Let the games begin...

Many would have reported the OP as a troll, here to be inflammatory. Which is against guidelines.

I don't agree with taking it down though.

Still a woman, btw. Adult human female, XX.

Complaints by who?
They don't normally do that.

Top they did say on another thread it was taken down because there were so many complaints - and they wanted to look at it.
I am a woman because I was born female

I am still shocked MN removed that thread.

A decent explanation would be great.

I am a women, I am female.

I'm fighting for my 10yr old DD to have privacy while getting changed, use the women's toilets, have a female doctor, or god forbid, use other women's only spaces like refuges.

This wasn't a fight when I was 10 - women's private spaces had been long fought for, and were respected. We must fight this.

I am a woman.

(No idea what I missed but I am definitely a woman.)

Yay MissJay people are trying to imply that Terfs are old women. Well I am old enough to be your granny, but because if I was your granny I want you to be able to use a changing room with no dicks in there, and more concerned for your little girls

MissJay, if the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world, I'm glad you're rocking it.

I am a 21 year old woman and I am furious!

I get SORE breasts to the point that they hurt when I walk. I get debilitating period pains that I have to go to work with and try to ignore.

I look after other women's babies all day long while they go to work and fight to keep their shit together in a system that is so set against them. They then pay my boss the majority of their wage for the pleasure, while I get paid minimum wage for my efforts.

I constantly encourage myself and my colleagues to use correct terminology such as 'police officer' instead of 'police man', same with firefighter instead of fireman. I could list thousands more just like these, I must correct myself about 5 times a day.

I teach my 3 and 4 year old girls that they can do anything their male counterparts can, they can kick a ball just as far, they can build towers just as high and they can play with all the dinosaurs, trucks and trains they want.

In the next few years, if I am lucky enough, I will carry a baby in my womb, push it out of my vagina, and nourish it exclusively with milk my body produced all by itself.

I will continue to spread the word that a person with a penis does not belong in a women only space. That a trans woman isn't a women, they are a trans woman. Finally, I will not be silenced.

I am a woman.

I don't wear heels or thongs.
I study science and I'm very good at maths.
I work as a prostitute.
I am a feminist.
I paint my nails and wear makeup every day.
I love the colour pink.
I play FPS console games for fun.
I enjoy horror novels.
I hate shopping.
I know a lot about cars and motorsport.

I nearly died 2 years ago when I had an ectopic pregnancy.

There's only one thing in that list that defines me as a woman - the realities of my female biology.
Not what I wear, how I 'feel', what colours I like or my hobbies.

I am a woman. And I am becoming very, very angry.

I have long hair.

I often wear heels, dresses.

I always wear makeup.

^None of that makes me a woman.

I am a woman because I am an adult human female.

I have birthed and breastfed 3 children.

I have endured many sexual assaults because of my biological sex.

But really, it's just the XX chromosomes that make me a woman. That's all.

Biology is not bigotry. We will not be silenced.

I think I have missed quite a bit today.

I am a woman.

Woman = an adult human female = of the sex class that produces gametes of the ovum variety. XX chromosomes in every cell of my body.

Not that I ever needed one, but once I had one of those foolproof genetic tests of my femaleness: I ovulated, had sex, got pregnant, gestated a fetus and gave birth.

I am a woman

I never wear makeup
I've never have beauty treatment
I ride motorbikes
I build furniture
I hate rom coms
I've shaved my hair off and also had long hair
I've given birth 3 times
I keep rats
Never wear dresses or heels
I work as a secretary
I never ever cry or show emotion

I am a woman and I'm sick of being told I should have been a man just because I don't fit into these stupid stereotypical roles.

ItsNotUnusualToBe that’s brilliant.

We do currently have a thread taken down temporarily

Threads that are 'temporarily' taken down never come back.

I don’t think I’ll have that glass of wine after all. I feel so much better after that. 😁

Still here. Still a woman.

I am a woman. And you women are awesome

I used to have a penis.... I grew it inside me when I was pregnant with my son. That's the only time a woman has a penis. Ever. No exceptions.

Nth, while I’m on a role, I DON’T CARE if you don’t have your penis removed because it hurts. Try having endometriosis and being in pain to the point of fainting, while you bleed through your tampon AND pad, every couple of hours for days on end.

Try having your womb and ovaries removed and endometriosis scrapped off your bowel, then cry that the operation to have your penis removed would hurt too much. Either commit to the trangender feelings you claim you have or you will always be a man in a dress. True Transsexuals have my respect, because they have had to work with their issues and commit and I will call them she, but you? No!

Also guys read mumsnet' post - I don't think they are trying to shut down debate.

Yes, me too. I'm not sure I've ever been angrier about anything in my life, including my own abuse. It's cathartic in a way to get angry, but also deeply demoralising to see how little women matter and how ingrained misogyny is.

Me too on the being angry. But also heartened to see how much women seem to matter to each other, how much we have in common even from very different walks of life.

I'm a woman. I was born a woman. I will always be a woman.
I was a 'tomboy' according to others and people said I looked like a boy because I wasn't allowed long hair. My attitudes were socially unacceptable for a girl, people were sorry for my mother who wanted a girlie girl and got me. I'm still feminine because I'm a woman but conform to no stereotypes and that suits me fine.

A tomboy, of course, is a girl who can play with whatever she wants, no such thing as boys toys or girls toys. It was the same for my children too, all toys were for both. A tomboy is a daft concept in my book and is as unnecessary as the current silliness going on with the trans stuff.

I am a woman and my lived experience as a woman was far more fucking traumatic than that of any man in a dress.

I was made to wait with my sister for the left overs, after my father and brothers had stopped eating because I was a REAL girl.

I was sexually abused throughout my childhood because I had a real vagina.

I was sexually assaulted by my doctor because I was a REAL female, teenager.

I was raped by my first serious boyfriend because I had a REAL vagina that he could force his MALE cock into.

I’m have men mansplaining to me, how to run my successful business because I am a WOMAN.

I had men creep around me, while telling me how to run my life, after my darling husband died, because I am a REAL woman.

Any man in a dress that has his feelings hurt, because I won’t play into his fantasy that he is a woman, can bend over and kiss his own arse, because I won’t be a fucking stupid handmaiden and kiss his arse for him. While he’s down there he can use his MAN’S cock to wipe away his tears, because I NO LONGER CARE if his feelings are hurt.
