For transgender people who suffer from dysphoria then they may not see it as a choice, although there are transwomen who recognise that they are not literally women and ditto for transmen.
For transgender people who don't suffer from dysphoria, then what makes them a woman or man if not a choice they make? Oh wait a minute, do you think that you have to have dysphoria to be transgender? That's an outdated view, check out Stonewall's definition of transgender. No dysphoria required at all.
That is putting words into my mouth. Nothing I have wrote has actually touched upon GD. In fact GD is not limited to transgenders. That said, trans people like Rose of Dawn, are more than likely working off the older definitions of the words, and by
that standard, I can agree that she is not a woman. But that standard is quickly fading. Transgender people do not have a choice in being who and what they are. It doesn't mean that they will get GD, but it doesn't change the fact that they are transgendered. They may not even feel a need to do any kind of transitioning. What they do is a choice. Being transgendered is not a choice. But with that also comes discovery and self truth. As noted GD does not only stem from transgenderism, so if GD is present, the individual needs to ensure what the source is. Furthermore, if they are indeed transgendered, they have to determine what their gender actually is. Maybe they are more gender fluid, not really a man or a woman, but some blend of each. That also could be part of Rose's assertion that she is not a woman.
Most men aren't rapists but try walking behind a woman down a dark street and she how she reacts.
On a dark street, she won't know that the person following her is a man. She might presume so, but I could set a larger build woman to follow the "victim" and the victim would make the same conclusion. Perception is separate from reality. Which is why I make the point of the female on female rapist that would still be allowed in the women's changing room.
In UK law rape requires a penis so can only be carried out by males.
Which only illustrates the difference between the actual definition and legal definitions.
https://www.dictionary.com/browse/rape said:
rape
noun
1. unlawful sexual intercourse
or any other sexual penetration of the vagina, anus, or mouth of another person, with or without force, by a sex organ, other body part, or foreign object, without the consent of the victim.
2.
statutory rape.
3. an act of plunder, violent seizure, or abuse; despoliation; violation:
the rape of the countryside.
Rape is not limited to what the law says. The legal definition only defines what the law will recognize. It can limit the scope such as the UK rape law, or expand the scope such as many US incest laws do in making legal ties with no blood connection as a basis for incest legally.
What the hell do you think would happen if a male heavyweight boxer fought a female heavyweight boxer?? You seriously think that's an equal fight? Dear God.
Heavyweight for men is 200#+ while for women it's 175#+. Basically what you are claiming is that there is no women who can match men for the weight class. For my example, I am first going to acknowledge the skill of boxing. A skilled welterweight boxer of 10 years experience, can easily whoop a heavyweight qualified non boxer anyday. So for this example, since we are talking about men vs women in boxing, we have to make an assumption of equal skill, or as equal as it ever gets in a ring. I would say that Nataliya Kuznetsova, assuming equal skill in boxing, would be more than a match for Anthony Joshua. I am not making any claims that there would be a large number of women who could reach to that standard, but if Nataliya wanted to box against men, I have no doubt that she could hold her own, skill level accounted for.
The prison Karen White was sent to was a closed category prison. Not the top level of high security but it will house violent prisoners who are not a major escape risk. Rose West, the serial killer spent time there.
Still sounds like White was sent to the wrong prison for the level of crimes committed. But again, this doesn't prove the rule, only notes the exception. Maybe they need to send White to an American high security women's prison, and see how long he lasts when they find out his/her crime. And there is still the question of do you send a woman on woman rapist (Do you think the act would be any less traumatic because the law doesn't recognize it as rape? But I assume that it would be at least sexual assault, right?) to a woman's prison, for her to do to the other inmates what White did?
