That escalated quickly, etc.

The only eaybthat could have been more cliche is if Ava started a thread specifically to educate us. In fact, I feel a little disappointed this is just a derail now.

SarahTancredi · 15/06/2020 17:17

Oh yes dick

Trans people did try to get them to back off. They can see the damage it was doing to the cause. But like icarus they didnt listen and somehow thats our fault.

Take some responsibility ffs then we can talk

TheSingingKettle49 · 15/06/2020 17:17

Ava, if I saw you in the ladies toilets in, let’s say M&S I wouldn’t say anything to you, I’d be too frightened to, but I wouldn’t go in those toilets in future. This is the same reaction a lot of women will have because you can guarantee that the men who want access to women’s toilets are the men we don’t want in there.

I'm supposed to be walking the dog, I'm only staying for the deletion message 🤣

Beerincomechampagnetastes · 15/06/2020 17:17

I can't actually believe that people are allowed get away with talking like this

I know, shocking isn’t it? We just won’t do what we’re fucking told will we?

PurpleCrowbarWhereIsLangCleg · 15/06/2020 17:17

Definitely. I'm a cunt & sos my wife.

Datun · 15/06/2020 17:16

I can't actually believe that people are allowed get away with talking like this, I was asked if I still have my cock? Whoever said that is a cunt and I don't care if I get banned for saying that, AN ABSOLUTE CUNT.

Well depending on how you use it, you're absolutely allowed to say cunt. It's almost de rigueur.

Although a lot of people generally say in terms of the fact that they have one.

We generally are the cunty type of women here ( as opposed to the feminine penis sort).

We’re all cunts Ava. Keep up. Grin

Why are you having a go at us?

It's almost as if it seems easier to shout at women than actually try and do anything about it, isn't it?

NiceLegsShameAboutTheFace · 15/06/2020 17:14

I am not a fucking male

You ARE a fucking male.

You may well rock a frock better than I do. You're most probably more beautiful than I am. But ... you are male.

LastRoloIsMine · 15/06/2020 17:14

I was asked if I still have my cock?

Who asked that?

I think that's a personal question and not one I would ever ask anyone especially a stranger.

BuzzShitbagBobbly · 15/06/2020 17:14

FFS, could you please give some warning if you're going to start dropping the Approved Buzzwords all over the place?

I have got to play serious catchup with my gender extremist bingo card now!

FloralBunting · 15/06/2020 17:14

🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

I can't. It's just too funny.

SarahTancredi · 15/06/2020 17:13

Why are you having a go at us?

If your greedy activist allies hadnt decided that dressing up for a stag night should be all the qualification needed to invade female only spaces when they want to then life would have continued as normal for the every day transgender people just going about their business and women turning a blind eye in the very very occasional occurrence that one of the 5000 grc owning individuals crossed paths.

This is on them. They re defined trans. They lied to you. They pushed the limits so horrifically that even the government who started this decided to end it.

Have it out with them instead.

DickKerrLadies · 15/06/2020 17:12

When I were a lass, it was considered an insult to tell boys that they were girls because they didn't reach a certain standard of masculinity.

Now it seems it's a hate crime not to.

You can't generalize erm but if the figures show that approx 99% of sexual offenders are men then you canHmm
You allegedly being attacked by your sister doesn't change that.

PurpleCrowbarWhereIsLangCleg · 15/06/2020 17:10

If you're a woman, why can't you use unisex provision, Ava?

I am a woman & I do.

LastRoloIsMine · 15/06/2020 17:10

Oh Ava see this is why I said earlier I don't lie to my children.

I am a female I was born a female and as humans cannot change sex I will always be female.

You are a transwoman so you were born male. There is no shame in that. There is nothing female about you from your skeleton to your DNA its all male.
I cannot imagine what it feels like to live with gender dysphoria and I won't pretend to know.
You have my empathy but that doesn't mean you can force me to lie to you. I won't do that as I think you deserve better than to be lied to.

Datun · 15/06/2020 17:10

I guess you're not quite up to speed, Ava.

(and I could be wrong, but I'm pretty certain Liz Truss isn't segregating places to piss based on self perceived attractiveness).

But the new proposals are likely to be supported by feminist groups, who argue that trans rights infringe women’s rights. A source said: “At the moment local authorities are the ones who designate toilet use by gender. The government’s response is going to be to centralised.

The source added: “There will be big moves on safe spaces and women-only toilets

ArcheryAnnie · 15/06/2020 17:09

AvaMonroe if "99% of people just want to pee and get on with their day", what's the issue with you using the gents, then?

The gents won't mind, you won't then be excluding women from using women's facilities, and you still get to "pee and get on with your day".

After all, there's "female predators, too". Allegedly.

OvaHere · 15/06/2020 17:08

And we are sick of you lying Ava.

If you are a trans woman as you claim then by definition you are male.

Maybe come back when you can be more honest with us and yourself.

TopBitchoftheWitches · 15/06/2020 17:08

No you are not Ava.

tabulahrasa · 15/06/2020 17:08

“Maybe there could be a rule where there can't just be two people in a bathroom?”

Well that’s completely impractical, how do you know who’s in there?... that’s kind of why they’d be not safe to start with.

But my point was actually, how can they say within the same letter, trans women are women... but a problem with women’s safety isn’t trans people’s problem?

Because they’re not denying there is a problem.
