I don't think the issues are that complicated. It now creates a precedent that women may be required to prove their womenhood and there's no way we can do that.

Bad faith actors could start to strip searches or refuse things and then claim "I thought she was trans".

That is a funny one! There was a trans man who did a campaign #WeJustNeedToPee to highlight just that.
I quote a previous tweet as I am lazy to redo all the ALT but it makes no sense.

That's why I'll be protesting this week end.
Placard showing a cartoon of a man looking in a women's pants saying "I am inspecting your genital to protect you from abuse". Few quotes are written too, one is asking how can I prove my gender? Pointing at the man, asking how else are they going to know and who will decide if I need a check? Asking a more general question. Why do you care so much about what is in my pants?

"Transphobia isn't feminist. Feminism has always questioned what it means to be a woman. We have fought against conformity and defining us by anatomy or fertility. We have no intention of starting now."

From the amazing @libdemwomen.bsky.social
Poster saying Transphobia isn't feminist Poster saying Feminism has always questioned what it means to be a woman. We have fought against conformity and defining us by anatomy or fertility. We have no intention of starting now. Poster saying Demeaning trans people, denying them dignities such as using public toilets, harms us all. Human rights are indivisible and the erosion of theirs is relevant to everyone.

There's no rules anymore, who's going to stop me?

I'm not a trans woman but who's going to check? And who's going to check if men won't just pretend to be trans men like I'm doing here?

The supreme court ruling will endanger all women for those who will try to apply it out of ideology. Idiots.

I cannot comprehend how people see the situations illustrated by this trans man and his campaigh #Wejustwanttopee and think that will make women safe.

Is it what makes sense @maitlis.bsky.social @jonsopel1.bsky.social ?
Hughes, of course, is the 45-year-old Minnesota activist who brought the #WeJustNeedToPee campaign to the US, following the lead of Canada's Brae Carnes. The campaign continues to garner significant attention, and this week Hughes appeared on MSNBC to discuss it with Thomas Roberts. "It was a bit of a tough decision, I knew I was forever outing myself," but "I knew I could get at some of these conservatives by showing them a tall bearded man in a women's bathroom," Hughes says, taking a break from preparing himself for a Wednesday interview on MSNBC about the selfie campaign. Hughes notes that before the unexpected publicity his photos have garnered, he primarily lived stealth — a term used in the trans community when a trans person is not open about their trans status.

The fiancé @stewcelliott.bsky.social 🥲
Screenshot of a WhatsApp chat where I share the article saying I feel seen. Fiancé replies that I should stop smashing them then as he doesn't think they like that. I replied not to say that as I'll feel guilty about that too!

Ha, as a woman in #STEM, I would defo NOT apply for a job in a company that does this kind of click bait.

The urge is real. I really want to call them out but engagement is what they seek. What to do?

If you are in Derbyshire, don't use them.

No. Don't want.
