Charity rejects disabled child for mother's GC views

If you think TheBlack Cat is the average MN user, let me suggest that you may be very much mistaken. Her posting style and content are quite different from various other MN regulars.

Mummmm.....
I think the OP is seeing a live action TRA car post crash

... Which kinda proves the point🤷‍♀️.

Well this thread had been successfully hijacked.

We get told to use a kinder tone a lot on here. Apparently posters agree with what we say but not the way we say it. So I’m just letting you know why you may be read as male. I don’t really care either way tbh. You do you. I was just trying to #bekind

If you use the terms interchangeably, it follows you believe they mean the same thing? And that the state of being referred to as 'gender' is in fact another way of describing one's sex? So what do you think is going on with the trans child at the camp then? If their gender is 'boy', then to you this must mean their sex is male. So why are they trans?

Queer is another version of PIE. Every significant queer theory academic is a supporter of child abuse.

Yes indeed. A strong whiff of PIE.

It is entirely disingenuous of someone to post on a board titled “Feminism: sex and gender discussions” and claim faux innocence about ‘using sex and gender interchangeably’.

I am old enough to remember so when I first encountered the GI cult I got a strong whiff of PIE.

No, I don’t get that. It’s the opposite of what I just said.

You seem to be confused between a study showing average differences in communication style, and then taking that to mean that your communication style therefore dictates your sex. And that you must therefore change your “sex” by chopping your tits off. That is stupid reasoning.

Both can be true. Make and female communication styles can be different on average. And, any individual female can communicate in a more “masculine” style and vice versa.

I don’t care what sex you are. I haven’t made any accusation about your sex. People in here have accused you of being male because of the average communication style differences that people come across all the time in every day interactions. All you can do is say “no, I’m female.” The argument isn’t going to be settled here is it? You know who you are, that should be enough.

To then say “what if that makes me think I am male and have to cut my boobs off” is stupid hyperbole, displaying no sense of personal autonomy. Which is why I gave my school example previously.

But I note you use sex and gender interchangeably, so that makes it hard to communicate unambiguously.

I would stop bothering that people in here think you are male and get on with your life.

Trite personal attacks
Waa waa waa look at me

Did you ever even express an opinion on why the staff decided that it was OK to discriminate against a child?

In this case youd be one of the idiots saying I must be a boy, you get that, right?

Blame the women and loudly proclaim that women are to blame.

Then you’d be stupid.

I was told I shouldn’t be good at maths and engineering (by boys at school who didn’t like me beating them in tests).

I was not dumb enough to think “but I am good at maths, so perhaps that means I should chop my tits off”.

I just thought “I am me and I am good at maths and you’re all a bunch of idiots if you think that makes me not female. Why does being good at maths change my sex?”

”I think part of the reason they want to blur the definition of women and men is for men to get access to children.”

OTW have form for discrimination, I made a complaint about them back in 2016. My complaint was their blanket ban on all children and YPs with ASD, with no discussion or consideration about individual needs.

Personally I use gender and sex interchangeably, so every time youve insinuated that I am male, youve attributed a male gender to me because I have a different opinion to you.

No it really isn't. Firstly as I've said, none of the usual risks of speaking your mind are here and secondly, women are being taught to be less passive in their actions and words anyway. Online seems a good place to start.

Lastly, as Ive also.said before, we haven't all been raised the same way even if we are all women. Things like culture, class and generational experiences will shape that.

A poor Black woman who grew up in Tottenham is going to come across as rather different than a wealthy white woman from Chandlers Ford.

I think part of the reason they want to blur the definition of women and men is for men to get access to children. Parents of disabled children who need personal care must be concerned about that personal care being carried out by ‘women’ with ulterior motives. She’s had enough, I don’t blame her!

Yes, I agree. Our sex impacts our life experience, our safety and how we are treated. I'm taking issue with the person I responded to accusing women of 'gendered thinking'. There are experiences and behaviours common because of sex, and these are a result of how we are treated due to our biology, rather than things we opt in and out of in accordance with our chosen 'gender'.

Of course it is transferable to online communications, not least about safeguarding which you are clearly oblivious to the need for.

I'm not saying that you're wrong overall, but this is culturally dependent and just isnt transferable to online communication. You cant hurt me from there, so even if id never use this tone offline in case you punched me, online, I don't have that risk. So you cant use my "online bravery" as evidence of a penis.

I haven’t attributed gender to anyone.

It is not just about socialisation to norms though, for women it is also about safety. All women will have experienced sexual harassment before they leave school. A large number will have experienced sexual assault. Men commit 98% of sexual assaults. Men are bigger, stronger and have a penis to rape women with. So of course women react to that in their communication style. You just need to look at the reaction to the SC to see how men react when women say ‘no’ to them. The risk posed by men to women is universal across all cultures.

Says the person attributing gender to someone based on their opinions.
