I understand what you're saying and I actually went through my post changing 'he' and 'his' not knowing what to do
it's such a delicate, touchy subject. If I'd have left it, no doubt someone else would have jumped on me. I didn't know what to do but I certainly didn't set out to rattle anyone's cage.
You're asking people to try and understand and comprehend something that, unless we've experienced ourselves, we simply never will. I've never had a psychotic episode so I can't fully comprehend how that feels. I've never wanted to hunt and kill an animal so cannot wrap my head around why people do that.
Further, I don't feel offended nor threatened by trans people. I've not spent enough time researching it to really form an opinion or to know what I'm talking about. I do however understand why some women don't like it.
What I am offended by, however, is you being rude to me. Suggesting I tell women to 'go fuck themselves'. I assume you're a woman? Your comment alone goes against women's solidarity. Surely this is what Dylan threatens? Please don't be nasty to me again. There was no reason to jump on me in that manner.
I have bigger boobs and buy sports bras. I want to see models on the bigger side wearing these bras to give me confidence they will fit well and do the job. They say representation matters. And it does. So show the women who need the sports bras - women with actual boobs!! It’s not that hard. Even real women with very small boobs I don’t think need a sports bra (I have a couple of flat chested friends who have told me they are glad they don’t need one as they’re expensive). So who is Dylan representing here? Absolutely no one!
thing is undoing years of safeguarding training. It’s telling young girls not to tell a grown up if someone flashes their penis cos they’ll think ‘but maybe he’s a girl’. It’s chipping away at the internal alarm system all women have when it comes to predatory men. Whether this was Dylan’s intention is not the point. What he is doing is dangerous. Not to mention regressive, as he is going back to a very sexist time when women were portrayed as mindless bimbos and he’s doing it for FUN and GIGGLES. Never mind all the years the women before us had to graft to be taken seriously, fight for equal pay, for basic respect. None of that matters when you’re Dylan because he just loves pretending he’s a little girl and totally helpless and vapid. And morons and impressionable teens are lapping it up. They have no choice really, because to criticise him is to make yourself a TERF, which only cranky old women are, and that’s social suicide for a young woman!
and keep fucking off
I can just hear the outrage now.
