Perhaps you should learn the meaning of term Leftist instead of trying to use it as a universal slur.
From the Miriam-Webster dictionary:

Leftism

Definition of leftism

1 : the principles and views of the left; also : the movement embodying these principles
2 : advocacy of or adherence to the doctrines of the left
— leftist play \ˈlef-tist\ noun or adjective


https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/leftism

Nine out of ten people understand this principle and how it applies in modern times. One out of ten will use at as an argument in semantics intended to obfuscate from the topic on hand.

I think we know what group you fall into.

He can just say he identifies as a woman who is a lesbian, so his aroused state is totally natural and therefore must be respected.

This week, a spokesman for the City of London Corporation which manages the lake, confirmed....that men transitioning to women will be allowed to use the pond and the female changing rooms.

Ms. Roberts, who has been swimming in the open-air waters for 32 years, said: ‘I and many others are threatened by having to have essentially “cross dressers” come to the pond and openly use our private space. ‘Can men not allow women to have any private space?'

aren't these "men" authentic women, ms. Roberts, if they say they are?



women athletes are required to compete against biological men who identify as women. women bathers must allow men who self-identify as women in their dressing rooms.

women will soon have no private spaces, but that is what the Leftists wanted, including the leftist women. suck it up and shut up, women.
All you are proving with this post is that you are more bigoted than the women quoted in the article at the link.

Live and let live. Stay out of other people's private business and you'll have a much happier life.

Exactly.

Why are you pointing to Ms. Roberts, in the article. She, more than likely, doesn't believe in "transgender" and now she's pissed. But, heck, maybe Ms. Roberts is a leftist?

according to page six, NBC has banned men and women sharing taxis home from work because of sexual harassment, but the left demands women accept naked, or clothed, men in our dressing rooms?

can someone explain the leftist's logic to me?

few things would be more sexually harassing to me than expecting me to happily undress in front of a biological male stranger in a dressing room....especially if it was just the two of us alone in that dressing room.

First of all, leftists thought men (or people in general) can choose whatever gender they identify with, and allowed them in women's bathrooms. Now they want to let men into women's only places.

i will go you one further, the progressives want to end mens clubs, womens clubs, etc. and make everyone equal in the eyes of the law, and then turn around and want to divide countries into left and right wing factions.

so progressives, what is it that you really want? inclusion or division?

If caught in this state in a bathroom with little girls, not much respect there.

....... that is what the Leftists wanted ........

If a person is transitioning that means they have started but not completed the transition yet. Therefore the transitioning person should not be permitted to use either female or male facilities. They need to make other temporary arrangements for themselves that does not involve other people. That temporary self-exclusion is one of the sacrifices they need to make if they choose to change themselves. Once they have fully completed their physical transition then it's okay for them to use the facilities of the gender they have transitioned to. Nobody else will be any the wiser and should have nothing to complain about.

Likewise with people who claim that they self-identify with an opposite gender but haven't taken steps to make the transition. Simply identifying with something doesn't make it real, it's just a fantasy. They need to fully make the physical transition first before they can participate in events or in activities or at places that are for the gender that they identify with.

Personally I think it's a lame excuse for people to use the left or the right to pass the buck to. Both left and right should be responsible for setting proper guidelines for all the special people with special needs for recognition. Special people fall into all categories of left, right and everywhere else in between. So quit trying to pass the buck.
