I appreciated Ella Whelan's closing views on the re-gendering malarky. A "mess" and "mad". People can, and often do whatever they like with their own bodies. Go for it! Have fun! Enjoy! But please don't try and brainwash me into thinking it's ok to share the same opinions or facilities with unknown re-gendered men, that I should ignore facts and settled science, nor that I should use words that are derogatory to me as a woman (who's very happy to have been born a woman). Thing is, as we've seen consistently via the media, men wanting to be women don't seem to actually want to be women. They actually seem to want to colonise and dominate yet another 'uncharted territory'.

@kyers9817 Yes, indeed. So for them, their experience of 'being a woman' is a creation of their own minds and what they pick and choose from the culture ? I can bet that they're not choosing the burden of doing 60% more domestic chores than men do! Nor the period pains every month, the being treated like airheads , nor the being groped... It all sounds rather narcissistic to me.

@gregmcfarnon1140 Oh yes, of course! Didn't see it from that perspective! I wonder how the men who grope them feel on learning that they're not women? (No idea who those people you named are). There are very, very few women who'd take kindly to being groped by an unknown man. That negative response is an instinctive part of being a woman, for all sorts of biological, physical, psychological and social reasons. So there's a fundamental divergence right there.

Well, they've effectively worked their way through 1984 and Animal Farm. Why not The Trial? What next? Gulag Archipelago?
