Ironically, at least in UK, trans rights activists have vigorously rejected a third space option. We probably would have it in place by now if they had been reasonable ten years ago.
Your bete noir, JKR, even offered to help a campaign for third spaces IIRC
Women are insulted by males dressing up as women, often in a gross caricature of femaleness - exaggerated and sexualised. Woman is not a costume, unless it is in entertainment shows when it is for comic effect.
because they are males in DRAG, (dressed as girl). You see them as women. Most people know they are males. They can still exist and live freely as long as they stay out of spaces designated for females. Most places are not: shops, bars, cinemas, public buildings etc so this really should be easy
You're free to do this, as you are free to dress as a minstrel in blackface, but don't expect approval. Both are insulting. If it's for entertainment I am free to not give an audience to it. If it's in female spaces expect pushback.
In this case claimed to be a woman then selected another of like mind as the goalkeeper. In both cases they were presented as women when they are not.
It seems sensible to me to insist that everyone use services according to their sex at birth and if this is impossible for them to do then a third or fourth option should be made available. For example, toilets: Males, Females, Accessible/Disabled, Neutral
We all have sex based rights. In addition trans people have the right not to face discrimination in things like employment, housing, services plus not to be harassed for perceived gender reassignment. In UK law their 'right' to use services for the opposite sex is currently subject to legal action.
Yes, of course. Some women think it's good. Until recently drag in UK was always comedic or adult entertainment (blue and strictly no kids). It was not mainstream except the comedic kind, the drag character was laughed at. Until Ru Paul drag brought it mainstream, normalising sexualised caricatures.
In UK the push back is women standing up for their sex based rights. This may mean going to court. There are cases where women have been 'cancelled' ... Rachel Rooney, Rosie Kay, Maya Forstater, Kathleen Stock. Famously 'For Women Scotland' win against the Scottish government for sex discrimination.
