The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Thanks to albaby, I'd admit that race dysmorphia is not a thing whereas gender dysmorphia is, so we should acknowledge that a biological man can genuinely claim to be a psychological woman. Call him/her a trans woman.

Why should this trans woman be accepted as a woman (no qualifiers)? Her (see, respectful!) biology is different.
Why should she be allowed to compete with biologically female athletes, be housed with "real" (sorry, sorry, biological) women, be allowed to use the Ladies' restroom?

Yes, I also acknowledge (because I acknowledge reality) that she would very likely be subjected to violence in men's prison (as are biological men, BTW) and somewhat likely in Mens' restroom. Never mind that everyone should be protected by the state against violence, especially the vulnerable like women, children, physically and mentally challenged AND this trans woman. She is not special in that respect. But we will bend over backward, because we are nice heterosexual men and women, and put her in her own prison wing, and let her have her own bathroom (or temporally exclusive use of men's room). Not have her compete with bio women and not call her a woman without qualifiers. No she can't use bio women's facilities like restrooms and gym showers. Fair?
