Why bother transing the recent dead when you can trans people who've been dead for 5000 years?

What a load of claptrap, no body was found which can have only been either male or female, although having said that these idiots probably believe your bones magically change into the trans flag colours.

That doesn't bode well for me then. I've got breasts, a tina (which pushed a baby out once), a girls' name, a (definitely male) husband and everyone knows that I'm a woman. I wear trousers everyday.
Do I need my gender to be reassigned? 🙄
Robot voice: Confusion... pronouns unknown, tina-ownership not relevant, response therefore unverified

I just feel like I’m being constantly gaslit. I entered a writing contest run by a literary journal, and followed the journal on Instagram for updates. They posted a photo of one of the judges - Garielle Lutz. “That’s a bloke”, I thought. Did some Googling. Of course it’s a bloke. Gary Lutz, who until recently was a vaguely successful “cult” short story writer. Just like for Ellen Page, the internet has done a sterling job of rewriting history, referring to “her” work when discussing books Lutz wrote when Lutz was Gary not Garielle.

So sinister.

And they choose to do this after this story the other year



duck those people that rent wombs!!!

Sounds like some might be stranded now - my thoughts with the poor women carrying the babies

This surrogacy story has utterly horrified me. I can’t stop thinking about the poor mother, probably still lactating and left in a war zone.

Times article about the SNT drag. Certainly Ant and Dec weren't bothered by the complaints as they had the guest announcer this week announce them as 'some people call him Lady Antoinette thats Ant Mcpartlin and his friends call him Miss Donna Lee thats Declan Donnelly.

In case people are interested - there's a Polish radfem crowdfunding and helping Ukrainians get across the border

Ugh just watching a programme on E4 when an advert for Teen First Dates comes on.
The girl is in the bathroom standing in front of the sinks ringing her friend saying she's not attracted to her date when all of sudden the camera angle changes and you can see the boy heading into the bathroom. Cue surprised girl and boy awkwardly saying hi as he goes in a cubicle.

I read an article about a campaign against "period poverty" that was promoted with an award-winning video designed by an advertising agency depicting girls and women in frustrating situations where they cannot afford sanitary products or are otherwise made fun of, inconvenienced, etc for having periods. Some scenes show a transman in a men's toilet where she tries to cover the sound of herself unwrapping pads and later getting funny looks from the actual men in the room ... what do you expect? That in itself isn't unfair, it's just proof that she isn't a man

As a mature adult I find it quite easy to ignore anyone else in a public toilet (trans or not) and I don't worry what anyone else thinks about me.

Teenagers on the other hand are very easily embarrassed and all are desperate for acceptance. Having mixed toilets is going to be far more problematic for young people than it is for older people. Girls will find it embarrassing to be found using the tampon machine if a boy walks in. It's also true that girls will gossip together in a toilet space (I remember doing that at school) and now that space has been taken away from them.

Thats what she's doing telling her friend on the phone all about the date and that there was no attraction when the boy she's on the date with walks in.

I notice the What’s On Stage awards now have "best male-identifying/female-identifying" categories instead of male or female. Although they at least don't lump in "non-binary" with female

I hate this. I commented on an Instagram page where they had a competition calling for those who identify as female and marginalised genders and said I don’t identify as a female, I just am one. And got a few loonies replying. I didn’t spend much time debating with them as life is too short to try and argue reality with random internet loonballs.

I hate that the media will shout loudly about the rare 'success stories' but fail to mention the 99.9% of people who won't make a living from it, and could be haunted for years by pictures and videos that they legally signed the rights away to the moment they were posted. All it does is convince other young women to go the same route, as though the virtual streets are paved with gold.

I also hope she's saving some/most of the money she's making. She's an attractive woman but she's 25, in a few years she could easily find herself on the scrapheap because of her age.



I'm also eye-rolling at her 'support your local sex worker' shirt she wears in one of the clips. She's making tens of thousands a month, flying all over the world and is her own boss - her life is not remotely comparable to the average sex-worker.
