What does that even mean?..I'm starting to worry about your comprehension skills..

It's a deflection. The cause of rights for LGB, and Transgenders are light years apart but he'll continue trying to link them to give his beliefs some validity. He's probably hoping that you forget that you asked the question if he adds in more variables... and then he'll say that he forgot what the question was... He did it three times to me, and eventually I became triggered... I'm expecting to see the same tactic repeated on others...

In prison there needs to be more than self Id because then someone who isn't actually trans could abuse the situation.

This is coming from the same person who argues that sex offenders couldn't abuse self-ID to gain access to women's changing rooms.

Either the system is open to abuse or it isn't. You can't pick and choose and say that it's open to abuse in some situations but not in others.

They would need to be at a certain stage of transition and have medical approval.

So you "need to be at a certain stage of transition" to gain full acceptance as a woman? That implies that a self-identified trans person who hasn't medically transitioned isn't really a woman — despite your stated belief that all trans women are women.

Sports discriminate all the time. Different weight classes in boxing for example.

On what basis would you tell a 150 lb trans boxer that "she" can't fight a 150 lb natural-born woman? As far as you are concerned, both of them are women and both of them weigh the same — so what's the problem?

Instead of having designated male and female spaces, just have penis and penisless spaces. That way everybody's happy. Trans people don't have to say they are a different gender than they see themselves as. Sex offenders can't get into womens prisons with their genitals intact. Biological males get to assert that they have a penis every time they use the Jacks. [It's great to have a penis. Not surprised that two thirds of m2f trans choose to keep theirs.]

Even without genitals, physical strength is preserved and sexual assault doesn’t just involve penetration.

Someone in prison will be very desperate to get into an easier regime. People risk their lives to escape. Someone on the outside though is hardly going to change just so they can see a flash of your mickey in the changing rooms.

Plenty of other metricks besides weight can be used, BMI, testosterone levels etc. It's not insurmountable most sports bodies already have rules about it.

Now you're belittling the experiences of sexual assault victims. And yet you're the one preaching "compassion"?

In case you haven't noticed, sex offenders can be every bit as determined and desperate to target their victims.

All of these "metrics" involve trying to find ways to distinguish trans women from natural-born women — which undercuts the activists' claim that trans women are women. You can't have it both ways. You can't recognize someone as a woman but then tell her that "metrics" prevent her from competing in female athletic contests.

Testosterone checks or BMI or whatever. Like they do now. Didn't say prevent anyone. You seem to be making a huge issue out of something that happens already.

Since you don't appear to have read the article posted above, let me quote a relevant section:

Under the current IOC guidelines, issued in November 2015, athletes who transition from male to female can compete in the women’s category without requiring surgery to remove their testes provided their total testosterone level in serum is kept below 10 nanomoles per litre for at least 12 months.

Those guidelines, used by most sports federations to draw up their transgender policies, have proved controversial, given that women’s testosterone levels tend to range between 0.12 and 1.79 nmol/l, while men’s are typically between 7.7 to 29.4 nmol/l.

The Guardian understands some scientists on the IOC panel have argued that reducing the permitted testosterone levels to 5nmol/L – below most males – would provide a reasonable compromise between inclusion and fairness, ensuring that trans women could still compete in the women’s category while taking away most of the advantages of undergoing male puberty.

However, others disagree, pointing to the emerging findings from the Karolinska Institute in Sweden, which show that testosterone suppression for transgender women has little effect on reducing muscle strength even after a year of treatment. That indicates that at least some of the physical advantages of those who have gone through male puberty are maintained even after transitioning.

What they "do now" evidently isn't fair to natural-born female athletes. As the article notes, a trans athlete can compete against women if they have testosterone levels under 10 nmol/l, but a natural born woman's testosterone levels tend to range only between 0.12 and 1.79 nmol/l. So a trans athlete could easily have testosterone levels ten or twenty times that of their female competitors. And even if the required testosterone levels are reduced, other research indicates that it wouldn't matter all that much anyway.

This problem isn't impossible to solve different classes of athletic compete against each other all the time. Just a case of finding the right metrics. Not a reason to ban trans people from sports.

So you assure us. Mysteriously, though, numerous top scientists and international athletics bodies don't seem to have any equitable solution to offer natural-born female athletes — and it doesn't look likely that one will emerge anytime soon.

Not a reason to ban trans people from sports.

Yet again, your concern is entirely about trans people. You have nothing to say about the female athletes who are being robbed of equality of opportunity, and sometimes put at serious physical risk, thanks to those pushing the trans agenda in sports.

It's been going on for like 4 days non-stop. The sports, the changing rooms, the prisons. My head hurts. No Irish sporting incidents involving trans people. No Irish changing room incidents involving trans people. No Irish prison incidents involving trans people. No abuse of Self ID in the 5 years it's been law. If these people spent as much time caring about issues that have actually taken place in this country and trying to find solutions to those maybe this would be an even better country and there'd certainly be a lot less fear-mongering content online.

Unless we allow female athletes to take performance enhancing drugs - that damage their bodies - there is no metric by which they can measure up with transgender women. We’ve seen not particularly in shape transgender men top podiums next to lithe women.

Is there a time-limit on discussing a topic? And can people not care about more than one thing at a time?

There’s been plenty of examples giving on this thread. Ireland is a low population country so naturally it will take longer for similar things to show up here. But we’re not special. Any of those things could happen here. So we can prevent things rather than treating people like collateral damage.

And considering sexual crimes are often not reported, how do you there have been no changing room incidents?

Any of those things "could" happen here! I've just read a thread on a different Board about how Russia "could" invade Ireland. Afterall, they have the means to do so and have a history of invading other countries. Does that mean I'm going to live in fear of every waking second of a Russian invasion? No, of course not, that would be ludicrous. Another ice age "could" happen given that it's happened in the past. Does that mean I'm going to fear extinction to come at any moment? No, that's not a life. These phony battlefields of things that "could" happen are little more than dog whistles.

It is amusing the way some people attach the qualification "Irish" to their arguments, as if it must happen in Ireland to be real, and yet the
same people argue global climate issues, US politics and entertainment and UK sports. People have had more than their heads hurt elsewhere because of the clash between rights. There have been rapes in prison, rape shelters and severe injuries in sports.

The worst part is the abuse trans people get from this fear mongering. Assuming they are dishonest or sex offenders. All this backs up the thugs who beat and kill trans people. Pages of bigoted posts then pretend to be all worried about fairness in sports lol

Because we abide by IRISH law! Because the sports arena is controlled by IRISH sporting bodies. Changing rooms controlled by IRISH owners/managers. Prisons run by the IRISH state. We're on an IRISH forum and it's IRISH (!!) trans people who are far more likely to try and kill themselves than you, your wife, your son or your daughter are ever likely to because there are people in IRISH society who make things so intolerable for them to live their lives in peace.

Seriously, STFU about dog whistles. Self-ID has caused problems in other countries. Is Ireland special? Why could those issues NOT happen here? We’ve already had a transgender female houses in the Dochas Centre. A sex offender, no less.

Largest feminist movement in America (if we are leaving the country briefly) are in favour of trans rights.

T stands as part of LGBTQ and I think you'll find the vast majority of OUR group stand in solidarity with them because we know what it's like to be marginalised and to be accused of being sexual deviants.

Transgender women will commit crimes at the same rates as biological males. Because they are biological males. Biological males carry out by far the most violent crime. I’m not even subtly linking. I’m saying of course some transgender women will be sex offenders because if a certain proportion of biological men are sex offenders then that percentage will hold for transgender women. Why wouldn’t it? But some transgender women want to be allowed into women’s prison where they will have a huge physical advantage over pretty much every woman in the place.

But no sorry, derpy derp dog whistle.

Where is that statistic? Seriously you've repeated this like a dozen times but where is the statistic to back it up? I literally did 1 google search, found 1 study and it found that trans people are half as likely to commit a sexual assault than a cis person. How can you possibly debate trans rights then when you refuse to acknowledge the reality of trans people existing? How utterly pointless is that?

Do you know what is on you? The rapes or sexual assault that will result if anyone with bad intent (and I do not mean trans people) self declares their gender to freely enter a sex segregated intimate public space where vulnerable people are undressed or confined without means of escape and assaults people there. No one will be able to object because of Self ID. Those assaults - voyeurism, upskirting, sex assault, intimidation - by anyone (and I do not mean trans people) will be on you because you have insisted on the removal of the rational existence of safeguarding. Every time you hear of such in the future - it is on you, because you championed it and abused people who objected.

That is entirely for the courts to decide. If a court decides that a person IS transgender, has been living as a transgender person then yes. How many examples are there of this actually happening in our society are there?

If trans people half as likely to commit sexual assault than cis people, is the bigger threat to women male prison guards? I wonder is there more reported cases of male prison guards sexually assaulting prisoners or trans people?

In fairness, anyone who says that is an idiot. I don't really think anyone is saying that here. I think you can find examples of trans activists saying such things and I would classify them as idiots.

Male prison guards can also be an issue. And?

Incidentally though, academics have reported struggling to get funding for studies that might challenge the current transgender orthodoxy.

It's so strange, if this is so widely known and so open to abuse, in the last 5(!!!) years why has nobody taken up this loophole in our justice system? Are our criminals just really dumb? Do our lawyers not advise their clients well enough? What is it?
