think its clever though because she doesn't say "all women have vaginas" or imply that a vagina is necessary for womanhood.

Yes, but TRAs will have a problem even with such a bland statement. You don't need to say "all women have vaginas" as they will assume you mean that when you say "women have vaginas". That is considered a transphobic/"cissexist" statement by many.

The reality is that most women are very happy for transgender people to live their lives and use whatever pronouns they want to use.

I am happy for tranagender people to use whatever pronouns they want. However I am not happy for them to insist on which pronouns I use or insist I change my use from their proper use to refer to the sex of the individual.

And for it then to be cut to Loaded by Primal Scream.

I don't like Liz Truss in general nor do I like the Conservatives, but I am pathetically grateful for her no nonsense approach to this whole issue.

"Women do have vaginas Nick" should become a catchphrase, I hope it does.

As a kid I used to think Regina meant vagina. I think it's a reasonable assumption. And Rex meant dog, obviously.

@BlueLobelia

Oh i am sure Johnson knows women have vaginas, tbh.

But seriously. Fucking hell. We have come to this when saying this is somehow controversial??

I agree with this too.

''The reality is that most women are very happy for transgender people to live their lives and use whatever pronouns they want to use.

Yes this. Just this. Amaizng that this is somehow being labelled as 'literal violence' against transpeople.

I think its clever though because she doesn't say "all women have vaginas" or imply that a vagina is necessary for womanhood. So not sure it moves us on.
Feel bad for that student though.

I think i would struggle to maintain my ladylike demeanour if someone called me a cis woman IRL.

MrsJuliaGulia · 25/05/2021 12:38

Go on Liz.
I feel like slowly but very surely, after a real threat over the last few years of women being censored, our voices are beginning to be heard again. I hope I’m not imagining it.
The reality is that most women are very happy for transgender people to live their lives and use whatever pronouns they want to use.
But not happy with erasing our right to exist as women.
Not cis women, not womxn. Just women.
I’m here for it.
