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

A couple of months ago, around the time of becoming a women's officer.

Has someone been outdoing Lily as 'Top Trans' lately?

Naaa... Couldn't be something like that...

Oliversmumsarmy · 11/09/2018 16:14

Science in the late 2000s

Isn't that 900 years from now.

theworldistoosmall · 11/09/2018 16:13

Oh, some men will like this, just to prove a point that we overreact and there's nothing to it. That anyone can do it and it's not that painful Grin

theworldistoosmall · 11/09/2018 16:11

Thought I was going crazy then lol thinking maybe I imagined it. Was further back LM started mentioning that this was possible.

BettyDuMonde · 11/09/2018 16:11

Men ain’t gonna like this - if science gives transwomen the opportunity to gestate babies, then it also gives ‘cis’ men the same opportunity!

Who stays at home to have kids will be decided on coin flipping or short straw pulling and millennia of women’s class oppression will be over!

Thank Lily!

(I was a youngish mum when studying at Goldsmiths. An academic year’s worth of nursery fees at the on campus nursery took up my entire student loan. That was 15 years ago, bet the nursery fees have gone up faster than the loan totals).

Interestingly I watched the Danish Girl the other day and had a light bulb moment about where LM got their inspirations for the wispy voice and hand wafting that they seem to believe gives them a feminine aura...

Anyway, I did some reading about Lili Elbe (the Danish Girl of the film's title), and although the film version had her dying from complications with a second bout of SRS, in real life Lili died from complications arising from surgery involving a womb transplant

Hmm

I've said it before, I'll say it again (and again and again) - wombs are not a plug and play organ. Anyone who thinks otherwise is an idiot.

The twitter user who believes that her womb hasn't been used? Presumably she has been having periods? What does she think the blood is? (And if she hasn't had normal periods, one might think that her womb is unlikely to be a good candidate for a transplant....)

Alicethroughtheblackmirror · 11/09/2018 16:09

Red, you are right -sadly, that's much more likey!

Datun · 11/09/2018 16:07

LM periodically brings this up. They know it's not possible. Because they get shown.

It's done to irritate the grown ups.

LM has issues.

DJLippy · 11/09/2018 16:07

It's a bit insensitive for any women who are having difficulty conceiving if LM is trolling, no?

theworldistoosmall · 11/09/2018 16:07

I'm sure LM has already posted about this and was very excited about it then. A couple of months ago, around the time of becoming a women's officer. But of course, everything was then deleted because well, we all know why.

RedToothBrush · 11/09/2018 16:07

Still., on the plus side, after the first few men have gone whining and moaning through the discomfort of pregnancy and the agony of childbirth, we may get a) more sympathy, nay, admiration and b) improved maternal health care.

Don't be stupid. It'll just be hard for men but easy for women. Resources should be taken away from women and given to men for this reason.

Why the feck the women’s officer trolling ?

To get a rise and reaction. One of love and sympathy etc from supporters and one that can be used to DAVRO and create a framing of victim Hood on the other. Both feed the ego.

Movablefeast · 11/09/2018 16:03

How can they be so simplistic in their understanding of human biology? They must be trolling. You just insert a uterus into a man and tra-la! you have a baby. The incredible complexity of what is happening to a woman's body to grow a baby is missing from the discussion.

Why am I not surprised that they are completely ignorant of female anatomy and biology?

Women are parts not a complex whole.

RedToothBrush · 11/09/2018 16:01

The trans ideology just supports people who can’t succeed in real life.
They need a crutch an escape from everything.

A lot of them can't tell the difference between reality and online life. I think in some cases it's inadequacy. In others born out of some sort of trauma. But yes a definite retreat from reality is a 'thing' I'm sure. Hiding behind 'transphobia' a nice little excuse for a multiple of things, which avoid responsibility. I think often it's about convincing themselves more than anyone else though.

Beerincomechampagnetastes · 11/09/2018 15:58

What ^^ gulag said.

My sentiments remain the same, troll or not.
It’s all quite ridiculous.

Beerincomechampagnetastes · 11/09/2018 15:55

They are like a bunch of children in the dress up corner. The trans ideology just supports people who can’t succeed in real life.
They need a crutch an escape from everything. This in itself is not so bad if it wasn’t for all the morons who pander to them and allow themselves to be used as a prop in their little imagination games.
Every single one of them will self implode in time.
Could you imagine these assholes with a child...forget the pregnancy and childbirth part. They are so unbelievably selfish and narcissistic they are completely unable to put anything before themselves.
Lily is a joke and has absolutely no idea how awful her life is going to be if she doesn’t start growing up and taking responsibility for herself.

RedToothBrush · 11/09/2018 15:55

Honestly I read tweets like this and I wonder if they are trolling

It's a troll. Madigan even admitted it was set up to be a troll. Look at the wording.

Lancelottie · 11/09/2018 15:55

Confused Trans people can already get pregnant. Transmen are famous for it.

Really, though, I wonder if this generation are honestly so confused by the trans messages they're getting in schools that they think female to male womb implantation is possible, likely and indeed their human right?

RedToothBrush · 11/09/2018 15:54

Gulags will become the new shopping centres.

Buy your own womb without the unnecessary inconvenience of having it installed.

YippeeKayakOtherBuckets · 11/09/2018 15:53

Honestly I read tweets like this and I wonder if they are trolling or just thick. Surely an adult male can’t really, truly think this is happening?

GulagMilkMonitor · 11/09/2018 15:52

How will they know which women have wombs though? In all seriousness?

Gulags will become the new shopping centres.

RedToothBrush · 11/09/2018 15:52

You can bet your bottom dollar no male bodied person will have major surgery, tend to an infant with minimal pain relief, schlep across the ward for some hospital food and deal with the indignity of a post natal ward.

Here have a paracetamol and shut up.
