I wonder....when this completely fails to collapse society, will the TERFs attempt even the tiniest introspection?

Naaah, they'll just scream twice as hard over the next attempt to make marginalised peoples' lives easier. Saw an Irish TERF whining in the replies to Holyrood's announcement, completely ignoring the part where Ireland's had this for years and has bugger-all harm to show for it.

Don’t worry, Westminster may be coming to their rescue and challenging it in the courts. Just like when Scotland tried to put the rights of the child as outlined by the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.

My dad tried to have a conversation about this with me but for some forsaken reason decided to open with 'some people have 'reasonable' arguments against it but are being called transphobic anyway.'

Yes. That's because they're arguing in favor of restricting people's access to resources and respect, based on unsubstantiated fearmongering. Their intentions might not be bigoted, but the result they're pushing for is.

Besides, it doesn't matter how well reasoned your argument is if you're starting from a point that you pulled out your ass and have no evidence for.

And what are these arguments?
"Men will hurt women."
I agree: put all men in jail. They're provably dangerous, look at crime statistics. Start with him, I'm sure he'll agree with this 'reasonable' argument.
