Great. Lots of us do care.

You cared so little you had to start a thread about it Hmm

Battleax · 27/03/2018 18:13

“I don’t know and I don’t care”. How helpful. Is it a new genre of thread? Maybe ask for your own board to be pointless on?

I don't understand the terms either, I get a bit fed up with all the labels, why can't we just be who we want without having all the complex definitions? I am sure there is a reason why people like a label but I am very ignorant as to why we need so many.

I would love to give a fuck about this but I have a disabled child who moves on to PIP soon. I have lost my job, my career, my pension.

Thanks for another pointless contribution to the forum.

ShowOfHands · 27/03/2018 18:57

I'm teetotal. Don't know anything about alcohol. Don't really care either.

Should I start a thread? Is that what we're doing now?

PeanutButterSquash · 27/03/2018 18:57

okay so...
Look into it and form an opinion or

Don't?

SubsidisedVowels · 27/03/2018 19:00

I just want to point out that all the terms like cis and TERF aren't invented by the feminists (not the ones on here, anyway). The TRAs have invented them to describe various women.

ssd · 27/03/2018 20:31

there's another one I havent a clue about, TRAs

do people just love labels these days, is that it?

Why would you not want to know stuff? it's a very narrow minded attitude.

Battleax · 27/03/2018 21:16

There seem to be a certain contingent of people who pride themselves in their ignorance “these days”.

SubsidisedVowels · 27/03/2018 21:21

ssd it means transactivists. That is one thing which is stopping it getting out to the mainstream - all the bloody labels! (But the posters on here didn't make the labels - the trans lobby did.) It's v confusing, I have only understood since reading the threads and having them patiently explained by other posters.
