Men who identify as women may fill the 14.29% Bangladeshi parliament seats reserved for women

The Bangladesh parliament is comprised of 350 seats. Of these seats, 50 have been reserved for women since 2010, in an attempt to increase the representation of women in politics. In December 2018, Bangladesh’s parliament saw the highest number of women to be directly elected to the Lower House – though skepticism remained about the level of influence female members of parliament would actually have in a nation with staunchly patriarchal values. Less than two months after an election result that women greeted with cautious optimism, it has been announced that biologically male transgender-identified people will be permitted to take seats allotted to women.

Women warned you: Yaniv’s human rights case is the inevitable result of gender identity ideology

Women warned the media, politicians, activists, and the public about the repercussions of gender identity ideology and legislation, and now that those repercussions are being played out in real time, those warned remain silent. Oddly, the entire queer movement, the left, and all of mainstream media have been politely ignoring the absolute shit show that has been taking place at the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal this month. Oddly, journalists covering the queer beat have declined to do their jobs, despite the fact that these hearings are only taking place because of the strides the queer movement has made in its fight to make gender identity ideology law. Oddly, those who are incredibly concerned about “despicable” women who dare discuss the implications of allowing men to self-identify as women have not managed to find time to comment on an individual who filed human rights complaints against 16 women for refusing to wax his genitalia, claiming this constitutes discrimination based on

We Need Sex-Segregated Toilets to Ensure Safety of Women and Girls

Gender-neutral toilets threaten the security of women and girls, and self-ID disregards women’s need for female-only spaces. Gender-neutral toilets are a good thing. That’s only if you are rich, white and Western. If you are African, Asian, or Latin-American, sex-segregated toilets are a good thing. Nothing exposes the hypocrisy of the trans debate more than the issue of toilets. If we listen to many Western leaders, politicians and human rights activists, it is good practice, and in line with international standards of human rights, to get rid of sex-segregated toilets and allow individuals to self-ID in their toilet choice. So a boy or a man who identifies as a girl or a woman, even without any medical, or other, intervention or modification, can, and indeed must be able to, use female toilets.
