I have opened the comment section to all today, including any so-called Trans Rights Activists who think they're going to score any "gotcha" points on me.

If you were on the right side of history, you wouldn't need to constantly tell lies. Or sneer at how people look.

So on what evidence do you base the idea that you're going to get me to admit that trans women are women?

When does the individual’s sex change? Is it the lipstick, skirt, wig, leg shaving, voice coaching, hormone treatments, or vaginoplasty? Is it the mustache, the baggy clothes, the crew cut, the hairy legs, the testosterone-deepened voice, or phalloplasty?

LOL! You're just like the faux-pro lifers who think that "why is a foetus not a baby the day before birth?" is a massive gotcha.

You haven't answered the question but then I didn't seriously expect you would.

Gender identity is innate. Usually, it aligns with a person's hormones, chromosomes, genitals, etc. Where it does not, the person concerned should clearly be allowed to decide what takes precedence. So the answer to the faux-pro lifer's question is "That's the wrong question". Just as you are asking the wrong question. It's not any of the things you listed.

What does it mean to “feel like a woman” or “feel like a man”? Do all men feel the same? Do all women feel the same? If trans women are women and trans men are men, but men and women don’t all feel the same, then what do trans women have in common with women and trans men with men that we should consider them the same sex class?

Can you name one thing about any “gender identity” that is not a performative sexist stereotype? One thing? What else is gender identity made of? Chromosomes? Brainwaves? Atoms? An invisible force? An ineffable essence? A soul? Gremlins? Thetans?

I literally do not know a single person who is 100 percent gender conforming. Are they all trans? Are we all trans? Because if a word describes everything, then it describes nothing.

Hi David!

See below. I note that you don't deny mocking how people look.

Especially if they look like men in dresses who call themselves women and moreover lesbians.

I think even Harry Miller has given up trying to correct this but what Yorkshire & Humberside Police described as a "limerick" was actually the lyrics to a song by Ali Bee:

"you're a man"

So, Ms Vanilla Rose, you admit you're not a scientist or a philosopher or a theologian but you presume to come here and lecture us that gender identity is innate yet you lack all the prerequisites and bona fides to articulate your case.

Exactly why I shouldn't dismiss this as Your Opinion?

I can clearly see you have failed to sway me to your way of thinking. Come on back when you have a more persuasive argument.

LOL! You won't even let people comment on your Staniland article, you're so pissed off at trans people and allies saying people shouldn't be expected to get nude in front of strangers. It really bugs you that real people don't follow the script the terfs have written for you.

Oh, hi David!

LOL! Cunning attempt to get me to tell you my real name foiled. I think I can safely say that, although I rather like the name David, it has never been my name. Or a name I have used.

I've never used a male name for anything. Ever.

Well, that's the name you gave the cops when they arrested you for assault and property theft because they didn't have a Darcy Rohan in their system.

So...hi, David.

Oooh, libel.

But the fun part is where you step out from behind your sockpuppet and sue under your real name.

What a fun way you have of avoiding defending your transphobic nonsense! Make stuff up and pretend that's your "gotcha" moment. For the record, although I've met a couple of unpleasant police officers in my time (most women have), they certainly didn't arrest me.
