Just that really.... inspired by the recent sticker campaign.... "Women can't have penises" and "Some women have penises"....

Simple question - simple answer.

Me - Yes, I believe women can't have penises.

What sport are you expert in Rat?

I'm really not going to answer that. But if you're asking because you think I'm bullshitting this is a topic I've debated an awful lot on here. Advanced search, maybe with "trans" and "sport" as keywords and you'll see I'm not under-informed.

You see Rat this Being biologically female is not the same as being a woman is where a great deal of Anti Female Activists will call you a transphobe. A good number of them now say transwomen were female all along.

AnEPleaseBob · 28/08/2018 17:02

What you've done right here is substituted where I used the word "woman" with the word "female". Nifty, but not what I said. Being biologically female is not the same as being a woman - see the whole of this thread prior to this point

Yes, but being biologically female IS the same as being a woman: see the whole of this thread prior to this point. Woman: defined in all dictionaries as "adult human female".

RatRolyPoly · 28/08/2018 17:02

What's that got to do with anything?. You can be a sportswoman and not care.

You can. But you can't be a sportswoman and not know or care what at least some sportswomen think. I probably know more of them than most.

Er, yes it is. Being biologically female is exactly the same as being a woman and women don't have penises.

ADastardlyThing · 28/08/2018 17:02

Woman is only an identity? Thank fuck for that, I can tell my consultant at my next appointment to discuss the results of the tests I have been having for ovarian cancer, a cancer that affects the ovaries which are only found in women, that I don't identify as a woman anymore so it's impossible for me to have it.

Phew! Saved the NHS a few Bob as well as instantly ridded my body of potential women's only cancer.

Hmm
packupandgohome · 28/08/2018 17:02

Women is an adult human female. Men can not claim that word. We have had it to long they need to find their own Wink

How they hell can a man feel like a woman ffs Grin

You can identify with a purple sparkly unicorn that farts glitter - doesn’t mean you are one ..

RatRolyPoly · 28/08/2018 17:02

I'm sure they will. Each to their own.

HavingALittleBabyToolshed · 28/08/2018 17:03

Woman and adult human female are the same. Stop trying to rebrand that which has oppressed us for so long.

RatRolyPoly · 28/08/2018 17:03

Ah shit, I'm meant to be somewhere. Adios! I've enjoyed getting back on the horse, so to speak.

DollyDayScream · 28/08/2018 17:03

It's not a belief - it's a fact.

I don't have anything against trans people, live and let live, but why do we all have to pretend that they are something they are not?

BertrandRussell · 28/08/2018 17:03

So woman is a statement of subjective identity. Female is a statement of objective fact. A trans woman is a woman but not female. Is that right, Rat?

genz · 28/08/2018 17:03

women can have penises. gender identity is mental and while usually corresponds to sexual organs- it doesn’t always. and that is okay.

It might show you have posted a hell of a lot ...

Aeroflotgirl · 28/08/2018 17:03

VickyEady that is very scary, I wonder if the same is happening with those who identify as boys, are they boys sports teams, opening themselves to them, do they get to change with the boys?

BertrandRussell · 28/08/2018 17:04

Oh, Rat's off. Places to go, cakes to decorate!

genz · 28/08/2018 17:05

female can refer to sexual organs- biologically female = vagina, but to be a woman is to identify as such- and that is about how you feel inside.

BertrandRussell · 28/08/2018 17:07

Genz- what is your view on the sport issue?

Aeroflotgirl · 28/08/2018 17:07

They are referred to as Transwomen genz.

genz · 28/08/2018 17:08

transwomen are women. it’s just more specific.

HavingALittleBabyToolshed · 28/08/2018 17:08

I'm sure they will. Each to their own.

No, no not each of their own.
Women, you know, the old fashioned cunty type, females deserve spaces free from people identifying into our oppression. We deserve to own our collective names.
So first you think fine let people born Male have “woman” and then also “female”. And us lot birthing the babies, suffering infertility, miscarriage, ovarian cancers, sky high rape stats, agonising periods, amenorrhea to name but a few, we’re what? Chopped uterus?

helpawomanout · 28/08/2018 17:08

So hold on, are the male dressing lesbians I know not women?

Cool, I'll tell them they no longer need those smear tests.

Female = woman. It's how we describe an human, adult female. Female pigs, fish and every other animal aren't women, nor are men in dresses.

Errr no.

DorothyGarrod · 28/08/2018 17:10
