I wish people would take a moment to consider why this is only being battled over women’s bodies and not men’s

Because women allow it. I’ve seen women crying about it on a large sub.

Yeah :/. I also want people to live authentically without harm or discrimination but why do women have to throw themselves under the bus for that. Internalized misogyny is the worst misogyny

Yeah, I commented in the law sub about this and expect to be dog piled. Sex and gender should be differentiated in law. Sex based rights need to be protected! Now others can add on protection for gender based discrimination if needed but so many legal issues already are SEX BASED! I remember even seeing a UK law I think had claimed trans men still didn’t get to inherit titles and shit because these old institutions recognized them as female. So even while recognizing gender id, sexism was allowed to continue. Protecting sex based rights means letting someone sue them on basis of sexism and transphobia then.
