Well they are on some breastfeeding support groups so I don't see why they would see menopause as off-limitsI can easily imagine a situation in which trans women would muscle in on a menopause group claiming that because they had never had periods they could somehow understand
Yeah, like that’s the same. By that token they should allow little girls who haven’t started their periods yet in aswell. Worlds gone mad.I can easily imagine a situation in which trans women would muscle in on a menopause group claiming that because they had never had periods they could somehow understand
accessorising being that well known feature of dealing with the menopauseSomeone who runs a menopause group said that not only are transwomen welcome they are also cherished. And that women have learned so much from them and their 'world class ability to accessorise'
Makes me feel ill. I felt vulnerable enough going to a bf group when I had my baby, never mind someone there just for voyeurism. I’d have run a mile. Well done to those trans women that would invade this space, you are risking putting mums off who desperately need support!Well they are on some breastfeeding support groups so I don't see why they would see menopause as off-limits

I see transgender Meat Loaf is there again. For someone who is ‘disabled’ they do really well to be able to travel round the country shouting at women.
Yes, really good point. No sane person would want to join a group that isn't for them.Most people also wouldn't want to be the person who does this, because most of us know we don't have something to offer every single group and therefore it's inappropriate for us to be there. That's something I really can't wrap my head around, in the example from Reddit - what did that 30 odd man think he could offer a group for female rape survivors? How does it not cross your mind that you don't have any role of any value whatsoever in attending a group like that? And, the part that makes me suspicious - given he can't relate to those experiences, what is it, exactly, that he is getting out of attending that group? That's where it gets sinister for me. Transwomen wanting to go to groups for rape survivors, mothers, breastfeeders, whatever...it's creepy.
Yes, the purpose of your work's session is clearly different. My husband has had training on managing staff who are menopausal. It's a good thing. He got lots of out of it, because his mother (like many women of her generation) never mentioned it in front of him and the only info he had was from popular culture (i.e. wrong). It's important for anyone to understand that 'women of a certain age' may need to have certain accommodations made for them, i.e. working from home, more flexible work hours, changing desks so they are closer to a window, etc.I think if it’s specifically a menopause ‘support’ group it would be odd for a person not going through it to want to be there. It’s a very personal experience and not one everyone would be comfortable chatting about with people who aren’t going through it. Maybe a trans man who still has their female organs might still go through menopause so I would imagine would be welcome, as long as they realise that the women there won’t change their language to erase the word ‘woman’ when talking about it.
What my work have been doing are menopause awareness sessions because we have a high number of women of menopausal age on our staff. Men are encouraged to go as it’s to educate those not going through it what it’s like. Trans people could go to that if they really wanted to.

I agree. The TRAs have actually made me less welcoming of post ops and more questioning. It never occurred to me that they grew up as boys and were men with all that entailed. The one at work who no one likes except the woke pronoun people said to someone " when I was a little girl" but he was never a little girl, I was but I say when I was little.I would be OK with a post-op M to F using women's spaces as I would see little threat (that might not be true of course) but I still don't see them as women and never will. They have had testosterone in their body for years, have grown up in a patriarchal society as male and reaped those benefits. Not to downgrade women to a list of complaints and causes but how would they join in in a conversation about periods, sexism, menopause, work life balance, caring for kids alongside elderly parents, etc. They just don't have the same lived experiences as women.
“When I was a little girl”I agree. The TRAs have actually made me less welcoming of post ops and more questioning.

People don't like him because he is a nasty piece of work who grassed up 2 of his team and makes passive aggressive digs all day.
I was thinking it’s something more perverse than that especially in the context of rape/assault experiences, but even with breastfeeding etcI think the main reason transwomen go to these groups is for control and intimidation. What else could they possibly be getting out of it?
Yeah very true. So many sick minded individuals out there.I was thinking it’s something more perverse than that especially in the context of rape/assault experiences, but even with breastfeeding etc
