      How do any lesbians exist by that logic? Sex and sexuality are not the same, they aren't even effected by the same things. They could be asexual and have no interest in sex too, or bi, or just straight and only interested in a husband and family and normal as possible life, like most transsexuals.

    At 10:46 I am struck with one thought. Laws should never be so complicated or convoluted or confusing that the average person can't understand them, because it's the average person that's tasked with adhering to them. Special sex classes aren't held to the same standards and powerful, influential people won't be. What good are they then?

  • @somerandomhomeboy
    @somerandomhomeboy Месяц назад +8

    My question is why are we taking "exceptional circumstances" to make laws that effect every one?
    As much as a tiny fraction of a fraction of people find it absolutely necessary to pursue this pathway, elevated this impluse to the status of a "human right" devalues the very notion of why we have "human rights" to begin with.

    While they dismiss the importance of repealing the GRA, I do think it would serve as a significant marker if it were to happen. A marker that says the state will deal in fact, not fiction. A marker that says we are on the right track to restoring sanity and truth.

    These laws certainly need repealing ie Human rights and sex discrimination laws. The process of taking a case to appeal is a punishment and costly. Just look at the hate crime bills in eg Scotland, and how people can be reported for the slightest comment that someone finds offensive. What ordinary person can afford such tribunal cases? Legal aid is not available to most people

    this was excellent, thank you. one thing i wish i'd been there to ask is: the largest group with a trans identity in the UK are the 'non-binaries' and i'm entirely confused as to how someone without a sex/ two sexes can be protected or provided for under the Act? i say this, because you don't hear them whining about this issue much, almost as if they know that their abject nonsense is impossible to legislate...

    One of the things that makes it very difficult to support groups like this is the utterly myopic focus on what is good for women. If it is disastrous and ludicrous for men, well, so what.
    If there were a misogyny law, there would need to be a misandry law also. Of course, misandry our culture is treated very much like racism against white people is (might be a lip-service nod to it once in a blue moon, but it's essentially fine).
    A misogyny law would be weaponised immediately against white men primarily. It would be completely misused, of course, and feminists wouldn't give a damn. The idea that gender critical women would be the primary target of such a law is laughably hyperbolic.
    "Hate" laws in general are a complete disaster, and every last one of them should be repealed immediately.
    I agree with the aims of these women and agree that the GRC etc are a terrible, and very bad joke. I agree that women should have single sex spaces, fair sport, etc.
    Too many feminist type who object to this stuff still buy into the bullshit of our age when it suits them, and that makes them difficult to support.

      @@hooligan9794 there was no support for the misogyny law - I think you have missed the point. These ‘myopic’ women were discussing that laws wrongly applied do the opposite of what is intended. And to illustrate how the GRA bumps up against the EQA to the disadvantage of women lesbians and gay men, primarily. But thanks for watching.

      @fionawhiteford2128 I was listening. Did Helen claim that the law would be primarily used against gender critical women or not?
      I like Helen, but this was either wild hyperbole or, more likely, her not having a clue about how men are treated these days.
      I understand folk like Helen being very angry at the crazy men, often nasty assholes, who parade themselves about in women's clothes like deranged entitled children. How such men are treated is a universe away from how men in general are treated, and a misogyny hate-crime law would be immediately put to use against men. I would not expect any fairness or justice in its application. Just like it is considered not just ok, but progressive, to actually discriminate against white men in most workplaces now.
