OK, I haven't put this in AIBU because I'm not brave enough, but it shoudl maybe be there as the question I want to ask is "AIBU that on IWD, an all girls school should be celebrating women, not transwomen" She can't remember who they were talking about (!), but the school had an assembly for IWD, and the biggest section was to celebrate ''women who have faced many struggles to gain acceptance'' and the only woman mentioned was a transgender woman. FFS, surely there are enough women in the world who could be celebrated for that, rather than a transwoman on today of all days? Any other day of the year, I probably wouldn't have cared less.......

Whaaaat! That’s not acceptable at all - can you —give them a good shake— speak to the school

I would put a list together of inspiring women - WOMEN - and supply this to the school. Don’t let them allow men to take over women’s day - it’s about women. Let us have one bloody day, just ONE.

Isn’t there a whole month of lgbT coming up anyway? And if they talk about trans then (which they will) please please god they discuss the early transsexuals (who took the leap and had surgery when it was potentially fatal) and the fact that gender is a load of crap.

That would really annoy me.
