How have you been affected by the Tran's community?

[BabuFrick]

As there are so many posts on here that discuss Transgenderism, has anyone been directly affected by the Tran's community, good or bad?
I'm quite young and only know one Tran's gender person, as far as I'm aware.

In the past, I’ve asked people whether they know the meaning of cis, or what a ciswoman is (although never know whether to pronounce Sis or kiss). I’d say that 80% of those surveyed didn’t , so it’s not in modern parlance.

Why would anyone feel the need to point out that they’re not trans??

We now have a word for that. It’s Woman.

( Actually, we’ve always had that word, contrary to what some people may think).

Presumably for the same reason I need to state that I'm not blue eyed, not a stamp collector and not a Buddhist.

Language evolves. There was a time when the term heterosexual wasn’t widely recognised.

The same thing happened to my friend after a double mastectomy. But you can always tell with 100 percent accuracy who is trans, right? You don't accidentally end up harassing a cancer survivor, right?

Cis is offensive for all the reasons given - it makes women a subset of their own sex and no more female than men - but also because ‘cis’ is defined as identifying with the gender you were assigned at birth. Not only is that a nonsense. Nobody is ‘assigned a gender’ but gender for women is a set of regressive, restrictive stereotypes that most women fight against. Wanting to be a free person rather than a doormat doesn’t turn a woman into a trans man.

My ginger son at 13 was severely bullied by a trans person who has made his life a complete misery all because of his hair. He was isolated from his peers because of this one person. I may be wrong here but in America the school shootings a fair few of them were trans.

Yes, it has forced my to deny the evidence of my own eyes; and to debase my professionalism and compromise my safety when I am required to ask, of a Saturday night, a drunk, 6’ hairy trucker called Bert if he might be pregnant, and ‘please sign here to that effect’ before I can scan him, also countersigning my obedience; in the knowledge that the 30-somethings young handmaidens of band 7s, often inexplicably with their own young daughters - will be checking up on my compliance on Monday morning; AND my trade union has explicitly stated that will not support any member who questions the ideology.

That shit can all now get in a bin.

Thank Christ 🙏

A fact check for you on trans shooters (below).

Sorry your child was bullied. However there are many bullies who are not trans.

Many of the bullies I’ve encountered are women. I don’t allow that to colour my view of women or how women should be treated in law.

Oh I don't. It must be a struggle for some I've never been in this position so I wouldn't understand but in the same breath for my son to be bullied by someone that is also different really wasn't nice.

I'd be very surprised if your child wants anything to do with you in the future.

Why would you feel the need to mis-gender someone so badly?

It seems so hypocritical to me that a group that complains so much about being mis-gendered and dead named would take so much pleasure in in telling someone what they must be called.

and no its not transphobic.

How is using the word ‘cis’ misgendering? Please explain.

Oh another personal attack? What a surprise...

Because I am not cis and I don’t identify as cis.

see the parallel?

That doesn’t make sense. It’s a word. If you were born with female reproductive organs and regard yourself as a woman, the term cis applies to you. You do not need to opt-in.

That you object to a term even exists calls into question your credibility in the argument.

No, dear. The word woman is enough. Always has been, always will be.

I don’t identify as ‘dear’.

And if you’re a male born with male reproductive organs, you’re male.

however you identify.

If someone can demand which pronouns I use, I can demand you don’t refer to me as cis.

So the parents of their child suffering from anorexia should affirm them as fat?

When has it been kind to lie to someone, especially your child? You can treat someone with humanity and respect yet not go along with what essentially is a lie. You can feel what you want, you can’t compel others to nor can you change sex.

It’s the Emperor’s New Clothes 2025.

But they can be challenged whereas before they couldn't. So as a woman you're in a much better space. Women aren't telling trans men what to do, but as they are biologically female they have the right to use the women's facilities.

Yep I think we should abandon counselling and psychological help and instead offer weight affirming care.

i am a thin person born in a fat persons body.

i should be offered WLD, personal training and other help until my body matches the weight my brain thinks i should be.
