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

[Badmoonsarising]

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.

Do you need to sit down eresh

Glass of water would be good

Thanks Rufus

Always a pleasure eresh

Stick blender definitely sounds like the best move, it wouldn't take up too much room in my small flat either.

I have a big Asian supermarket down the road that always has a lovely load of interesting fresh veg like moolis, red carrots & multiple types of aubergine along with all the usual stuff, so I go & raid it about once a fortnight. They've even got used to me going in with my mesh bags for stuff like mushrooms instead of using their plastic ones .

Oops cross-post.

I love a good home made soup but the DC refuse to eat it, teenager said its a drink not a meal

I like my soups thick & chunky.

I use my nutri bullet

Haven't yet RTFT (on page 9 currently) but I had to pick up on this:

Because we don't over inflate every possible negative and catastrophise the outcome way outside the bounds of likelihood.

How does that sit with the idea that pointing out that a male isn't female actually wipes people out of existence, or 'writes them off' as Verbeena put it?

Also, why is it ok to say that 'some women have penises' but not 'some women are male'?

When you're a toddler, you have no sense of your biology really but you do "know" you're female. Not because people have told you either. Even if they haven't, and never mentioned bodily bits at the age of 3, you just "know."

Everyone tells small children what sex they are constantly - 'good girl/boy' and 'he/she' are daily figures of speech for any child.

And now I have RTFT and therefore realise that things have somewhat petered out but I still want to add that I'm struggling to make sense of how Lily Madigan isn't a 'they' but a transwoman is a woman.

Both of these are completely subjective and not something we can tell about someone without specifically asking them so why is one not true but the other is?

I'm not a familiar username on FWR and I've read everything in good faith but I haven't seen the definitions that some posters claim they've already given. Unless you've also redefined the word 'definition' itself, in which case we're all screwed.
