This is not having a go at the topics, I applaud everyone and all their actions, I am just fed up to the back teeth of cocks! Because the TRA are obsessed with them, getting them out, photographing them, calling them female. So every topic always comes back to penis. It's wall to wall phallus. I can't wait for the day when I can stop discussing/thinking about/viewing/listening to penis-related things.

Anyone else?!

In the mean time Wine to you all.

Funny how a penis manages to worm its way into every element of society, isn’t it?

Sick to the back teeth of them.

NameChanged yes me too! The first mention wasn't too problematic but it seems to need saying over and over again since the words 'man/woman' and 'male/female' are no longer precise enough. I'm starting to sound like a cross between Mary Whitehouse and a willy-obsessed pervert. Not sure it will help me make my case.
WichBitch good to hear the WPUK story - thanks for that.

Ain't no lady in this land who has a penis.Working in child protection for 30+ years I've heard many, many terms for genitals but never a lady penis. Cock, willy, dick, fairy, front bottom, jane, mary, bits, never a lady penis.

Total, utter oxymoron.

Slight diversion but, talking to women recently, a woman with many trans friends secretly went to one of the A Woman's Place meetings. She said she felt like she was letting her trans friends down badly by even attending such a meeting. She came out after the meeting asking herself why her trans friends had let her down so badly. Just saying.

I've never had to talk about penises. I might start now you've put it in my head - oops I mean the thought, not the penis. Oh there I go, I've started doing it.

Big and little, black and white, cavalier or roundhead, take your pick. There I've talked about them without even saying the word 'penis' - oh blast I've said it.

'lady penis' has ruin penises for life for me. Those are two words I could have gone without hearing together.

WichBitchHarpyTerfThatsMe · 24/08/2018 00:39

Me too. However having spent yesterday making homemade 'women don't have penises' stickers with my DD she's thinking it's hilarious that this is how we now do arts and crafts during the school hols. We used to make greetings cards for the family, hearts, flowers, cats, puppies, meaningful messages....now we draw penises. She loves it, she gets it, she feels connected to girls and women.

It's not how I thought we'd spend her teenage years but it has given us an opportunity to talk about a lot of difficult stuff and shown her that her voice is just as important as anyone else's. So, positive in unexpected ways.

Yep. They’re not even remotely interesting.

busyboysmum · 23/08/2018 23:23

Yes.

I am sick of it.

It's nonsense.

NameChangedAgain18 · 23/08/2018 22:54

Yes. I’m writing to my MP again and having to repeatedly use the word “penis” in an email to someone I’ve only spoken to once seems somewhat surreal.

CholloDeNombre · 23/08/2018 22:51

Been accused of being obsessed with 'em. Nah, mate. Nah.

MrsFogi · 23/08/2018 22:50

It's odd that the TRA are obsessed by dicks. Men are fairly interested in their penises too. I wonder if there is any link?

FloralBunting · 23/08/2018 22:48

Bloody hell yes. I don't even really like the damn things.

IncrediblySturdyPyjamas · 23/08/2018 22:40

Yup.

I've been at this for a fair while now. Cocks - seen one, seen em all.

So fucking dull.

Sometimes you need a break from the insanity.
