AIBU to think women should not be banned from Social media for asking the question - Thread 2

[Thewithesarehere]

Many women have been suspended from sm for asking the question:
“Do you believe that male sexed people should be allowed access to changing rooms and showers for female sexed people and teenagers?”
Seems like a perfectly reasonable question which we should be allowed to ask.

Let’s vote with our AIBU.

we need a wide eye emoji

We do. I did have a look, but nothing really suitable!

WHAT'S A WOMAN, @ROOTYT00T?
Apologies for the Caps but this is the most basic question in all of this.
On here, it's Adult Human Female, while men are Adult Human Males.
I'd have said that was a pretty decent definition but it does exclude Trans women. Who aren't female.

I did a quick google of gynophobic. In so doing I came across this word Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia - completely off tangent, but thought I might share. I need a bit of light relief sometimes.

Just googled the meaning of that, how very cruel of whoever named that phobia

This is the only one I could find.

Something like this?

and this one - perhaps this is the problem really? Ommetaphobia

Perfect

@AryaStarkWolf - I know, right? :)

@AryaStarkWolf that is cute and creepy in equal measure, but I like it.

I think it captures both the mood and our naive lady-ness perfectly

While the bug is on its tea-break - anyone know if threads about JKR are against the guidelines?

There is no ban about discussing JKR. As always , respectfulness and if there is negativity, it should not be spiteful or dishonest

@RootyT00t
If the sex change surgery
which is undertaken by a tiny, tiny minority of Transwomen
changes their essential being

what about transplant surgery?
Does the recipient suddenly become the donor?

Guidelines for discussion are on the feminist chat forum, pinned to the top. There are 5 "rules" that are quite sensible I think.

Thanks midge

The odd thing is that all the trans activist types I know, would think Rooty was being transphobic as fuck with all this talk of men feeling like women & changing into women.

So there's that .

Ha yes cor

You don't have to have gender dysphoria to be trans nor should having surgery or taking hormones be required to "join the sister hood" . Many are perfectly happy with their bodies and widening the bandwidth of being a woman. Its transphobic to imply otherwise.

I am the real Barbara of Kent, middle name Hyacinth.

And I voted YANBU, although I would never use anything so common as social media.

Well I popped out to walk the dog and Barbara of Kent entered the room!

RootyToot no one is denying the existence of trans and this is most definitely not about an obsession with toilets.

I think there is more than one Barbara of Kent @life

I inadvertently introduced Barbara to the Innocent Smoothie thread! She's everywhere!
