TERF is fine by me. Stands for Trying to Explain Reality to Fuckwits right?

If you've read the guidelines you know you're quite intentionally breaking them.

Ihopeyourcakeisshit · 15/06/2020 16:10

If you weren't being so bloody antagonistic and offensive in the first place, you might find less of a need to 'stand up for yourself'

@Michelleoftheresistance

Incidentally you're making bit of an assumption that no one else on this forum is either a TW or parent of a trans child, Or LGBT+.
No I haven't assumed that.

No one's said you have no right to be here, they've asked you to stop being offensive to females and to follow the forum guidelines. You might want to read them, they're at the top of the forum, while you're here busy telling everyone off.

AvaMonroe · 15/06/2020 16:06

For the record, I didn't decide my sex nor did I self identify I was diagnosed with gender dysphoria by psychologists and have transitioned medically, I will stop using the word Cis but not because it is offensive but because it's being latched on to.I take it TERF is offensive too? I am a woman and have just as much right to be here as anyone else and will continue to stand up for the trans women and parents on this forum.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 15/06/2020 16:05

I hope no one reports this person's posts, as they are quite enlightening.

LastRoloIsMine · 15/06/2020 16:05

That is absolutely vile.

Whats vile about it?

Humans cannot decide what their sex is. Its biology and the sex you are in the womb is the sex you are forever.

I am sorry if truth and facts upset you but there is nothing offensive about it so....

If you'd like people to listen to your views that they're being insufficiently caring and considerate to others and their choice of identity, you may want to model that consideration yourself. Females do not have to define themselves in relation to males because it makes males happier. Females are human too.

titchy · 15/06/2020 16:04

How can someone's chromosomes be 'vile'? Confused

Carry on being offensive and your posts will get zapped. Politeness goes both ways.

You don't get to decide what is offensive to women.

If you consider misgendering offensive we consider cis offensive.

ArcheryAnnie · 15/06/2020 15:59

Ava you feel absolutely confident labelling others with terms they are very clear that don't apply to them.

Are you therefore happy with everyone here labelling you with terms that you claim don't apply to you?

ItsLateHumpty · 15/06/2020 15:58

Don’t misgender us @AvaMonroe

SarahTancredi · 15/06/2020 15:57

Please stop using cis. It is highly offensive. We are not a subset of our own sex class. Just stop it.

And the riots were started by a butch black lesbian named storme. Marsha p Thompson said himself he turned up after the riots had started .

Check out fred Sargent in twitter. He was there. You can get a first hand account

Ava

As a parent I strive to support my children, I teach them that their boundaries are important and also I do not lie to them. I teach them tolerance and critical thinking.

The trans ideology follows none of those teachings so I do not entertain it.

ArcheryAnnie · 15/06/2020 15:57

If I am to assume you are a cis woman, You have no right to speak for anyone in the LGBTQ+ community especially not trans people as you haven't walked the walk.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

< deep breath >

Yeah, no. Not cis, not straight, not arrogant enough (unlike you) to assume that I'm the only person here who has a long, long history of equality activism. (Hint: I'm not the only one here.)

So yeah, you and your arrogant, offensive assumptions can do one.

And you really haven't "walked the walk" in SO MANY WAYS.
