Don't laugh, boy......  you'll be for the high jump again pretty soon at this rate..... you're the class idiot... at least Lefty is worth taking the piss out of.... you - well.... let's just say best not noticed.  Stick with what you know - like Smith you do that well - leave the rest to the adults.

Uh oh - this will sort out who is who, no? Or is it transphobic even to ask the question?

Sooooo..... will non-menstruating "trans women are women"  (ie blokes) be discriminated against in favour of trans-exclusionary feminist (ie real) women? Two classes of women?

And if you are a trans man still menstruating (ie a woman) will you treated differently to other, non-menstruating(ie real) men. Two classes of men?

What will such discrimination and separate treatment will do to the acceptance on equal terms of trans class of  women and men?  ( ie how far can this absurdity be stretched before it collapses into a self-contradictory heap of absurdities?)

They do seem to have that issue, don't they.

Even when it's been spelled out for them.

Let's just face it, kids - I've had years of experience and loads of hands-on experience..... women are women and artificial creations are not.  Known some beautiful women in many ways and no artificial construct could possibly compete.

Just leave it as 'women' and 'artificial women' - take your own choice and I don't GAF, but I know which, as a man, I prefer.

OK?

First time in my life I've agreed with Germaine Greer..... Jesus....

So if a bloke identifies as a woman then he is a woman exactly like your mum  is a woman - gender.
That he can't menstruate because he is not a woman like your mum but a bloke play-acting as if he was a woman - sex.

Or is it the other way around?
