Firstly, I'm a trans ally

Everyone is up in arms about trans women. What seems to be forgotten these people are human beings. Where is humanity. You have probably been sharing toilets and coming into contact with trans women every day and have no idea. You only hear about the few bad ones. In a public toilet, you go into a cubical and pee. Its not like you're sat there in full public view with your knickers at your ankles.

What has been forgotten also, as many females are changing to. So trans men. So you're in hospital in a ward. The woman in the next bed, identifys as George, clit is now a penis fully working and you're in the next bed! Same person can wander around female only spaces as the law has changed. George can now only be searched by a female. By the way George a transgender man is a pervert! All hypothetical but nobody has brought this up.

Just a thought.

MN hates all trans people
I don't hate trans people.

I do believe that sex and gender are two different things and that sex is binary. I also know that you can't change sex.

Wanting to protect my rights and my safety as a woman does not mean I hate trans people.

I'm not quite sure why women are so scared of trans women.
They've been around for longer than people realise without much fanfair.
I don't know of anyone assaulted by a trans person. I'm not saying that doesn't happen but it's not something you see in comparison to how many women are killed by men.

Isla bryon and Karen Smith apparently they think they are women, they are trans. They have raped biological women with what was referred to as their female penises. This shit is real and dangerous.

Stop being so dramatic, it helps no one.

Men, no matter how/what they identify as, need to stay out of female spaces. It's not that fucking difficult 🙄

Certainly Lakeland has missed a trick if it doesn’t stock vaginal dilators. I expect they will turn up seasonally in the Aisles of Random Stuff in the discounters, between the fishing gear and the doormats and birdbaths weeks.

Please buy a biology GCSE book and acquaint yourself with the basics of biology. Humans like most mammals have binary sex, either male or female AND they cannot change between the two. And as a menopausal woman no I don't want to be having a menopausal flood in a toilet next to some badly made up bloke in a dress, be in hospital next to any man dress or no dress, or be caught in a communal changing room with a man. Ever.

The suicide threats are classic abusive male aren't they? Very "If you leave me, I'll kill myself" vibes.

You took the words right out my mouth with this. Just another intimidation tactic, another way to try and control

SugarPlumpFairyCakes · 17/04/2025 18:02

Trans women are not women.

Trans men are not men.

Trans women cannot come into women only spaces.

Trans need a third space. Carve out their own instead of being macarons women's space.

No hate. Just matter of fact.

Sortumn · 17/04/2025 18:02

This is great for trans men too ( women who say they are men) as it means those with a GRC retain their sex based rights. This is important when it comes to employment and maternity for example.

AccidentallyWesAnderson · 17/04/2025 18:03

It’s amazing how many ‘MN hates all trans people’ posters choose to post - on Mumsnet.

Thenose · 17/04/2025 18:03

I'll never have a problem with women using women's spaces. I don't care how they're dressed, what kind of medical procedures they've had or what they call themselves. I just can't stress enough how little these superficial, surface level things matter to me.

Oh the death threat post. ( ticks off bingo card) Yes, funny how threats of violence are never far from the surface when it comes to men being upset about something. Someone earlier posted the site where the TRAs post their hate against women, you know, barbed wire baseball bats for rapes, that sort of thing. Never seems to be transwomen being threatened though, so that’s a new twist. @StMarie4me

This is the type of ridiculous hyperbole that's contributed to the current standoff and why women have been forced to become more militant about protecting their rights.

GC women don't "hate" trans people.

However, GC women do care about the rights and safety of women. And amazingly, we can do this at the same time as recognising that it's difficult for individuals who identify as trans.

But no matter how difficult things may be, male-bodied individuals STILL can't have access to our single-sex spaces.

The fact that is being described as "hate" tells you everything you need to know about the inherent dishonesty in the trans community.

Oh, and also, we don't care how many genders there are, how long they've been in existence, or how many genders someone has. The only thing that matters in terms of protecting women's safety and privacy is biological sex. Gender is irrelevant as it's nothing more than a feeling.

Ah yes women refusing to capitulate to the demands of men is hateful - see rule 2

Rules of misogyny

1. Women are responsible for what men do.

2. Women saying no to men is a hate crime.

3. Women speaking for themselves are exclusionary and selfish.

4. Women’s opinions are violence against men, thus male violence against women is justified.

5. Women and Feminism must be useful to men or they are worthless.

6. Women who go around being female AT men by menstruating and breastfeeding babies deserve punishment.

7. Women should always be grateful to men for everything.

8. Men are whatever men say they are and women are whatever men say they are.

9. Men always know the “real reasons” for everything women do and say.

10. The worst thing about male violence is that it makes men look bad.

11. Whatever women suffer from, it is worse when it happens to men.

12. Women’s ability to recognize male behavior patterns is misandry.

13. Angry women are crazy. Angry men have trouble expressing themselves.

14. Women have all the rights they need: The right to remain silent.

15. Men are the default human. Women are strange subhuman others.

16. Everyone owns and controls women’s bodies except the women themselves.

Toptotoe · 17/04/2025 18:05

OP have you actually seen pictures of the fake penises and vaginas - they are awful. The fake vagina is a wound that is constantly trying to heal and has to be kept open.
They are no longer fully functioning genitals.

ninety seven percent of sexual offences are committed by men. Women need safe spaces.

The existence (for those who believe in this) of "multiple genders" doesn’t mean humans can change sex. They can’t. Trans ideology is based on outmoded stereotypes - a man ought to be able to behave or present however he likes, without having to deny that he’s a man (and the same for women). If men really don't want to be called men let them come up with another word. But not "woman" - that’s already taken.

ghostyslovesheets · 17/04/2025 18:05

I absolutely do not hate trans people so you can stop that silly argument now

also ‘gender’ is a ridiculous social construct based on stereotypes for each sex and absolutely not something a sensible human would base a whole movement on

Teajenny7 · 17/04/2025 18:06

You can usually spot a transwoman in the toilet. They often leave the seat up and pee all over the place.
I was in a pub that had an excellent piece of graffiti.
"If you are going to use the ladies' learn to pee like a lady"

nam3c4ang3 · 17/04/2025 18:08

Oh ffs don’t make me swear so close to Good Friday. On what planet does a clit become a penis. Stop this rubbish for gods sake - when did the human race become so stupid as to believe this. You are being disrespectful towards women what’s wrong with you.

So many headlines of “Woman kills partner”, “Woman strangles stranger”, “Woman convicted of abusing child in the street” when the “woman” is a MAN.

and as far as I know the rate of offending is similar to the rate of men offending - unsurprisingly because they ARE MEN.

Yep, coercive control 101. Give me what i want, give in to my demands, or I'll kill myself.

However for the younger trans identifying people they have been told by allies, trans rights organisations etc that they will be harmed, they are at risk of suicide, they will be banned from public spaces. No wonder they are freaked out, and shame on the adults that told them lies.
