Just to add my two pennies worth... don't wash your hands of her, as this will just affirm the belief that as her parent, you don't care or understand her, whereas her new found 'family' of allies 'will'.

I agree with this ; take a breather for yourself & put her to one side - for now - at arms distance. Maintain your relationship like that if you can .....and play the long game. Her cronies will get tired of it eventually and so will she. It's very tiring living like that, enrlraged at everything.....
You will be there when she needs you , and it will come.
You can then be proven right without saying anything, you know? It WILL end . It will. xxx

bleeping delusional and dangerous. If he has something like a GI torsion or obstruction it's a medical emergency, and him wasting time blaming him something that is literally impossible is beyond stupid.

Imagine being a doctor and trying to treat someone who is actively lying to your face about serious symptoms.

Meanwhile women are disbelieced and gaslit and dismissed by the medical establishment whatever we do.

But lets take them at face value, if what appears to be a large proportion of trans women are having severe monthly stomach cramps, isn't that a major red flag that this medication is doing serious harm? I've never heard of post menopausal women on HRT having monthly period cramps

Similar to their apparent massive loss in strength, dropping shoe sizes or height which would mean bone loss etc.

These are fairly massive side effects if they are happening on the scale we are meant to believe

Can I just thank you all on this thread. You’re all truly intelligent, kind, empathetic and sane women and men. I don’t know what I would have done without this thread the last few years. You ARE my therapy! X
Everyone has already given great advice. I’d just add that a distant relative of mine became rabidly anti vax and disowned her Mum. A slightly similar situation. With hindsight, I can see some things went well and done less so. The Mum was advised to not take it personally and to send a calm, sensible letter laying out her views and her love for her daughter then not getting involved and keeping the relationship slightly at arm’s length. She came around in the end but I think the Mum ruined things by going on about wanting an apology for her daughter’s behaviour.

I really hope things get better x

I'm reading a (fiction) book about the Vietnam War and it really made me think.

50 years ago teenagers were being conscripted and sent off to a doomed war to witness unimaginable horror and violence, and hundreds of thousands were killed or maimed. The average life expectancy of a pilot in Vietnam was something like 30 days from arrival.

Now we've got kids crying online and traumatised because someone (correctly) referred to them as the pronoun that matches their sex.

We are living in the easiest, most privileged of times in human history, and I'm sure the idleness has created as many problems as it's solved.

Not that I'm suggesting we send kids to war. I'm a woman and a feminist, and war is a male pursuit, I just think there are some people who've had it far too easy for far too long and their resilience is none existent as a consequence.

@knickerbocker glory I have had issues with my oldest. We just simply don't discuss it now . It's a issue that we agree we will never be able to discuss in a way we should be able to.
I can't even imagine how I would feel if he changed his name. Broken I think.
Massive hugs to you. I hope you can find a space together where even if you don't agree you recognise your relationship is more important ❤

I mean it sounds so fake I doubt it actually happened, its probably just a tank fantasy.

If this person passed as well as they're trying to claim then step 1 likely would have been a pregnancy test, followed by an ultrasound to make sure it wasn't an ectopic or twisted fallopians etc. I've never heard of a Dr going straight to a pelvic exam.

They are trying to subtly brag that they passed as a woman.

Bet the doctor clocked it the moment they drew the curtain

It's like that old saying, the devil makes work for idle hands. People nowadays have so much leisure time, and a lot of young people especially, hardly work at all, so they have literally nothing else to do but trawl through the online cesspits, looking for somewhere to fit in. They're terminally offended, if theyre not moaning about JKR and the terfs, they're whinging about the environment, (although paper straws are a step too far apparently 🙄)
They shout loudly about Gaza, whilst knowing nothing of the history of this troubled region. They march for "Pride" but expect gay women to have sex with trans identified men.
They're loud but they honestly have nothing new to say.
I can remember marching against the Poll Tax, and for the miners. I've always voted, aware that it's a privilege not given to all women.
What are they ranting for today? For women to give up their rights to single sex spaces, and for transvestites to beat the tit out of us in contact sports. Thanks for nothing 🙄

Yeah you’re spot on. When I had a really bad bout of IBS and didn’t know what it was, I had a pregnancy test and then an ultrasound. They didn’t give me an internal at all.
just another lying freak

I've had a lot of issues with my ex-reproductive organs and never had a doctor visually check my tina first off, that's not where cramps originate. I've never been to Emergency with cramps either, I'd take a period-specific analgesic and get the duck on with my day like pretty much every other woman.

OT: looking for suggestions for sensible feminist accounts on IG that don't think men who say they are women are therefore women.

I get really annoyed about these men appropriating women's periods. Putting to one side those for whom a period is a fetish 🤮 there's another group, often younger men, who want to roll around in front of their camera showing us how much pain they're in.

I doubt they even understand that the period is the end point of a process that takes roughly 28 days* - the clue is in the phrase "menstrual cycle". We don't magically conjure up a period out of nowhere. They never seem to appropriate any of the other parts of the cycle, do they?

It's just a mockery of what we really experience.

*My periods were more like "meh - we'll have a period when we feel like it, 28 days, 35 days...56 days if we want". :ROFLMAO:

Good article about the current US situation


Heres an extract,where hes talking about Sarah McBride (trans member of congress) being interviewed by Ezra Klein about a colleague who got dog piled for expressing discomfort about TWAW in sports:



"Moulton protested repeatedly that while “some of the, you know, woke left just wants to cancel me,” there was also “a good number of them who agree with me.” In the end, both members took so much flak for “transphobia” that they voted against a House measure barring the participation of biological men in women’s sports.

This is what Klein really meant by “got a lot of attention.”

McBride’s answer was wild:

It wasn’t the language that I would use… The sports conversation is a good one because there is a big difference between banning trans young people from extracurricular programs consistent with their gender identity and recognizing that there’s room for nuance in this conversation. The notion that we created this “all-on” or “all-off” mentality, that you had to be perfect on trans rights across the board, use exactly the right language, and unless you do that, you are a bigot, you’re an enemy. When you create a binary all-on or all-off option for people, you’re going to have a lot of imperfect allies who are going to inevitably choose the all-off option.
What ends up happening is the left excommunicates someone who not only — Seth voted against the ban on trans athletes, but we would excommunicate someone who uses imperfect language — yes, again, not language I would use. But we would excommunicate someone who’s saying that there’s nuance in this conversation and use this language that we don’t approve of — yet still votes “the right way”? That’s exactly what’s wrong with our approach.
Translation: “So long as they bow to pressure on demand and ultimately vote the right way, we don’t have to excommunicate absolutely everyone guilty of ideological lapses.” When McBride said, “There’s room for nuance in this conversation,” what she meant, incredibly, is that a Democrat may temporarily express discomfort on the issue, provided he or she gets back in line in time to vote.

Klein didn’t blink at the idea that people with a point of view differing from activists are “imperfect” human beings, nor was there any embarrassment or regret about the idea of “excommunicating” people from something other than a church. That means no apologies to Canadian Dr. Kenneth Zucker after he was fired and denounced as a conversion therapist for suggesting occasional “Watchful waiting,” or to biologist Colin Wright after he was tossed from PayPal or Etsy for selling “Reality’s Last Stand” merch, or to any of the folks who were dismissed or reprimanded for putting a signature on the Harper’s Free Speech Letter with J.K. Rowling and fifty other people. As for admitting the possibility of actual wrongness (as opposed to political error), on any of these issues, that remains competely and utterly excluded. I lost another friend over the Shrier review because I’d “fallen for” Shrier’s premise that this era saw an explosion of interest in transition among young girls. When the British government commissioned a study into the causes of this “surge,” Shrier should have been vindicated, but her “social contagion” thesis was considered so ideologically abhorrent it could not possibly be right, no matter what the numbers said.

This issue from the start has been been presented as a single battle over “transgender rights” as opposed to what it was, a diverse list of wildly varying new demands. There’s a huge difference between denying an adult the right to transition and putting men with penises in women’s prisons. There’s also a big difference between opposing housing or employment discrimination against transgender adults and demanding the use of terms like “birthing persons.” Society was asked to accept all changes at once, and when voters said no to some, like eliminating the concept of “biological sex,” they were the ones deemed “imperfect,” not the activists who overshot the mark.
