'women don't have penises'

@mnhq I want to discuss this - is the thread title allowed?

This statement is leading people to think that feminists require males to have penis surgery and then they become women. We should make it clear that TW who have had penis surgery almost always still have a penis, but it has been hollowed out and inverted into the cavity which they describe as a vagina or neo vagina. Post surgery, almost all TW still have penises, and are still not women.

I really hope this post doesn't get me banned so I have reported it myself and mnhq please advise rather than suspend me, thanks so much.

Oh gosh, for me I don't feel safer around a man without a penis. They are still on average physically much more powerful- I am short and small, fit and strong but every man I know can easily overpower me. The thing that makes men I do not know a concern, is not just their actual penis, but the way they have been socialised and how that affects the way they see me. If they wanted to stick something in me to punish me, they will, whether they use a penis or something else. I hope that this comment is not to graphic for Mumsnet. Sorry, just joined.

I think the point of the statement is what men are able to do with their penis. Deep down, that is what I am wary of. Knowing a man has had his penis rendered incapable of actual use, gives me a measure of safety. The removal of the testicles also changes hormone balance which again gives me a sense of safety.

I'm not saying men become women when surgery takes place (they don't), but for me, they become safer to be around. But I will never know this on a non-naked person, so a blanket rule needs to be in place - anyone born male should stay away from women's spaces.

Oh dear lord. All those dicks lying like rotten sausages on tin plates and being turned inside out.

Google ‘non standard vaginoplasty’ and you will find that keeping one’s penis and adding a vagina-esque cavity below it is now a surgical option for the discerning transwoman-about-town.

You will likely need eye bleach afterwards though. You have been warned.

YANBU. Women don't have penises. Simple statement of fact.

I think it's a great slogan but we just need to explain whenever we get the chance

What about "Women don't have a Y chromosome"?
