To think this is fantastic, of course. Now can we sort out women’s rights wrt women’s spaces, and stop this 1%Of women have penises nonsense?

Respect biological women’s spaces or be sued, that kind of thing?

This has nothing to do with trans people- why can’t you just celebrate that women going through menopause now have legal rights?

Really? What does “this 1%Of women have penises nonsense” refer to then?

Anything to avoid acknowledging the actual and obvious issue that allowing men to self identify into the female category has terrible consequences for women's rights and safety
It's a thread about the menopause!
Wait, are you actually saying it is about trans /womens issues and another identikit trans thread, as OP says it's not - aye, ok, looks like it 🙄

It's a thread about women's rights, it's right there in the OP. If that's not your thing, fine, but please stop denigrating those who engage because, boohoo, some of us noticed the penis shaped elephant in the room (apologies for that particular mental image!). If you want a thread solely about the menopause feel free to start one, or even contribute on that subject here rather than telling people what they can't discuss.

This particular OP popped up on a thread about jeans in Style and Beauty yesterday and said "If men can be women, anything goes." As you do.

I’ve never heard that said anywhere so you tell me? It’s not mentioned on the screenshot in the OP.

Or are we just going to ignore the major victory for women here with rights on menopause.

Or would you just rather talk about penises?

Eh? It's literally mentioned in the OP's title.

Because that’s not what she’s doing. It’s patently obvious what her agenda is from the thread title. And she's constantly doing it.

As OP’s point was obvious from the title, you must have opened the thread just to be enraged. Women are allowed to discuss things you disagree with, you know.

And yes, men gate-crashing women-only spaces is indeed a safety and women’s rights issue.

NoMoreFalafelsForYou · 23/02/2024 01:15

Why conflate it with the menopause though?
All threads don't have to be trans related. Why conflate the two, why not celebrate that menopausal issues in the workplace will be recognised?

Exactly.

People constantly trying to shut down debate is so tiresome.

Stop trying to police what people say.

Well, the policing of speech and constant cries of ‘transphobia’ have led to the current situation haven’t they?

Bit disingenuous to pretend otherwise.

What current situation? The irony of you policing by accusing someone else of it seems to have gone right over your head.

The OP and others are trying to stand up for women’s rights. Which essentially helps to protect vulnerable women and girls. That is the very definition of being ‘on the right side’.

Katharineblum · 23/02/2024 09:49

@Forgottenlily maybe concentrate on the vulnerable women who’ve been impacted by 14 years of shit Tory policies including allowing trans women into female prisons and allowing trans women to take part in female sports eh ? But no Labour will be worse. The issue of the 1% penis havers is a not so sly dig at Starmer’s fumbling response when asked about women who have penises and threads like this no doubt will arise more frequently to bolster the tories flagging support.
As an aside what’s your opinion on said 14 years of Tory governance ?

WickedSerious · 23/02/2024 10:10

Mr Starmer will sort it out,it'll be all green fields and golden farts once he's in charge.

@WickedSerious well I’m sure it will have to be better than the bloody Brexit unicorns and sunlit rolling hills we were promised by the shower we’ve got at the mo eh ?

Katharineblum · 23/02/2024 10:39

@Forgottenlily come on what’s your opinion on the current shower ? Notice how no one can ever cite anything good that the current government has done just trans trans trans 😂

Don’t worry, I am not British and won’t be voting in the GE.

In answer to your question, the Tories are a shower of shit, but I agree with @WickedSerious that Labour would certainly not be any better for women.
