Are mumsneters TERFs

[ChedderGorgeous]

I started a thread on the new taskmaster line up here. This greatly angered a taskmaster fb group who screenshot the conversation and agreed all mumsnetters were TERFs. AIBU to suggest this isn't the general perception of others when you have mentioned mumsnet ? Ps. I still haven't heard of John Robins !

You must be new around here, though you've certainly got the attitude down right! Mods are constantly dealing with it anyway, it's nothing new.

I see it all over the place but I don’t know what it means so no idea 😁

Pretty sure you know exactly what I mean.

I avoid that board because of the transphonia. You go look if you want.

There's a whole board that appears to be solely dedicated to transphobic posts, somewhere in the feminism section. Have fun.

Again, any examples? Any at all? Come on, at least try.

Mods are constantly dealing with it anyway, it's nothing new.

Yes, just like they're also refereeing Israel v Palestine threads, dangerous dog threads, breastfeeding threads. All the areas where people are vocal for their particular viewpoint.

A male cannot become female. Or vice versa. That is just a fact.

A person can have extensive surgical or medical intervention to give them the appearance of being the opposite sex. Some people with dysphoria about their sexed body, may feel this is the best way for them to manage their dysphoria.

Other people may not go down the medical route but still wish to dress and present in a way associated with the opposite sex in their culture.

But this does not mean they are the opposite sex.

Nor does it mean predatory men will not take advantage of the safe guarding loophole of removing sex -segregated spaces.

Nor does it mean a male saying they have a trans identity is less of risk than other men to women.

Nor does it remove the sex based advantage of males in sport against females.

And that is why we need to sex segregated spaces. The invention of gender ideology did not remove that need.

There's a whole board, the feminism and gender one. Just click into it and see for yourself.

Vague accusations. No examples, except one poster who has clarified that she believes women who support women only spaces are transphobic. Fair enough. Then most of us are transphobic.

Three posts now of 'transphobia!' and STILL no examples. Colour me shocked.

I was born a male I still am a male and I still have the same genitals I was born with hope that answers your question

Whinging about transphobia doesn't really have any bearing on the material reality of needing to talk about biological sex and what women need for their safety, privacy and dignity.

‘I know they’re there, I can sense it. I’ve not actually been to look though, as they’re evil and make my feels go all hurty’

stating that they will never accept that somebody biologically born a male, can then become female. But I can.

This is fascinating to me. You think someone can literally change sex because of their thoughts and feelings? Really, are you being honest here?

Or do you think there is something physical someone can do to change sex- if so, what?

Yes. You've described modding. Not sure why you even posted this reply tbh.

How about reframing 'transphobia' as 'pro women'?

We don't have an 'irrational fear' of trans- in fact, we mostly couldn't care less if you want to wear a dress and a slash of lippy (tho sorry if we snigger a bit), but we draw the line at you then entering female spaces.

Thats not a phobia, that's basic safety, privacy and dignity.

Sorry four. Why do I have to look for myself? It's your accusation. Back it up.

I'm on that board a lot. Yet to see any transphobia. Lots of defence of single sex spaces though.

Yes. You've described modding. Not sure why you even posted this reply tbh.

Not sure why you're posting any of your posts tbh, they add nothing.

Odd.

i dont get the connecton but oftgen on X twitter they have a dig at mumsnet

last week is we're diablists because one post said does sen get overused

i dont even think anyone agreed but they blanket called us all the same

Feel free to scroll past them.

Ah "don't know don't care" the calling cry of a huge proportion of men when it comes to women's rights! Women's stuff innit

Odd

Accurate.

Right.

You appear to be saying that something you haven't read is transphobic, and you won't read it because its transphobic, and you won't give any examples of the transphobia of the thing you haven't read, because you have not read it because its so transphobic.

That's not really a respectable position to take, is it?

Feel free to scroll past them.

Yes, you can do the same to mine! How about we both post what we want to. You can carry on making your non points and I will make the posts I want to as well! Isn't freedom of speech great!
