See, I naively thought that medical transition wasn’t a requirement, that it was literal violence to point that out in the case of Lily Madigan. But apparently it seems you do have to medically transition- otherwise you’re just a faker and a bullshitter. Well, if you were born female, in any event.

Meanwhile Lily lands women’s officer job without a single hormone taken.

Reading that thread I think Oflang may have watched a bit too much X Files back in the day.

TheProdigalKittensReturn · 06/10/2019 19:35

Oflang is covering Oflang's brows with Oflang's fringe so maybe the advice was partially taken on board.

(To be fair, Oflang is far from the only person suffering from Sharpie brow syndrome. Instagram is full of them.)

EmpressLesbianInChair · 06/10/2019 19:35

I notice Oflang posts carefully selected screenshots instead of linking to the thread. I can't imagine why when it's such an entertaining one. It's got socks, trans-speciesism, evil twins & everything!

Joss has an imagination as fervent as Joss’ scousebrows.

Joss trying to be inspector Prioriot and clutching at straws

This is so funny as it couldn't be further from the truth!

She's only got dogs as far as I can find out but apparently Harry's owl Hedwig self ID's as a cat. waterfordwhispersnews.com/2018/10/13/jk-rowling-confirms-hedwig-self-identified-as-a-cat/

TheProdigalKittensReturn · 06/10/2019 18:30

I've decided to split the difference between my secret identities. Does Jo Rowling have a cat?

BeMoreMagdalen · 06/10/2019 18:30

Oflang's eyebrows done by sharpie 🤣😂🤣😂😂

KatvonHostileExtremist · 06/10/2019 18:26

Ha! A glorious thread!

Firstly, I get really cross with oflang for continuously ignoring my helpful links to the mumsnet pages on making your eye brows look less like they've been felt tipped in by a toddler. I mean Oflang spends all day hanging round being offended etc, you'd think they'd make use of the excellent shared knowledge:

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/style_and_beauty/782164-How-do-I-get-those-perfect-eyebrows

Also, I would like to state for the record that I actually am (identifying as) the quite brilliant Oxford professor Selina Todd. I know many of you might have suspected this as I am clearly a genius, but I feel it's important to share.

Detransition: The Failure Of the Transgender Movement

How has what was once a relatively safe process become a harmful fad? When I transitioned, the rate of regret was less than 2%. Today that number is skyrocketing.

TheAlternativeTentacle · 06/10/2019 18:08

Taxi drivers and bikers have always hung onto my every word, committing evil acts on my very behalf.

Are you lot saying that your local taxi drivers and bikers aren't?

Did they not get the memo? What the fuck is going on?

Waterl00 · 06/10/2019 17:58

There are a lot of TRAs working at tech companies, maybe they think Elon Musk will automate it for them.

They do seem to be moving at high speed with no hands on the wheel..

FWRLurker · 06/10/2019 17:57

“I’ve nevwr been comfortable being a girl, I think I might be trans”

TRAs: you’re definitely trans welcome brother!

“I am not sure about hormones or surgery, but I identify as a trans man”

TRAs: “don’t worry you’re as trans as anyone, policing appearance is wrong, U R valid!”

“Actually I don’t think I’m trans I think I just hated my body and misogyny”

TRAs: U were never Trans GTFO lying scum

It does make you wonder who’s supposed to drive the free taxis they keep wanting, doesn’t it?

LangCleg · 06/10/2019 16:30

Was I meant to be cringing in terror?

No. Reclining on your (antique and very expensive) laydee's fainting couch, while calling for your sal volatile (prescribed by your equally expensive private therapist).

Obvs.

TheProdigalKittensReturn · 06/10/2019 16:19

I used to ask the lads on bikes on my auntie's estate to bring me stuff back from the chippie. Was I meant to be cringing in terror?

LangCleg · 06/10/2019 16:17

Didn't that woman talk to teenage boys on pushbikes?

Yep! "Lads on their bikes" to be precise.

But of course, in the fevered imagination of the trans privileged bourgeois "activist" - what else could working class young men living on an estate be but feral, violent subhumans?

Waterl00 · 06/10/2019 15:53

And Beeeee...(former mumsnet poster that ran away when women did not agree) is now saying this:

@Donna_Beeeee

Replying to @dall_giovanni @DebbieHayton and 5 others
Being the other sex is decided by society, not by a piece of paper.
Transition is a process of achieving social acceptance as a member of the “opposite sex”. Success depends on that acceptance.
Self ID is a bureaucratic process for getting paperwork changed.

So, as the majority of society accepts that being the "opposite sex" is impossible then "transitioning" is the only state possible to acheive.

TheProdigalKittensReturn · 06/10/2019 15:43

I remember this! Of course the young lads on their bikes have somehow all become a more threatening version of Lemmy in Fae's retelling.

TemporaryPermanent · 06/10/2019 15:41

Bikers? Didn't that woman talk to teenage boys on pushbikes?

Surely 'bikers' even if technically accurate suggests people on motorbikes, or even seeks to trigger mental associations with motorbike gangs?

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 06/10/2019 15:39

Well some languages some use them so tough shit! I get called ‘he’ sometimes by some relatives but don’t faint or call my lawyer.

ArnoldWhatshisknickers · 06/10/2019 15:36

A Fair Play for Women leafleter from Moss Side talked to some blokes in her area.

Yes, that's the one I was thinking of but don't recall any particular emphasis on bikers or taxi drivers.

The whole trans privilege movement is deeply classist though. Never the least consideration for people who aren't university educated, much less those with poor literacy skills, learning disabilities, English as a second language. If they did they would realise how unreasonable it is to berate people for using correct sex pronouns for a start. The thought that many people would find this a struggle simply never enters their pampered heads.
