What you mean your finely worded question is how do men get what they want without women complaining about losing their rights? Who else gained their rights social rights at the cost of someone else losing theirs? Who lost their rights when women got the right to vote? A right withheld by … men.

Amnesty have had to backtrack re: FiLiA previously. At the #FiLiA2021 #Portsmouth venue, women & their children were greeted by sexually abusive signs held by protestors claiming, in part, to represent @amnestyuk.bsky.social
Correct. But if it were accurate, Amnesty could have supplied evidence. They supplied none. So....
These are both examples of the social salience accorded to sex and the dominance of the male perspective. Men are NOT women, but men who say they’re are are believed over the women who say they’re not Women ARE people but men who say they’re not are believed over the women who say we are.
I saw a notification of a reply but the person has blocked me so I can't see their post. They took issue with my language, claiming that saying "Men who say they are women" is like saying "women who say they are people". I'd appreciate a s/s if anyone can find it.
Why do people ask this? Yes, I have met “trans” people. Ask me how I know. Go on.

Here is a list of the organisations Amnesty has branded as dangerous and "anti-rights". In fact it's a list of mostly grassroots organisations advocating for women's rights. By calling them "anti-rights" Amnesty now makes it clear that they believe women deserve no rights of their own.

HEPI polled over 1,000 students. Only 31% think men who identify as women should use women’s changing rooms. 55% said no. Turns out the loudest voices in the student union don’t speak for most students. Self-ID was never a majority position.

Hugely significant and a judgment some people who don’t understand that women also have Article 2, 3 and 8 rights could do with reading.

When feminists talk about a woman's right to decide what does and does not enter her own body, or who does or does not get to enter female-only spaces, we are not indulging in some paranoid right-wing fantasy of total repulsion of the Other. We're just saying women are subjects, too.
Feminists have pointed out that patriarchy is obsessed with borders: maintaining those of men by transgressing those of women.

How can you say women's rights are not in conflict with trans rights when most women want single-sex spaces based on sex and you want to allow males into those spaces who say they have a trans identity? Are you just pretending not to see conflict or ignoring women? liberalvoices.org/thought-term...

women cannot spend their lives being blamed for the fact that the fantasies men have built around us turn out not to be true
According to research cited by Rape Crisis, 97% of UK women think survivors should have access to female-only victim support services. 90% of rape victims are female & the overwhelming majority of attackers are male. You may be one of the 3% but it's extreme & misogynist to ban female-only options.
