There are no words. What a plonker.

If you started out as a girl and are now a man, you must have transitioned. Did you notice it happening? Are you a frog perhaps?

If gender is fluid, doesn't that just prove that it's too unreliable to be designated as a protected category?

MarigoldGloveHotel · 20/01/2018 21:23

Nope, not a girl leopard, I just looked in the mirror and I've got no makeup on, no shoes at all.

I thought a onesie would make my life easier, not stylish, but easier. I'm disappointed.

MrsDoylesTeaBags · 20/01/2018 21:22

Titchy that last statement makes no sense. I am bi racial and I know loads of mixed race people from all backgrounds.

How can gender be fluid but race be fixed?

badbadhusky · 20/01/2018 21:15

I'm wearing a onesie:I am a leopard. I don't know what sex of leopard as it's cold and I don't want to undo the zip.

I was about to say that if you don’t have dangly bits, its safe to assume you are a girl leopard but with all this new gender-bending, I’m not so sure.

Wonder if Benezia knows she's transphobic. How dare she say transwomen are male Shock

Poor DS3. He’s busy breastfeeding from me right now. He’ll be terribly upset to discover that I’m not a woman because I haven’t worn a dress or heels or makeup in years. Maybe I should put a dress and some makeup on quick before my milk dries up?

On a serious note though, DS2 (4) came home from school the other day, and announced that he was a girl. Because now his favourite colour is pink, and “pink is a girl colour, so I have to be a girl if I like pink”. (he still wants to be a train driver when he grows up though).
The thought that there’s people out there who’d say to him “yes, you might really be a girl instead of a boy” instead of “it’s okay for boys to like pink” is quite chilling.

Sorry, what was that, Si? I was looking at my phone.

I find that having a male name means I get paid more.
And people listen to me I meetings.

SophoclesTheFox · 20/01/2018 20:57

Simon, do you think it might help if you changed to a more feminine name? I mean, no wonder you're confused, love Grin

SophoclesTheFox · 20/01/2018 20:56

trainsgender Grin Nice one.

Chin chin, irretating ! Lad bonding time, mate.

Cynara, vulvas are neither here nor there in this Brave New World. The question is: might you in fact be a good boy? Hmm? Do you feel like a good boy? What even is a boy?

I can quite imagine that Benezia has many, many emotions and moods that they wish to track. ALL the emotions. Bigly.

Thermostatpolice · 20/01/2018 20:52

That's what I was wondering simon. It does sound like 'state switching' is related to gender. Or maybe it's a MH term (in which case I can see why the app would be v useful)?

Or electronics, which is all Google throws up.

imablackstarnotapopstar · 20/01/2018 20:44

Last night I wore a dress, lady boots, dangly jewellery and make up but today I wore jeans, a shit baggy hoodie & Doc Martins with no make up. I think I'd better just identify as hungover

SimonBridges · 20/01/2018 20:37

Perhaps it tracks if you change gender. I’ll happily change to a man for a week every 28 days.

Cynara · 20/01/2018 20:36

Oh no, I'm confused. I'm wearing tracksuit bottoms and DP's t shirt. Tomorrow will be the same, but on Monday I'll wear a skirt and make-up but (crucially) no heels. Do I need this app or not??

nooka · 20/01/2018 20:32

on a daily basis too. Life saving apparently.

Thermostatpolice · 20/01/2018 20:30

Oh lucky you Simon! You don't have to worry about all of that messy stuff then. At least if you keep your cords on.

Mystifying: what are 'state switches'? Why does she need to track them?

SimonBridges · 20/01/2018 20:24

The tweeter also posted this:

So she recommends all ‘girls’ download a period tracking app.
But I’m wearing cords and a jumper. Why would I need to track periods? I’m not a girl.

Ds is three. His speech is pretty good but his grasp of abstract concepts has a long way to go. He's a good boy, and so we often say "good boy" to him when he's being helpful. After reading several feminist chat threads this morning, and feeling impotently incensed by the absolute nonsense that is the TRAs rhetoric, I passed DS a bowl of cereal and was rewarded by being called a "good boy". I instantly and militantly declared that he is a boy because he has a penis, and I am a girl because I have a vulva. I then spent several minutes sniggering at having reached "Peak MN".

Thermostatpolice · 20/01/2018 20:17

So the tweeter is female? Tongue was firmly in her cheek then, I hope. Surely she can't be serious??

irretating · 20/01/2018 20:12

I says to DH, I says to him ''husband, I've just found out that I'm a man'' and he says ''oh, why do you figure that?'', I show him the tweet, he laughs. I say ''how does it feel being gay'', he says ''I'm not. '' I say ''you are, if I'm a man that means you're gay'', he says ''I don't recognise myself as being gay'', I then accused him of being a transphobe and he walked off laughing.

He's now asked me to go in to the kitchen and help him with something but I'm settled now with my beer and laptop (chinks bottles with sophocles) so I've pretended not to hear.

DS used to breastfeed his beloved trains. Not sure what that makes him
