I am a woman.

I was a girl.

I am an adult human female.

Something a man can never be.

I am a woman.

People refer to me has her and she.

Sometimes said with deep contempt and misogyny.

I am a woman.

Something a male will never be.

I have a vagina and uterus.

I menstruate and have given birth.

I am a mother.

Something a male will never be.

I have been insulted, assaulted, belittled, dismissed, held back, intimidated, stereotyped, terrorised, mocked, shamed, humiliated because I am a woman.

Something a male can never be.

I feel insulted, appropriated, offended, anxious, tense, depressed, hurt and under siege, when a male claims to be a woman or anyone says a male can be female.

It is not civil or respectful to treat me this way.

I am a woman.

I am Spartacus.

I am a Christian. I don't force my religion on others, I don't like the trans religion being forced on me.

I believe God made man and woman, God didn't make any mistakes and Men are not women.

I believe you can live freely as long as you have consent from others and cause no harm.

I will not lie .

Men are supported in life much better than women are. I don't believe any man is more oppressed than someone like me.

I am Spartacus and I will keep posting on these threads as long as they keep appearing. I'm so so sad and discouraged by the new Mumsnet position on trans issues. Another example of women being silenced, and in the last place I expected to see it

I am a woman

I grew penises inside me. I gave birth to them.

It’s the only way that a woman can have a penis. If I was American I would emphatically say PERIOD. That’s another thing that omlyv a woman can experience.

MHHQ guidelines:

1. We believe in free speech and civil debate. So we will, for instance, allow people to discuss biology and scientific evidence.

It is not transphobic.

I am a woman and I would never, ever force another woman to submit to abuse by a man.

Those who would are beneath contempt.

Women referring to their own biological reality isn't transphobic dinosaursandtea. I regularly see you misgendering trans folk who acknowledge they are not women.

Sex is real

Sex matters independently of gender identity

I am Spartacus.

I am a woman. I was born female. I experienced childhood as a girl. I experienced a female puberty. I have been pregnant 3 times, and given birth vaginally to 2 boys and a girl. I breastfed all 3 of them.

I have been sexually assaulted because I was a woman.

Women matter. Girls matter.

Woman is not a feeling. Woman is not a costume. Woman is not an identity.

When males participate in female sports, they always win. Dominate. Beat us.

The biological reality is that males are generally stronger, bigger, faster than females. It's not just the testosterone. They are physically larger - bigger muscle mass, bigger lung capacity. More stamina/strength.

It doesn't matter if they feel more comfortable wearing dresses and makeup or refer to themselves as she/her. The biological reality doesn't change.

If males compete in female sports, we can't compete.

This is an important issue to me personally and why I won't lie and say a male is a female and be forced to compete with him because it makes him feel better. If that makes me Spartacus then so be it. What about our rights to a fair game?

This Spartacus stuff is always so embarrassing. I’m blushing.

Also very short-sighted. I get that there are frustrations, but a bit of diplomacy can go a long way. Carry on like this and MN will eventually just think “fuck it” and shut down this whole section of Talk.

I don’t give a flying fuck if the truth is supposedly transphobic - it’s the Truth.
I will NEVER lie and calla male ‘she’ . Males cannot ever become Female - that is absolute fact, no matter what junk science is used to ‘prove’ they can.
Men cannot get pregnant and give birth, everyone in the world knows this.
I am fucking Spartacus and we will not be silenced.
