Trans people want to steal your rights! And stroke your cat. They want to colonise your child's reading books, infiltrate your favourite prisons, appropriate the gold medals you would otherwise win for your peerless skills on the pummel horse, take the best seats on the Tube, demand that midwives talk exclusively about pregnant fathers, haunt your preferred changing rooms, run rampant through the Brownie Guides, go unchallenged in every echelon of the WI, burn all your favourite pronouns in an industrial furnace, benefit from all your oppression, demand your pet dog be addressed as Mx, frolic carelessly across the flower bed you've only just planted for God's sake, insist that there are more than two genders, require to be recognised as the gender 'combine harvester' one day and the gender 'quail' the next, piss on the toilet you wanted to reserve for your friends, and call you Cis which is like totally cruel because it sounds like sissy.

Alternatively, trans people are people, they are not trying to hurt you, most of you have never met one, none of you need to feel threatened by them, and there really isn't a need to start fifteen threads a week fretting that they're going to steal your last Bourbon Cream, appropriate or destroy feminism, or change your baby's name from Thomas to Pixie. Seriously, calm down.

Just my usual clarification, Trans is a term which lumps the lovely wouldn't harm a fly, serious and full time people who would be happier in a different body, but also the part time, sissy cross dressing, abusive fetish addled men like my husband.

If I were the former I would be mad as hell to be lumped together with idiots like DH, whose version of trans is role playing his interpretation of a woman, that being a submissive sex hole.

My sister's neighbour is trans-sexual but awaiting the op. She's lovely, but is over six foot and weighs about seventeen stone, so not very feminine. She is lovely and does no harm to anyone else, why is it a problem to others?

It probably isn't. But increasingly men are calling themselves women who have no intention of having surgery and have a fully functioning penis (70% or so of transwomen). See Danielle Muscato above for the full bearded version.

If the law goes in the direction the Women and Equalities Committe of MPs recommend, there will no longer be any criteria for reassignement of gender. All that will be needed to be a woman is to say you are a woman. If people can't see any possible problems this might cause, they probably need to think a little more deeply about it.

WoodPigeon, she's waiting for the op, and wants is deperately. She's changed her name and is always dressed like a woman.

Hysterical is what women have been labelled for generations.

Usually when they feel strongly about something and won't STFU and do as they're told.

Fortunately, many brave women have ignored the label. And they still intend to.

Sex cannot be changed. Women have the right to safe space.

Oh and don't call me cis.

morningrunner, yep, that's about right. It's an interesting approach to a discussion...

TheCountessofFitzdotterel · 28/03/2017 18:24

The op's post just reads to me like she doesn't give a shit about the vulnerable women who will be affected.
I am not likely to be particularly traumatised by having to share a public toilet with a cross dresser. But women who are victims of sexual assault and are locked up in prison with rapists are going to suffer (and there are already women prisoners in North America complaining about being threatened with sexual assault by transwomen prisoners) and I am not particularly impressed by people who go ha ha, you silly women, this is all hysteria.

"Sissy" or sissifacation is a word used to describe a certain type of pornography - Google it if you have the stomach. It is used and accepted by the users of that kind of porn and not imposed by the wives of the men that watch it.

AssassinatedBeauty · 28/03/2017 18:27

NotCarylChurchill if by "brave" you mean dropping a sarcastic and dismissive post guaranteed to start a squabble, and then running away...

TheCountessofFitzdotterel · 28/03/2017 18:30

'I'm really picking my words carefully, but I sincerely doubt any of the persons posting here ever get their backsides off the sofa,'

And the person who posted that thinks she's not the one who's prejudiced Hmm

VladmirsPoutine · 28/03/2017 18:31

I personally hate all the 'MIL tried to give my baby a hug' threads but I'd take 76 of those a day over the trans threads. And it's not as simple as just hiding them - they're popping up all over the place. I won't be surprised if someone starts a thread on the Pets board about their transexual cat.

Notwhatiexpected · 28/03/2017 18:31

Sissy isn't a slur, it is used to describe a particular look, it is a sex thing. Don't google it, definitely don't look on Pinterest.

And my DH isn't effeminate, he doesn't do any of that. Actually he gets more aggressive and demands a privilege usually associated with men, when he is dressed.

RufusTheRenegadeReindeer · 28/03/2017 18:35

Seriously

If people don't like threads with 'trans' in the title

Then why open them

Why post them and keep them in active

Why the fuck would someone start their own

What the fuck is wrong with people like that?

palebluesky · 28/03/2017 18:36

picklemepopcorn · 28/03/2017 18:36
