Well just that really….I have gay, straight, bi sexual and transsexual friends and absolutely have no problem with that, very much a do what makes you happy person.

Butttt….AIBU to think the world is going a bit mad with all the non-female, cis female and whatever other labels are floating about. I’m a woman and that’s that, you are either biologically a male or biologically a female and I don’t mean that in an insensitive way dress how you like and date who you like but surely we can’t just be inventing different/new sexes and telling straight women they are no longer a woman they are now XYZ?

It actually isn't. It's super regressive, stereotypical bullshit.

Some people are born neither male or female.

An original idea for a thread, good job.

CrispsnDips · 23/06/2023 13:43

Had to apply for a new Driving Licence and it was refreshing when they asked if I was male or female - could have been a multitude of options 😃

Rainbowshit · 23/06/2023 13:44

It's regressive and dangerous and as always it's females that are being harmed most.

Bullshit. Every single human in the planet is either male or female.

But they’re not they either have male or female organs…that’s the bit I struggle with. As I’ve said dress how you like and do what you like but you were 100% born with a sex? I don’t mean that to sound harsh but to me it just feels like that’s a fact

To claim a person is neither male or female is incredibly offensive to those with DSDs
They are still male or female and the differences/disorders belong to one sex or the other. It also us a medical condition and nothing to do with the explosion of 'identify as'

😂😂😂 Good one

Uppitydown · 23/06/2023 13:46

There's 2 sexes.

Everything else is personality.

Hmm
gooseduckchicken · 23/06/2023 13:46

There's a difference between sex and gender.

Things evolve - you say that we shouldn't tell a "straight woman" she is xyz. There was a time when lots of people would be appalled at having to identify a woman as "straight"; straight would have been the default, to presume anything else would have been an insult.

The same may happen with cis.

Sonographer at my scan: "would you like to know the sex of your baby"

Me: "yes please"

Pretty sure there are only two options 🙄

Mamabear04 · 23/06/2023 13:47

Some people are intersex so there are three sexes, female, male and intersex. Gender is a whole other story.

Not sure how my ndn's dc will get a driving licence as they are now a cat apparently

Bonkers.

ButterCrackers · 23/06/2023 13:47

I deal with the pain of being a woman so people that try to delete women annoy me. Periods, childbirth, after childbirth issues that are for life, breastfeeding are what I’ve been through/deal with. People can say they’re a woman and that’s nice but the true physical and mental issues of being a woman are only experienced by actual women.

Toottooot · 23/06/2023 13:47

You’re either a mannie or a wifey.

CrispsnDips · 23/06/2023 13:48

When a baby I knew of was born neither male or female, the parents chose and an operation ensued…for that child there may have been complexities growing up. The hope would be that they could decide whether they were male or female ..my brain cannot compute the variances
