The only penises I'm obsessed with are the tiny spider ones that will have been rubbed all over my washing that I forgot to bring in last night.

😂

Angry much?

Bloody hell, I’d be angry if I’d been exposed to that. Wouldn’t you be? Shouldn’t you be?

Jimmyneutronsforehead · 29/06/2025 19:06

If it weren't for mumsnet I'd never have discovered my love for penises... penii... pena?

Is penises really the right word for multiple of penis because I've said it so much it isn't making any sense anymore?

MaggieBsBoat · 29/06/2025 19:04

There is no such thing as a „trans child“. There are just children who have either

a) got gender dysphoria (aka a mental health problem not a physical one)
b) fallen prey to online groupthink (aka brainwashing)

DumbbellIdiot · 29/06/2025 19:04

Ahhh! Dissent = angry woman, the worst sort of woman! Gotcha @Manfreglory

NegroniMacaroni · 29/06/2025 19:03

OP - sadly, from what I've read on here, that doesn't seem to change much. Though I imagine it must be v tricky to get the balance right between standing by their principles whilst emotionally accepting and supporting their child.

Yes. @Manfreglory has no wish to actually interact. The thing is we have all had experience of a 3 year old yelling "you are mean" and then sticking their fingers in their ears and yelling "I can't hear you" if you try to reason with them. People old enough to type out a sentence on a public forum ought to have matured beyond that development stage, but mums have certainly learned not to give in to the tantrums.

I do wonder whether this attitude among teens and twenty-somethings is due to more of them having the good fortune to reach that age without having been flashed at, frotted against on a crowded train, or groped by a stranger, such that they really don't know why some women like to be in a penis-free space when vulnerable? Has there been a dramatic reduction in such crimes since the 80s/90s? Or are ploppers like this the ones who want to commit these acts with impunity?

Angry much?

Aah .. I needed a laugh tonight.

Thank you.

men should not be in women's spaces. Men with fetishes should REALLY not be in women and girls spaces.

Anyone who thinks otherwise is either captured, thick or has a fetish of their own.

You are welcome.

Or is a raging misogynist.

VimesandhisCardboardBoots · 29/06/2025 18:56

Its not about the penis's, it's about the owners of said penis invading women's spaces.

Kimwestonhelpless · 29/06/2025 18:55

Oh who will think of the wee willy winkies 😁

myplace · 29/06/2025 18:53

I only obsess about penises where they have no business to be.

It’s only right, penises only go where they are allowed. Not in penis free areas.

I mean that’s pretty basic. No cocks in the wrong place, it’s both offensive and an offence.

RedNine · 29/06/2025 18:53

Funny that the MRAs are always the ones to mention genitals. Very odd.

Mine is that the majority of Mumsnet are educated enough to know a social contagion when they see one and realise that no one can change sex. The rest will come to realise this over time.

Helpmeplease2025 · 29/06/2025 18:52

No child is trans

PeehS · 29/06/2025 18:51

Urgh yes all these women obsessing over women’s safety, women’s rights, women’s sports how dreadfully boring of them.

Oooo, edgy thread title 😱

Isn’t it time you packed your bag ready for school tomorrow?

GwenogJones · 29/06/2025 18:47

My controversial opinion is that most of the mums who obsess here over penises, uteruses and chromosomes would pick more important and interesting topics if men stopped trying to invade women's spaces, redefine words and transition children.

In fact, I expect they'd love to be discussing "more important and interesting topics". But the men won't stop and so neither will the mums.

How inconvenient for the men.

Sarahconnor1 · 29/06/2025 18:45

Oh you silly mummies, why don't you forget about women's rights, single sex spaces and fret about prams instead.

My kids are too old for prams what do i fret about NOW!!!!!!!
