opposition to the new scottish policy i don't get it like it's the rape is the problem right i don't care about the perpetrator's gender identity they should be prosecuted to the full extent and that does happen it's just that uh their gender identity is respected uh in scotland in this scenario so i feel like those who are on the side of things like the scottish policy where people can just identify as whatever they want they don't seem to understand or at least they pretend to not understand the fact that it's not just trans people who might be changing their gender identity it's not just people who actually have gender dysphoria who might want to be referred to as like a man instead of a woman or vice versa and gain access to those perhaps male only or female only spaces when you rely solely on the concept of self-identification when it comes to gender identity when you get rid of any requirement where it says that people need to have gone to therapy have seen doctors or be medically transitioning in order to qualify as a certain gender you have to realize that there are absolutely people out there bad actors who will take advantage of your stupid law to hurt people and i think the concept of someone lying about their gender identity to gain access to a woman's only space like a prison uh should seem especially believable when we are talking about male rapists i know she gets called a turf or anti-trans a lot but jk rowling has repeatedly reaffirmed the fact that she has nothing against trans people it really does not seem like if you are someone out there who simply suffers from gender dysphoria which is a medical condition that jk rowling would see you any differently or want to judge you and really it just seems like jk rowling wants people to acknowledge that yes biological sex is real uh the concept of self-identification is not the be-all end-all and women's only spaces exist for a reason i feel like just five years ago this would have been a very insane concept but now jk rowling gets attacked anytime she opens her mouth with anything i feel like just five years ago this was a very sane very widespread concept but now anytime jk rowling mentions biological sex she gets attacked but anyway next jankyr chimes in and his take is even more brain dead than anna's if that's even possible which apparently it is is there an epidemic of this of trans people raping folks and then being in their opinion mislabeled i don't know that there's a single case of it so the police might have said we're going to do this for all crimes probably the the right wing in this case jk rowling as well picks the one crime that seems in their minds most absurd right and says ah-ha we got the cops has i literally don't know if there's been a single reported case of this in in the uk there's this saying which tells us to never attribute to malice what incompetence could also explain but when it comes to the young turks maybe it's just me i'm a little less likely to just assume they're uninformed rather than actively misleading their audience and no it's not just because they are
