I don’t have a fish tale or arm creases what the fuck am I?

I heard there were over 200 cases of forced transvestism involving Mr Sweeney this year.

Pachyderm1 · 10/01/2019 20:29

It’s so unfair that trans women are required to ‘pass’ to be considered women. Having your gender recognised and accepted shouldn’t be dependent on how well you adhere to a list of stupid stereotypes about what women do or should look like. No wonder so many transwomen feel pressured into dressing / presenting in stereotypically ultra feminine ways.

The only creases I can see in the baby cradling part of my arms are where my elbows and wrists bend.
Are there any other creases I’m supposed to have?

Elbows and wrists can clearly perform many other functions which are great for helping people survive long enough to reproduce and raise offspring, if we’re talking about evolution.

And DH has always managed to cradle our babies beautifully with his manly arms.

Exactly spreading Eureka, bingo!!!

Robin as in Banman’s ‘young companion’?

This is getting more interesting by the minute 🍿 🍷 🍻 🥨🍾🍹🍹🍹☕️

In all seriousness though, the mermaid analogy is perfect. If a surgeon amputated my legs and replaced them with a fishtail, I'd look like a mermaid. But I wouldn't actually be a mermaid.

OlennasWimple · 10/01/2019 19:42

Just to note that dear Robin displayed his interesting views on women, wizards and arm creases over a year ago

boatyardblues · 10/01/2019 19:34

If a wizard gave me a fish’s tail I’d be tempted to make some kind of fish stew for dinner.

When life gives you fishtails, make fishonade.

welshgendercrit · 10/01/2019 19:33

What about the mermen? Won’t someone think of the poor mermen. Especially those with our arm creases. It’s very sad.

Just spluttered tea all over my keyboard. Grin Grin Grin

ChewyLouie · 10/01/2019 19:31

Ellebows define those most oppressed in society, everyone else has elbows. Had to be said.

userschmoozer · 10/01/2019 19:30

Hang on, why does Robin get a free pass from trans activists for saying only trans women that pass are women?

Purplewithgreenspots · 10/01/2019 19:29

In my innocence, I never thought about how new mermaids came into being Blush

When I was at primary school, we didn’t talk about arm creases, but apparently tummy creases meant you were becoming a lady (the things you can learn from your friends Hmm)

InSightMars · 10/01/2019 19:26

Ummmmm. This thread is a bit silly 🧜‍♀️

Yeah, I mean, come on, how can GC feminists expect to be taken seriously if we make it about wizards, mermaids and elbow.

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 10/01/2019 19:14

Eureka!!! Bingo!!! Yes!

Robin literally started it!!

BernardBlacksWineIcelolly · 10/01/2019 19:09

Ummmmm. This thread is a bit silly

that happens sometimes

i'm learning a lot about mermaids though

FloralBunting · 10/01/2019 19:09

Um. Yeah.

Totally based in science, transgenderism.

The fact that an advocate is using wizards in his argument to prove TWAW should totally reassure everyone rational that it's a completely reasonable belief...

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 10/01/2019 19:08

Clearly...Grin

hazeyjane · 10/01/2019 19:05

Ah...so that's why dh always just dropped the babies on the floor, his dead straight rigid arms, no creases see. Obviously the dead straight rigid arms of the male is so they can put up shelves and is why they are unable to put washing inside the wash bin and have to lay their pants on top....poor unbendy armed men.

merrymouse · 10/01/2019 19:05

The logic is wrong.

If a magician could magically completely change somebody's body, yes it's possible to become a mermaid.

If it's just a question of appearance, a lot of people with pretend mermaid tails are going to drown.

ErrolTheDragon · 10/01/2019 19:03

This idea mermaids have fish tails... they're scaly, but the orientation is like dolphins (horizontal, beats up and down) not like fishes (vertical, beats side to side).

They're clearly not actually fish tails, they're mermaids tails.

BluthsFrozenBananas · 10/01/2019 19:03

Isn’t there a whole thing about mermaids and split tails like the one in the Starbucks logo? It’s something about them being a more practical design for having sex with, I remember being a bit shocked when I read about it because the article was specifically referring to the Starbucks one, especially the original logo which was more like an old fashioned figure head than the redesign.
