Now how many will still insist they're biologically female.

A lot of them already do lol. For all the lines of sex and gender are different they sure do like insisting they're female.

Their reasoning is "I'm a biological organism, and I'm female". It's the 2+2=5 approach to biology.

Yeah, the only way to stop it is to make the law flat-out say "cisgendered AFAB."

Then, it goes to "if you say you're a cis woman, you'll use your own slur and be seen as the enemy and all your friends will tweet mean K-Pop GIFs to you on Twitter."

They've been easing over to that "female" side for a while now. The old "I've been on estrogen for X amount of years, so my body is more "female" than male now" argument. No, you're still a delusional male who has mutilated himself chasing to be something, you never will.

They gradually erased definitional boundaries so when laws get pulled back they will use the ambiguity to try to run in.

Ministers are considering updating equalities law in a move that could stop trans women from accessing women's-only hospital wards and competing in women's sports.

Kemi Badenoch, the women and equalities minister, has written to Britain's equalities watchdog about updating legislation to make clear that 'sex' refers to 'biological sex'.

In a 19-page letter to Ms Badenoch, EHRC chair Baroness Kishwer Falkner identified eight areas where updating the Equality Act could bring benefits.

This includes in the employment of staff in safe spaces such as women's or girls' hostels, the use of women's-only wards in hospitals, and the exclusion of trans women from women's sports.
