Same.Totally, I've never owned a sex toy and doubt I ever will. Just doesn't appeal to me. I have friends who claim they're the greatest thing ever but it's just not for me.![]()

Indeed.What an absolute piece of victim blaming sh!t, can't believe the acrobatics he is doing to try and justify his behaviour. Hope they throw the book at him
Marked this as one to watch on YouTube - thanks.there’s a documentary called The Girl Who Became Three Boys on one of these cases which I’d recommend because although the story is sad and mad, one of the girls who features heavily in it is amazing. A brilliant and very authentic storyteller that we don’t see all that often these days (I think the doc is about 10 years old now). Her v no people given working class Nan is in it too and is also great.
the whole thing is incredibly sad though as everyone in it comes across as so painfully naive and unprotected.
I don't even want the Harry Styles one and I love Harry Styles.Same.

I could do with all of your post on a tee-shirt!Gender ideology has got to be the most self-centred trend ever to have been foisted upon us. No other popular movement has ever tried to elicit and enforce the participation of others in the way the trans movement does. I’m utterly sick of this cult and its enablers.
In fact its more feasible that someone who may look white could have black ancestors that they're completely unaware of. I did one of those genetic tests a few years ago and discovered I had some ancestors from different parts of the world that I was completely unaware of. My husband whose family is from the Caribbean discovered he has some Swedish ancestry, although he doesn't look remotely Swedish.I was reminded yesterday of Rachel Dolezal - woman who, about ten years ago, became the subject of widespread ridicule and controversy for falsely claiming to be African American. She attempted to present herself as a person of color by darkening her skin with makeup and styling her hair in braids and weaves.
As a result, she was forced to resign from her leadership role in the NAACP and also lost positions she held in academia and on a police oversight commission.
Though how is this situation fundamentally different from men who claim to be women? In Dolezal’s case, society quickly rejected her claims and held her accountable. Yet today, men who identify as women are often accepted into positions, including leadership roles and board seats, in organisations intended to represent and support women.
Why was one case dismissed as fraudulent while the other has not only been permitted but, in many cases, encouraged?
I’d be interested to hear your thoughts!Marked this as one to watch on YouTube - thanks.
I used to love this too but I've really gone off it. I really hate Sarah's insistence on going "huh!" when her guests are speaking and she's another one who insists on trans women being women, queerness, etc.One of my favourite podcasts used to be You’re Wrong About - I was obsessed with it in lockdown. I remember they did an episode on something to do with trans or gender stuff, and one of the presenters went on a rant about how AGP was transphobic and just the latest manifestation of gay men being told they’re gay because they’re attracted to themselves (I’m massively paraphrasing something I listened to probs 3 years ago).
I don’t think I’d heard of AGP at this stage, and was still broadly supportive of the trans cause - I had niggles that I’d wrestle with but tried not to go there tbh. I remember being frustrated that there wasn’t more open discussion on the AGP issue - dismissing it outright as transphobia/homophobia just didn’t make sense to me. So it became another niggle.
That presenter is now a full on TRA and is completely insufferable. His other podcast, Maintenance Phase, really helped me when I was in ED recovery but they did an episode on ROGD that was so condescending and ill-informed that I think it actually helped peak me.
Stopped using wickes a few years back because of their bosses previous views on things. duck them, we drive across to the range or homebase instead.Wickes could go on that list too

I always way preferred Sarah to Michael, tbh this was back in the mad days and I don’t think my attachment to the pod was all that healthy, but I did find that in its early days it gave me a refreshing and positive way of looking at the world at a time when I really needed it.I used to love this too but I've really gone off it. I really hate Sarah's insistence on going "huh!" when her guests are speaking and she's another one who insists on trans women being women, queerness, etc.
Its almost as if we don’t exist?So bored of this nonsense. Why has the word woman become the thing you cannot say.![]()
Ha ha yes, there is another choice but it is a lot more expensive. Anyhow someone upthread posted that it is nothing to do with trans. I just wanted to make sure I didn't get indignant about something incorrectly by my misunderstanding.I've added it, but I imagine it's quite difficult to avoid if you need to catch a train in that area!
A former friend who stopped speaking to me when she found out I was GC has a trans husband. She had a difficult pregnancy and the baby was poorly too, then she was a bit of an earth-mother type and he's obviously feeling all un-special. He will never pass in a month of Mondays.I wonder how long before he realised that his female partner was going to be the centre of attention for months, until the birth of his twins, when the attention would (rightly) be focused on them? So many of these men seem to have a real problem when they're not the centre of everyone's universe, and it's telling when you realise how many of them suddenly discover their "feminine" side when children come along. Although they're rarely feminine enough to take over the child-rearing, housework and general drudgery that actual women do every single day![]()
I really feel so sorry for women married to TIMs. It seems like a living hell.A former friend who stopped speaking to me when she found out I was GC has a trans husband.

I'm quite convinced one day @Metropolis will reveal herself to be Queen JK Rowling tbh.I could do with all of your post on a tee-shirt!
Our Metropolis has the same way with words and can successfully deliver a sick burn without a hair out of place*. I wouldn't be completely shocked.I'm quite convinced one day @Metropolis will reveal herself to be Queen JK Rowling tbh.
