Most stupid centring of men on national women's day

What's the most stupid centring of men you've seen on national women's day. This particularly annoyed me as it is literally centering men with both the messaging and the framing of the male individual.

I haven't got the guts to tell the person that posted it on social media they're an idiot, so will have to content myself with venting here.

It's particularly depressing because she's a bloody teacher and supposedly an intelligent person.

The Science is so up to the minute that Musky is still putting the PowerPoint together right now. World exclusive coming any minute...

(If you give us the nod Musky we can arrange a drumroll 🥁)

If I hold my breath in anticipation will I expire before the big reveal?

Here for the latest science / magic that means that when some people say “I am a woman!” they magically transform into one. A bit like the body of Christ in transubstantiation. Trans joy for all the true believers! You are no longer a small round wafer, but a Real Woman!

😂😂😂

@WinterTrees 😂

There's new science? How exciting! What an age we live in!

And ElonMusky is providing a live example of someone highlighting men on IWD 🙄

To be fair, I'm not immune to ignorance. The first time I heard the word bigotry was in Harry Potter when Hermione is talking about how wizards hate giants. In my young mind I made the link big/bigotry and thus assumed it was a term to describe hatred of people of height like Hagrid.

It took a few years and a red face to realise I had oversimplified a tad.

Something else to blame Rowling for though, eh?

I'm here for 'the science' - hit me with it

Soubriquet · 08/03/2023 20:38

Transwomen are men. They will never be women

Women have XX DNA. Men have XY. All the surgery in the world won’t change that

teawamutu · 08/03/2023 20:38

Musky's going to get a Nobel prize for discovering and explaining how humans change sex, and little ol' us are the first to hear it.

Amazing.

titchy · 08/03/2023 20:38

If TWAW, then WATW, so presumably we can centre ourselves on Trans day of remembrance? Remember 'All of us or none of us'!

Now, about that science...

Redebs · 08/03/2023 20:37

WinterTrees · 08/03/2023 20:35

Also here to request links to the Latest Science. Sounds exciting!

Hopefully there will be some explanation as to how " XY chromosomes ARE XX chromosomes" 😂

lifeinthelastlane · 08/03/2023 20:36

I'm here for the explanation.

Oh oh oh I know I know!

I follow a business run by two women on FB and Insta who make handmade underwear.

They ran an event last year for IWD where they raffled some things they had made to raise money for a charity that helps women with obstetric fistula.

Someone complained on her page that it was very "cis centric". I shit you not.

The business owner handled it quite gracefully without actually agreeing or apologising but honestly, who complains about a charity that helps women with catastrophic birth injuries being too "cis centric" ???

RoseslnTheHospital · 08/03/2023 20:32

Oh please do outline the latest science so that I can educate myself and do better, @ElonsMusky? Links are most appreciated!

Enlighten me, in your own words without resorting to a long YouTube video, stereotypes, clownfish or born in the wrong body
I'll wait .

A man in a dress, does not a woman make!

Explain to me @ElonsMusky why it's ok to self ID as a woman but if I were to walk out in public with black face saying I identify as a black woman, I'd be lynched? Could it possibly be because its wrong, offensive, ridiculous and bordering mentally unstable to do so? Ok great. Now justify trans women saying they ARE women to me...

What science is that then?

The latest science pahaha.
Husband had a pink sprinkles donut for dinner and is rocking the baby. Must let him know he has a lady brain according to the latest science. He won't be pleased about the paycut.

Thank you. You just showcased how ignorant you are. lol.

All of us or none of us? 'Men too or we won't let you'.

Fuck that.
