If you not noticed, but definition of man is not including transmen for the same purposes of political representation.

This means that in both cases - people born female are in disadvantage, regardless of their gender representation and regardless of their prefered gender role.

Test someone's commitment. Tell them criminal transmen wil be taken straight to mens prisons. No appeal.

Let's see if they stick with it then.

They will not care, as they never care about transmen - just like never care about other females.

Just like in this Scottish court case and Hate Bill - transwomen are included into "women" and specified directly, while transmen are not mentioned and not included into "men" for representation purposes. Court case is saying that "in the rule of 50/50 for men/women representation in government transwomen are considered as women's 50%" and transmen not mentioned at all and were not considered as "men's 50%". So transwomen can take women's spots and they are protected by court descision to do so, while transmen can't take men's spots and there no protection for them. So in both cases - people born female are in disadvantage.

This just once again illustrates to us that sexism is sex-based, that oppression is sex-based, and that "changing gender" changes nothing in power dynamics.

I want cats to have the same rights as us humans and to be able to sue anyone who dares chases them because they just want to play with a cat.
