This is a very positive action for women that's weakened and ridiculed by including the nonsense of "non-binary".

It's so disappointing to see serious feminist organising taken over by this harmful and idiotic ideology of gender identity, time and time again.

> The mere fact that there is a space exclusive to women ( key word 'safe space') should give a clear indicator, who has super powers in the relationship between the genders.

Yes, it's the sex that has such a high proportion of predatory, dangerous and creepy individuals that the other sex need segregated spaces for their own safety and dignity. Which is also the sex of most of those who are actively trying - and often succeeding - to undermine and eradicate these safe spaces under the guise of so-called "trans rights".

The end goal of these men is that they be permitted, by law and policy, to disregard women's consent and boundaries with impunity. Not only is this wholly unacceptable, but the arguments they are using in pursuit of this goal are ridiculous. So of course comedians are going to ridicule this. I'm glad they're doing so; this misogynist activism needs all the mockery it can get, it's part of the path towards undoing the damage already caused.

Men aren't an especially marginalised and vulnerable group, even when they're attempting to mimic women. In some jurisdictions, they've even passed laws to permit such men to use any women-only space, including where women are particularly vulnerable themselves, e.g. prisons. They're getting special privileges while women are having their rights taken away.

This absurdity of pretending that men who call themselves women are actually women should certainly be open to mockery, as it's so ridiculous - both in itself, and the fact that so many people are entertaining this misogynistic delusion.

Well, at least we have common ground in our opposition to right-wing politics and the behaviour of its acolytes.

I urge you to read, with an open mind, what gender-critical and radical feminist women have to say, both on this issue and more broadly.

It is my hope that you find these female-centred perspectives to be more enlightening than what either of the male-dominated progressive or conservative political blocs exclaim.

You have conflated two groups of people: those with rare disorders of sexual development, and men who demand access to women's and girls' spaces while pretending to be women.

Using the existence of the former group as a rhetorical shield for the intrusive behaviour of the latter isn't at all convincing.

It's quite clear from your comments that you elevate male desires above the dignity and safety of women. I hope you can reflect on your misogyny and perhaps even start to respect women as equals rather than second class citizens to be subjugated to the wants of men.

They are men, whether you like it or not. Men who desire to be women, or who just call themselves women, for whatever reason.

No-one should be compelled to accept a false, reality-denying belief as if it were true. This absurd assertion that some men are women is a particularly pernicious falsehood.

> > namely that a subset of men should be allowed to disregard women's boundaries and consent with impunity

> What?

Men who desire to be women forcing their way into women's and girls' spaces, and who keep advocating for the law to be changed, where it isn't already, so they can keep getting away with this.

> In practice, what happens is that these values are slowly made more acceptable.

> "Protect our women" to make transphobia more acceptable.

This is itself a reaction to unacceptable values being imposed, namely that a subset of men should be allowed to disregard women's boundaries and consent with impunity.

The pushback is because so many women are standing up and saying no, we don't accept this incursion on our rights and dignity.
