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…

The police officer in a blond wig posing with a taser and a serial killer smile.

The suppression of speech, and the often violent intimidation of women speakers at Let Women Speak rallies.

Omg there have been so many
things. What happened to JK and so many women in the arts. All the women arrested for speaking the truth. All the women driven out of their jobs.

Yet campaigners kept going. Never hurt anyone. Never rioted. Never pissed in the street.

And we won. Fucking brilliant.

Nicola Sturgeon, the self proclaimed feminist, refusing to call a rapist a man.

I think she made up a whole new gender for this person - rapist gender.

we’ll always have “I was reversing into a bin” and the support wombats

Was that the same guy who was filmed by the BBC in his house doing dishes and laundry. Clearly to subliminally reassure us he must definitely be a woman?

Bluebootsgreenboots · 20/04/2025 15:57

Am I imagining things or did Alison Bailey have access to her crowd justice fund blocked at some point? If that’s the case I’d love to be reminded of the details of how that came about.

the risk assessments on whether to transfer TW to female prisons only looking at whether the TW would be at risk not whether the women would be

Thé girl guide leader posing as a dominatrix with a GUN on (clearly) his social media, and Guide headquarters insisting that he was

a) a woman

b) a suitable person to be mentoring and leading pubescent girls

The Womens’ Institute ‘celebrating’ the late transitioning husband of a group President, putting him on the cover of the magazine, adding him to the list of Soeakers ( guess what his topic was, yes , it was ‘inclusivity for transwomen’) and putting him on the National Committee.

I will never forgive them for perverting an honourable and serviceable institution.

Has he had anything to say on this? I've not read anything.

India Willoughby on Celebrity Big Brother.

He had a massive tantrum because the female housemates were reminiscing about their teenage years. Apparently they were excluding him. Although given he’s a male who fathered a child I’m unsure how he thinks his teenage years were comparable to the womens.

Following that, his cesspit of a Twitter account, & his declaration on Question Time that he was a biological woman.

He also had a massive hissy fit when another male contestant said he wouldn't kiss him.

From my own personal experience:
Arranging a residential visit for teenagers. Parents of a 16 year old girl asked if she could share a room with boys that she was good friends with, as she had experienced bullying from the other girls on the trip. No spare single rooms available and all parents agreed (all friends and regularly had sleep-overs together at home). Organisation head office said this was absolutely definitely not acceptable even with parental permission from all. On the SAME TRIP, advice from the same person at head office was that a ftm trans young person (with no surgery etc, just change of names/pronouns) must be accommodated with the boys.

@Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g the pregnant 'man' didn't know having a double mastectomy would result in an inability to breastfeed? Christ on a bike.
We need to be teaching biological reality to toddlers and ongoing from there in detail. That level of ignorance is truly shocking (just when I thought I'd reached unshockable...)

18 yr old Lilly MadDugan hounding a lesbian out of her role as Labour Women’s Officer so he could do it having been a ‘woman’ for all of ten minutes.

Then being outed as a bog standard, predatory bloke.

My NHS Trust requiring clinicians to record whether a 2 year old's 'gender identity' is the same as 'their gender assigned at birth'. So much fantasy and gross misinformation all in one go. From a health service, where you'd think a basic understanding of biological sex might prevail. Still a requirement, but I'm hoping its days are numbered.

A male comedian who had always said he just liked cross dressing decided he was “genderfluid” presenting himself as a woman when he felt like it and using female facilities while retaining lucrative male acting roles.

Izzard?

A woman who identifies as trans taking a case to be registered as her baby’s dad.

Yes, fortunately the courts refused. That same FTM activist made a documentary about the process of getting a GRC and then, within days of being certified male, going to a fertility clinic for help to become pregnant. Two children now. i saw a social media post from this individual saying how disappointing it was not to be able to breastfeed and blaming medical staff for not pointing that this would be the result before carrying out a double mastectomy at the patient's request!

Images like this - hundreds of them around but this is just one.

Or carefully worded articles about women’s health issues where there is no mention of women e.g ‘people’ experience menopause.
