I'm not interested in someone 'debunking the trans agenda' or how no one on here is like that, all I'm interested in is if any pro-trans Mumsnetters could pop up so I don't feel alone Grin

If they have had operations etcetera and are no longer classified as men then they cannot go here.

What nonsense is this? Operations do not change your sex. Once a man, you'll always be classified as a man.

This is anti trans

Is believing ciswomen shouldn’t use the men’s toilets anti-ciswomen?

  1. Yes transmen are welcome to enter female spaces because they're women. If they don't want to that's fine too.
  1. They're still men and they don't go to a women's rape crisis centre. What's hard to understand?

They should go to a crisis centre for trans people. Don't you know they exist?

Trans men entering womens spaces only makes it easier for actual men to just waltz into a womens toilet with everyone assuming they are a trans man.

@Lilieee my condolences! I would love to find a place to celebrate our trans friends but this clearly isn't the venue!! Thank you anyway - I think I need to mute the vitriol now.

Womn, girls and rape survivors fighting desperately for our basic human rights is 'vitriol'.

Now I've heard it all.

The suffragettes are rolling over in their graves.

From the points you made. Duh.

I'm not anti trans, but I'm extremely anti mis gendering people. I'm a she/her. I want to be this. I react swiftly to anyone calling they otherwise. If I sew a comment where someone's gender was taken away by someone else without reason or logic, I will react

With a human approach!

For the most part women’s changing rooms are staffed by ….. women. And I don’t mean young girls. Pleasant, professional, but it is clear that their main function is to provide security rather than to hand out towels (also part of the job)

It’s a sad world we live in where there has to be someone employed for security in a female toilet!

Gorgonemilezola · 09/07/2024 08:09

Lilieee · 09/07/2024 08:04

No, I do not.

Since I am of the view that TWAW, saying I am a woman makes it possible to assume I am a trans woman, which I am not.

Do you really believe that trans women are actual women?

If so, I can't take you seriously, I'm sorry.

Such people need to be in isolated prisons with seperate cells and isolation that are specifically constructed for sex offenders, regardless of gender.

But they don’t exist. We barely have enough prison space as it is let along building lots of isolation rooms. Sex offenders are put in the general prison population unless an extreme risk to others (presumably they would not be a risk to other men). There isn’t the space nor the budget to be building separate spaces.

you can celebrate them all you want - but don’t try and tell people they are women and that women she up of give up their identity, language, sports and spaces to accommodate someone masquerading as a woman, often using very harmful stereotypes- pushing women’s rights back.

Celebrate your friends by all means, but I don’t need to play along . Fight for third spaces for them if you want to do something positive.

Are you saying you need 'proof' that MEN are not marginalised? The oppressor class?

Are you saying you need 'proof' that a therapist would recommend that you don't give in to the 'I will kill myself' method of manipulation and control?

I'm a staunch feminist - I have been in a bathroom with an obviously trans woman and have never felt threatened.

Gender taken away?!

Agree, although 'regardless of gender' - are you suggesting a transman be put here, sharing a shower with a sex offender transwoman?

Or do you think prisons should be sex segregated?

MissScarletInTheBallroom · 09/07/2024 02:14

Depends how you are defining your terms, OP.

If being "pro trans" means you believe trans people should be free to live their lives as they please, free from oppression, discrimination and harassment, provided they aren't harming anyone else, then I expect you will find that almost everyone on Mumsnet (and in wider society) is "pro trans".

If being "anti trans" means understanding that humans can't change sex and sometimes sex matters, and believing that women should be allowed single sex spaces and sports and that we shouldn't be performing irreversible medical interventions on children and young people with gender related distress, then I expect you will find that most people on Mumsnet (and in wider society) are "anti trans".

This....
I will stand shoulder to shoulder with you for your right to present yourself as you see fit and use whatever pronouns/name fits your identity best.... for your dignity...
However, if you look for rights etc that impinge on my rights to safety and my dignity (or anyone elses), you'll find me a little less accommodating

I knew saying I don't want people looking for a fight wouldn't work. Sad

I was trying to say that I'm a non-trans woman, so people don't accuse me of being a man and invading womens spaces.

We would have understood “woman”.

mighty sick of the hatred and vitriol and just bloody-mindedness that seems so prevalent on almost every thread on mn

Yet again ... do you want to give us some examples of what you're talking about?

We might get 'one' example before the end of time as we know it. Don't hold your breath.

I've been in a ladies toilet with a masturbating transwoman. So, you know, experiences vary.

Cis is just a descriptor, like trans.

No need to get so frustrated over it.

You're either a woman or a transwoman.
So 'cis' is not needed.

Are you seriously of the view that a male with his cock and balls in place are a woman? Are you genuinely serious?
