Another infuriating and sad entry into the VAWG list
I posted this on the Injustices against Women thread yesterday as it was obvious from the preliminary reports that this was yet another case of a vile inadequate man committing horrific acts because a woman wasn’t playing his games.
This is graphic

It really needs to go back to being just LGB. As we’ve said lots on these threads , trans isn’t a sexuality and I hate how trans has been lumped in with lesbians , gay men and bisexuals.
I had a coil fitted with no pain medication and 10 years later had it removed. A nurse in my GP surgery tried to remove it when I asked and I was in so much pain she gave up and referred me to a clinic to get it out. The clinic did manage to remove it and they did a better job than the previous attempt at the GP surgery but at no time was offered anything for the pain.
I refuse to have smears done in the UK. The experiences were that bad, difference of night and day to the other countries I had them in. After 3 times, never ever will I have a smear done by a general nurse at a GP practice again. It isn't general practice and other countries don't treat it as such.
Yes I had some bad experiences with smears too, some were really painful and others not too bad. It seems to depend on who is doing it. I used to dread it, but thankfully I've now reached the age where they don't think you need them anymore.
I made a decision years ago I was not going to have any more smears - they are always embarrassing, at best they are uncomfortable and at worst they are actually painful.
The worst experience I've had was vaginal stump cauterisation. Jebus, that hurt. It was only 2 seconds but I was still recovering from a hysterectomy so quite sensitive to pain.
I think some HCPs just don't want to bother waiting for pain relief to start working, just get it over with and who cares, it's not them feeling it.

I won’t go for smears anymore either. They are agony every time (I have scar tissue from a birth injury). I had an epiphany after the last one when I asked myself, why am I putting myself through this only to be told that I’m HPV negative? I know I am HPV negative and that is unlikely to change. Until they introduce a self-swab test, I’m done.
That's such a shame, and so unacceptable.
I've been fortunate, I'm 40 so I've had a few smears, a couple of colposcopies and they've all been painless with very good practitioners who made the experience as pleasant as it could be.
That said, when done in a small GP surgery they often have the bed next to a wall, which means you can't spread one of your knees, which then makes it uncomfortable. It's little things like that that are so easily avoided and the bare minimum to have the facilities to actually enable it to be done properly.
A coil fitting makes a smear test seem painless, and I have a reasonably high pain tolerance.
But its not a fetish
“Why are we seeing these things so differently!”
Because you’re a man, you bleeping imbecile, and the simple act of putting on a dress and a wig doesn’t make you vulnerable in the same way that women are vulnerable.
Cosplaying a male-gaze version of “femininity” carries none of the real-world consequences of actually being female.
Yep, the biggest indicator that nobody actually thinks TWAW is that if they did, they'd treat them how they treat women and we'd never have got this far down the track. They'd have been dismissed out of hand.
I'll have told this tale here before but... I once went to book parents evening on the electronic system to discover there was no pupil with my daughter's name. They'd changed it without bleeping telling me. They were left under no illusions that from that point on they were to refer to her by her name on anything official and in any contact with us.
Giving your school the benefit of the doubt, could it be that their report template just refers to all kids as they/them? Means they don't have to make sure they're using the "correct" pronoun for each kid (especially as some of them might change them regularly)
ETA: I can see everyone else has made this point before me. This is what happens when I take a couple of days off and have to catch up.
Legal bleeping gaslighting. As if being 14 and being grape isn't traumatic enough the poor girl then has to listen to the fact that it's a woman that did it to her. bleeping despicable.
