kaybaxter.bsky.social @kaybaxter.bsky.social · 25/04/2026By 'she' you mean the transwoman? If so, maybe he was sufficiently blokey that no-one cared. Absolutely arrangements should take account of transwomen's needs but should not include housing them with women who have no option but to be there. 200
kaybaxter.bsky.social @kaybaxter.bsky.social · 25/04/2026One man and one woman who you suspect enjoyed herself. That doesn't translate to every man who calls himself a woman being safe towards imprisoned women. Transwoman in male prison - great! 100

kaybaxter.bsky.social @kaybaxter.bsky.social · 14/03/2026It's unfortunate that many Quakers, in particular Quakers in Britain, believe that some male people can be women and that some female people are no longer women but men. I wonder how Margaret Fell would regard that. 000

Why does one's gender identity mean claiming to be the opposite sex, or no sex at all?

kaybaxter.bsky.social @kaybaxter.bsky.social · 21/12/2025This piece from 2019 is relevant to British Quakers' interest in pronouns. In my view, pronoun use has been made unnecessarily complicated and is similar to the use of titles and 'mannerly behaviour' which were strongly rejected by Quakers. Use Plain Speech. fairplayforwomen.com/pronouns/fairplayforwomen.comPronouns are Rohypnol • Fair Play For WomenThere’s a lot of chat around about pronouns right now.
