A lot of Twitter transactivists think Mumsnet is transphobic. Every time women ask for a definition of transphobic, they get blocked, so you may be confused as to whether you're transphobic or not. So I thought I'd be helpful and give you a few examples of what you must not believe, if you don't want to be a transphobe.
If you believe any of the following, you are transphobic:
- Female mammals gestate their young in their wombs. This includes human mammals.
- A vagina is a female organ
- You can find out whether your baby will be a girl or a boy by going for a scan
- The duchess of Cambridge has given birth to a baby boy.
- Gay men have male bodies and want to sleep with other men with male bodies
- Lesbians have female bodies and want to sleep with people with female bodies
- A woman is an adult human female. A female in this context, means of or denoting the sex that can bear offspring or produce eggs, distinguished biologically by the production of gametes (ova) which can be fertilized by male gametes
- A man is an adult human male. Male in this context means of or denoting the sex that produces gametes, especially spermatozoa, with which a female may be fertilized or inseminated to produce offspring.
These are just some of the basic things you need to stop believing if you want to ensure you don't engage in wrongthink. I hope this is helpful and will guide you in ensuring that you learn to think correctly and stop being a terrible bigot.
