Bonus holes

[uneffingbelievable]

The world has gone bonkers!
Apparently there is a charity who in conjunction with the LGBTQ community have put forward this is the acceptable way for vaginas to be described, so that trans women do not feel excluded.
Allegedly to help them come forward for cervical screening for a piece of anatomy they physically do not have.

When does this madness stop - the minority seem to have the misled belief that they speak for the majority of women and can rename our bodies.

AIBU - I do not have a bonus hole - I am a woman
YABU - men can decide what women call their bodies

The charity is a dedicated cervical cancer charity. No men can get cervical cancer (not not even India willoughby) so the only people who use the charity are women.

There may well be a very small number of women who have such deep seated internalised misogyny that they refer to their vaginas as bonus holes to gay male potential sexual partners. But they all know they have vaginas.

If I call my vagina a fandango in a sexual context, I don't need my nurse who is doing my smear to know that. Like all women, I'm capable of using grown up words when talking to HCPs. It's unbelievably patronising to women who have different gender identities to produce this guide.

It's not aimed at trans women, despite the OP saying so.

Wtf

And no, I don't think cervical cancer charities should use the term bonus hole when talking to their clients, anymore than they should refer to a woman as a fat slag because that's what her husband calls her.

Here is the link to the guide, again, just so it's clear:

'Language to use when supporting trans men and/or non-binary people'

If you're not a trans man or non-binary, you and your bonus hole are safe

Using the correct words is essential not only for medical reasons but also for practical reasons.

Why is it only female parts are getting renamed? Shouldn’t prostate and lady dick also be called something else because let’s be honest both are offensive. One to women and the other should be offensive to those who have body dysmorphia.

All of this, 'you're getting the wrong end of the stick, nobody would ever offend women by referring to them as...' seemed a lot more believable before the nhs produced health literature for women described as cervix havers and government funded reports encouraged the use of chest feeding within the nhs.

I'm GC so not defending this but I think you have misunderstood. It's so trans men don't have to refer to vaginas.

sounds like a bit of DailyMail fearmongering to me. let’s just leave it shall we?

And the word woman was erased from menopause literature.

Isn’t this explained during the counselling stage that smears are still required until surgery?

I've seen this on twitter. Damaged young women, covered in self-harm scars, who call themselves trans and post pictures of their "bonus holes" for all to see.

Stop being silly

I need to understand WHY a trans-identifying female person would prefer to call their vagina a "bonus hole".

Anyone?

Dies that mean a penis is a bonus pole? Bonus stick?

what do we think

I’m yet to see marketing aimed at those with bonus poles nor to ejaculation people

Maybe someone could link one

*I need to understand WHY a trans-identifying female person would prefer to call their vagina a "bonus hole".

Anyone?*

Because they're expecting gay men to have sex with them.

Like many of these things, it's not quite as bad as it appears on the surface- "bonus hole" is simply one of the terms people might choose to use about themselves. I can't imagine why- it's awful. But....

What are transwomen referring to their penises as in prostrate cancer booklets? Does anyone know?

Surely if you have a vagina you know you should have a smear. Whether or not you present yourself as male, if you have a vagina you certainly are aware of it.
Seems bizarre that money is being directed at male presenting females to attend smears, surely this isn’t a major problem. I’m fairly sure it’s just another attempt to dehumanise women actually.

Because they're expecting gay men to have sex with them.

Who'd have thought you could convert gay men with a crafty rebranding?

Bonus for penis havers. Because all a vagina is is a hole to fuck. 🙄 not even the primary fuck hole but the secondary one.

@VickyEadieofThigh I personally don't understand it either, I think it's an unpleasant phrase, but I don't believe that should stop other people doing it. The example I always use is that I don't understand why any woman would want to have sex with a man, but I don't believe I have a right to stop other women having sex with men just because it's not for me!
