If not, let's start one. This is a safe space for us. Hopefully.

I don't think anyone is fully gender conforming.

how do you define gender non-conforming women?
Do they / we need a "safe space"? MN seems pretty safe to me.

What does gender non conforming mean?

HeyDiggity · 21/01/2024 20:08

I knocked down a wall with a sledge hammer last weekend. And I’m really into sport. And I wear trousers. My favourite colour is blue. What does gender non conforming even mean?

You’re going to have to explain what you mean by gender nonconformity.

CharlotteMakepeace · 21/01/2024 20:21

What's all this crap about safe spaces?

If you're someone weak who needs a safe space, get off the internet altogether.

I have a HGV license and can fix cars - does that count.

The Queen was gender non conforming. It stopped there, didn't it?

Do you look like Susie Quattro’s Nan? Is that what you mean ?

Ha ha seriously

HeyDiggity · 21/01/2024 20:27

What stopped there? I’m so confused. Perhaps I need a safe space…

DuckDuckHen · 21/01/2024 20:28

I’m a gender non conforming woman, but I don’t understand why that would mean I need a safe space?

In my case I’m interpreting gender non conforming as me wearing clothes that I find comfortable and me believing that gender is a load of bollocks and stereotypes need to get in the bin.

Deathbyathousandcats · 21/01/2024 20:28

Fucking hell, there’s some weird threads being started tonight.
it must be the wind.

Are you thinking of Freddie Mercury, Op? Because I’m not sure he was actually the Queen, or indeed of fully royal lineage…

UltimateQuattro · 21/01/2024 20:29

Let's say I show tomorrow. I'm a pretty girl but I act like a man. How would you judge me? Not well, I expect.

How do you act like a man?

I wear trousers, dig up bodies, build Lego, do all the DIY at home, love cooking, sew some of my own clothes, and wear makeup half the time. I act like a woman because I am one, and it’s the only way I know how to be. I reject all sex stereotypes because they are regressive and disadvantage women disproportionately.

Am I gender non-conforming? And why would anyone judge me for how I am, and for what?

Finn, are you ok Hun?

Sorry, sidebar: you dig up bodies?!

I was with you for most of the other stuff 😂

Only yesterday I put my pinny down to fix a tap.
