"Of course I'm a woman! I was wearing a dress with make up, tights and a handbag!"

Reddit TIM is shocked that, despite featuring all the major components of a woman (a dress, tights, a handbag, and make up), they do not fool anyone.

I rarely wear any of the above, so it is a miracle that I am ever correctly identified as a human woman.

On a serious note, I am concerned that the TRA movement, despite being based on gender stereotypes and mental ill-health, will continue to have power because of the volume of and their capacity for emotional email-writing. Do we need to write to our MPs with regularity to ensure our voices add balance and sanity to the outcries of the emperors and their new clothes?

@Greyskybluesky "Always v amusing to know they're keeping an eye on the mummies tho'. They can't resist looking 👋"

Although I'm glad to know their sad, envious male eyes are on FWR, I can't resist looking at their subreddit either. A group of men attempting a pathetic impression of us certainly provides entertainment.

My favourite of their threads are the ones where these men claim to have periods.

I don’t wear any of those things most days of the week and amazingly people never think I’m a bloke 😂

Like the mummies are always keeping an eye on Reddit and can't resist mocking them?

This isn't the gotcha you obviously think it is!

I'm totally open about looking at trans reddit, as are others on here. Some have even tried posting on it!

MollyRedSkirtsChandler · 25/06/2025 20:43

Did this person say how the police were identified as male?

Edited.

AcquadiP · 25/06/2025 20:38

Yeah, makeup and feminine clothes a woman doth make.

Boiledbeetle · 25/06/2025 20:38

I can't believe I'm not actually a beetle.

It's difficult to come to terms with that fact.

But now I have I see I've been a complete muppet!

As if there are going to be any "troll comments incoming" on trans Reddit! It's the very definition of an echo chamber!

@ValerieDoonican claiming diplomatic immunity from reality - I love this phrase and I shall be shoehorning it into as many conversations as possible from now on!

Well he clearly didn't have a bow in his hair. Everyone knows females wear a bow to show they're female. Minnie Mouse and Ms PacMan for example.

Also forgot the head tilt by the sound of it- would definitely 'passed' then!

There was a pic posted on Twitter a while ago basically saying these men in skirts give creepy vibes, those men in skirts don't and are plainly men stretching boundaries of fashion. We need to embrace diversity and disassociate fashion statements from TRA manipulation and fetish. Its those very people who are damaging any chance of that.

You look more like a sheep with flat ears and thin horns, and not a beetle. Are you trying (unsuccessfully, like the reddit man) to identify as a beetle? 😱

Wash your mouth out!

I AM a beetle!

I AM!

Am I not?

Not even a little bit?

How about a clownbeetle?

I'm not a beetle at all really am I?

Bollocks!

Now I'm sad.

I'm off to get stoned and forget I'm human!

The police officer was surely aware of the trans event going on and would have known he was talking to a transwoman.
The choice to address the person as ‘sir’ was likely a deliberately unkind one imo. He could have just said ‘it’s around the corner, that way’. It’s not nice to be bullied by a person in position of authority so I’m not surprised the person is upset.

So every time people dress up to protest, the police have to refer to them by how they are dressed?

This is absolutely at the core of identity politics. The police aren’t to know if that’s a genuinely a trans woman or stag party joining in for laughs or a man dressed up to cause trouble during a controversial march.

The police officer could clearly see he was addressing a man ( which he is) and called him Sir.

I'm totally rocking the "I'm a woman look" look this evening, however in order not to out myself the AI has replaced human me with beetle me.

So for your viewing delight this evening I'm dressed in Sainsbury's Men's dept t shirt, shorts and socks and a pair of unisex crocs.

Young lad in a knee length embroidered skirt of nil style, and tshirt, on the tube yesterday. Obviously male. I dunno, I felt kind of sorry for him. Did he really think he was fooling anyone? I mean, presumably not. So I . suppose a man in a dress or skirt is basically saying "call me madam or else". Kind of claiming diplomatic immunity from reality.

But who asked the reality based community eh?

What?

Why can boys not wear skirts?

And I’m sure @Boiledbeetle will agree that many of us women often prefer men’s clothes because they have pockets and are generally better constructed than ladies’ clothes.

Completely!

JazzyJelly · 25/06/2025 20:18

'Nice' and 'kind' are so rarely practiced by these very womanly trans identified men though @Fordian. I can't imagine why.

Op I think you are going to want to change your username, can you resist this one??

And babies -
Those little pink crocheted headbands with bows they put on girl babies just to make absolutely 100% certain that the socialisation and stereotyping will start from Day 1, and that the baby won't be traumatised by being misgendered.😡

Always the girl babies who have to put up with elastic round their little heads. Or hijabs on those little heads later. It’s the female of the species who is inconvenienced. Really pisses me off.

And are those little hairy legs I can see part of your true look too? 😂

aw shucks! Thanks for seeing me, the true me.

Last time I shaved anything was about 15 plus years ago. I can plait some bits!

Oh no! The police officer was ‘unkind’ and ‘not nice’!

Whatever shall we do?

I mean! The female state is ‘nice’ and kind’, as Reddit would have you believe.

“You must understand that it’s not a woman’s. It’s a man’s dress.”
So much for progress.

Sorry should add for any youngsters - Dave is in the dress pushing the pram and his wife Angie was in the trousers 😁
