I am a transwoman, ask me anything.

I have been following what has been going on here and on twitter, and thought maybe it would be helpful to open a dialogue that is not reactionary or fueled by anger. So I am offering my own personal perspective as a transwoman, and am willing to answer any questions people might have, and I will try to answer them thoughtfully, respectfully and honestly.

Note: I did not create this thread to stir up trouble, I just feel open dialogue from both sides is necessary for us to move forward.

@QueenOfAccidentalDeathStares

I have been really digging the Asda White Chocolate Cookies and Cream biscuits, they are essentially white chocolate coated oreos, they are delicious!

@BarrackerBarmer

I am familiar with Miranda, but not overly so. I don't always agree with everything she says, but she is entitled to her opinions and her voice and experience is as valid as any other trans identifying person.

@AriadneRose

Can you please define woman?

MrPan · 04/05/2018 10:15

Well yes Ariadne - having a man who identifies as a woman with no 'history' on this particular site could be problematic.

and it's tricky to have 'open dialogue' with so much shit being flung around, and threats being issued.

whats your favourite biscuit?

(well you did say to ask you anything Wink)

BarrackerBarmer · 04/05/2018 10:13

Well, I'm afraid I'm already angry! It seems to be my default state these days.
Welcome to mumsnet.

Have you read the writings of Miranda Yardley? What do you think of them?

Not ever transwoman has the same experience, hence why I said it would be from my own personal experience.

Hi Ariadne. Thank you for coming, and welcome.

Do have some Brew and Cake. I do have some questions but I'll let you get settled in first...

Hello ariad.

Not meaning to be snarky or anything, but you do realise this has been done before, and there are already transwomen on mn?
