Protect us from the dolls!

Is anyone taken in by this "dolls" language, which is clearly an attempt to generate sympathy? At best it makes me think of Barbies (unconvincing plastic fake women). At worst it just sounds utterly misogynistic, as if they think real women are really just mindless playthings too.

I think it also shows how toxic the 'community' is, those who don't pass are bricks, they're vicious and spiteful towards one another, and this spills over into their whole lifes. All of the insults directed at women who object to men in their spaces, are of the same level of vicious spite. That's another reason why we need to keep them out of our spaces.

Brilliant. I particularly like the clarity of “some of you are perves don’t care what percentage are but some are so you all stay out end of”. Party’s over chaps

CrimeBoyIDontKnow · 22/01/2026 04:29

I’ve heard tell that the anguished desperation of some of these men to be seen as women has even led some of them to go so far as trying to modify their habit of interrupting and talking over women.

The whole thing is great writing.

When I read the phrase “Protect the dolls” my brain automatically changes
‘dolls’ to ‘dulls’.

It gives me the absolute creeps, as does any man regardless of “identity” who comes out with it.

You know those dolls that get trashed - the ones with arms missing, wearing terrible clothes or given a bad haircut? Or the ones on Traitors which are creepy as fuck? Or a bit Chucky wealding a knife?

Whenever I see that slogan, that's what I think of.

Girls grow up and stop playing with dolls. The dolls end up in landfill.

Ergo: Women don't need dolls.

moto748e · 21/01/2026 23:56

Naomi nails it as always, she is so sharp. And yeah, on any level, 'protect the dolls' is weird, agree.

And me. I recognise enough truth in it for it to be very funny. And I do try, and fail, to avoid interrupting and talking over people (not just women!).

Are you sure you should be out in public if you can't control your speech?

“Protect the dolls” always puts me in mind of those inflatable sex dolls. It seems porn-inspired to me. Nothing could be further from fragile flowers.

ArabellaScott · 21/01/2026 22:57

Blanchard suggested the AGP-fetish v gay trans man split was roughly 75% the former. But that was before men got medals for wearing a skirt, it may have changed.

And Naomi is, of course, right - it doesnt matter, and I dont really care what reasons a man has for wanting to access women's spaces. He can't.

Yes, "protect the dolls" is SUCH a weird slogan. It makes TW sound like fragile flowers without any intelligence or agency, which surely isn't how their supporters like to think of them?

Its perfectly apposite when one considers some of the sissification fetish tropes.

I think this is the best bit:
They go to a variety of different lengths to be seen as women. Some do everything in their power to “pass” as women, including radical remodelling of their genitals, voice surgery, facial feminisation surgery, laser hair removal, and modifying their gait and social behaviour. I’ve heard tell that the anguished desperation of some of these men to be seen as women has even led some of them to go so far as trying to modify their habit of interrupting and talking over women.

Brilliant from Naomi! Absolutely nails it 🎯

It immediately puts an image of Barbie Kardashian in my head. Which I don't think is the idea.

Great stuff. Thanks Mordaunf

So forgive me, but I think women are entitled to be particularly wary around such a man. He may not, quite, be a proven sex pest; but he’s certainly displaying some pretty troubling red flags.

Perfect. To the trans-identified males reading along on FWR, if you use women's facilities you are displaying red flags. You know enough about this by now to understand that this is how many of the public, both women and men, view you.

Exactly. The good men stay out so the bad men stand out.
