Roy doesn't like people believing that. He likes to malign, attack and insult them.
Roy didn't mention that she is entitled to her beliefs, and suffered unlawful discrimination for them.
Everyone is entitled to theri beliefs.
They are not entitled to foment hatred towards proteted minoriy, as you have been doing.
Whether Maya Forstarter did that I don't know. It sounds from the appeal judgement that she didn't, which is why she won the appeal.
You, on the other hand, have been stoirring up hatred since oyu joined the discussion.
You've also been making false allegations against me, using strawman arguments, making ad hominem arguments, repeating endlessly pointlee slogans, posting pictures with the intention of maligning transhgenders and been abusive.
The list below show a few of your abusive posts:
Roy has a weird way of describing the fact that women are female, and men are male, and that sex is real, not an opinion or a whim like "gender."
He thinks that a man can become a woman by saying "I am a woman"
In your opinion.
But
"Sex" is not a label. It is a biological fact.
A male person is not a woman.
And does not become one magically when he says "I am a woman."
Are you falsely claiming Maya did that?
Or I?
You mean like when women like Maya, and Mrs Rowling, are bullied, attacked and intimidated by Transactivists?
Roy attacks, insults and maligns me because of my honestly held beliefs. He falsely claims that I deny the existence of Trans.
Roy attacks, insults and maligns me because of my honestly held beliefs.
Roy attacks, insults and maligns me because of my honestly held beliefs.
I point out that you hold gender essentialist beliefs, which you can not deny.
I would suggest you are a TERF because of your persistent use of slogans and pictures intended to imply that transgenders cannot exist, and they are all rapists and sex abusers.
TERF a person whose views on gender identity are considered hostile to transgender people, or who opposes social and political policies designed to be inclusive of transgender people.
You are undoubtedly hostile to transgenders. You peddle false information about them to foment hatred.
You oppose their integration into society and you want to deny them their legally held rights.
Finally, holding a deeply held belieif is perfectly acceptable, as I've said many times. But when you campaign vigorously for your beliefs to be the dominant culture, you are undoubtedly a TERF, with Gender Essentialist beliefs.
That is not acceptable, nor excusable, and it is not defensible:
A philosophical or religious belief will be protected if it:
- is genuinely held;
- is a belief, not an opinion or viewpoint based on the present state of information available;
- is about a weighty and substantial aspect of human life and behaviour;
- has a certain level of cogency, seriousness, cohesion, and importance; and
- is worthy of respect in a democratic society, is not incompatible with human dignity, and does not conflict with the fundamental rights of others.
Your opinion might be genuinely held, that might be acceptable because you use the term belief.
But it's not a belief, it's an opinion or view, which is not based on current knowledge or information available. I've proven many times that your view is erroneous.
It is about a weighty and substantial aspect of human life and behaviour.
It does not have a serious level of cogency, nor cohesion. There are a myriad of eminent scientists and doctors queueing up to disprove your opinion.
Your opinion is not worthy of respect in a democratice society, it is not compatibel with human dignity and it does conflict with the fundamental rights of others.
Therefore your opinion, no matter how many times it is expressed, is not a protected belief.
And if someone tries to foment hatred towards a minority in society they deserve to be maligned for it.
