I realise that I'm probably going to be shot down for this but here we go.

I have been having some disagreements with a semi close friend about trans issues recently.
For context I grew up in West Hollywood which is the lgbtq epicentre of LA so grew up around queer and trans people all of my life while also being a bisexual woman.

Recently my friend has come up with some pretty transphobic opinions about gender and when I lightly confronted her about them she just said It was her form of feminism. Am I in the wrong for being offended or am I right?

The OP didn't get the screenshots they were looking for, which is a ray of sunshine.

Just roe-ing over from across the pond to say that Mumsnet’s sense of humor remains a lure, even now I’ve moved back overseas.

Well I think we've guddled admirably. Wahu!!

All hake the RFFs!!

It's been a bit of a damp squid really.

Enough now, you're all being very shellfish. The OP won't make head or tail of all this. Cast your eyes over the thread and ask yourself "could we have tackled this better?" Perhaps the OP will return, singing a different tuna. I'm sure we can all get on board with that. There's no need to batter anyone with assumptions. We really could have a whale of a time without all this cuttle-ing banter.

Datun · 26/05/2020 22:50

Oh dear. The op is floundering having jumped the shark. What a gudgeon.

truthisarevolutionaryact · 26/05/2020 22:48

All codus to Floral and the early posters for using Advanced Perch and realising this was all a bit fishy. Just pleased that nobody dabbed you all in to MNHQ for going offish topic.

EmpressLangClegInChair · 26/05/2020 22:41

Well, I ought to be getting to (sea)bed. Eel sea you all tomorrow.

OvaHere · 26/05/2020 22:39

Yes Empress we are definitely part of salmon else's agenda.

@nocoolnamesleft

You lot are dab hands at fish puns. But is this all a red herring?
You think we might be being used as prawns?
FloralBunting · 26/05/2020 22:31

Someone needs to roe this all back. We're all skate-ing on thin ice. Anyway, it's late, and the OP hasn't returned, time for a bit of a kip...per.
