Yes. It seems to be the modus operandi of trans activists to respond to any mention of something particularly grotesque and outrageous with "This is normal, it happens all the time, what's wrong with you all?"

Just in case anyone is doubting themselves, no it is not normal for male teachers standing in front of a class to have a visible erection.

Repression. Repression. Not depression, thanks autocorrect

No please, no ai generated images. Not even for this

I feel like there’s a bunch of weird depression going on in TPAs world. Like a super-woke Carries mum….

I actually want one of the brilliant AI image creators on here to now create this image. I'm not quite sure how you'd word the prompt though 😬

Everyone should turn up with a pair of fake tits as a hat to Rattleys lectures / tutorials/ whatever he does.

It's just a clothing choice after all.

Monty Python and blackadder skits have become less absurd than reality.

Or maybe there could be a mix, half fake rubber tit hats, half fake cocks. Maybe with a jaunty bobble hat balanced at the end in the same way some of his clothing barely covers his massive fake appendage.

The archive version did work for me, thank you op.

A very funny but also tragic article on where we’ve arrived at in terms of the intelligentsia collaborating with paraphilic men operating in plain sight and being celebrated whilst they go about making women and girls uncomfortable.

This sentence brought the most cold joy: The student is effectively being dared to say ‘I find this strange’, get labelled a bigot, and then have various actresses called ‘Emma’ lead a demented public stampede against them. Because it really sums up the whole sorry debacle.

Whenever there is a thread that makes any mention of trans issues, I am just waiting for TPA to make a convoluted, ranty argument about how hate-filled and transphobic we all are.

I really hope TPA’s children are imaginary as they have had some dreadful experiences in order to support TPA’s agenda.

I was just thinking about TPA when reading another thread and how they have FWR on speed dial.

If we were to therapise the constant insertions, we might say it’s a defensive or oppositional conversation style or, more likely, that they indicate the need to reinforce one's worldview to validate their choices and identity.

But Shakespeare said it best: the lady doth protest too much, methinks.

As an aside, so much happens in TPA world that just never seems to happen to anyone else - early morning lectures with erections, 2 gay reachers walking alongside pupil in school corridors to keep them safe…

Uh huh. And don't forget, in a discussion about the importance of sticking to correct sex-based pronouns, TPA revealed that she also knows many "white men" who feel that not being allowed to call black men "boy" is "compelled speech."🙃

"A friend's?"
Well, quite.
And, as you say, one set is quite enough!
(What on earth did that comment mean? Really, what?)

I’ve name changed for this post but do frequent these threads non incognito too.

I know how difficult it is to speak up in these types of situations. I didn’t and I was in a senior position but I was gripped by fear and still feel bad about it now.

in my situation a TW colleague in a professional setting would wear fully sheer tops revealing bra and (not at same time) skin tight leathery/rubbery (not full rubber but a sort of cheap leather look iykwim) skirts that were clearly worn to highlight penis.

i knew i should have said something, but i just couldn’t.

As it turned out I was on the receiving end of their ire for something else so my fear wasn’t entirely misplaced but I do regret not calling out the inappropriateness of those clothing choices in those settings

TPA thought the swimming costumes 'revealing' which says much about TPA when you see they are wearing sensible one piece swimsuits.

Yes - the company our TRAs keep and the comments they come out with. Such unedifying insights into their lives and thoughts.

How different from the home life of our own dear Queen.

The weirdest 1950s imagery (housewife dealing with the drudgery of being in the kitchen and dealing with the cost of shipping) put into a tumble drier with 21st century post modernist deconstructionist thinking (oh, that housewife was a man, and isn't a man anymore because their choice of language dictates their reality).
With a side order of pornified preference.

Don’t forget the man straight-facedly being called a “mum” on an ITV news segment about water bills going up, with his breast pump in shot on the draining board.

This could get messy

No, you’re supposed to wear them on your head like Blackadder did when he got pissed in Blackadder II.

I'm impressed with the gallows humour from women on MN and elsewhere. Not only do you have to put up with the insanity that is the likes of Rattley, you then have to deal with his propagandists online like TPA.

On the other thread TPA came out with this gem

"Someone owning tits (whether theirs or a friend's) is not an emergency."

I mean... a friend's?"

I don't know about you but I'm against it. I have enough trouble wrangling my own tits without trying to cope with a friend's pair too. And do I wear theirs with mine, perhaps on top of mine? Or round the back maybe? Or am I keeping them in a drawer as a spare set I'm case I lose mine on the bus? I've heard of losing one's head if it came loose, but one's tits? The mind boggles.

You're probably not missing anything. TPA appears to be a chap with the level of socio-emotional maturity usually associated with teen boys. The idea that a coloured bra under a lecturer's blouse is more sexualised, than a pair of plastic tits on a male researcher is obviously ludicrous.

I think these men with persistent priapism should seek medical assistance asap, it's a dangerous condition.

TPA will be saying next that Dr. Sam in the Redvers NHS case was totally ok talking about wanking and videogames in front of his daughter broadcast to the nation.
Wear fake bazoomas in front of women, talk about wanking in front of your daughter, it's all happy and unremarkable in the the TRA "new normal".
Douglas Murray said it so well in an article last year, the new societal rules makers have tried to make ick and disgust buried by Be Kind and Don't Notice.

It’s the bit about it being quite early in the morning that’s especially curious. I mean, it think what it’s alluding to is a standard waking erection, but why would that persist into school time? Would the aroused “cis” person have slept under the lectern, or the teacher’s desk? Or rushed to work straightaway in order to preserve the tumescence? Or is it some obscure reference otherwise? Pathetic is a strange word to use in any case.
Is anyone able to explain this at all? Am I missing something?
I’m sure there are more interesting things to think about aaargh.

"I had hoped we'd got past sexualising breasts and blaming their owners for other people's reactions to them."

I think there is a significant difference between 'owning' a pair of breasts, and breasts being a part of oneself.
