Gender Discussion #109

[Funny_bunny]

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.

It just shows how utterly misogynistic the whole gender identity movement is. It’s more important to lie in a court of law to protect the feelings of a male rapist than it is to tell the truth. Even if I had an ounce of sympathy for TIM, and I absolutely don’t, these sick, abusive violent men are not living as their preferred “gender” they are living as men with a dangerous, repulsive fetish.

But its not a fetish

This is another one. They are absolutely morally repulsive, sick, disgusting individuals. I know the TRA would be calling me a transphobe. Well, isn’t a phobia an irrational fear or dislike of something? As far as I’m concerned, there is every reason to fear these transgender men. They inflict their fetishes on society and clearly despise real women. They are aroused by the thoughts of being humiliated and abused as that’s what they think being a woman is all about. Repulsive.

I’m phobic of spiders who are generally blameless natural creatures, they bring out a visceral fear in me. Why on earth wouldn’t I be phobic of repellant, stinking, perverted fetishists who wish violence on me and my daughters. It’s the most logical phobia on earth.

Totally agree. This sounds stupid but sometimes I even find still pictures unsettling. There’s something about the male gaze when it’s in a “female” face - men all made up to look like a woman. I don’t know if it’s because men don’t know how to soften their eyes when looking at the camera or they want to look threatening but some of them look just really intimidating in an otherwise normal photo. Like they’d start on you for just looking at them. And I think well yes of course I’m scared of you! And wouldn’t want to encounter you in a toilet or when I’m half naked in a changing room.

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.

I work in a school and it's very common for teachers to cut and paste (or use AI) when writing the reports....not passing judgement as I know how hard they work and how long they have to spend on admin tasks like this.
Using they/them just makes it easier for the teachers, and they will use auto-replace to insert the student's name into the text. In most cases it's for convenience rather than due to gender ideology.

I cannot bear men dressed up as women, irrespective of why. Even in harmless comedy settings, it’s just not my sense of humour at all.
As for finding the photos unsettling, I get it. I see an almost challenging expression, they know they’re causing discomfort and are enjoying it.
I also think there’s an element of the female brain to be hard wired to pick up on that feeling of unease for survival purposes. The fact the TRA are trying to get women to ignore their instincts for the sake of being kind is IMO dangerous.

Met Police have paid Graham Linehan £25k in compensation for their treatment of him.

I’m so ready for all this crap to be in the rear view mirror. Every time I start to get my hopes up that it’s on the decline, I see something horrifying that shows just how far we still have to go. Be honest everyone, do you really think it will come to an end? Governments and institutions that have been so captured aren’t likely to ever fully recant and apologise for their gullibility. Will it just kind of fade away and in ten years we will say, “Remember when they used to allow men into women’s sports and prisons and bathrooms?”

I found this thread thinking it was a safe space for trans persons. Guess not

 

[BlairWaldorf86]

There are no “safe spaces” on the internet

 

[nothanksbabes]

You're quite safe. It's an Internet forum, not North Sentinel Island.

You're welcome to stay and discuss why we have the opinions we do, we've had many come through and end up changing their minds.
If you don't feel comfortable here that's also fine, I think there might be a thread somewhere for trans and trans adjacent posters but I have no idea what it's called.

Good. The fact that someone can be arrested by armed police at an airport because someone complained about tweets not even directed at them demonstrates that the most vulnerable community on earth aren't that vulnerable, are they? Having the police on speed dial over a tweet not aimed at them suggesting (rightly) that a group they profess to be part of is misogynist and homophobic .

I can’t find a thread for trans people, maybe I wasn't looking properly.
Doesn’t matter. I have other spaces to talk about my identity. I just got excited for a second and then realised the thread is not what I thought it was lol

Gender discussion thread # 1 began in 2020. It's taken five years to find us?

Spoiler: Poster

Posts written by Michi on other threads...has "a husband and children and is a practicing muslim" yet is giving the impression of being trans?. Is it strange that as a VIP member and five years of posting she/they(?) have "just found" this thread.

I know exactly what you mean mate. I can’t tell you the times I’ve accidentally stumbled into a pro trans forum, started posting & then thought ‘hang on a minute…’

I personally want safe spaces for biological women like myself, adult human females, not 'assigned female at birth' but biological women. These safe spaces are consistently being eroded by an ideology that has been hijacked by a bunch of fetishists who get aroused by their idea of 'womanhood' being nylon wigs, lippie and fake bits. If that offends, I do not care. Sick of this tit. Genuine gender dysphoria is extremely rare and has been gaslit and exploited to further a heinous political agenda. The world and his wife, er, sorry, person with a cervix, needs to wake up.

Spoiler: Also

If I remember correctly, wrote the husband is sub-Saharan African and made her do the abhorrent, physically abusive and misogynistic, but men derive pleasure from it so it's all good 'traditional' vaginal steaming?

Unless she's actually bi/les, but obviously that's not allowed in Islam whereas trans is?

What can I say, ladies. I'm Canadian by birth and everyone knows we are an excruciatingly polite bunch, hence the mess that Canada is in right now.
I also took a Valium earlier so am a bit of a mellow she-bear instead of my usual harpy self.
