Just that really. I don't mean to be goady I've just noticed that when it comes up here, people seem more against it than other social circles I'm familiar with. I think I'm a bit out of the loop as to what the issue is.

Horrifying.

Totally. It's a complete waste of time. You will get absolutely nowhere with this poster. They talk bollocks.

I'm determined to get a proper answer out of them one way or another. One of these days!

Whatever. As I said, I don't care anymore. I started out on FWR learning and wanting to know more. From both sides.
I've tried answering but if it's not what you want to know or want to listen to it' resorts to this shite.

Outofinspiration · 06/06/2019 21:32

Is your definition of transwoman 'male who has had his penis and testicles removed, or a male who is planning to do so soon'?

Yes or no?

And if no, what is it then?

sackrifice · 06/06/2019 21:34

I've tried answering

Every time you are asked a question you ree ree ree about the manner in which the question was asked as a diverson to answering the question.

It is quite funny.

Rufusthebewilderedreindeer · 06/06/2019 21:35

It must be awfully hard work

No, I answer. It's not always the answer people want to hear though and I'm not sure what people want me to do about that.

Can you copy and paste your answer to what the difference between a man and a trans woman is then? I must have missed your answer. Ta.

Yeah, I would try and hunt a thread down but your name is one one that is always on the threads said so yeah but no but.
You've seen it all before however much you pretend

Rufusthebewilderedreindeer · 06/06/2019 21:58

I must have missed your answer

Its ok...its not you, there wasn’t an answer

Marchinupandownagain · 06/06/2019 22:02

Because MN as a whole is. And the owners are. Simple.

LimeKiwi · 06/06/2019 22:02

An answer that's not an answer and usually sits on the fence

TurboTeddy · 06/06/2019 22:03

I don't mean to be goady

but where has the OP gone............

sackrifice · 06/06/2019 22:05

You've seen it all before however much you pretend

But you said you didn't have an answer. Now you have an answer it's just everyone has simultaneously forgotten that it was?

I mean, i am sure you think you are being an 'ally' but actually you are just looking like a gullible fool. I am not sure what benefit you think you give to the trans community, when you can't even stand up for your own beliefs.

Rufusthebewilderedreindeer · 06/06/2019 22:07

If i was honestly convinced that the owners, mods, forum etc of a forum i was on was transphobic or homophobic or misogynistic etc

I wouldnt be on it

LimeKiwi · 06/06/2019 22:08

@Marchinupandownagain

If this is to MN, it's not all of us. I've been a regular poster since about 2012.
Only past couple of years noticed this.
Transphobic from some, if they don't realise they are though what do you do.

LimeKiwi · 06/06/2019 22:10

If i was honestly convinced that the owners, mods, forum etc of a forum i was on was transphobic or homophobic or misogynistic etc I wouldnt be on it

but you still are though when people are saying it's transphobic

sackrifice · 06/06/2019 22:10

Presumably, if MN is a whole is, that means you too?

Rufusthebewilderedreindeer · 06/06/2019 22:11

Absolutely

LimeKiwi · 06/06/2019 22:15

You what? I never said I have an answer.Just if people give an "answer," it's never the right one.
My comment was to you saying you never saw people answering. Yes you have. Maybe it's not been what you want to see, but meh.
It's all there

Outofinspiration · 06/06/2019 22:17

Transphobic from some, if they don't realise they are though what do you do.

You are transphobic if you believe that only males who have had SRS or plan to soon are 'transwomen'. That is transphobia by the current definitions.

No doubt you 'can't be bothered' to link to it tho, amirite? Because these answers don't exist.

How long you going to keep playing this game? You are really not doing anyone any good, if you cant ever state your case and stick by it.

Rufusthebewilderedreindeer · 06/06/2019 22:22

Well this post is number 426 so ages yet
