There is a thread running through the discussions on transwomen in female-only spaces: it is biological women who are expected, as always, to "accommodate" biological men. Women athletes are expected to "support" transwomen competing against them, we are expected to "welcome" transwomen in our washrooms, rape crisis centres and even domestic abuse shelters. And women in prison, who as the whistle-blower rightly points out, have zero recourse - they cannot leave. Anyone still wondering how Trump won the election?

Women being required to accommodate men is a tale as old as time. You’d think society would run out of ideas for ways to put the needs and desires of men above than the needs and desires of women, wouldn’t you?

So one reason Trump won is because he wants to protect females?

Bear in mind, I am Canadian and watching this play out across the border, but the conversation is the same in Canada, and we are on track to elect Trump lite. Am I happy about that? Not at all. But the sense I have is that the Democrats and Canada's Liberal Party are not listening and are centering policy of all kinds on gender identity. Big mistake, as probably 70% to 80% of the electorate disagrees with that approach.

Same in Australia. Next year I'll be switching parties purely on Self ID etc.

And no, Trump does not want to protect women. He wants to subjugate them.

He has picked women to hold important positions in his administration. That is not subjugation.

He's the boss of them, right? Yes. That's subjugation.

Subjugate means to conquer or subdue. Appointing someone to a leadership position does not do either of these.

Your being facetious.
