To have not lied to DS about trans actor in Last Christmas?

Yeah, she should definitely indoctrinate them with reactionary, bigoted bullshit, it’s so much easier than saying, “She’s a trans woman”.

Maybe have a few days off for Christmas and go back to the LGBTQ bashing on Saturday. Surely 2 days without abusing a minority isn’t beyond you?

and then everybody clapped

Interesting......... so despite the fact that there is I think? a trans day, week, month of visibility and that we are endlessly being told by the "trans community" (which is in no way a community) that those of us who object to it are "destroying their lives" and lots of other hyperbole........you are arguing that actually the fact that most of us dont identify (or in anyway support the trans cult) doesnt affect a trans persons life. Also as I said in another comment - look up "obfuscation"

The trans cult (because it is a cult) massively affects all of our lives whether male or female in so many ways. It permeates almost every aspect of day to day life in the Western world atm. Have a read/watch of books/videos and you will soon know but Im guessing you'd rather not confront the facts - should you wish to........

YANBU. He is a man and you were right not to lie to your child. is your son year 6 or year 7? From year 7, he needs to be a bit clued up on trans ideology because it’ll be a topic of conversation in school.

From both of your children’s reactions, I’d be having a chat about trans ideology, how it’s a very separate thing to sexuality, that it’s a homophobic movement, the importance of biology, the harm this is doing to women, children, especially autistic people etc.

"And also no trans people have not always existed"

I don't know what "always" means but records show existence of trans people since at least 5,000 BC. So hardly a recent development

I am at odds with your comment in so many ways. For starters, any response that starts with "you do realise" is bothersome because its so incredibly rude and patronising.
And also no the trans debate isnt a distraction from real problems - we are all aware of those issues as well. It isnt one or the other.

And also no trans people have not always existed.

And no again - because yes actually the existence of trans people does take away from the rest of us. In lots of ways.

I recommend you look up the word "obfuscation" because like many others who hold your perspective on this topic you are good at it.

I find it very weird that you're bringing peoples genitals into it. Everyone knows what sex they are. Men should respect the law and women's rights to their own sex spaces and stay out of them.

It's Rebecca Root who was born male and now identifies as female in a relationship that some call lesbian with a biological female. A fairly well known actor.

In the 2019 film the trans individual Rebecca plays a doctor.

What's with the weird misogynistic 'panties in a bunch'?

Well this is as extreme as the TRAs, so really?

I don't understand why it matters so much to you.

you’ll be pleased to know that this precise definition is statutory RSHE as of September 2026.

we still have to be polite to these people thanks to the FWS judgement, but we can politely say, they’re men.

Then I have good news for you. The subject of this thread is a film, which is not any kind of space.

I find it very weird that you're bringing peoples genitals into it. Everyone knows what sex they are. Men should respect the law and women's rights to their own sex spaces and stay out of them.

I think someone needs to turn the internet off for the day tbh.

Can't imagine a nice family activity setting me off like this, but I guess I'm just built different*

(*I think it's very weird to speculate about people's genitals!)

I find Mumsnet users to be an intelligent and understanding group until we get to the trans debate. On this subject it's a hotbed of intolerance with its inflexible and hate-filled TERF mentality. I despair.

Why do you think it’s ok to have an opinion on something you know nothing about and have never looked into? This issue has been hotly debated for over a decade now. The ways that ‘trans people’ who want to be treated as the sex they are not, in all and every situation, negatively affects other people has been well articulated and evidenced.

Here’s a fun fact for you. The fact that you haven’t bothered to look into an issue, doesn’t mean that issue doesn’t exist and isn’t well known and evidenced.

Here’s another fun fact. Sound bites from your equally closed minded mates, are also not ‘facts’.

Ah, don't you know that this is the most significant issue affecting women, globally? More so than, say, FGM, reproductive rights, violence against women, rape, discrimination, gender based poverty? After all, how can women in Yemen achieve some (e)quality of life if we have trans people? Have you not been on the FWR board (or whatever it's now called)?

Ask?

Well how sad for your kids that they have such an intolerant mother .

I daresay theyll alienate you first with that attitude.

And in 10-15 years time we'll see a post "dont know why my adult DC dont bother with me"
