To think my daughter shouldn't have to share a room with a boy!

[GColdtimer]

Because if you are in Oxfordshire, the council thinks schools should facilitate mixed sex dorm rooms for residential trips, as well as allowing mixed sex loos, changing rooms and sports.

It's on this thread thread

'gender essentialism'.

I need a new bingo dabber.

If we club together, all your rambling will be shot down and dismissed as the bullshit it is. Can't wait to get started.

Why the need to 'club together'? Why wait to get started.

Put across a coherent argument right here right now as to why women should have to share spaces where they are vulnerable with males and you've already done the job.

We are waiting....

Yes please let all of this stay up and let others see it.

I think it more shows that yesterday's homophobes are today's transphobes

TBH I'd just take 'coherent' for now.

You've just encouraged another person that their body is wrong for them because of their mind.

Wow Cushycat, you’ve actually used one of your three wishes and transed someone. worships at feet

Call I think you will be waiting a long time for a coherent argument for our lovely friend.

You must shit yourself if your husband gets up for a piss while your daughters are in bed

Scraping the barrel now I believe.

@CallofDoodee

Because that's what people do to create social and in turn, legal change. They group together and raise awareness. Durr. Now we know the alternative is some batty ladies looking to see everyone has the right shaped genitals on school trips, it will be easy to get people to see trans children are really not the issue here.

Wow Cushycat, you’ve actually used one of your three wishes and transed someone. worships at feet

Such power!

TBH I'd just take 'coherent' for now.

Laughed out loud!!!

@Cushycat

That's how it sounds to me. Oooh men, they will rape us. So fucking dumb

It is so sad that many of these women who are in relationships with men are so terrified of them. You must shit yourself if your husband gets up for a piss while your daughters are in bed.

Funny you should say that actually.

I know my husband is not a threat to women, he is a good man and a great father. Of course I have no qualms about leaving him alone with my daughter, it wouldn't even occur to me to.

By your logic, these facts mean that he should be allowed to waltz into the ladies changing rooms whenever he wants and get changed in there. Do you think that? If not, why not? He is not a predator after all.

I think it more shows that yesterday's homophobes are today's transphobes

Nope. I’m happy to share with lesbians. I’ve shared beds with lesbians many a time. I just don’t want to share with men, but then again a gay man won’t insist on forcing his way into female spaces. That one gets old pretty quickly.

This thread makes a very interesting point.

Especially from page 6 onwards where safeguarding of children is discussed.

Please do check it out.

Ooo batty ladies that's defo on the bingo card

Catch yourself on Gail. The mask is well and truly off now.

I don't sense any need to 'put across an argument', though.

It seems that Gail feels that rage, crude & sexual threatening language, & name calling express their innate identity more convincingly. It's peculiar behaviour, but hey, sometimes we 'ladies' are peculiar...

@DickKerrLadies

Because the vast majority of the time they won't even know. And trans people are more at risk of violence (sexual and otherwise) if made to use male spaces. Neutral spaces may lead to outing which could lead to violence. Men aren't an inherent enough threat of sexual violence to women to dismiss the safety of trans women

Hahaha!

That's how it sounds to me. Oooh men, they will rape us. So fucking dumb

Why do you think that when women go for a night out they are encouraged to ensure that they dress appropriately, don't get too drunk, do go home alone, don't walk anywhere in the dark, and basically don't have too much fun?

Or is it only when it means a male might not be able to do exactly as he pleases that you think that women trying to reduce their risk of assault are 'so fucking dumb'?

FFS.

I agree Purple I find it difficult to read the words rape and child in the same sentence let alone use child rape to mock other posters.
It's very odd and I must admit I have never seen child rape used that way by anyone before on mn.

@CallofDoodee

As a true crime buff, I can tell you that there are many men being revealed as serial rapist and murderers as a result of geneology searches from DNA at crime scenes. Your husband could easily be out raping women considering these men are such a huge threat to us. Luckily it just seems he's not doing it in your house. If we believe the women here, men should be locked up.

I can tell Gail had definitely scarcely given this a thought before the 'batty ladies' started explaining their concerns.

Never even considered sexed/gendered/neutral spaces. Even the teensiest bit.
