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?

It's just another version of the way many men seen to think if they can find a logical reason that a woman's "no" is invalid that means she has to sleep with them.

"I'm biological and my passport says female so I am a biological female!" and biology disappears in a puff of logic 😂

India dear, you know very well what biological female means, you know very well that you are not one, and finding ways to reread words to make them say something else doesn't change in reality one single teeny tiny biological cell of you from a biological man to a biological woman.

Don’t forget he keeps posting a screenshot of a DM headline about a woman with Swyer’s Syndrome (so XY) giving birth as some kind of proof that XY people can be female - all the whilst neglecting to mention that (1) it’s a v rare condition (2) there had been a lot of treatment involved to create a functioning uterus (3) an embryo from a donor egg was implanted and (4) birth was by c section.

But you can't just dismiss the odious ones as not being trans.

When women complain about trans identified men in female spaces the TRAs and be kinders insist that "transwomen" aren't a danger or a problem and all the trans people they know are lovely.

When you supply examples of trans identified men causing problems the refrain is usually that those are not genuine transwomen.

Deciding whether someone is or is not "genuinely trans" based on their behaviour allows people to hand wave away the risks to women.

I also struggle with this logic. We are told by the MRA's that gender identity is something an individual feels inside and no-one else can tell someone how they feel or how they identify. But as soon as an Isla Byron comes along it's then fine to say but he's not a genuine trans.

We are either to believe people or we are not. I personally don't care who's "genuine trans" or not as they are all men.

It must be the saddest of lives if your biggest thrill is using a public toilet.

It's not really about whether he's genuinely trans or not. Just that he's an odious cunt. I respect trans people who identify as trans but know they are not the opposite sex and never will be.

He's 60 later this year

What do you think makes him not a genuine transperson?

Now, now wims. I thought we'd taken a vote and decided that Windy was going to be the FWR president/goddess and the woman we all aspired to be.

How are we supposed to worship the Windy if we criticise Him or fail to follow Him in any way?

FFS, call yourselves feminists when you are tearing down the ultimate woman?

If only we all had the balls to be as womanly as Windy

Bog standard woman.

Charming. WI is the real thing, then? Standards have slipped!

Alucard55 · 20/07/2025 22:39

If I'm following the logic correctly you'd be a trans man.

Glad to know. I don't think I am, however. I know a lot of biology.

CatKings · 21/07/2025 09:19

The person most aware he isn’t a woman is India himself. I suspect he wanted to transition and he thought he would be having ‘heterosexual’ relationships with men. He probably thought his career would take off as a female presenter.
Now he makes videos on his phone and lives with his mum.

Iirc some of them do actually like wolf whistling etc. Though maybe that’s the subsection who for some reason crave validation.

Oh yes. I put crude specifically to separate the wolf whistle from shouting crude sexually agressive suggestions.

Unfair on bunnies. I’m pretty sure they understand the sexes, unlike IW.
It really is remarkable someone can put together the 3 words ‘naturally biologically female’ without apparently understanding what any of them mean.Confused

Bearing in mind bunnies are 'at it like rabbits', I've no doubt that bunnies are quite knowledgeable re the sex of other bunnies! 🐰

Apart from being a really weird video to make generally, wouldn’t that be a SUPER weird video to make if you had a friend sat at the table with you?

Hands up who doesn’t believe he really is having coffee with friends… ✋✋

FlirtsWithRhinos · 21/07/2025 08:57

Yep, that's not a bug it's a feature. Playboy bunny is definitely within the broad church of references amd influences that is Fluffbunny.

Fluffbunnies like to be sexually objectified. It validates them. But it has to be the type that puts them on a pedestal not the type that shouts crude things in the street (Fluffbunnies don't realise it's all the same thing underneath. Critical thinking and uncomfortable thoughts are not Fluffbunny.)

Buns do go well with coffee. But bunny sounds rather Playboy.

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”!!!

He’s desperate, always. Posting his euphoria about using a public toilet (& we all know where the euphoria comes from). Although apparently being secure that he’s a biological woman, because he takes his surgically & chemically altered body out for coffee & let’s it watch Love Island.

FlirtsWithRhinos · 21/07/2025 08:04

Honestly, I think it would be great to have a special word and identity for the people of both sexes who like girlie stuff to bond under. It just shouldn't be any of the words that are associated with the female sex. (Including "girlie")

"Fluffbunnies" would be a good one.

I think I'm going to call people who cleave to and enjoy and feel self - actualised by the softer pinker side of late capitalism "fluffbunnies".

Girl -boss -> Bunnyboss
Girlie spa day -> bunny spa day
Meeting the girls for coffee -> meeting the buns for coffee

Instead of talking about ones feminine side, talk about ones fluffbunny side.

Yes, I think this will work :)

EmpressaurusKitty · 21/07/2025 06:47

When JKR organised that lunch, India really seemed to struggle with the fact that some of the women had very short hair & no makeup & were wearing trousers. And yet they counted as women & he didn’t.

ChaToilLeam · 20/07/2025 18:00

Another one here who just isn't womaning properly according to IW. Hoever, I'm a woman and he's not, so still ahead despite my lack of interest in Love Island.

My husband loves love island. He’s also quite into fashion. And coffee. Wait until he realises he’s 75% woman.
Of the list, I do wear makeup so by his criteria, I’m 25% women. Still, all is not lost, between us, we are 100% one woman.
Phew.

murasaki · 21/07/2025 00:52

India was very careful there to imply he'd broken the law without actually saying so.

tartyflette · 21/07/2025 00:50

WallaceinAnderland · 21/07/2025 00:41

Just India, posting about the womanly things he does, as usual. Nothing weird about that. No. No siree

Omg, I 've been womaning all wrong! The only feeling i get after using a loo is relief.
How can I get these thrills please?

PractisingMyTelekenipsis · 21/07/2025 00:27

JKR is only 5ft 4? Don't know why I'm surprised, she just always looks taller.

The bad news for Indie is that makes her very much an average woman.
