Was quite shocked to see this. Will this be a test case? Mumsnet is such a tame well run site compared to the comments I see in the online press. Is the writing on the wall for free (cough) speech or is it a culling of trolling. Personally I think that something needs to be done, some folk have no filter or are just plain nasty.

You mean apart from me saying earlier that I couldn't care less what Karen White identifies as...scum is scum. I'm pretty sure LimeKiwi agreed with me

I did indeed Smile

Could you answer the question:

What are your criteria for someone to be a transwoman and therefore 'accepted as a woman' then?

LimeKiwi · 15/04/2019 12:50

I'll say it again in case you missed it on the last page - I don't agree with anyone just self ID'ing and never said I did

sanluca · 15/04/2019 12:55

So if you don't agree with self id, what makes a transwoman a woman?

LimeKiwi · 15/04/2019 12:55

Sorry, just seen you didn't miss it after all. Not sure if you ,missed the part of go on define woman for us all and I said no, as you (general you) have no intention of listening without ROFL's and trotting out but that's not a woman.
As I said, people might not accept transwomen, that's fair enough, that's up to them. I do though and so do others

S1naidSucks · 15/04/2019 12:59

It’s the feels, isn’t it? They FEEL like a woman, so actual women should just be prepared to accept that or..,,bigots, suicide, not nice, die in a fire, bla bla bla

BarbieJellyBabyBrain · 15/04/2019 12:59

I'll expand on it a little if you like.

If you don't believe in self-id, as you have stated, then at what point does a male become a transwoman and therefore, in your opinion, have the right to be accepted as a woman. Does that male had to have had surgery? Top and bottom, just top? Do they have to have been taking hormones? For a certain period of time? Or do they just need to wear what we would stereotypically class as 'woman's clothing', wigs, make up etc?

What, in your opinion, makes a transwoman a woman?

The question that is never ever answered with any remote semblance of logical reasoning by the gender ideology fans.

Again, back to the middle of the thread - woman = adult human female. It's the only answer you're ever happy with which is what makes the entire discussion pointless as you don't or won't listen to anything else.

LimeKiwi · 15/04/2019 13:03

so actual women should just be prepared to accept that or..,,bigots, suicide, not nice, die in a fire, bla bla bla

Nobody, anywhere, has said saying anything like that is OK, I know I definitely haven't - anyone saying that is disgusting

BarbieJellyBabyBrain · 15/04/2019 13:04

I have expanded to help you out a bit. Grin

S1naidSucks · 15/04/2019 13:05

But yet you’re more annoyed about women refusing to accept that people can change sex, than the abuse that women receive. Do you pull the abusers up on that language, when you sex them calling women bigots, or telling them that they should shift over and give men a woman’s place?

BarbieJellyBabyBrain · 15/04/2019 13:06

And remember, if you put across an argument, someone counters that argument and you don't have anything to come back with, that doesn't mean that you 'haven't been listened to' and it's 'pointless to engage'. It just means you are not very good at debate.

LimeKiwi · 15/04/2019 13:07

Barbie, think you must have missed it (not sure if deliberately but will give you the benefit of the doubt)

Again, back to the middle of the thread - woman = adult human female. It's the only answer you're ever happy with which is what makes the entire discussion pointless as you don't or won't listen to anything else.

Yes. Glad you think so! I mean it's obvious to anyone with the remotest understanding of biology but people will insist on using nonsensical pomo definitions.

LimeKiwi · 15/04/2019 13:08

Do you pull the abusers up on that language

If I saw someone saying die in a fire of course I bloody would, that's a vile thing to say.

LimeKiwi · 15/04/2019 13:08

Cheers for proving my point Erishkgal.
For the lurkers.

BarbieJellyBabyBrain · 15/04/2019 13:08

I'm not asking you to define woman, I'm asking

What are your criteria for someone to be a transwoman and therefore 'accepted as a woman' then?

You said people cannot id to be a transwoman, so what do you have to do to be a transwomen then?

BarbieJellyBabyBrain · 15/04/2019 13:10

Like I said, I know exactly what I would be thinking if I were a lurker:

'Oh my god what on earth is this mysterious definition of woman that LimeKiwi has'? Grin

BarbieJellyBabyBrain · 15/04/2019 13:11

Sorry that should say

You said people cannot self id to be a transwoman, so what do you have to do to be a transwomen then?

LimeKiwi · 15/04/2019 13:11

Fair enough, as I said people can make up their own minds.
Either accept transwomen or not. You (general you) know what side you're happy on.
Each to their own say I

Ereshkigal · 15/04/2019 13:12

For the lurkers.

Yes I'm sure the lurkers are hanging on your every word. You have such great arguments.

BarbieJellyBabyBrain · 15/04/2019 13:13

Either accept transwomen or not.

What's a 'transwoman'?

Ereshkigal · 15/04/2019 13:14

Each to their own say I

Really? You seem to prattle on without actually saying anything at all rather a lot in these threads. Funny for such an unbothered person.
