This is fabulous! The last reply killed me
I don't have an issue with trans women wearing women's clothing, including women's underwear. Of course they should. But I do have a problem with erasing the 'women's' part. From breastfeeding to periods, women are being erased. To be brutally honest, I feel a though 'women' and 'female' have become insults. I am a feminist (and I define that as being the belief that women should have the same opportunities as men) and will not stand by whilst my body and my fears, hopes and beliefs are weaponised against me.This is really scary tbh, I genuinely don't understand how men modelling products for use by women is at all progressive. Like this isn't even normal day to day clothes that transwomen will also wear...only bio women and trans men would need a bra like that? Interesting they didn't use a trans man isn't it? Almost like there's some misogyny going on yet again...
They feel they could throw someone over a car? Because they are "hormonal"?! So basically making out that women are 'hysterical' when on periods (word origin pertaining to mania because a woman has a womb). This actually reads to me that they are performing as a woman and actually using mysogynistic tropes that women are seen as volatile and unstable when on periods.Speaking of periods, this comes from a period support group.
The state of the TiM thinking they're having a period and the state of these handmaidens pandering to him. Women have been kicked out for speaking up and now the questions for joining have changed and "no transphobia" has been called out twice. Why are people validating this persons mental illness at the expense of women?
My ex is non-binary. He was the cruellest, most self-obsessed narcissistic asshole I have ever had the experience of knowing. I spent our entire relationship apologising. He is a top 1% earner in the UK in a male-dominated field. He is in a position of power and has enjoyed everything that comes with being born a male, the irony of him having they/them in his work bio makes me wince. He just liked wearing ladies underwear behind closed doors and painting his nails. He was heavily into BDSM. He was male enough to sexually assault me daily, but not male enough to want to be called a man. I truly believe non-binary means "help me I have no personality and no one likes me" or it's a fetish. I am a writer and have been writing about my experience being abused by this member of the trans community, I suspect I would be shot if I published it.Nah.
To be honest I automatically assume anyone calling themselves non binary will be offended on a daily basis. These types seems to like being offended and people having to constantly apologise. However I've never been friends with a 'non binary' person so I may be mistaken.
Also what makes a person who calls themselves non binary and expert on trans issues?
Thank you lovely. I always love seeing your name pop up!glad to see you around again! I was thinking about you the other day, I hope you're doing okay.
Here’s an idea, why don’t they get off their arses and make their own shelters? Why the fuck should women be made to move over to make room for these people. We weren’t handed these shelters on a plate we had to work for them, so for trans women to come barging in saying “what about us” is just insulting, you are not biologically a woman you have no place in a women’s refuge. Go and make your own trans friendly refuges, it will benefit us all. It won’t be easy but fuck should trans people be allowed to take a slice of what women worked hard for just because they say they feel like women.This is very sad and infuriating at the same time
Women have worked really hard for centuries for their rights to freedom and to not be shamed for periods and such (many parts of the world still do shame them) but now they have to be called "People with vaginas?" because of the less than 1% of the populations who identify as male and have a vagina? I know a few people who are F-M trans and I have had this discussion with them and they don't agree with using these terms. They want to be men and not a "Person with a vagina" just as much as women want to be called women. Who is actually pushing this agenda?When talking about something directly related to your genitals (such as periods or sex toys) it's not about "defining people by their genitals" to use inclusive language it's just practical. It's exclusionary to say "ladies let's discuss your vagina" when not all ladies have vaginas and there's men with vaginas who would like that advice without being referred to as a woman.
ETA: while these terms might sound a little clunky at the moment to some, I think with time people will get more used to these terms and then hurrah we have more inclusive language that comfortably fits into the conversation!
Wtf do all these transwomen know about women’s issues? Having lived their lives as men and continuing to go through life with the attitude and entitlement of their male privilege?!Sadly it's already happening. The Green Party women, for eg. And here in Ireland a board member on the Womens Council for Ireland is trans.
I have just remembered it was even worse than this - she was also told "but what if you divorce and a future relationship wants children" I think she reported the doctorYep. A friend of mine in her mid 30s. She has been asking for over 10yrs and she is still refused.
So Hilaria/Hilary Baldwin, wife of Alec, is getting shit for pretending to be Spanish. She claimed to be born in Majorca, moved to the US aged 19, and speaks with an accent and pretended to not know the English for cucumber. Her five kids have Spanish names. She is in fact born, bred and raised in the USA, and her family have been American for many generations.
I feel a bit sorry for her; it's pitiful that she feels the need to do this. As far as I can tell, she's harmless. I hope she has only been lying to the public, and not her kids.
I don't see why pretending to be Spanish is such a huge problem, but pretending to be the opposite sex is not? Although I feel sorry for the shit she's getting (she shouldn't have lied but these kind of public lynchings are harsh), I always hope that people start to see the connection with transracial bullshit and transgender bullshit.
