You're absolutely right trisher, I would wish no harm to any one going through the physical, mental and emotional torture of transitioning from, or to, either sex. But I am, first and foremost, a grandmother to granddaughters, and a feminist and the rights to safety and protection for all women is my paramount concern. I vehemently feel that women have been expected to accommodate, acquiesce and compromise, for far too long, where their safety is at risk. And the risks have been, and continue to be, from men.
This discussion originally began about the ommision of the word women from feminine hygiene products and has morphed into transgender issues!
I genuinely appreciate having had this discussion with you trisher, you're a poster that, whilst I don't always agree with you, I very much respect you because your posts are well resesrched and well balanced and you never sink to name calling or cheap sideways jibes to get your opinions and views across.
