It's fine. Not a lot of people know what we find offensive. Most of us have medical records describing us as "male pseudo-hermaphrodites" even people like me who were observed to be female at birth and have female birth certificates from birth.

Yes, go JK. She isn't wrong and I had this discussion with my partner last night.Gwan JK Rowling
Discussed on another thread how M to F trans people seem way more extreme and problematic than F to M and I highly agree.
I remember when Caitlyn Jenner was Bruce, Bruce played at a golf club that was men only and had no problem with it. Suddenly when she became Caitlynn, she was complaining that women couldn't play there. Lol. Can't have have it both ways. Didn't give a tit when she was a man and could play there but suddenly now she's a woman, she wanted it changed.
Caitlynn also voted for Trump. Woof.
I was going to like Jo's tweet but worried that anyone that saw it, even people I know, would go after me publicly. How fucked up is that? Men still managing to silence women and speak about their rights by transitioning to a woman (some not even fully transitioning but thinking they can talk for us). Bog off. I know not all M to F are like this but it seems MANY are.

Are we sleepwalking? Or are people to scared to speak up because they get bullied into submission?
Women are being silenced and it makes me so angry.
This woman was called a transphobe and TERF for campaigning against FGM - and then she was accused of lying about it.

There isn’t enough eduction or knowledge around. So i wouldn’t even know what to use to identify correctly.
Think it has to do with the hormone treatment. But I don’t know the fine details.
I have trans friends. but I never fully speak my opinion, as I know I be labeled transphobic.
I can understand, it’s heart breaking not feeling comfortable in their own skin. However I am a firm believer that you first need to find some sort of happiness in your assigned by birth sex. Believing changing your body will find you happiness is a dangerous, heartbreaking and life ruining gamble to take.
you be on hormone treatment the rest ofyour life. Whichhas its own emotional and physical downfalls.
maybe you still don’t pass “properly” for the“new”sex, regardles it’s not a perfect world you will come accord tension and possibly bullying.
those two points alone, could damage you mental health enormously. There are more points to make and I wonder in some cases if not most. It might actually be better to stay with the assigned at birth sex. As in end it gives less damage then a change would do
There is a documentary about transgender with regret. I think it’s great to watch. They also include people that didn’t regret it as a balance.
Its in dutch but with translation

Yeah
You do have to do some mental gymnastics to follow their logic
Well, one benefit of threads like these is that it makes it easy to know who to block. Thanks, transphobes, for outing yourselves.
Oh grow up honestly.
And this is why we have the issue - when a subject is big, complicated and raises conflicts and requires deep critical thinking people nowadays seem to head-in-the-sand rather than listening.
They also like to shout insults then flounce like above.
Its all very juvenile.
I definitely find as I'm getting older (closer to 30) I'm getting more conservative in my views, especially when it comes to this stuff. Perhaps when I was younger I would have been more open to it but I've seen what women have gone through and it feels like people take the piss now.
I hate all this "there's no gender/sex" bullshit.
And the trans women playing in women's sports, etc.
It feels like coddling at this point.

Can anyone provide evidence of people denying sex exists? Like is there solid proof (not tweets and tumblr posts from a few extremists) that there’s a conspiracy to wipe out the idea of sex and strip away women’s rights? I think people are confusing sex and gender, nobody is denying the existence of biological sex
Also can someone explain to me why an article saying ‘People have periods’ instead of ‘Women have periods’ should be considered an attack on my womanhood? Genuinely curious and open to respectful discussion

Hey
Because "people" don't get periods. Biological women get periods and that can't be argued.
There are absolute nut jobs trying to argue that "sex" isn't binery. https://massivesci.com/articles/sex-gender-intersex-transgender-identity-discrimination-title-ix/
Why So Many Progressives Are Arguing That Biological Sex Doesn't Exist
The right doesn't have a monopoly on science denialism
They are dangerous.
Trans men are people and they sometimes have periods. I don’t see the harm in trying to be sensitive to that fact that not all people who have periods are women. They maybe biologically female but they’re not women so ‘people who have periods’ would be the correct statement.Hey

Nobody can deny science, sex exist, there’s no denying it. I just don’t understand why there’s so much focus on the minority crazies. There’s no way they’re going to be able to eradicate biological sex
Someone in the JK Rowling thread shared this article: https://www.heritage.org/gender/com...-riddled-contradictions-here-are-the-big-ones
I recommend you read the whole thing but skip to the 'genderbread' and 'gender unicorn' pictures. The 'genderbread' model wasn't good enough for them, it caused outrage because it included biological sex which they say isn't real. It then became 'sex assigned at birth' in the 'gender unicorn' model.
I remember Nikkie Tutorials on YouTube came out as trans and she had been with her boyfriend for a while but hadn't told him. She only ended up telling him as someone was "bribing" her. I actually find that a horrific secret to keep from someone. Not everyone is ok being with a trans person, I would not be comfortable with a trans boyfriend. If you see a future with someone you need to be honest about everything. Also, I actually thought that she was trans way before she said anything.
Edit: they are engaged so he's her fiancé. Even worse.

Me too, massive head and every look was drag, but I didn’t realise it was public knowledge now! I’m so out of the loop
But there are plenty of cis women who don't get periods, and the article was specifically about menstrual health and hygiene issues. So using 'women' in place of 'people who menstruate' wouldn't have made sense.
Ok well then why not say "women who menstruate?" Saying "people who menstruate" is just pandering to these bullies and continuing to make "women" a bad word.
But I think that's just nit-picking. Like I said already, JK wasn't saying all women menstruate, she was saying all people who menstruate are women.
