To be angry and feel the Scottish Gov’s Twitter header is an attack on women?

i’d like them to clarify exactly what their definition of “transphobic” is because it seems to have become a slur these days often aimed at anyone but mostly women who are critical of or question in any way the recent upsurge of identity politics. I just feel they’re doing a knee jerk, ignorant, unnecessary huge fuck you to women.

No idea where you get I'm trying to silence you. READ and you'll see I actually AGREE with you in parts! You don't want to see that bit though, do you.

Scrumplestiltskin · 06/12/2018 08:45

Well yes, because I do actually engage. If it's not the accepted viewpoint, not one actually wants to listen.
Then actually engage my post. I posed solid, good faith questions and made some good points, and yet you'd rather pointlessly snark and act downtrodden Hmm

VerbeenaBeeks · 06/12/2018 08:49

I really don't know which bit you don't get? Am I saying it in Greek? Read the thread. You'll see why. We're back to the please try. Have a go bit.

Think that cup of tea explains EXACTLY why people don't bother.

Tea? Bigot.

VerbeenaBeeks · 06/12/2018 09:11

Coffee, then. Better?

VerbeenaBeeks · 06/12/2018 09:12

Have a Biscuit to go with your coffee.

Anyone got any chocolate Hobnobs?

VerbeenaBeeks · 06/12/2018 09:14

Pathetic. There you go, this is why.

VerbeenaBeeks · 06/12/2018 09:18

It's like being back at school. Playground bully cliques. Adult version though.

Yes, jammy dodgers are a bit shit, aren't they? I've got some bourbons.

VerbeenaBeeks · 06/12/2018 09:25

Whatever.

Try to get me to respond? What the RIGHT way? As I said, one way of thinking. Or none.
Not everyone has a problem with all transwomen.

I'm just injecting a little humour to lighten the mood.

VerbeenaBeeks · 06/12/2018 09:31

Course you are. You keep telling yourself that.

EmpressAdultHumanFemale · 06/12/2018 09:57

We have Quality Street in the office today. Although nobody seems quite sure where they came from.

VerbeenaBeeks · 06/12/2018 10:05

Good for you.

EmpressAdultHumanFemale · 06/12/2018 10:10

Good for you.

Hmm
VerbeenaBeeks · 06/12/2018 10:17

Can tell it's the extremes usual back slapping. Starts out with just the main two, and then check the usernames of one's piling in as back up to see where they stand.

Hyppolyta · 06/12/2018 10:23

Verbeena no one has said they have a problem with transwomen.

Saying transwomen are male is not a declaration on war, its just fact.

You know transwomen are male.
Stop pretending its some awful thing when you agree with us.

VerbeenaBeeks · 06/12/2018 10:25

hypolyta that is so blatantly untrue. It was literally said on this thread.
I don't expect you to see it, seeing as you couldn't see the poster was part of a series or the lolz bit either.

Hyppolyta · 06/12/2018 10:43

Intresting you mention the series, the more I think about that the more it annoys me.

Trans dogma is homophobic.
To deny same sex attraction exists is homophobic.

To say homosexuals are attracted to one gender is homophobic.

To say lesbians should accept a penis if it belongs to a woman Hmm is homophobic.

The series doesnt mean anything, does it?
They have no intrest in tackling homophobia, its just virtue signalling.
