If someone has female genitalia it doesnt necessarily mean they identify as female in gender and vice versa. They may identify as Male or other choices but this is all very complex so i wont start on that here. We all have opinions on these things I guess

Nobody can identify as female in gender, because female refers to sex, as does male. Sex is based on biology. Gender is a societal concept that has traditionally mapped to sex.

Anyway, you still haven't answered my question - what does psychologically female mean?

@Longbarn5
It is possible to define how someone is biologically female.
Please can you define how someone can be 'psychologically female'? How can this be measured?
Perhaps you also have an understanding of what it means to 'live as a woman ' which you could explain. So far no one has attempted to explain so I'm curious to find out.

www.stonewall.org.uk/list-lgbtq-terms

Trans people may describe themselves using one or more of a wide variety of terms, including (but not limited to) transgender, transsexual, gender-queer (GQ), gender-fluid, non-binary, gender-variant, crossdresser, genderless, agender, nongender, third gender, bi-gender, trans man, trans woman,trans masculine, trans feminine and neutrois.

Crossdresser comes under trans umbrella.

Maybe report your post and ask them lifeturnsonadime ?
It's always worth noting which threads are relentlessly targeted for reporting - and they're often those that demonstrate the glorious inconsistencies Grin

Why are mumsnet deleting posts about transvestites coming under the trans umbrella. That's what Stonewall says?

But you said it's not the same as transvestism?

How so?

It's 'all a bit complex' is a a bit of a cop out when you seemed so sure of yourself in your first post.

For fucks sake! What an absolute farce. Feel sorry for the other contestants who stood no bloody chance. How they can stand and smile with the winner I don't get. Do the judges really believe this person was a worthy winner?

A transgender person, Male to female is psychologically female and will identify as female. If they were transvestite that would of course be a different matter

I don't like objectification but I like a man taking a scholarship place away from a woman even less.

What do you mean by "psychologically female" @Longbarn5? Can you explain this?

And the difference between this and "transvestite" would be ever so helpful as well.
Thanks

Isn't Derry where all the weird shit starts in Stephen King books? Hmmm.

Yes but that Derry is fictional!

Brian won because Brian is stunning an brave and all the judges were scared of being called transphobic if they picked a healthy looking boring old women

This.

I am amazed at the hypocrisy shown, any other woman's event won by a man and there would be outrage, but because it's a beauty pageant the outrage is much less.

Not really a consistent view on being opposed to men competing in women's events.

This. It only matters when it women doing things feminism agrees with.

ReunitedThorns · 11/11/2022 18:50

Of course there's a lot of hypocrisy with this.

Imagine seeing this person in the loos after winning the event? He could legitimately say "well I am a woman because you let me win the beauty pageant", you can't then say "well I don't care about beauty pageants, but I care about this now". I can imagine the headlines "Outrage over transgender beauty pageant winner using women's toilets".

Or imagine those girls who missed out, you can't say to them "well if he was swimming against you I would have a massive problem with it, but because it's a beauty pageant I don't care".

This person can't even be considered attractive, so he hasn't won it on the basis of looks, only because of the trans card. So it's even worse than competitive sports.

When I saw the picture I had a strange urge to turn into some geezer type down the building site and start shouting…..munter, what a minger, I’d need 10 pints for that one….

it’s only what women have to put up with and seeing as he’s Fully A Woman, you can have geezer from the building site too 🤷‍♀️

I remember the outrage when Trump used to run an international beauty pageant, and he was against a trans contestant (who admittedly was attractive).

But surely this just shows how ridiculous trans virtue signalling is getting, because he isn't attractive as male or female. He is an overweight man, who has been judged to be more stunning and brave than all of those girls.

perfectly said
