If you like -

  1. fashion
  2. make up
  3. Love Island
  4. going out for coffee in the morning

Then don’t worry about your chromosomes or whether you’ve got a vagina, that’s what it takes to be a typical woman according to IW’s latest X post!

But don’t they claim being a TW isn’t about gender stereotypes?

Oh yes I did hear that apparently he’s biological woman now.

Does that include his prostate?

It includes his cervix, which he offered to show us all on TV.

  1. No
  2. No
  3. For my sins, yes
  4. No

I am still a woman. IW is still a bloke. HTH.

I wouldn’t pay any heed to the ramblings of a man who appears to be sat at a table with his imaginary friends, on what he defines a woman is, based entirely on regressive stereotypes.

I’m a woman and I don’t like any of the things he mentioned, I’m also more likely to meet my friends for a walk or go for a swim with them than sit at a cafe.

All these years I’ve been walking around believing I’m a woman based on my biology. India has enlightened me that there’s actually a “right way” to be a woman, it appears
that unbeknownst to me I’ve been doing it wrong 🙄

CatKings · 22/07/2025 11:41

I’ve never been asked or heard of anyone being asked. It also fits the fantasy that all women use tampons, which they don’t.

FlirtsWithRhinos · 22/07/2025 11:38

I did once ask someone, up a mountain in a ski restaurant when I had no chance of getting anywhere near a shop for several hours. So that is once in 40 years.

needtostopnamechanging · 22/07/2025 11:06

I suspect if people are asking for tampons they are doing it as a joke - not nice really taking the piss out of someone but I can get the humour

teksquad · 22/07/2025 11:03

Yeah decades Ive been having periods! and I've a) never been caught short as always have sanpro in my handbag and rucksack, one of which, which I always have with me b) even if I was caught short I would go to a nearby shop and buy some c) in the unlikely chance there were no shops nearby I would use toilet roll temporarily. I would never, and have never, asked a woman never mind a bloke if they had a tampon.

Daleksatemyshed · 22/07/2025 08:44

It's really quite sad, all these posts on X where women ask TW for tampons, it's just lies and fantasy. In all the years I had periods I never once asked a stranger, I would have asked a friend or bought some. Do they really think we believe their nonsense?

Luddite26 · 21/07/2025 22:28

I'm not really fussed about any of those things but I love looking after my daughter's children. The daughter who I gave birth to out of my vagina after carrying her in my womb for 37 weeks, the daughter I breast fed for 10 months.

I'm not sure exactly what the adult female population of the UK is or the total viewing figures for Love Island, but I bet the latter figure is well under 50% of the former. So even if we assumed that the Love Island audience was 100% women (which it isn't because IW is a fan), I would guess that the typical UK woman doesn't watch Love Island.

GenericMNwoman · 21/07/2025 21:09

Oh no! What about those poor people in countries that don’t show Love Island? Absolutely no
women In them. And the UK becomes a total sausage fest when we all become men in between series. God forbid Love Island ever goes off air!! We’ll all be stuck as men forever!!!

How did we reproduce prior to the start of Love Island? 🤯🤷‍♀️

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 21/07/2025 21:30

My actual womb hurts on seeing this nonsense.

Oh my - looks like IW would have me getting a GRC even though I have a vagina, birthed children and breast fed. . . .
I have been known to pick the odd flower and I love fluffy bunnies - I wonder if those would be enough to qualify me?

Despite my lack of breasts, and even when I was bald from chemo, I still felt utterly feminine and no-one ever mistook me for a man. Perversely, I have been told by men that I'm even sexier now without breasts and I must admit I rather agree with this. Either way, with or without, am not only feminine but am female too. An adult human female - a woman. It does not matter what surgeries I have had nor the fact my body no-one longer produces female sex hormones (am not allowed HRT either), I am still a biological woman. It is in every cell in my body and every movement I make. No-one could ever sex me incorrectly.

This is what I find so maddening by many TRAs and TiMs, they rely on reductive stereotypes about what a woman (and man) is. This really isn't a surprise given what makes us woman is so much more than our DNA, genitals and appearance. As natal females, our entire existence is shaped by our biology. No man can know what this is like or what it means, and why someone like Jonathan India is convinced it appropriation of womanhood is more accurate than many actual women. Only a man can put on a dress, get breast implants, take oestrogen and have surgery to disguise their male pattern baldness and say with utter conviction that they woman better than JKRowling, Helen Joyce, Kathleen Stock et al. And not only that, that their own biology has changed 😂

TWAW and the belief that humans, usually men, can change sex, is one of the greatest cons of the 21st century. It truly is the ultimate male privilege.

I was showing off my biceps at the weekend. Where does that fit on the womanhood scale?

He wants to be her. He is jealous of her wealth, her talent, her influence and her being an actual woman. He obsessively retweets and responds to everything she posts. He even calls her his sister and asks her to go with him to get nails done.

When a man behaves how he thinks women behave, it can come across as really creepy. I don't think he's aware of that so he keeps doing it.

JohnTheRevelator · 21/07/2025 17:47

Well,I must be a man then. I have little interest in fashion, zero interest in make up,I can't stand Love Island and I prefer going out for coffee in the afternoon.

GC5 · 21/07/2025 17:40

I don’t like 3 of the 4 things on the list. Thank goodness a man has come along to remind silly little women like me what a woman really is. Will hand in my woman badge ASAP.

TRAs do make me laugh. He mentioned the one that writes books in his video but when JKR responded, all his flying monkeys posted “OMG. She’s obsessed with you”!!!
