You know those little things in life that people like to morally police and make you feel guilty about but you just can't muster up the shit to give?

This is a confession thread. I'll start.

I don't give a shit that you supposedly shouldn't feed bread to ducks. I don't care. Don't eat it then. People have been feeding them bread for decades and now we're supposed to bring them organic bloody walnuts or something? Or some other crap they don't want that doesn't float?
They can have my slightly mouldy bread and be grateful.

Over to you.

It being the 21st Century means nothing. Men have always been men, no matter what they wear. Be that in the year 1524 or 2024. A man in a dress is still a man.

Don't go to Scotland. You might get confused.

Good lord are we still rumbling on about ducks?

Well, this place does like to get them in a row.

What's your definition of biological women?

That was a quote from onelimeshark.

@Blondiebeachbabe You are conflating (disingenuously) transgender women with transvestites.

TVs cross dress. TGs undergo medical treatment to transition. But you already knew that.

You need to educate yourself on the difficulties trans people go through before you diminish and mock them.

You've contradicted yourself in the space of one comment.

That sentence was yours, from your post.

@Tana433

HOW MANY TIMES??????

I have clearly made the distinction between biological women and trans women.

But you are so blinded by your transphobia you can't see past your bigotry!

Trans women are not biological women but they are women!!!

Get past your antiquated notions of gender and get in the 21st century!

How can men be women??

Why do they need medical intervention to transition if they are biological women?

The bread the Victorians fed to ducks wasn't full of bloody preservatives and all the other shit they put in our supermarket loaf

The bread in Victorian times was notoriously unsafe because of all the additives in it to bulk it out 🤣. Iron8cally the only bread guaranteed to be safe was expensive white bread as it couldn't ne adulterated in the same way.

amazing.

bouquetofpheasants · 01/06/2024 15:09

Was unable to edit. You still haven’t answered why you angrily claim they are biological women and then later just as angrily that they are not biological women.
Which one is it @OneLimeShark?

@Comedycook Kindly tell me where I stated they are biological women.

In fact I have consistently state, to the contrary, that they aren't.

Trans women are trans not biological women but they are still women.

I couldn’t agree more. When I hear vocal fry or up-talking I switch off the radio for a few minutes until they’ve finished.

Oh sorry...I'm confused then. Not sure if anyone said they are biological women or if they did who it was... nevermind.

But anyway, what's a woman? It seems some people believe it's a physical state ie being female and others seem to believe it's a feeling? What do you think?

Glipsy · 01/06/2024 15:14

kudos to you LimeShark, but don’t worry, they’ll get it at some point and I expect they’ll pick it up quick enough, it’s a smart angle to take

you reap what you sow indeed

Biology lesson. A human that is not a biological woman, is a man. Because there really is only one or the other.

96% of trans women, keep their cock and balls.

The 4% who do have surgery, end up with an inside out penis, not a vagina.

Where did you go to school? 🙄

Aria999 · 01/06/2024 15:16

I preferred the thread when it was a stormy debate about duck feeding.

My things I don't care about:

Any form of sport watching. So not interested.

The affairs and doings of the royal family. I mean I wish them well enough as people but 🤷‍♀️

Missing my children's 'firsts'. No I am really not that bothered that DS took his first steps at nursery. It was exciting to see him do it again for me the next day.

I can't be bothered with mn posters who obviously hate men. I always imagine the posters have put up with years of shit they shouldn't have put up with and rather than taking responsibility and actually dealing with it all they've ended up alone and bitter and totally hate all men. Different if its something like domestic abuse which wears you right down, im not talking about that situation but loads of women take shit from a man so they aren't alone/poorer, then when he fecks off and leaves them they go to mn to slate all men everywhere like they are all obviously bastards.
And when you point out NAMALT jesus they squash you down asap.

"And when you point out NAMALT jesus they squash you down asap"

ah, @ssd - well that's because of,your internalised misogyny and/or you being a handmaiden and/or a man

It's not doing men "what the fuck they like" - they are WOMEN and you are bing transphobic!

Do not put it on men when the overwhelming advocates for this minority of trans women are BIOLOGICAL WOMEN.

You reap what you sow.

Nope. Men are not women, the categories are mutually exclusive and cannot be changed no matter how anyone 'feels'.
And as for it being the fault of women that their rights are being taken away, victim blaming much.
This is being pushed by men, yes lots of dozy naive young women are falling in line but its men that instigated and control the agenda.

Scirocco · 01/06/2024 15:19

bouquetofpheasants · 01/06/2024 14:54

So they are not biological women now? Make up your mind. (But they are not by the way.)

trans women are BIOLOGICAL WOMEN.

Please can you define 'biological woman' if you're claiming your last sentence is accurate?

MyrtlethePurpleTurtle · 01/06/2024 15:20

Perhaps dead ducks sink and the bottom of duck ponds are covered in dead bread poisoned ducks.
