Caitlin Capitulates

Jesus.

So the author of How to be a Woman and How to Build a Girl thinks
woman - womb = transwoman.

Someone needs a new formula. And I don't just mean the equasion.

I just can't believe that she really, in her heart of hearts, believes that TWAW. I assume she is just protecting her career.

She's like Jess Phillips in that she gets it, she obviously does, but she's too scared of her cool mates turning on her to own what she believes. It's appalling cowardice.

She's an utter coward. I don't buy her books or read her articles anymore. Suggest others do the same.

"Accidentally being born one".

What, like those millions of baby girls who fall victim to infanticide? Did they think "whoops - if only I hadn't accidentally been born a girl"?

Fucking idiocy.

Quotation from Moran - "... a bit more of a commitment to being a woman than just accidentally being born one."

I don't like her use of the word "accidentally".

Also, being or not being a woman is just biology, not a competition with brownie points for effort.

Bet she's got that fear feeling right now, wondering if they'll come for her.

Maybe she should keep her mouth shut if having periods means her lady brain acts up.

any tiny betrayal of the TWAW creed would be akin to shitting on the table at a Soho House soiree

🤣🤣🤣

If I had a hysterectomy I wouldn't be less scared of men.
Craven is right. Surprised they haven't called her out for differentiating between non-womb having women and TW.

And it's such a tightly closed circle those media luvvies inhabit. Caitlin must have had to really dial down the whole periods/uterus/boobs/belly/oestrogen schtick that has been the mainstay of her columns and books because any tiny betrayal of the TWAW creed would be akin to shitting on the table at a Soho House soiree. She would be ostracised forevermore.

"Love to see people owning their mistakes. Sorry your comments are dirt now tho"

How utterly sinister and unpleasant. Judge, jury and executioner indeed.

She just wants to be LIKED so much. It’s painful to watch.

The ultimate disappointing funfem cool girl, I have never really understood her appeal.

Even with the grovelling her card will be marked, which is never a good position to be in.

Enough said!

I'd have more respect for her if she'd said '
It was a turn of phrase, get lives FFS'.

Having your male genitals remodeled as female, then committing to a lifetime of hormone therapy, sounds like a bit more of a commitment to being a woman than just accidentally being born one

Caitlin didnt get the memo that no alteration is required then? no surgery, no hormones, just a simple declarationof being a woman is all that's required

No Caitlin, a man who rejects male stereotypes is not somehow then a woman. We're not a catch all place for people who reject "The Man" (god is she 14?)

also you know lots of women spend their lives on medication - firstly the pill to control our fertility and then HRT to control what happens as our fertility declines. We dont get any fucking applause for that though do we?

Gah, it's just so depressing. She's being ratioed but serves her right to be honest. Time and again women say something, you think yes this is it, this matters and before you can say TRA she's backpedalling, apologising and 'doing better'

It really winds me up; I thought to myself, god forbid, if it was the other way round and you had a TW who was the victim of a horrific attack, another TW tweeted about the fear they specifically felt as TW, and got asked by a woman to please talk about ALL women, don't be exclusionary to other women.... Do you think they'd be retracting, apologising etc? Would they fuck! That woman would be strung up forevermore, it'd be like a scene out of Jaws.

Sorry, it just has got to me today. In a week that started with International Women's Day, with the exception of the FPFW victory, it has been rather a shit week for women actually. That poor woman, and her family, it's heartbreaking, and we still cannot talk about the realities of being a woman without apologising to fucking males

Oh she is pathetic. She always was a bit "Not Like Other Girls" though. I've never rated her

We all knew what she meant in that first tweet. She loves using language like that and you may not like her style of writing (I have in the past and have been a fan) but we got what she was saying 100% didn’t we? All the apologies were just sad. I’m sad for her and angry at her (in an exasperated way).

Caitlin can you not see the irony in what you have been made to do. To grovel. To capitulate to people who may feel a little penisy?? I get you need to pay your mortgage but you could have said nothing. You so could have said nothing more on the subject.

Thick as mince. To quote our dearly departed Langcleg.

anyone who wants to join the Lady Party is welcome as far as I’m concerned

Is she applying that to the trans inmates in female prisons? On behalf of the female prisoners? How kind of her.

Taking the Murdoch coin though.
