There have been so many issues over the last few years with trans rights clashing with women’s rights… its been fascinating, in a bad way.

some that come to mind:

A man photographed breastfeeding a newborn in a bus - and being used by the BBC to represent mothers for a story

A man running a rape crisis centre while saying he’s a women and telling women users of the service to ‘reframe their trauma’

a man saying he’s a women and being appointed to head a charity for endometriosis.

Male police officers who say they are women being allowed to strip search women.

What else…

I just remembered this one, which must be the funniest example! This guy seemed to be the poster they/them for a couple of months beforehand, trailblazing through the upper echelons of something governmental (which seemed actually to be quite an important area), before falling off his perch in the stupidest possible way.

Just remembered this and I didn't think it had been posted, when Arts Council Scotland funded a porno

This thread should be in classics @mnhq

"@MNHQ" does not go anywhere or do anything. It doesn't exist.

If you would like to nominate a thread for Classics, you need to report the OP and just say you'd like them to consider it.

Only yesterday someone pro-trans on a thread on here was saying that trans men can have an enlarged clitoris that becomes “a fully functioning penis”.

Anyone who thinks women pee out of the clitoris (or that a clitoris can be surgically altered so that you can pee out of it), needs a bit more basic anatomical education before joining the debate 😂

I have noticed this misconception before!

Not sure if this one has been mentioned. The Irish GAA couldn't understand what all the fuss was about! And women's accounts were removed from twitter for pointing out that a biological man was playing in the ladies league.

Has anyone mentioned the two men in the women’s pool competition final? That peaked some people around here.

Or the swimming event where there was a trans category and no-one turned up, thus showing that it was never about inclusion for TIMs and always about the validation obtained by shoving their way into women's spaces.

MistyGreenAndBlue · 03/08/2025 17:30

Shon Faye - enjoy your erasure. That didn't age well

But ...but ... but... intersex!

David Tennant showing his true misogynistic colours. calling women who need sss "whinging little fuckers on the wrong side of history"

David Lammy believing men can "grow a cervix"
Grow it on what David? Men don't have wombs.
Did anyone ever ask him?

"Let that penetrate"

Actually I could go on all day

I think it was question time, where the minister was repeatedly asked re Isla Bryson if this person was a man or a woman, but could only say “this person is a rapist” – and the audience audibly gasped. That was some moment.

GrandmaMazur · 03/08/2025 10:31

The autistic teenage boy in Wales who was prosecuted for asking a FtM trans community police officer if they were a man or a woman. Madness. I wonder if that was ever overturned.

Well, it looks like the library scene has changed a bit since I last took a book out.

Who is LOJ please?

Little Owen Jones in the Guardian. He’s always trying to put women back in our box, but we keep being mean and disagreeing with him, using facts etc.

A particularly memorable moment. Alongside the family sex ed show.

jess Bradshaw (j? Jess something) who posted about exposing himself in his office. And then vanished. NUS officer IIRC

the NSPCC bloke who wore is fetish rubber pants to work and liked to piss in them. I seem to remember LOJ chiding people for objecting to this one.

And yes LOJ said it was just “homophobia” that people objected to a man posting videos of himself wanking in the NSPCC building.

The raw bravery of Posie Parker shouting

at the swim meet. Iconic

She also said "I'm not a vet but I know what a dog is" to someone who claimed not to know what sex Thomas was, because she wasn't a biologist.

Watching Allison Baileys ET online & hearing a female lawyer witness for the respondents on the subject of 'cotton ceiling' - (I paraphrase) 'lesbians rejecting transwomen are akin to the regime in apartied in South Africa'

To A BLACK LESBIAN.

Thought I'd had some kind of episode & experienced an auditory hallucination.

She's a gif on twitter & one I use often😂

I'll have to find that! I've just scrolled back and seen that OvaHere did indeed mention "Repent, Motherfucker!"

I know that Fiona McAnena has written the history of the movement, but I'm sure there's room for more than one book, and if anyone else ever writes it, this thread will be a fantastic resource.
