Donald I, emperor of the world.

...when they have much more important things to focus on.

You do realise they will hang you for that one?

Well that's the depressing state of US politics of course. But again it's expecting women to take one for the team [1]. And if they do vote Democrat just to remove Trump, some of you guys will say 'US women must agree with men in women's prisons etc or they wouldn't have voted for more of the same[2]'. Again, thanks for a sensible response that didn't involve giving yourself an aneurysm as you typed.

How bizarre. This is almost like the top item on the Green party annual conference in 2010 being... civil partnerships.
1. Trump (it's been posted before), is hardly a bastion for women's rights.
The Democrats have twice put a woman as nominee for presidential elections.

2. First of all, that's a presumption and secondly, if there is a need and if those who pose a threat, those 'men' in women's prisons are kept apart from the other inmates, then i'm fine with it.
Boot on the other foot: A person, who wants to identify themselves as a man but is physiologically a woman, is one hell of a liability on a male prison and would probably be vulnerable to all manner of abuse both physical and psychological.

So how about a common sense approach to assignation rather than your heady mix of presumption and skewed politics?

If this ever gets to court (I suspect it won't), Trump is going to be the BBC's best witness.

I genuinely don't know at this point if he knows he's making stuff up... this is so specific and so disprovable, I suspect he doesn't.. his cabbage brain is just creating a narrative that makes him out to be the wronged hero.

No he isn't but the Democrats aren't either.
And the Tories have had 4 female leaders and 3 female prime ministers so I'm not sure what your point is.

They aren't. The fact that you don't know that they aren't - and that in fact in the US males in women's prisons have sexually assaulted their woman cellmates shows that you aren't up to speed on these issues at all.

Funnily enough the number of trans id'ed women asking to be placed in men's jails is practically zero, whereas quite a lot of the trans identifying men wish to transfer (and do in the US). Who'd be doing that abuse? Men - the kind of men who are being put in women's prisons in shared cells.

So how about a common sense approach to assignation rather than your heady mix of presumption and skewed politics?

A common sense approach would be to maintain single sex spaces for women and men but advocate for additional 3rd mixed sex spaces for those who aren't happy in their sex designated space or who don't mind sharing.

I think you will find this is totally unacceptable to trans activists. It really is 100% access to all women's spaces, all the time, and nothing less.

Anyway, I think this is better left for the gender thread if anybody wants to continue it over there. It's been a nice digression to actually talk about US party politics though not just big shoes or wallpaper.

I wonder why Republicans don't like the Voting Rights Act... hmm, let me see...
