MB is having a little tantrum.

Not very bright, are they?

Dying at 35 to avoid middle age is surely a bit of a sledgehammer to crack a nut?
Silly billy

She’s really not very bright, is she? Er, yes, women - actual real women - do get to define what womanhood is, because guess what, we’re women!

The demand that people listen to her about what womanhood is looks awfully like very entitled masculine behaviour.

Gender roles, eh?

MB claims MB’s life expectancy is 35 so middle age won’t be a problem for MB.

I wouldn’t worry about it. MB got MB’s arse handed to MB when MB posted that stat about transWOC only living until 35. I really don’t think that many people are listening anymore.

But here’s the thing. “She” won’t. And what happens when physical reality forces itself on such a person?
It’s hard to see a good outcome there. Odious and obnoxious though Bergdorf undoubtedly is, “she” is also pitiable.

No, MB will always be 25

ThefusilliJerry · 05/10/2018 20:07

Confused by the sneeriness about middle aged women. If this shining intellectual light believes “her” own propaganda, she must beluve she’ll be one one day.
Or can middle age be identified out of too? My short term memory loss says otherwise ...

Women don't want to tell transwomen what's best for them.

Women want to tell politicians what's best for women.

Women should (though unfortunately don't) 'hold dominion over womanhood' because being a woman is a necessary prerequisite for womanhood.

(Woman, as ever, is defined as 'adult human female')

OvaHere · 05/10/2018 20:03

Nasty women trying to take womanhood away from the men it really belongs to.

WomanOfTime · 05/10/2018 19:59

@MunroeBergdorf
If you think that cis-women [sic] should hold dominion over 'womanhood' because they are the majority or because they 'will have their identity thrown into question'. Your ideaologies [sic] draw very similar parallels to that of white supremacists and white nationalists.

MB likes to argue with positions that nobody actually holds, doesn't MB? We don't think that anyone is 'cis.' Women 'hold dominion' over womanhood because it is actually theirs. It isn't terra nullius for men to come along and define however they like. Nothing to do with identity, everything to do with reality.

If you have a Twitter account, why not?

TerfedOff · 05/10/2018 19:48

Do we all go on there with our statistics showing that this is completely untrue?

TerfedOff · 05/10/2018 19:47

Gosh this is terrible.

How can this be allowed?

Hi OP,

We've edited your title as we couldn't really allow that to stand. Give us a shout if there's anything we can clarify.

Hoppinggreen · 05/10/2018 19:44

None of us Women’s business who uses women’s toilets apparently

SturdyEarmuffs · 05/10/2018 19:41

The hate is strong in that one. Of course us women shouldn't be asked about women's spaces! How silly of us to think it's our business. Tsk.
