1. ‘Some women’ are not ‘all
Women’. I don’t know what women you are speaking of and you have no idea about the women I am speaking about…isn’t it better to have a system where your ‘some women’ are free to compete in the unequal battleground.
Example: It is like belonging to a country as a citizen with citizen rights. Those who want to emigrate are free to join any other country they want.
Today women are guests in a world built by men. I am just saying we need a country and passport of our own.
2. I am not ‘blaming anything on male doctors’ as you are suggesting. I am not saying that you are purposely misreading me, but I am afraid there is a communication problem here. English is not my first language and so I will take responsibility for not being clear.
However, claiming that ‘women have a better immune system than men and live longer’ is dismissive. And this is exactly what I mean about the need to separate from men because it is absolutely unacceptable.
[..] "Gender influences that way that people are treated and diagnosed in health systems," Annandale said. "It influences the kind of health conditions that men and women suffer from, the way people relate to their own bodies, and what kind of access to health care they have."
Understanding gender differences in health can help scientists and doctors find ways to better treat patients, she said.
"Women generally live longer than men, but in many countries that gap in life expectancy has been decreasing over time. One of the reasons for that is thought to be that men's health is improving, but women's is not."

3. Yes, they are ‘bizarre neologisms..used by a tiny group of people’.. but..BUT..how many are actually talking about it? It is once again dismissed as ‘bizarre’ and those who protest it are either being cancelled or called TERFs.
There is a clear line in the sand and it is always men on the other side throwing sand on our eyes. We have no support.
If I posted a poll here on HN about definition of Woman, I will be flagged and possibly banned.
I have seen posts here about HNers expressing how lonely they are or how to deal with isolation or mental health. But this isn’t a community where I can express my dejection over my experience and feelings as a woman. You dismissed my lived experience as ‘bizarre’ and ‘deranged’.
I am not saying this as an accusation but just that it reminds me of other experiences with most men. perhaps you are a woman or transgender or non binary..I have no way of knowing and so I am not going to assume that you are male. There is just low relatability that we might as well be ‘different species’.
4. I am a little offended that you consider that my speech would be considered ‘hate speech’. Perhaps on the internet because there is no free speech on the internet.
People are afraid of being accused of ‘hate speech’ that even normal conversation is being stifled. And this is about a subject that affects me as a woman.
I am sure there are men here who have daughters. Husbands who have wives who agree with me. Men with female friends. But I am also pretty positive that they will remain silent. Because this is radioactive. But if we don’t assess the radioactivity of a site and discuss further action, it will affect everyone in time. That is the tragedy of being silent due to cancel culture. There are no winners.
How can a woman fighting and claiming her identity be tagged with ‘hate speech’? This is our VERY IDENTITY that is being erased and stripped away from us.
I am not trying to be dramatic here..but as I am typing this, I have a lump in my throat and I don’t know if I am at the cusp of rage..or tears.
This is absolutely unfair what is happening in the world. It is unfair for girls, women and all the unborn girl children. I am not sure I can continue. I am done here.
Thanks for engaging.
