The workbook also adds a trans person who has transition from female to male could give birth through a specially constructed penis.

Many woman friends I have are disgusted by the way this propaganda belittles real women by trying to twist the meaning of established language. They are a tiny proportion of the population and I don't think they are helping their case with this crap.

Feminism news website Reduxx revealed teaching materials from Edinburgh Napier University which state the person giving birth may still have "external male genitalia" after transitioning.
The skills workbook on "catherization" informs students the person giving birth may be a male.
The workbook also adds a trans person who has transition from female to male could give birth through a specially constructed penis.

Yep, very small tails wagging huge dogs seems to be the perfectly acceptable (openly object at your own risk) norm these days. Here’s hoping there’s a push-back beginning against this
How must it feel for women, having fought long and hard for their rights/equality, to have been erased from existence to appease a minuscule group of confused/mentally ill bullies and their misguided followers?
We’re expected to blindly accept that a biological male is actually a woman ‘because they say they are’, yet when a biological female (J K Rowling for example) states her (differing, though rather more qualified IMO) definition of what constitutes a Woman, she gets crucified.
Supposedly intelligent (and in many cases powerful/influential) people are paralyzed with fear, when challenged to define ‘a Woman’? some won’t even use the word, how the hell did that happen?
IMO, all this woke PC bullshit is a consequence of a well intended, but now miserably failed, attempt at preventing minorities/the weak from being bullied and prejudiced against. The problem is we’ve gone way beyond equality, and allowed those who would earlier have been bullied, to become the bullies, and what makes things worse is those now doing the bullying have the full backing of the law, and don’t they know it.

At the root of these problems lies a fundamental conflict between LGB rights and trans rights, with the former grounded on a notion of sex and the latter on gender. This is why, to accommodate trans rights, Stonewall has had to redefine what it is to be homosexual (and by extension hetero- and bi-).

So now, in Stonewall’s eyes, a homosexual is not a ‘same-sex attracted person’, but rather someone ‘who has a romantic and/or sexual orientation towards someone of the same gender’.

The substitution of the word ‘sex’ for ‘gender’ is critical here. While in common parlance the two are used interchangeably, they have different meanings. ‘Sex’ refers to the biological reality of being male or female, whereas ‘gender’ is the somewhat spurious idea of an innate sense of knowing oneself to be male or female irrespective of one’s actual genitalia. This has as much scientific validity as white academic Rachel Dolezal’s claim to be black because she feels black.
