Now Miranda! How do you know Christine is not a secret admirer? You could well be the cause of rivers of mascara now. Cruel person! Grin

Oi. I can disassemble and assemble rifles blindfold. Grin It’s a perfectly ladylike occupation, I’ll have you know.
And kittens BITE!
I’ve had that chat w British tg before though. The GRC is to blame as it cements stereotypes. I’ve had lengthy convos trying to explain that giving up won’t make you a woman - and why would you give it up if you enjoy it? The answer is always fear that the GRC won’t happen unless they comply fully with feminine stereotypes.
It’s a shit show all round. There is a small part of me that is in favour of the US recognizing that hobbies don’t delineate sex. But largely it’s an irrelevance, as changing sex is an impossibility.
Life is weird.

‘I’m going to do 400 tweets about why Miranda Yardley is an obsessive abusive stalker’.

I just can’t get you out of my head...

AngryAttackKittens Even a woman having a mould biscuit crumb would be too much for some of them.

If women have any cake we're oppressing TRAs by eating it. Even if we only get a small nibble, still unfair and deserving of punishment.

iamawoman · 28/05/2018 14:18

We could call it twatter😀

spontaneousgiventime · 28/05/2018 14:17

Cake, eat it and eat everyone else's cake is certainly a TIM attribute. I've read it over and over. They should do an Olympic discipline in it, gold every time.

AngryAttackKittens · 28/05/2018 14:16

The best one was the transwoman who claimed they became a Navy Seal in an attempt to fit in, "pass" as a proper man, etc.

Do you have any idea how hard it is to become a Navy Seal? I mean, it's not exactly getting a boring haircut in the hopes that you won't stick out too much/

NotTG · 28/05/2018 14:14

Yes.

“How did you know you were a woman?”
“I’ve always loved pink and kittens and knitting!”
“Oh...that IS a pretty convincing arguement. I see here that you also rebuild engines and can break down and reassemble numerous rifles while blindfolded?”
“I was forced to do these things to try to fit in!”

And yet somehow, no male socialization.

Magic.

Just had a look at your tweets and you seem to have a rather unhealthy obsession with Miranda. You should really consider backing off trolling him.

And back off using this board to do it.

AngryAttackKittens · 28/05/2018 14:05

The fixation this particular person has on Miranda is a wee bit creepy.

spontaneousgiventime · 28/05/2018 14:02

I've noticed on USA trans websites, the TIM's are all into welding, flying planes, hot rods etc. Stereotypical men's things. Now I would love to see women do these things, but they were also what they did when presenting as men. Some of the stuff I've read involves heavy lifting and a decent amount of muscle mass. They still do it with Oestrogen, yet claim to lose muscle mass when they want to take over women's sport.

NotTG · 28/05/2018 13:59

Yes. TW are men, and some of the TW I’ve run into are the most stereotypical men. Lots of military/gun loving/law enforcement types in the mix. Always struck me as higher than the average

ErrolTheDragon · 28/05/2018 13:56

NotTG - well, with you and Miranda on this thread we definitely can say 'TW are men'.

spontaneousgiventime · 28/05/2018 13:55

ChristineHart It's an impossibility that it's you then, eh? Wink

ChristineHart · 28/05/2018 13:51

It seems terribly ironic how m*n who claim to be women have absolutely zero empathy with actual women.

More a case of some women using another woman's plight to further a certain agenda.

AngryAttackKittens · 28/05/2018 13:49

Yeah, I saw it. If that dude hasn't been banned but Miranda has, well, that's a pretty clear statement of corporate policy that tells us some things about Twitter as an organization.

Would be interesting to see how many TRAs work there.

I’m a transsexual. I am a man. I fathered children. Not all kids have a father that is active in their lives. My kids do. I will not take that from them because of my selfishness.

I am a transsexual. I will never be a woman. I spent years of one on one therapy to learn to not hate myself and accept who I am.

I am a transsexual. I am also a spouse, a sibling, a child, a parent, a neighbor, a coworker, a pet lover, a book lover and on and on. None of these things define me. They are all parts of my whole.

I am a transsexual. I have peace in my life. I have love in my life. I have happiness in my life.

Saying “TW are Women” is not a ‘positive statement of fact’ for me. It goes against hundreds of hours of therapy that got me to this place of peace.

I am a transsexual. I am real. I am not the only one with these feelings.

Allowing “TW are Women” while not allowing “TW are men” is an attack on us.

If statements of fact as we see them about 3rd parties off of MN aren’t allowed,”X is a man”, then the only fair option isn’t selective censoring, but no statements about 3rd parties.

Do 'TERFs' post tweet things like this Christine?

Did you see the first tweet I posted AAK? I'll post it again because it's deeply shocking.

AssignedPuuurfectAtBirth · 28/05/2018 13:39

Agreed Ferm. Also, every time I was suspended, I appealed, so an actual human being look at the tweet and said I was being hateful. For recognising biology. I was not transphobic because I am not transphobic. But twitter tells me to shut up for discussing the erosion of meaning of words that describe my biological reality

AngryAttackKittens · 28/05/2018 13:38

So saying a male person is a man is a hate crime, but making racist comments to a victim of FGM is all good? Ah, Twitter, where logic and decency go to die.
