To think it's not fair transwomen get hair removal on the NHS but women with PCOS don't?! **Title edited by MNHQ**

This is quite frankly bullshit.

Are you absolutely sure about that? No expert but google suggests different

No one can be that stupid. It simply isn’t possible.

Male human beings do not give birth.

I care not one iota about anyone’s feelings on biology. I care about the facts of biology, which do not change to suit you.

Janettomas · 04/01/2019 02:26

From Eden. Certainly. I just googled could trans woman give birth. Mrs Ariadne Oliver. Perhaps you might care to google too. Looks like 'end of' might be speaking a little too soon

FromEden · 04/01/2019 02:37

I don't need to Google anything. A trans woman , aka a biological male, has never given birth and is not likely to any time in the forseeable future. No one is that stupid to think otherwise. Delusional or just trolling, maybe...

User758172 · 04/01/2019 02:39

No such thing as a trans woman I’m afraid. No such biological entity. We have two. Male and female. And very, very occasionaly - intersex. No need for Google - I’m a sane person with a rational mind.

Live as a man or woman, have kids or not, do whatever you want, live your life, I don’t care. But men are male, women are female.

Janettomas · 04/01/2019 02:51

From Eden. Please google. You are wrong

Vixxxy · 04/01/2019 02:53

Are you absolutely sure about that? No expert but google suggests different

This cannot be real Grin

Please tell me I misread this somehow, and you are not claiming that a male (even just one...) has given birth and google has examples?!

Vixxxy · 04/01/2019 02:54

Unless we are fallin for the 'amazing, MAN gives birth' stories. Which obviously, always turn out to be female people, as male people have never ever given birth.

Janettomas · 04/01/2019 02:55

And I resent the trolling suggestion especially when you're arrogant enough to say you don't need to google. So much for these 'facts' you rest your case on. If you think I'm a troll report me but feeling strongly about transphobia and trying to. Discredit what I see as transphobia does not make me a troll thank you very much

Janettomas · 04/01/2019 02:59

I said 'trans woman.' Why have you changed that to 'male' you really are determined to equate trans woman and male aren't you. Why?!!!

Vixxxy · 04/01/2019 02:59

It does not make someone arrogant to say they do not need to google when the topic is is a male person has ever given birth Hmm

Vixxxy · 04/01/2019 03:00

Transwomen are male. They are male people who identify as female.

Oddly enough, biology cares not a jot about ones feelings, which is why no male has ever given birth.

Janettomas · 04/01/2019 03:03

I did not say a male person has given birth. I said a trans woman. It's your narrow mind that converted trans woman to male without even realising you'd done it

Janettomas · 04/01/2019 03:05

You do realise you're denying the existence of a group of people here? Invalidating them

Vixxxy · 04/01/2019 03:07

Acknowledging that transwomen are male people with female identities does not mean I think transwomen do not exist at all. Thats ridiculous.

Vixxxy · 04/01/2019 03:09

And my narrow mind absolutely did realise I had 'converted' transwoman into male, when discussing which sex gives birth. I would be rather dim not to 'convert' in such a manner when talking of stuff that only one sex CAN do.

M3lon · 04/01/2019 03:12

I'm confused...does janet think that transwomen can give
birth?

Surely no amount of googling will turn up a transwoman who has given birth....

Janettomas · 04/01/2019 03:13

Perhaps I used wrong word with 'ex istence' 'invalidating' gets over more of what I mean

User758172 · 04/01/2019 03:15

You do realise you're denying the existence of a group of people here? Invalidating them

So when a human being claims they’re a bird - are we supposed to take them at their word? Just because they feel like one?

I don’t deny their existence. Of course they exist. As a human being, born either male of female.

Science and facts don’t care about your feelings. Truth is truth regardless of whether you like it or not

Vixxxy · 04/01/2019 03:15

I am unsure if janet thinks transwomen are actually transmen...or what. But I feel I have upset them enough with my grasp of biology and its after 3am, so I will bow out now. Hopefully there will be some advanced biology posts on here by morning that explain to dimwits like me, exactly how people who are of the male sex (regardless of inner identity) can give birth. I could do with some education so welcome such posts.

M3lon · 04/01/2019 03:17

Well it may one day be possible to do womb transplants in to male bodies...but not yet....

User758172 · 04/01/2019 03:20

@M3lon

I sincerely hope that never happens. Just because we can do things, it doesn’t mean we should. Anyway, it wouldn’t change natural law!

Janettomas · 04/01/2019 03:20

Has anyone actually googled yet? Happy to accept being called stupid etc if I imagined or misread or skim read too quickly

User758172 · 04/01/2019 03:22

@Janettomas

You’re asking folks to Google. I’ll ask you this question:

When a human being claims they’re a bird - are we supposed to take them at their word? Just because they feel like one?

M3lon · 04/01/2019 03:22

yes I have googled....its not been done..nor likely to in the near future.

It might be one day...

M3lon · 04/01/2019 03:23

I mean, I might have missed it...so if you found a link then do share...
