So, you’ve made up your mind to reject the idea that men – because gender-feelings – can become women.  Here are some of the arguments put forth when gender activists aren’t trying to assassinate your character, insult, or coerce you.  Dr. Hoenderkamp makes a useful list to guide your argumentation.

1. I had a conversation with a gay friend yesterday about the Trans debate and was reeling by the end of it. I wanted to address some of the commonly used arguments he used with confidence and which are often used;
2. “Trans women do not attack women in their spaces”.
Firstly there are no official figures to prove this because the police do not record biological sex, not because it doesn’t happen. There are lots of individual news reports. BUT its a moot argument because not all men are rapists but some are and we just don’t know who they will be so we solve that with protected spaces.
3. “So you would force a woman to go in to the mens toilet?”

This is not a problem for women to solve. We are just defending ourselves and protecting women and girls. It is not our job to solve the issue that trans people face. Just those we face.

4. “Are you also worried about lesbians raping women then”
This is another silly argument. Lesbians dont have a penis and so CANNOT rape a woman and a lesbian is just a woman who is sexually attracted to another woman, not a woman claiming to be a different sex that perpetuates 91% of rapes and against women.
5. “this is the same argument as that was against homosexuality in the 70’s”.

NO. It isn’t. Gay people just wanted to be free to love someone of the same sex. They were not asking to infringe the rights of another massive (half the population) group in society. They were not asking to enter spaces protected for very good safeguarding reasons.

5a. They were not mutilating their bodies, cutting off healthy genitals, taking medications that left them with irreversible side effects such as infertility, osteoporosis cancer risk and encouraging our children to do this.
5b. They were not asking women to accept their entry into women’s sports categories and forcing them to share changing space with them in pursuit of that sport and then lose to a naturally bigger, stronger, faster opponent.
5c. They were not insisting on entering female prisons, often making the change from male to female after offending, often a rape offence where the victim is forced to refer to her male rapist as she.
5d. They were not insisting that language change so that the word woman is removed from services specifically aimed at women. That the language around activities that can only be done by women, breastfeeding, childbirth, pregnancy be changed to include men.
5e. They were not insisting that our very small children be taught about their contested gender ideology and their sexual preferences be defined and taught to them.
5f. In actual fact, the only way that this whole debate is similar to the homosexual debate is that Trans ideology IS homophobic. It is essentially the new conversion therapy; as gay children are convinced that they are not gay, just in the wrong body. I have been witness to this happening.
5g. It is so transphobic that it hates lesbians, it tells them they must accept women with penises as their partners. They insist that lesbians must accept men in their spaces, on their dating sites, in their organisations and bullies them to try and achieve it. SO, its the opposite of the homosexuality debate/section 28 times.
6. “Its just about being kind and inclusive’

It isn’t. It isn’t kind to women, or children. It isn’t inclusive, its actually excluding. If the trans ideology was any of those things they would listen and understand women and not insist that women ‘just be kind’.

7. “It is just affecting a tiny proportion of people”

It isn’t. It is affecting 51% of the population. Women. For whom trans men have no empathy, consideration of compassion.

9. I finished the conversation with:
“Do you actually believe that a man can fully become a woman”

and I got the answer YES. So here is the problem. This is like trying to debate that the earth is round with someone who insists it is flat. They are so wedded to a concept that IS false that the debate cannot progress until they let go of that false belief.
