JK right again

Excellent work Glamour - I'll get a copy from the newsagents. Wouldn't be aware of this otherwise so thanks OP! The rest of the women of the year are also worth reading about - including Hannah Hampton, a first class goalie who helped us secure a second Euros victory.

YABU. Great response from Glamour. Hatred of trans people is no different to the past prevalence and social acceptance of homophobia. Shame on anyone who agrees with JK Rowling.

The thing to do is for everyone to not buy the magazine.

You don’t help yourself by being deliberately rude or simple, or aggressively bold (especially when you’re being a bold simpleton). It’s obviously none of the nonsense you’ve typed. And these people exist and have done for centuries, so it’s clearly not batshit either 🙄. It’s real, and they wouldn’t give two shits that you personally don’t believe it - you, actually, embody the type of ignorance that makes their life a living curse. Why be so dismissive of something you don’t like? Wonder who that reminds me of…

I suspect it’s probably some sort of chromosomal combination, or genomal “defect” that combines element of a male human with elements of a female human in the same body. Is that beyond your imagination? Or can there only ever be two possible choices, both of them absolute at all times, and natural selection must be 100% perfect at all times, that glitches and variations can never occur even though they do every single day up and down the entire length and breadth of the human genome? You do a huge disservice to the hundreds of thousands of people who have gone before you who lived with their “defective” bodies and souls without making the sort of fuss that has this current generation all riled up. Ffs, I know standards on MN have dropped but this is something else.

So there must be two groups of people who are “stuck in the wrong body”. The people claiming it and those who got the bodies these people were supposed to have? Do the second group know they are in the wrong bodies? How does this happen? Is it like a production line where something like a soul is put in a body and someone let the intern have a go and they put the souls in the wrong bodies? I have so many questions about this batshit theory.

So I totally misunderstood what you meant by ‘Barbican had a transwoman with a tiny part’.

Well I'd really love to seen as I admire the 9 women on the cover but someone else seemed think it's not in print any more - so I'm a little confused about where JK even found the photo to be honest. If you search Glamour Women of the Year UK, the article doesn't mention the Dolls until the very end. (Last time I tried to post the correct link MN blocked my reply so I'll try again after this)

I'll be at a proper newsagent today that stocks every magazine you can think of so I'll have a look.

Same question for you @VioletandDill you don’t normally buy it but you will if there’s men on the cover????? Huh?

Would you be happy if one of them excelled in say, swimming, and a male who was mediocre in the men’s, ‘transitioned’ aka just said ‘I’m a woman now’ and competed against your daughter, with all the physiological advantages being a male brings in sport?

Bud Light. Planet Fitness. Target to name a few.

Barbie had a transwoman with a tiny part. It emits a roll of the eyes at best. Had a transwoman/male been cast as Barbie, it would’ve been a different story entirely.

I think this whole thing is clearly lost on me because I don't read this as anything other than tongue in cheek. A man who has transitioned away from being a man and closer to being a woman isn't a woman. He's not a man, but neither is he a woman. He's a transitioned man. Different category. So this is just satire, to me. Provocative satire to generate clicks and outrage. Not particularly mature or interesting, in fact pretty boring.

Biological women 'present' in a million different ways. Yesterday, I was dressed down in DH's rugby shirt with no make up and bad hair. Today, I'm wearing velvet leggings with a cosy jumper and light make up. I rarely look identical three days running.

So why do TW always, always, always 'present' as uber glamorous, over sexualized, push-up bras, drag make-up, heels and dangly earrings?

It. Is. A. Festish.

It’s like Ebony magazine putting Rachel Dolezal on the cover and announcing that she’s “Black Woman of the Year”.

I worded that badly, what I meant to say was men, whatever they wear, are not a minority group.

IMO they are appropriating oppression. The group of men photographed for this magazine shoot are the opposite of oppressed. They are demanding additional rights based on their identities without a care of the harm that does to female people.
