Do people with no hair usually carry hairspray incase others need it?

Seeing as though what I was reading went poof.

I'll get a pack for DH and DS tomorrow at Tesco if it's the done thing for men to carry tampons now just in case. Clever marketing as DH and DS have never needed them!

It seems a widespread fantasy, trans women think we all share pads/tampons in the cubicles and ‘bond’.

If you’re not my sister, good friend or daughter I’m not going to be asking you for sanitary products, I’ll be rolling up loo roll as a makeshift pad til I get home/to a shop!

It's in the latest episode of Ted Lasso.

As for the thread I think it's ludicrous that Nike and Tampax have gone down this road. My DD is 25 and is changing her views rapidly as it becomes more ridiculous so there's hope.

How was it even supposed to be helping anyone anyway 😭

Handlers have obviously been in touch. They may be able to shutdown discussion here as MN areess able to withstand that nonsense, but discussion of Dylan Mulvaney is all over twitter and various other platforms and it's pretty obvious what the prevailing opinion is 🤣

Even my husband came across the Nike advert and had a WTF and WTHIH (I think that's Who the Hell is He) moment.
Hearing that he has an advertising deal with tampax just about finished him.

Thank you for starting this new thread. Shame on you MN - forcing women to lie or be silenced.

Dylan/he/him - biological reality.

highfidelity · 07/04/2023 16:26

Dylan has not changed his name, nor is he taking hormones or waiting for gender reassignment surgery. His whole schtick about his 365 days of girlhood is nothing more than an act designed to cash in on being transgender, and in doing so, is mocking women (and genuine transwomen) in the process.

Am tired of MNHQ deleting threads about this - Dylan is wearing woman face and helping to perpetrate the fallacy that being a woman is nothing more than a feeling and an identity, rather than something based entirely on biological and one's lived-in experience of being a woman.

Cherryblossoms85 · 07/04/2023 16:22

Mumsnet is probably in a bind. There is a whole heap of money and power involved here, and advertisers. I would say that biological women are not winning the argument. Maybe I'll ask for any comment saying cis women to refer to me to be deleted, since that offends me.

That little prick makes my blood boil. I saw a video of him on a game show. He’s actually sick with attention seeking.

It’s a sad day when a major sports brand uses a male to sell sports bras… and an even sadder one when a website for mothers tells us we have to pretend that male is female.

I hadn't realised threads were only allowed if they were helping someone. Do they know this on AIBU?

I asked for a thread to be deleted recently as I was finding the responses upsetting (calling me a shit mother etc)

MNHQ refused, saying too many people had taken the time to post. And if I don't like it I can hide the thread.

😑

What basis are MNHQ basing this rule on?

Quite.

Anyway, on the issue of DM - if you lined up everyone in the world in order of how likely I am to accept a tampon from them in the unlikely event of being caught short, DM is waaaaay at the end of the line not least because I'd be incredibly weirded out. I'd free-bleed first.

Rainbowshit · 07/04/2023 15:53

Because I have a mirena I don't currently menstruate. It wouldn't occur to me to Cary spare sanpro on case anyone else needs them because in my nearly 5 decades as an ACTUAL woman. I have never ever been asked for a spare by anyone.

UrsulaPandress · 07/04/2023 15:52

Still fucking Spartacus.

I’ve just seen the video of this tosser prancing about in his sports gear.

Grrrrrr

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 07/04/2023 15:49

I agree. Are we supposed to go along with the pretence/fetish when people, invariably male in all the examples I've come across, pretend to be toddlers and wear nappies? What about the 'transabled' who identify as having a disability in spite of being in good health? This 'I identify as ...' nonsense should never have been indulged.

TeaMistress · 07/04/2023 15:47

I refuse to lie. I refuse to refer to a biological man as a a women. If a man wants to call himself a woman then I will think that he is delusional but it does not mean that I am under any obligation to go along with it or self censor myself.

@UltimateWario I was being tongue in cheek! I am with you completely.

Just because he WANTS people to address him as female doesn't mena people have to.

What basis are MNHQ basing this rule on?

Is there some law that says you have to refer to people as their preferred pronouns?

No, there isn't. So why are they policing this?

Careful, didn't the other thread get deleted because we were calling Dylan (a man) he?

Maybe mumsnet can explain how people can change sex.

His Nike advert is one of the most insulting things I’ve ever seen.

He does it because women are nothing but extras in his show, that give him validation.
If a woman takes a tampon from him, he sees that as him being in 'the loop' as it were, accepted.

I would rather bleed thought my pants than be part of his self validation
