One opinion that you have that will never waver, no matter what?..

What rights do trans people not have?

MurielThrockmorton · 03/12/2023 13:54

Also that humans cannot change sex and that same-sex attracted young people (and in fact all young people) should be protected from unnecessary surgery and medicalisation.

Children should not be made to have contact with an abusive parent via the family court.

Humans cannot change sex, and there is a biological difference between men and women (despite what is taught in schools and universities!).

This 🙌

Transitioning children is child abuse.

That was exactly my question, not sure what you mean?

That terfs are silly and trans rights are important.

Thank you. As mum of a trans dd (who incidentally is too scared to leave the house most of the time, and would be terrified to ever use the women’s toilets. And who incidentally isn’t even attracted to women and has a male partner) my heart breaks for her reading the vile hatred on here. These sad people who make it their number one priority to victimise trans people have probably never even encountered one in their lives really need to get a life. I notice they don’t seem to have the same hatred of trans men.

This, and men don't have periods despite what was stupidly taught in a primary school.

Abortion. I am fiercely pro-choice. As early as possible but as late as necessary.

Catsanfan · 03/12/2023 13:35

Can you name the rights 'trans' people don't have, please?

I’d say the main issue is the right to not face discrimination for simply existing! Unfortunately trans people experience discrimination, violence and of course death at disproportionate rates.

coxesorangepippin · 03/12/2023 14:00

Childcare/ education should be free for all, from birth. Government subsidized.

Yes it does and you should therefore know that you never put a coma before and 🙈

It's the Oxford comma.

My sympathies for you and your daughter. But I take issue with your use of the word ‘hatred’.

I respectfully disagree that a biological male can become a woman (and vice versa). I don’t hate trans people. I’m sorry if you experience hatred, and you are right to call it out when you experience it. But you are wrong to assume that disagreement = hate.

There is no good reason for having a joint bank account.

sixteenfurryfeet · 03/12/2023 14:02

I will not accept being blamed for something that is not my fault.

PTSDBarbiegirl · 03/12/2023 14:02

Aphotoaday · 03/12/2023 13:45

Coma?

Why has @Ebokebok used zero punctuation? Perhaps grammatical coma has taken hold. Never mind, "coma" was funny.

whitetip · 03/12/2023 14:03

I have so many, I cant pick just one.

The school system does not work for the majority of children.

No government or ruling can mend this country.

Looks do matter.

Cheating is one of the worst things a human can do to another.

Social media has ruined the world.

People cannot change.

No men in women only spaces or sport.

This is a wilful misinterpretation.

No one hates your child but your child is male no matter what steps they have taken to 'transition'. Your child has been sold a lie if they have been told that this makes them a woman.

It's not hatred to say that.

But asking women to make ourselves unsafe or some women to exclude from certain single sex spaces because of your child's identity issues is unreasonable.

I hope your child can get the mental health support to live a happy and fulfilled life.

I would never consider a relationship with a man with children from previous relationship. Far more baggage than I want in my life.

Good decision. If you consider children to be baggage then it's best you leave them to someone more worthy of their love, trust and affection

Why do we need your sympathy? What for? She’s not dying!

Rhat hunting with dogs is barbaric and cruel.

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 03/12/2023 14:04

Biological sex is binary and immutable. No amount of surgery and hormones can change a person of one biological sex into a person of the opposite biological sex.

Psychonabike · 03/12/2023 14:05

That no one in the Western World lives in a true meritocracy, and our lives are bound by systematic bias, prejudice and discrimination in everything we do and this still requires significant pro-active intervention.
