No, not anyone can be a woman. Only those who’ve survived girlhood can become a woman.

Sexist based discrimination against women. Is the word “man” going to be redefined to pander to a misogynistic “transgender” ideology?
Women are not objective entities that can have their biological statuses as females/women altered by a loudmouth minority? Biology defines what a woman is, not some selfish lobby group using purely subjective definitions to suit only themselves. This is blatant sex-based discrimination and is stupid and harmful.

Men cannot appropriate women or change their sex. Same with women saying they are men. They can however wear what they want, love consensually, and learn to accept themselves - not be fed a delusional. Children and teens especially must ge protected. They can’t possibly understand the severity, problems and endgame that taking hormones and surgery can ultimately
Harm them - irreversible damage. Women ARE NOT merely vagina havers or birthing parents. This is female erasure and misogyny.

Please protect biological women and cherish their rights, their identity, and their autonomy and freedom. Women have struggled for thousands of years just to get to where they are today. And now their entire identity is under attack by those who insist that "anyone" can be a woman.

Women are born. We are not a feeling or a costume. We are a biological class of humans. Men can never become women.

Woman - Adult female human. See that’s easy, the dictionary definition and a scientific fact. Women are not denying trans rights or saying that people can’t identify as whatever they want and live their best life. Why then are governments and major groups now denying Women’s rights in favour of trans rights? Trans women are biological men who have gone through a medical and/or surgical transition to enable them to live as a woman, although with self ID no actual transition seems to be required. If they were biological women there would be no need for them to transition. Women deserve to be protected and supported as we have fought hard over several generations and for many years to achieve our societal rights, single sex sports and safe spaces. By all means support trans women and help them to get their own safe spaces etc but do not take from women while doing so.

I feel that Transexuals should be treated the same as any other person in a modern democratic society. However the Transgender movement is allowing heterosexual men to declare themselves women overnight and access women's spaces with fully intact genitals. This is NOT acceptable. It's helps no one, least of all genuine Transexuals.
There needs to be a line drawn to protect women, and their sex based rights, the same as any other person in a modern democratic society.

A woman is an adult female human. Unless you are also redefining the term "man" stop trying to erase what women are.

You're not trying to redefine the word "man" so why are you trying to redefine the word woman? You've no right! Women are FULL, AUTONOMOUS HUMAN BEINGS! Stop claiming that anyone can be a woman, they can't! Men will never be women, not through surgery, drugs, name changes or clothing! Stop it!
