If you've only recently 'peaked'....

No bloody idea. The gist was that she felt I was making a point by wearing trousers. I don't think she knew what she meant either beyond being annoyed I looked like a woman in or out of a dress

I do wish MN would allow editing of hastily written posts

ore = more

see: slightly pissed, above

I thought I'd peaked, but recently I've started viewing things ore and ore through the eyes of my daughter, and I've truly peaked now. My Mum peaked today, I think. She is a Labour Party activist and original 1970s feminist, and just came round for a cup of tea which ended up being half a bottle of wine and an epic rant about the Fucking Labour Party and 'the worst assault of womens rights in a generation'.

We both car out of it blinking into the light, slightly pissed and definitely, definitely TERFs

Also, being called 'cis'

Fuck off with that

Don't 'cis' me and I won't give you the wrong pronoun

@ThePinkPanter

I don't understand that. Does she mean that if a woman wears trousers, they are oppressing women?

InA

I agree. I didn't realise such a large majority of MTF retain their penis

I was always a trans ally, I still feel the same about transsexuals really . I felt it was the next step for LGBT.
There were a few niggles before. Remember that girl who stood up
infront of Barrack when he came over here and announced 'I'm coming out to you as a non binary person'?
Then started going on about toilets and other 'injustices'. Then you had all trans allies piling in, telling her how brave she was . I remember thinking, fucking hell, people have too much time on their hands, she's not even trans.
I think it was little bit by little bit, I read on here about the cotton ceiling and the transmen not inheriting.
I think I read the line on here saying 'demedicalising transition for adults, and medicalising it for children' and it fell into place.

I peaked a while ago but it was though reading on here.

My eyes were opened by reading this board.

I peaked when a FB friend came out as transgender, started wearing head scarfs and pink lipstick (he is bald), and jumped on the #metoo hashtag. Oh and when he mansplained mansplaining

I started reading the Feminism Chat on Mumsnet. Not so much a lightbulb moment as a dawning realisation that I was sleepwalking into a nightmare.

I’ve always wanted equality for women, but I’ve never really thought of myself as particularly feminist. And now apparently I’m not just a feminist, but a radical one.

So thanks to the women of this board. You have opened my eyes.

It was sports - transwomen with male physicality in competitive sports against women.

Then on reading more, the realisation that my initial view of ‘why not accept people and let them be women if they want to be’ was predicated on men actually transitioning to transwomen (ie hormonal changes, no longer having a penis). I think a lot of people don’t realise that most transwomen don’t undergo transition.

A transwoman telling me I was asserting my privilege over her by wearing trousers. Apparently as I don't have to wear dresses to be considered a woman I am oppressing her
