Pro-woman is just a euphemism for transphobic

Exactly that.

Transgender people are not eroding our rights as women. Although, the people making such spiteful and ignorant comments and talking about trying to stop them getting recognized as women are eroding their rights to be accepted, respected equal. Do you all honestly think that by speaking out AGAINST transgender people, you are going to be declared as heroes?

And what happened to be kind?

Go on earth can you possibly mean by 'women'.

Person says rights are not being removed from a group that they cannot even define.

🤣

OP you are completely right but good luck getting a word in around here.

Littlemeadow123 · 10/06/2020 13:36

@Anotherlovelybitofsquirrel
No, I've been on mumsnet for years and I have seen some very transphobic threads on here over the last couple of days.

For you to screen shot OP, for your twitter feed to support your argument that Mumsnet is a hotbed of transphobia...

Is being pro men transphobic? If yes, then why? If not why not?
Is being pro black people anti white people,
Or being pro white people being anti black people?
Is being pro colour blind people being anti sighted people?
Is being pro cat anti dog?

I prefer monochrome to rainbows, am I anti the NHS or anti LGBT because of this?

This thread is a load of old bollocks, isn’t it? 😂

Nousernamehistory · 10/06/2020 13:36

Every time there's a ridiculous thread like this, I automatically associate it with weetabix-related incidents Grin

ScrimpshawTheSecond · 10/06/2020 13:36

I'm not wearing some sort of invisibility cloak.

Have you got one, and if so can I get a lend of it? Always fancied a shot of one of those.

I wonder what Bunbury would make of our latest visitor?

'Pro-woman is just a euphemism for transphobic'

In other words, women’s rights are transphobic and must be removed?

Glad we got to the bottom to your thinking, OP. To be fair, it didn’t take long as it’s not very deep.

LanaDelBoy · 10/06/2020 13:34

Oops, look like my question didn't post upthread! I defer to DickKerr anyway

LanaDelBoy · 10/06/2020 13:34

OP you didn't answer my question either! Did you not know the answer?

Do you think people who subscribe to a school of belief should only associate with other people who hold that belief, or do you think they should welcome all beliefs?

ThePankhurstConnection · 10/06/2020 13:34

And what happened to be kind?

Yes what did happen to that? Well it seems it only applies to women judging by the vicious misogyny on display online so I'll get right onto that being kind when people stop being vile, threatening misgynistic pricks to me and other women.

I'm thinking you'll have a long, long wait OP.
Fuck 'be kind'

goldfinchfan · 10/06/2020 13:33

It took me decades of living to also accept that in general men and women's brains work in different ways.
If you study the language some posters give them selves away by the language they use and also the style of their language.
OP has already resorted to Mansplaining. They can never resist that can thye?

No man has the right to tell women how to think ... so OP do Kindly STFU !

Pertella · 10/06/2020 13:32

If trans rights didn't encroach on women then why do trans women get so abusive when women assert their rights?

DickKerrLadies · 10/06/2020 13:30

I'm just glad that at least some of you can see my posts and I'm not wearing some sort of invisibility cloak.

OP, you do know it's not very kind to ignore people?

ScrimpshawTheSecond · 10/06/2020 13:28

'Pro-woman is just a euphemism for transphobic'

So ... what you're saying is that the TRA movement wants to remove women's rights, OP?

I agree.

Fairenuff · 10/06/2020 13:28

Identifying as a woman is not the same as being a woman.

The first is gender, the second is sex.

If you don't see sex then you can't see sexism.

Be kind works both ways.

roxfox · 10/06/2020 13:28

It's not about not being born with a vagina. It's about being born with a dick.

Fuck off OP, you're being kind yes, kind of an idiot.

LookAtTheCahhOlivahhhhh · 10/06/2020 13:28

Have I missed it? Has @Littlemeadow123 answered this yet?
Do you believe women should continue to have all the rights they currently have in law?

Also, have you chastised KF similarly OP?

goldfinchfan · 10/06/2020 13:26

Since when has misogyny been Kind?
are you sure you don't mean: shut up and do as you are told?

SailingAwayIntoSunrise · 10/06/2020 13:25

Trans women are not women. They are trans women.

I think it's very simple. But maybe not 🤷

Instead of beating down women to believe that someone born XY is female, how about we build up trans women to be proud of who they are and what they've achieved.

At the moment they don't seem proud to be trans, they want to pretend they're not.

Jesus wept.
Doesn't go both ways does it?
No, women are expected be kind to those who have threatened us with violence and rape, told us to die in a grease fire, nailed dead rats to a rape shelter, lost us jobs, verbally abused, insult our intelligence muttering cod-science and dismissing OUR lived in experience, who make us a subset of our own sex. Trans people, you know the ones that know and understand biology - the ones that stand up for women, they get horrendous abuse just for stating biological fact and for standing with women.

What for do we all getting abuse like this? For telling the truth.

Be kind is just a way of saying STFU.

If you want respect it has to be earned. Don't demand it.

RufustheLanglovingreindeer · 10/06/2020 13:24

Thank you dick very kind

Anotherlovelybitofsquirrel · 10/06/2020 13:24

@AngeloMysterioso thank you posting that. A bunch of revolting people showing themselves for the twats they are.

OP. Who menstruates, in your view?
