Loyle Carner & JKR

I'm more worried about the horrific effects of online misogyny on women and girls. There is no such thing as trans kids, just vulnerable children brain washed into believing natural puberty is dangerous and the people trying to protect them from irreversible harm are thier enemies.

I think that some posters, when they talk about 'their child', may actually be talking about themselves when they were a child or perhaps retconning aspects of their childhood. I agree that they do not actually come across as parents themselves. There is certainly a terrible fury there, at someone or something.

Continuing to insist that Khelif is a ‘cis’ woman, in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary, strikes me as jumping the shark.

I'm very confused about why you think Imane Khelif is female. There is very clear evidence he failed two sex tests and he has refused to take another one to qualify for women's boxing. He is clearly male and only boxed at the Olympics because of their policy of accepting passport evidence of sex - which isn't evidence at all. The Olympic fiasco lead to them specifying that everyone taking part in the women's category now needs testing to rule out the y chromosome. Imane Khelif will not be participating in the 2028 Olympics because he is male. You know all this yet you continue to fight for him, even though a male punch is 162% greater than female punching power and by entering the ring with women he put them in grave physical danger. That is aside from taking Olympic medals from women. It's so clearly dangerous and unfair, yet still you continue.

This is so spot on!

What? Are you talking about Khelif? A 'cis' woman? Good grief.

Supposedly a 'woman' from a very conservative country, who has no qualms about wrapping their thighs round their trainer's neck and being paraded round. Use your imagination to think what would have happened after this display if an actual woman had done it.

Oh damn, I love Loyle Carner, he certainly wasn’t spouting bollocks about JKR when I saw him perform last year and he played Horcrux. I’m assuming that he has had backlash for the song and is too weak/“kind” to not have to tow the line 🙄

Asexuality also has nothing to do with gender identity, so JKR's comments on aces aren't transphobic. Your DD's critical thinking skills aren't great.

I know.

She's 13.

Anyway, inciting a crowd to hate people is deeply unpleasant. If you’re in the baying mob, you can try and convince yourself you’re a ‘good guy’, but you probably aren’t.

>>>What was the outcome of the conversation? How is she “racist”, I’m imagining it’s some nonsense about Harry Potter characters.<<<

There was absolutely nothing to the alleged isms/phobias except 'someone said she did/is'

Yes, my 13 year old daughter tells me things that she's alleged to have done, because someone told her. I sent her JKR's essay - silence, although she said she's read it. A couple of months ago, she stormed up to me triumphantly and shouted,

"LOOK what the Hag has said about asexual people! It's disgusting and transphobic."

I reminded her that we don't discuss this and that eye rolling and snippy replies aren't the same as a million rape and death threats. Apparently, that makes me a bigot, although why people without any interest in sex need a special day is beyond me, as nobody knows. Unless they decide to wang on about it, for attention.

I really cannot see how any caring parent would encourage a child to think transitioning would be a good idea. Encouraging a child to think they can change sex - when they can’t - and that they’ll be fully accepted by society as their more sex - when the rightly won’t be - is truly abhorrent.

We can never really know the reality of what posters on Mumsnet claim to be. There are a significant number who claim to be mothers yet their posts reveal that they have no clue about children, no insight into being a woman and zero experience of parenting.
As Mumsnet's fundamental aim is to "make parents' lives easier", I look with sadness at posters who post rage and intolerance aimed at other parents and their parenting. They're either disruptive trolls or carry such immense fury inside that their lives must be very difficult. Using women on here as their punchbag isn't acceptable but at the end of the day, it's up to Mumsnet to decide what constitutes the boundary between free speech versus being abusive to women and parents.

Took me a moment to realise TPA refers to that poster’s username and not Trans Preferences Activist which I’d thought was very accurate because it is only preferences which are being aggressively demanded after all, not rights where equality has already been achieved.

I used to wonder about that but I’m pretty sure there is a daughter. I believe there are other children too.

Posted before the news of Arday's death broke...

TPA's daughter is a figment of his imagination. It's just a prop he uses to berate uppity women.

The Equipe article includes this statement that khelif reduced his testosterone to zero. That doesn't sound believable. The level that Caster Semanya had to reduce his testosterone to was still in the male range.

For the qualifying tournament for the Paris Games, which took place in Dakar, I lowered my testosterone level to zero (the average level is between 0.3 and 3 nanomoles per liter of blood in women) . And I won the gold medal there.

That’s a lame reach even for TPA.

And ‘asexual’? WTF is that all about??? If you don’t want we’d with people, don’t have sex with people. Why on earth would you publicise the fact, or call it an ‘identity’? It’s laughable oversharing.

The only tedious one is you, continuing to post a load of bollocks. But I get it. If you didn’t go along with the nonsense, you’d have to look internally about affirming your daughter’s identify and what damage it could be causing her body. For what it’s worth, I hope she somehow escapes the issues taking wrong sex hormones can do to a body. But listening to others who have been down the same route, I sadly think she won’t escape without any issues.
