Let us do our own thing. I know females rape by the way. And I am not a feminist. I like men. I seek EQUALITY only. Feminism is a movement that seriously lost its way.

We made them for ourselves so we could get a break from men telling us what women are, what women can and cannot do, etc etc. And in a great many women created women only spaces the criteria is 'identifies as female'. If you think it was about 'safeguarding', and toilets, it just shows your profound lack of understanding of feminist history.

(the post to which you replied linked to their not secret Twitter account which linked to the study) I then linked to their not secret website. Why is it nasty?
Gruffalox wrote: » https://www.womenarehuman.com/category/crime/ An extensive record. Which you likely won't look at but maybe others will. Studies find transwomen offend at the same rate as males and in similar areas. Transmen offend slightly differently to women and testosterone is one possible likely contributor. It is a big area, eg the number of sex offenders among transwomen in UK prisons is very high. 0.9% of natal females in prison are sex offenders. For transwomen it is at the absolute minimum 4% and more likely closer to 40% according to stats publicly available. I dont have time to repeat what I have posted before many times.
According to one source, female-perpetrated sexual abuse of inmates is a particularly large problem in juvenile detention centers, where 90% of victims of staff abuse say a female correctional officer was the perpetrator. According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, around 80,000 women and men a year get sexually abused in American correctional facilities.

If he wasnt somewhat famous with a blue tick he would have been banned long ago. if you have been paying attention all along his permanent suspension is perfectly valid and no surprise. If you havent then why do you suddenly care now?

Sir Oxman wrote: » The full reasons why accounts are closed - Twitter being a massive data collecting company, this shouldn't prove too onerous on them. Offending consistent (that's what they say they base banning on) tweets and the specific terms they broke. Laid out simply and coherently and transparently. I think that would benefit everyone that uses Twitter. Bonus! It would stop the many, many people repeating 'what they heard/interpreted' 'or what someone saw' as fact after the event which then veers into even more gossip column psychoanalysis twaddle.

Gruffalox wrote: » Oh dear. The WHOLE point is the small number in the Dutch study. Such a tiny number to base affirmation medicalisation on. And the WHOLE other point was that the natal females were worse off no matter what they did, pubertal blockers, cross sex hormones etc they still had all the issues they had before- just increased in severity. And the 96% is to show that the line given that pubertal blockers are a holding phase while the child figures out what they want is a mistruth since most go on...and suffer irregardless. How do you feel about your frontal lobes LLMMLL? Are you glad they had a chance to properly develop in puberty and that your IQ did not take a hit? I sure am glad mine had the chance to mature.

I mentioned the hyperbolic use of 'hate' and 'violent' flung about with abandon today. I fully understand Twitter et al are private platforms. My belief is that the monopoly is a hugely unhealthy state of affairs.
