I know it's from the Daily Mail, but I can't find anyone else reporting on it. I've never seen a woman tell a man to "take it outside" or aggressively kick a display down because they've accidentally been called "sir"... (hope the link works).

But then there are the blokes who if you called them "miss" might thump you, so you're fucked either way really.

So is any guy now a potential lady
Should we be calling all guys mam
Just in case they kick off bigly

Since they’re all so very angry, I agree that reverting back to cross dressers is the correct terminology.

Cross cross dressers vs not cross cross dressers will help them to align with whichever group they fit and no one can be accused of transphobia. Looking fwd to the video of a six footer built like a brick shithouse screeching I’m a cross, cross dresser and wrecking a shop whilst trying to flounce.

Sex remains as it is and gender can be dropped like the deadweight it has become.

Maybe they’ll start a campaign for kids using that brilliant group kriss kross 😂 there’s a whole new world out there!

I had a similar thing happen in a group of people I was interacting with. When I debriefed with the appropriate people it turned into a session on how I needed to respect that man's gender choices and not how his behaviour was inappropriate in the context it was.

AngryAttackKittens · 29/12/2018 12:14

Well, that's definitely how most women I know act when someone in a shop annoys them!

Hmm

Doesn't fit their narrative funnily enough does it?

That Titania McGrath twitter site is brilliant! I've just wasted spent the best part of an hour reading it. She (or he? who's to know) has some brilliant take-downs of some of the nonsense spouted on twitter. I'm a bit worried that so many thousands of people clearly thought her tweet was for real - it shows how utterly ludicrous the TRAs' position has become when you can no longer distinguish what's meant in all seriousness from what is satirical.

I would be shocked if the Albuquerque (in the state of New Mexico in the US) police even investigated. It's an extremely violent city, and their law enforcement is fairly taxed by all of the other crime. And, it's pretty liberal, so my hunch is that this lovely "lady" would have public support.

If a picture is worth a 1000 words then a video clip has got to be worth at least a million, a few more video clips like that and everyone will get it

Men are getting there but they are still not really getting it

The general public is a year or two behind this forum, it's going to take them a long time to catch up. It's not their fault it takes years to educate and inform people what is going on.
This is true for both men and women who are only now just starting to learn what is happening.

charis · 29/12/2018 11:28

I did see (again, football forum) a story of a man identifying as a woman to easily pass a police fitness check. Men are getting there but they are still not really getting it and it's infuriating me tbh. How many rapes / lives will it take?

Wordthe · 29/12/2018 11:26

I think we should go back to calling it cross dressing, we could have MCDs and FCDs

Wasn’t Hoover a cross dresser? I don’t believe he thought he was a woman. Maybe it’s more acceptable these days - but how 👗 = 👩 I will never know.

Datun · 29/12/2018 11:11

I am constantly amazed at the number of men who are more than happy to announce that they are trans. Is it an indication that there are far, far more cross dressers than anyone thought?

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 29/12/2018 11:11

My services niece beat all the men on her training class and won the award for top marks (yes even the physical which she did the same as the men).

Datun · 29/12/2018 11:10

I agree. I think the theory is that the shame their penchant for getting turned on by wearing women's clothes causes, has to be countered by being more 'masculine' in real life. Hence the very masculine occupations, military, male sport etc, fathering children, etc.

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 29/12/2018 11:09

When I was a teen I had a very short hair cut (as was the fashion in the 80s) and wore 501s and DMs. I was asked ‘excuse me son. Can I get by?’ by little old lady in Holland and Barrett.

Should I be seeking trauma counselling and should I have offered to take her outside and whallop her? No I just sniggered and said ‘a-right missis’.

Beagadorsrock · 29/12/2018 11:06

DIdn't a poster in another thread say that in her partner's unit someone had declared to be tg so as to have a lower bar to pass the physical?

There is a name floating around at the moment, but it's not 100% certain.

I wonder what the connection is then between military service and the inclination to be transgender?

Datun · 29/12/2018 10:43

But they are raising interesting questions about transgenderism and the high incidence of ex-military people involved, which is a curious avenue to think about.

Well quite. The number of men who have been in the military, particularly late transitioners is phenomenal. Also, how many of them are in IT. Take a look at the trans-widows thread, it's extraordinary.

Many women have long noticed these characteristics coming together. The anime profile pic, is another one.
