Nah. Don't agree with that. And never will.

I do quite like MB’s slacks, mind you. Very Katherine Hepburn.

The accompanying picture was a 'nice touch'.

Yeah that's what I thought. Very empowering and sassy as the wisdom is imparted.

What I have in common with Munroe Bergdorf:
We are both human beings.

But it is very trivialising to compare menstruation with gender dysphoria. These two things are in no way alike.

Thanks for that, Bergdorf. I really needed you to come along and tranexplain things to me.

"Pit bulls can have respiratory problems, elm trees are susceptible to a fungal disease. Let's focus on the the things that pit bull and elm trees have in common!"

I will try to unpack that without getting a strike.

How come someone whose claim to woman, which is based on 'gender' grounds, thinks that they can also lay claim to two things based upon SEX. There is the SEX in SEXism. There is misoGYNY. I doubt I can unpack that any more without risking a strike.

The accompanying picture was a 'nice touch'. Very sincere looking. Hmm

Yes! I should have typed ‘olive branch’ really 🙊

I like the comment from another trans person telling Begforf (paraphrasing) to sit down, be quite and stop ruining things for everyone else!

OlennasWimple · 19/06/2018 21:14

Are we supposed to fawn over MB and be all "go sister!" about this tweet? Confused

AssassinatedBeauty · 19/06/2018 21:12

What an odd comment. Lots of different groups have different issues to content with. That's got nothing to do with whether those groups both face sexism/misogyny.

And Bergdorf is busy telling us how to do feminism again. Whilst using a descriptor that many women strongly object to.

LastGirlOnTheLeft · 19/06/2018 21:12

And all those painfully stupid handmaidens...🤬

SpareRibFem · 19/06/2018 21:11

That's was no olive branch, that was MB telling women what to do again

BettyDuMonde · 19/06/2018 21:08

Wow. That olive branch was stunningly vacuous, wildly insulting and rather patroning, all in one tweet!
