To be angry that Scarlet Blake is being called a woman.

Being a woman is related to ones internal sense-of-self. It's how we feel about ourselves and unique to all of us. Having ovaries doesn't make you judge and jury over anyones sense-of-self

Why does this just apply to 'being a woman' though?

What if my 'sense of self' tells me I'm African American or a cat or blind or 70 years old?

If material reality doesn't matter in being a woman, why does it matter for everything else?

No, it’s really not. Being a woman is being a female adult human being. I have a sense of self, yes, but the ‘I’m a woman’ part is based on fact, just like the ‘I’m a human being’ part. And some women don’t have ovaries, eg after a hysterectomy, but they’re still women - because they’re female.

BTW, men can wear make up too. Women are not a collection of stereotypes or sex dolls with red lips.

In the words of Magdalen: ‘Fuck this shit’

CLOWN FISH!

And there's that willingness in people who want to view themselves as clever and scientific to go along with "oooooo sex is soo oooo complicated dontchaknow" because it makes them feel smart.

In fairness, there are many, many strands.

Lets not even get started on the Pritzkers

Yes. I was rather oversimplifying. I think I've just been thinking about the doctors' decision to be like "on you go, you'll feel much better if you use women's toilets" recently.

Let's not underplay the role of many useful idiots cheering this on because 'be kind'

I second this.

It's quite something to realise it.

In particular, all those lefty men who I thought were ok. I've now realised were only ever pro women because it was politically expedient

We got here from some misogynist doctors deciding women were to be mere therapeutic tools for distressed men and sending them out to use women's spaces without fucking asking. Then it got enshrined in law. But none of it was ever enough and they kept taking and taking and now we've got huge swathes of young autistic women chopping their breasts off and screwing themselves over with cross-sex hormones in order to serve the delusions of these "distressed" men.

In essence.

The media doesn’t have to lie. My paper didn’t.

We got here via the GRA

The legislation underpins where we stand nae fucker is ready to admit it

As I've said before nothing, ever has shown to me how little women's rights and feelings count than this movement.

We are now living in a society that bases legislation, journalistic reporting and women’s safety on the whims and feelings of men, even horrifically violent and sadistic men. How the fuck did we get here?

A man feels like a women, so all of us including private organisations, public institutions, the judiciary, the press, MPs and the police have to put women’s safety at risk and change laws and accepted norms in order not to offend. nobody gives a fuck about women - we are acceptable collateral damage…mens feelings are worth far more.

You cannot base the laws of a functioning society on feelings.

In the words of Magdalen: ‘Fuck this shit’

I think someone is probably getting off on making us so angry.

But, sunlight.

In a way it's good Erin has come on here to show what these men really think about women and our rights.

When a person shows you who they are believe them.

This is why accurate reporting of sex is needed.

If Erin really believes they have a woman's brain it shows how deluded they are. And dangerous. They should not be any where near women in single sex spaces.

Oooh I used to wear red lipstick! Am I a proper ladybrainwoman? I did also once try to have a view on the gold standard and that went horribly wrong (thank you PP for the Harry Enfield memory!)

I mean this man got himself microchipped. That's dedication.

If you believe a man becomes a woman at some point because he wants to be so you think that this person can become a cat if they want to be one?

They could have fur and a tale grafted on and ask their friends to tickle their bellies and call them Ginger. Their friends could oblige. Doesn't make them a cat does it?

I respect people's right to dress how they like, to live peacefully how they like, to choose their pronouns etc and I will respect them and their pronouns. But being treated as a man/woman if you are not one is an honorary title. The person can live as a man or a woman/other people can attempt to treat them in their preferred gender but they will never BE a man or a woman if they were not born one.

If you start murdering people in cold blood and that honorary title is rescinded. A woman did not commit this crime.

Thankyou for speaking up.

Thanks for speaking up that women are red lipstick vaginas?

Yes I read this story thinking it was so strange for a woman. I didn’t realise it was a man until I saw Mumsnet. So disgusted. I’m sure it’s been said many times but don’t we need pronouns for trans people that does’t include she , her or woman!

Trans women are men. You can absolutely dress in what you like and wear make up, you’re still a man.

A man carries out an awful crime and is reported as being a woman! It beggars belief!!
