It's not the original comment that affects me it's the comments section. I thought female erasure was a metaphor - not literal reality.

To think these campaigners are driving public policy. The comments section is truly terrifying.

If you LM blocked you see this

And I should add that all of the above means that it is incredibly alarming that LM is a representative of the Labour Party.

Like someone upthread said, I really think these people are not anchored in reality. Look at that thread. Look at what these people are saying. 'Lisa Harney' literally spends all their time on Twitter (even more than Dr Ade!) tweeting and retweeting stuff about transgenderism. It is sad and I think many of these people are very vulnerable. However, that does not make it OK to constantly write stuff that is so misogynistic and derogatory about women.

Sorry just running in, loved the nursery comment!

I have been thinking about archeological and anthropological discoveries in the future.

If only bones are left...............

The skeleton tells the true story?

*And where will the wombs come from?

As DJLippy said upthread - ROGD. It all makes perfect sense now...

NothingOnTellyAgain · 11/09/2018 16:30

Is the lack of ability of transwomen to gestate babies down to colonial binary gender essentialism?

I think it might be.

Fucking TE* stopping lovely brave transwomen from getting pregnant with their ideological stance Angry

Gileswithachainsaw · 11/09/2018 16:30

And what happens with pre term labour or god forbid miscarriage. Where does everything go? Would it all just sit inside them? Or rupture and flood the body causing Infection?

Surely it would be so dangerous

Beerincomechampagnetastes · 11/09/2018 16:30

We have to ask ourselves, where would Lily be without us?

If there were no nasty “terfs” around, what would be the outcome?

Let’s face it, if we weren’t here, someone somewhere may just ask the pertinent questions.

Like....what have you accomplished on behalf of women since you became a women’s officer Lily?
Where is the money Lily?

We are Lilys beard.

beenandgoneandbackagain · 11/09/2018 16:29

Weren't medical trials of the male hormonal contraceptive pill halted because men couldn't cope with the side effects? And they think men are going to tolerate pregnancy?

Alicethroughtheblackmirror · 11/09/2018 16:29

I'm sorry too, Letshope

And this is what that offensive child can't understand. That struggles with fertility cause real pain to real people. It's not some stupid game - a way to score points by goading feminists. Lily isn't - as far as we know - infertile. But Lily would put themselves and every male born person ahead of women.

Letshope Flowers

Agree.

And where will the wombs come from

I believe from all the handmaidens who are talking about how happy they are to donate theirs. Assume they’ve not had to deal with any major uterus-related surgery yet and think a hysterectomy is merely getting your uterus effortlessly transported out of your body, Star Trek style.

Putting it in their heads. 😂

placemats · 11/09/2018 16:26

Uterine transplants are incredibly complex and currently only involve close family members. A woman who has a uterus can get pregnant all of her life, even at the age of 70+ if she so wishes.

However, ovarian transplants - ?????? Shock forget it. It's difficult enough to transplant frozen ovarian tissue back into the woman it was taken from post chemotherapy.

The delusion of LM doesn't even begin to cover it. This is a very vulnerable person.

^Lily's how to get attention guide:

1. Say something really stupid and offensive but pretend it's essential for your wellbeing and that denial would be cruel.
2. Anticipate being mocked.
3. Say inevitable mockery comes from place of cruelty and wickedness.
4. Be fake upset by attention which you've courted.
5. Bask in sympathy from equally idiotic followers.
6. Retweet some of the comments from here (because that is coming) and moan about why won't people leave you alone and that you're only 20.
7. Get more sympathy.
8. Ask for money for food.
9. Post picture of self on holiday (again)

Remind me. How does this differ from Donald Trump and Boris Johnson?

(Plenty of evidence that suggests that Trump and Johnson are still 20 in their heads).

tinytemper66 · 11/09/2018 16:24

I have just been on her twitter account and it is full of shit! Everyone is fawning over her!
I have posted something asking the person about how it will work.
I doubt I will last long!

Letshopeitsallok · 11/09/2018 16:24

Ahh thanks Betty. I’m ok. My tone was in exasperation at stupidity, not sadness. We were lucky enough to adopt a gorgeous LO who is a delight. I know not everyone gets to be that fortunate.

Still pisses me off that I have to have periods. Bloody thing doesn’t work properly but gives lots me grief every month. Can’t identify my way out of that one.

Gileswithachainsaw · 11/09/2018 16:23

There aren't exactly great outcomes for women on life support to sustain a pregnancy to term and that is with the correct set up anatomically and help with hormone levels temperature etc

This surly won't be able to he done in men?

And where will the wombs come from..

OlennasWimple · 11/09/2018 16:23

Another thing I've said before... I don't think it's a coincidence that there are a fair few FWR regulars who have had fertility problems, because nothing brings biology home like having body parts that don't work quite how they are supposed to (in my case, a cervix that can't hold a baby in to term)

Sorry to hear that, Letshope Flowers

These kids haven't a clue, really.

It's all a bit 13-year-old Debating Society, isn't it? 'This House Believes that... abortion should be illegal/pocket money is a legal right/everyone should adopt babies and a donkey/school uniform should be banned/people should be allowed to swap body parts'.

littlbrowndog · 11/09/2018 16:17

Lols top trans 😂😂

Letshopeitsallok · 11/09/2018 16:16

Given that I have a womb, ovaries, tubes etc. all in the right place, with right hormones in the right cycles and even with IVF couldn’t get it to work to make or hold a baby, I very much doubt womb transplants are in our near or even distant future.
