Pretty shocking but it seems they think they're right.

Nobody would say that unless they believed in gender identity.

JellySaurus · 31/08/2025 17:35

If someone was referring to me and said "he said", it would be fine for me to say that those aren't my pronouns because I am a woman.

Nobody would say that unless they been never in gender identity. Any ordinary, rational woman would simply say "I'm a woman" without any of the 'my pronouns' nonsense.

'My pronouns' - what complete and utter nonsense. My pronouns are the ones I utter about myself. Telling other people what pronouns to use, particularly telling others to deny the evidence of their senses and use incorrect, wrong-sex pronouns, is nothing more than coercive control.

Given women such as Myra Hindley and Rose West, sadly we shouldn't tell our daughters to put themselves into a vulnerable situation with women either.

Those two are the exceptions to the rule, 98% of sexual crimes are carried out by men.

Cor

it appears that ‘making a fuss’ is such a heinous crime that to avoid it you should put your child in a situation where spaces that are single sex for the preservation of privacy, safety and dignity may summarily be made mixed sex, and where moreover those In positions of power over your child may lie to them and encourage them to ignore their own instincts about the sex of those they interact with.

who knew that making a fuss was so bad?

It’s just another way of isolating women and children and stripping away their rights, just be nice, kind, don’t upset people etc etc. It’s a gift to every predatory man out there.

Feminism is about equity for women - not about spouting hate - so maybe you're the person who's in the wrong place.

None of what you've just said actually has anything to do with feminism - this is akin to religious people using outdated texts in order to persecute gay people...but you'd probably think that was reasonable too 🤦🏻‍♀️🙄

I will never remove myself from a place that is in dire need to perspective and education- because ignorance will not be bliss, it will be harmful.

So jump down off your soapbox until you've got something sensible to say.

Equity for female people.

The clue's in the name.

I'm simply not defending this parent making her child's chance at respite and recreation about her views.

She was making it about her child’s safety, which is what any parent would and should do. Imagine believing that there are acceptable circumstances when you would allow and validate strangers either lying to your child, or telling your child to lie. Unbelievable. This ideology rots people’s brains.

Dont make these sort of illogical leaps. It insults us all.

This is a quote from an exact case that happened. It's not an illogical leap. It was a real life example of how a woman was gaslit into believing she couldn't have been raped on a hospital ward as there no men present. She was raped by a trans woman aka a trans identifying male which they established after watching the CCTV footage.

Well we do have pronouns that are appropriate for us and those may need clarifying at times. Especially today, in the ways we communicate, it may not always be clear whether someone is male or female. Such as right now online.

If someone was referring to me and said "he said", it would be fine for me to say that those aren't my pronouns because I am a woman.

‘Especially today, in the ways we communicate, it may not always be clear whether someone is male or female. Such as right now online.’

It funny, because right now, I’m not actually finding it unclear at all. It seems pretty obvious.

So if a crossdressing man tells a child that he is a woman, the child should just accept it?

Seriously, can you not see any problems with this?

There are so many red flags with that poster, it must be a wind up.

Likely because the ward list said there were only females and nobody checked beyond that. I see that more like someone saying that it was an Irish man but as everyone listed was born in England, they assumed there was nobody Irish on the ward and ignored the fact that someone had emigrated to Ireland as a child.

You think the medical staff didn’t know there was a man on the ward? Sure. Absolutely. Definitely. I mean, there’s just no way to tell is there?

I dont think that works because we do all have pronouns. It is the mother's view that his pronouns should be obvious because he's stated his gender.

It would be more like a Christian camp asking attendees if they believe Jesus is the son of God and a parent asking if they're really asking a Christian child that question because they think that belief is fundamental for Christians. Which most do, there are some fringe denominations where it isnt as important.

Do we all "have pronouns"? The pronouns that you use about me are your pronouns as far as I'm concerned - they will normally be used by you automatically without conscious thought, based on what you know and have observed. As you haven't seen me and probably haven't seen my (too) many previous posts, I'm guessing you don't have any information about my sex or any gender identity I might have. So if you were to say to a friend "that ROGC on Mumsnet is talking rubbish, [insert pronoun here] is really annoying", you would either guess "she" or "he", or use the singular "they" that people tend to use when they don't know which pronoun to use. In my opinion, any of those choices would be perfectly reasonable.

If you saw me or a photo of me, you would undoubtedly use "he" as in my case that is totally obvious. You would not use "he" because my pronouns are "he/him", but as a convenient usage of language; if you consciously thought which pronoun to use, it would be entirely your choice - unless I put pressure on you to use what I would like you to use. But your pronouns to refer to me do not belong to me, they belong to you. You are not borrowing "my" pronouns, you are using your pronouns, your words, your language.

Actually if you look at the suicide rate for trans teens you'll see that it is a very real issue - and minimising it just because it doesn't suit your agenda is disgusting. Having worked with children within mental health it's heartbreaking to see how people like you make these kids feel - you're an awful human being if you think that's ok. No if's, and's or but's about that.
If you don't have a problem with your nasty views and comments making a child CS then you are monstrous.

Do fully explain how exactly a teen identifying as the opposite of their genetic make up "reinforces damaging socially-constructed stereotypes, and when it ignores the ways in which biological sex shapes both experience and oppression in real life, and seeks to erase our ability to speak about that"?
Some of these people have identified since they were 4-6years old, if it's affect a biological male or female it's affected them, and to deny that is pure ignorance.

I'd also love to know how you know what gender a person is? Do you think you've got the ultimate x-ray vision and you're going to spy through their clothes?!
It honestly laughable.

What you're actually saying is you won't respect a trans persons pronouns unless you can't tell the difference - which feeds right back into the point that it does not affect you! - not in your every day life, not to such an extent that you would be valid in being so hateful.
It only bothers you when you believe you can tell the difference - god help that bigger set, more masculine looking women who will have ignorant fools referring to them as male or trans when they simply look different to a "typical" female.

Mind blowing that so many people can't hear how stupid that is! "Oh it's ok for that man to be trans and for me to call him a man because he's got a beard and no breast - but if I got an incline he was born with a different gender identity I'd insist on calling him her"
That the reality of it - and that's why your whole view is ridiculous!

I’ve just filled in three bingo cards reading this post, it’s exhausting. The amount of emotional blackmail on display leads me to believe you must be about 15. I have no interest in discovering someone’s gender, as it’s a social construct designed to elevate boring people to interesting, and failing incidentally. I have however, never failed to correctly sex someone, and I do that by using my eyes. You should try it, it’s really easy.

I think we can guess can't we given their attitude.

If you believe men can be women it's perfectly reasonable for a male member of staff to help little girls in the toilet or to undress. No need to be chaperoned even because "he told us he feels quite feminine and he has make-up on which proves it"

And of course a 17yo boy who asks nicely if he can shower with 8yo girls must be allowed to.

The one broken part in the mental mechanism that makes decisions makes every decision problematic and should disqualify people who are broken in this way from any position of responsibility.

yep. They segregate by 'gender', which means that they acknowledge the need for single sex spaces and the risks of mixed sex spaces, but pretend that those needs and risks are negated if somebody decides to identify out of being a risk.

So these residential camps for children, how are the facilities arranged for children claiming to be the opposite sex? Sleeping, changing, washing, etc?

If you don't like it, cool, move along - you don't need to. Just keep your opinions to yourself! Simple.

Hmmm...

Man declares his pronouns are she/her.

If you don't like it, cool, move along - you don't need to. Just keep your opinions to yourself! Simple.

She/her follows you into the women's changing room.

If you don't like it, cool, move along - you don't need to. Just keep your opinions to yourself! Simple.

While you're in the women's toilets she/her asks you for a tampon.

If you don't like it, cool, move along - you don't need to. Just keep your opinions to yourself! Simple.

A few months later, police contact you because explicit videos of you peeing have been found on she/her's hard drive. Or perhaps you're a nurse and the police are contacting you because a woman on your ward has been raped, and the only penis around at that time was the one attached to the she/her's body.

If you don't like it, cool, move along - you don't need to. Just keep your opinions to yourself! Simple.

At what point is it appropriate to say "No. Stop."?

How about those of us actually concerned with safeguarding and women's rights tell you If you don't like it, cool, move along - you don't need to. Just keep your opinions to yourself! Simple.

No firstly, she said that her child will be calling anyone they think looks like a girl, a girl, which is a problem. She's essentially telling her son that her views on sex and gender supersede anyone else's reality. So if I am a boy with long hair, her son will be calling me a girl if he associates long hair solely with females. He will be calling any girls with short hair and a liking for physical activity a boy.

Then, instead of not answering the question, she found it appropriate to voice her socio-political views on a form. This shows that her level of self control is so low that she cannot recognise where it is appropriate to voice her views, and when she just needs to fill out a form.

When you try and weaponise your child into being your little political parrot, it is highly unfair on them and can even become abusive.

This is an ironic post surely?! 😂😂

’She's essentially telling her son that her views on sex and gender supersede anyone else's reality’ There is no reality involved in GI, people can’t change sex, it is immutable and binary.

’Then, instead of not answering the question, she found it appropriate to voice her socio-political views on a form’ The charity voiced their socio political views on a form, which are not based on truth or facts, and just bully anyone who has a grasp on reality to go along with it.

’When you try and weaponise your child into being your little political parrot, it is highly unfair on them and can even become abusive.’ How can it be weaponising your child when what you are teaching them is factual, reality based biological truth?

There is huge social contagion, online grooming is massive, and schools and organisations working with children and young people have been infiltrated by those pushing gender ideology.

Including charities whose aim is to support severely disabled children.

This charity is part of this problem. The people in the charity pushing this agenda need to be stopped.

Nameychangington · 31/08/2025 16:27

Ihavetoask · 31/08/2025 14:19

I disagree. If you arent given the idea that boys must do this and girls must do that, you'd have no reason to want to change your sex.

You seem to think that only young people from families with rigid ideas of appropriate dress or interests for males and females ID as trans. Like for instance, Susie Greens child, who was transed because he liked playing with dolls and his father was afraid he would be gay.

That is not the case, at all. There is huge social contagion, online grooming is massive, and schools and organisations working with children and young people have been infiltrated by those pushing gender ideology.

You seem to think that family/parents are the biggest influence on children but once they're of school age, that's not the case. That's part of why parents asking about the so-called 'inclusive' policies of organisations dealing with children, like this mother has, is so important.

Feminism is about equity for women - not about spouting hate

Are Feminists allowed to hate sexism?

Genderism - the belief that gendered personalities are the real distinction between men and women, and physical sex and the differences in risks and outcomes that it brings has no significance to our lives - is simply Neo-sexism.

Of course as a Feminist I reject that.

I don't dismiss that gender in the sense of social constructs and myths around sex exists, nor ignore the significance it has on our lives. I simply do not see it as a good thing, and certainly not as something that should be considered more real and meaningful than sex. It's like saying that because slaves traditonally wore chains, slaves must be people who chose to wear chains. I think it's better to get rid of the chains.

And all deaths of under 18s are reviewed by the child death panel , even those whose death was expected from a terminal illness.

It is a complete lie that transIDing young people are dying and the government is covering it up.

Are people who cant understand safeguarding actually allowed to have access to children within the UK mental health system?

The number of professionals working within CAMHS, social work and education actively pushing this agenda is truly horrifying. The lack of understanding around safeguarding is staggering.

I worked with a LA Safeguarding consultant with pronouns in her email signature.

RoyalCorgi · 31/08/2025 16:04

This is the second case of discrimination on the basis of gender-critical beliefs in a week - first the gay men thrown out of a pub, now this poor disabled child denied a holiday.

I hope both the gay men and the child's mother sue the organisations responsible. In each instance, the case seems clear-cut: since Forstater, it's been the law that you cannot legally discriminate against someone because they believe in the reality of biological sex.

There have been numerous cases now where the application of the Forstater ruling has resulted in a victory for gender-critical people who have been discriminated against. It seems remarkable that so many people seem unaware of the ruling and therefore that they are breaking the law.

These people are slow learners - some may use the word "stupid". So we have to keep hammering away at it until they finally grasp the law. It will take time, but let's hope we get there eventually. Not everyone has time or money to expend on taking legal action against morons.

Well I think that's a leap. A Muslim person may be expected share space with a Jewish person and accept that they are of a different religion. They're not expected to share each other's beliefs, though.

And as I was saying, I'd expect this to be almost a non-issue if this was at a group holiday for something that had nothing to do with religion and of more significance if religion was the purpose of the getaway.

Were the disabled children going away for some sort of activity related to gender identity? Or sort of like a summer camp thing where they do outdoorsy stuff?

It was importantly enough to the organisers that the clinical director choose to phone the mum to lecture her on preferred pronouns. The charity made this a big thing, not the mum.
