Do we want you in our changing room? Do we want to take photos of you. Do we fuck. It's all about him. Not a care for anyone else.

Nope, not fine with it.

Clymene · 19/06/2020 06:11

It seems to be a bit of a pattern, men who don't like women very much, transitioning.

@Datun

Wasn't this the person who was fond of spouting their very own version of sexist feminism at women? And if they disagreed they kicked them out of the group?

Then suddenly transitioned? Late in life.

That's the one. When the women started complaining about Clymer's abusive behavior abracadabra shazam and bibbity bobbity boop transitioned!

The woman looks terrified, and is obvious on the receiving end of some serious verbal and non-verbal aggression. Horrible.

That's not what Charlotte says was going on. According to Clymer, although transphobes have used the image to try and 'tear her down' by claiming that the woman looks terrified, but the joke is on us, because actually that woman “was very kindly praising my work and asked for advice on trans-inclusive policies.”

So that's us told. What's the betting that Charlotte meets quite a lot of women who take on that stance, while blathering desperately about brave, stunning and do please educate me so I don't accidentally cause unintended offence as they slowly step backwards and attempt to sidle away.

The body language in that second photograph, Stealhsquirrelnutkin !

They run an extortion grift threatening to sue businesses who refuse to let them in to the women's toilets so I find it hard to believe they don't run the same grift on gyms.

To grossly distort a quote:

“Observe a man until he transitions and you will know the trans woman.”

Or in other words: If someone shows you who they are, believe them.

@Stealhsquirrelnutkin

Gosh, isn't it amazing what you can do with digital images and photoshop? It sometimes helps to have another person included in the image, to give an idea of perspective.

Ms Clymer claims women don't raise objections to her invading their sex segregated spaces. I wonder why that might be? Perhaps there's a clue in the second photograph?

Yeah, but if they were carrying their gold lame purse I bet you'd think differently.
Melia100 · 18/06/2020 22:33

Clymer was a misogynist before transitioning to the presentation and roles stereotypically associated with women, and Clymer is a misogynist after said transition. Leopards never change etc.

Clymer is worth 0% of my time other than the 30 seconds I just wasted telling you all Clymer is a dick, and replacing '*e" with Clymer's name, to conform to the control of women's speech requirements.

I bet she doesn't even have a gold lame purse, that Rowling.

WhatTiggersDoBest · 18/06/2020 20:25

Wow what great lengths a mansplainer went to, to be able to 'splain to women without risk of being told to STFU.
And, yeah, sure they were groped. And that's obviously exactly the same as being trapped in your own home with an abuser and a small baby who you fear for the safety of.
Yeah I mean what is JKR thinking of, feeling abused when she isn't trans and could absolutely NEVER, NOT EVER, POSSIBLY UNDERSTAND HOW HARD IT IS to need to stuff your bra every day and 'splain to everyone about your favourite subject... your trans self.
I mean, the two things aren't even comparable. This randomer has it so hard IDK how they even got up this morning with their penis weighing them down so much.

endlessginandtonic · 18/06/2020 20:18

Also wtf has a gold lame pocketbook got to do with being a woman?
I don't want to live in the 1950's.

NotTerfNorCis · 18/06/2020 20:14

Oh God, it's that person. Sad

Ereshkigalangcleg · 18/06/2020 20:03

Lying or delusional? I vote for a bit of both.

I'd agree, and add deliberately goading women.

endlessginandtonic · 18/06/2020 19:36

Does anyone actually know any woman who hasn't been groped?
It is a depressing reality of our existence and I'm surprised that they were surprised by it happening to them.

WomaninBoots · 18/06/2020 19:18

The public square?

I thought it was a sphere?

TheProdigalKittensReturn · 18/06/2020 19:17

In the context of Rowling's post it was kind of "here is my long and painful story of breaking my leg and subsequently having multiple surgeries and having to learn to walk again", "yeah well I stubbed my toe last week so I don't know what you're complaining about".

Clymene · 18/06/2020 19:00

You know Charlotte, I've been groped more times than I can count. The first time was when I was 9. I've lost count since then. This is women's lived experience.

terryleather · 18/06/2020 18:53

They might have bad taste Kittens but at least everyone will call them ma'am...

TheProdigalKittensReturn · 18/06/2020 18:49

I personally would reach the conclusion that the person who owned that item had horrible taste, but then I'm a big meanie.

terryleather · 18/06/2020 18:47

Please take yer narc entitlement and shove it in yer gold lamé pocketbook, ma'am!

No ,mostly we wouldn't be fine about it actually

CHARLES EFFING CLYMER. The misogynist who transitioned to get away with abusing women. Yes, Charles, mansplain to an abuse victim how much more vulnerable you are than she is. Question--are there any sane transwomen penning op-eds, ones who do not have a history of being abusers, doxxers, or worse?
