To think women should not be forced to wax male genitals

It’s in Canada but this case is quite shocking in it’s absurdity. A man who identifies as a woman is suing 16 women beauticians who didn’t want to have him in their home or to carry out the process. The UK generally looks to Canada for guidance in transgender rights legislation. This article explains some if the issues. www.spiked-online.com/2019/07/19/canadas-bizarre-trans-waxing-controversy/amp/?__twitter_impression=true

I saw this yesterday and couldn't believe it was real, it's absolutely ridiculous for so many reasons. YANBU.

thebrendanoneillshow.podbean.com/e/meghan-murphy-the-misogyny-in-trans/ have a listen to Meghan Murphy discussing this case. Very concerning.

ThatssomebadhatHarry · 19/07/2019 21:34

The more I read shit like this the more I realise if transwomen were actually women then they would never expect other women to be put in this position. Never expect women to share safe spaces and understand what it means to women to have to.

Chuffin · 19/07/2019 21:37

Absolutely unbelievable.

State sanctioned abuse.

This story needs to be spread far and wide and that MAN needs locking up.

Well said. Totally agree with you.

slipperywhensparticus · 19/07/2019 21:48

For one the skin is different they were not trained in Male genitalia and they could have injured her badly

But hey let's try and get money from people who DONT want to hurt you 🤦‍♀️

IhaveALooBrush · 19/07/2019 21:48

Yanbu
I suggest beauticians everywhere advertise as 'vulvas only' rather than 'female only'
This batshit will continue.

PizzaTaste · 19/07/2019 21:49

Didn’t we have a post about this already

hibbledibble · 19/07/2019 22:00

There has already been a thread on this

Gingerkittykat · 19/07/2019 22:04

very long threat about ball waxing fiasco

JY is named

Lots of talk about JY's antics on the feminism boards but good it is getting the attention of women who might not normally read there.

Nothingsuitsmelikeasuit · 19/07/2019 22:09

I wouldn’t want someone who was trained in waxing the genitals I don’t have waxing me. Ouch. This person must have a different motivation.

Redshoeblueshoe · 19/07/2019 22:09

One woman went to 26 lawyers to defend her.
They all refused.
Canada should be fucking ashamed

Toorahtoorahaye · 19/07/2019 22:17

I wanted to post on AIBU, I don’t call myself a feminist.

I don’t call myself a feminist.

Why not? Has the patriarchy done such a good job of socialising you, that you’re too scared to put your head above the parapet? The feminists that you don’t want to be part of, have been fighting this shit for years, in order to protect females, from creeps like this.

Redshoeblueshoe · 19/07/2019 22:27

I'm glad you posted on AIBU, people don't know what's happening.
They'll only notice when it's too late.

dragonflyflew · 19/07/2019 22:33

I’m getting so sick of this now. Even cis men are now getting in on the women-bashing.
It’s as though all the people biologically born male are ganging up in a huge backlash against women, feminism, equality and women’s rights. I’ve been attacked (verbally) by straight white men for using the word ‘men’ when describing something men had done. They said it was jarring and unnecessary.
I hate it. It’s making a mockery of the LGBTQ movement, it’s turning women and lesbians into pariahs and is going to make for a very confusing time for our young people, especially those questioning their sexuality but vulnerable kids too. It’s the empowers new clothes, nobody’s defending us for fear of looking prejudiced.

theunrivalledjoysofparenting · 19/07/2019 22:35

Why are you not a feminist? 🤔

Chuffin · 19/07/2019 22:38

Why on earth wouldn’t you be a feminist???

YourEggnogIsBetterThanMine · 19/07/2019 22:46

I don’t call myself a feminist.

Why?

S1naidSucks · 19/07/2019 22:50

Stop with the cis nonsense dragonflyflew. It’s an offensive and unnecessary label to put on people and as a result is on a list of banned words on Mumsnet. Men/man women/woman is the proper description and needs no prefix. That prefix is being pushed by the TRAs while they us OUR descriptors for themselves.

S1naidSucks · 19/07/2019 22:51

Ps. I do agree with everything else you say.

Toorahtoorahaye · 19/07/2019 23:00

Because i look at what feminism has become and don’t agree with the direction it’s taking. Most feminist groups would throw me out for being transphobic, sex work phobic and porn phobic. And I don’t see myself as a radfem either.

I think you don't actually have a clue what feminism is.
