classified as such. You can debate to the cows come home why it hasn't been labelled a mental illness but I would argue a key reason is because being trans means you're in the LGBTQ unbrella so to label gender dysphoria as such means you have to also label homosexuality the same yet gender dysphoria and homosexuality are completely different things hence why I dont believe they should be lumped in the same social "group".
Name three.

1/ Male behaviour like the Rotherham rape gangs and the Telford ones too etc etc etc?

The laws are already there if you don`t already know - it`s illegal to rape woman and it`s especially heinous to allow the rape of vulnerable girls. Its also scandalous and sickening that it was allowed to go on for years and it`s still happening too.

You`ve got your own opinion but mine happens to be that if you`ve got the XY chromosome you`re a male and therefore you should serve your time like a good boy in a mens prison.
