Females are born into: genital mutilation; femicide; date rape, marital rape, corrective rape; decreased access to education; reduced political power, and lower social status. These things are imposed on baby girls from the moment of birth because they were born female, and biological women do not experience these oppressions because of choice or self-identification. Accordingly, females need protection from these oppressions precisely because they are biological females, and this means we need sex-based safeguards for biological women (as opposed to sex-based safeguards for "Anyone who identifies as a woman").

Women deserve their own category and shouldn't have to include EVERYONE. Our rights are not for men to give and take away at men's whim. They are skewing statistics by lying in our name while committing horrible violence and sex crimes. Peeing next to little girls is not a civil right! Perverts!

“WOMAN” IS NEITHER A TYPE OF GENDER OR IDENTITY; IT IS IN FACT THE ONLY SINGLE TERM IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE THAT NEUTRALLY REFERENCES A PARTICULAR TYPE OF HUMAN BEING: AN ADULT HUMAN FEMALE.

Women is a person born as a woman, not a person who self identifies. Trans are their OWN category and do NOT need to steal our words and spaces.

I oppose sexism. I oppose the sexist notion men can be women simply by ‘saying so’. It is not progressive to invade and colonise female experience and reality.

Science has nothing to do with feelings. Science is about FACTS. How utterly shameful that a scientist thinks that facts boundaries should be loosened so as not to offend. He needs to hand in his scientist card!

Gender Identity is not a scientifically verifiable or observational trait. Sex is a scientifically verifiable and observable trait. Mammals only have two sexes.
