How dare they.

@Unpaidviewer wow, he's actually advocating for children to have surgery and wombs and titties? Steering leave the kid's alone??

The irony!!

Why do you think women should ignore protesters openly carrying posters calling for the shooting, gouging out of eyes and physically harming women?
This is the problem. Nobody has ever said no to this lot. Every single meeting of women - Filia conferences, Let Women Speak, professional conferences about safeguarding children, political discussions - is met with masked demonstrators issuing threats, carrying placards threatening to sexually assault women, disrupting events and abusing and often physically assaulting women.
Every. bloody. meeting.

This is a sustained campaign of violence against women - aided and abetted by not only the trans lobby groups who often organise the protests and never speak out against the threats but also ordinary people who frame women pointing out the violence as being "anti trans".

To me, men pretending to be women are never vulnerable. Nobody forced you to bring up the topic of and post extensively about your son, you did that - to guilt us into feeling bad. You can’t be surprised when people respond with views of their own. This thread was about the protest, you could’ve just stuck to that.

Oh, now we are the thread police.

How many gender related threads are there on this board? How many in the past week?

This is the second gender related thread I have posted on. I am just as entitled as you are to post on any thread I choose.

The good guys have DEFINITELY been the ones throughout history who have oppressed women on the basis of their sex while failing to recognise them as a distinct group of people with needs pertaining to that sex.

Wow, and they say we are the one's who want to reduce what a woman is to biology and body parts. When they are literally fetishizing out body parts and treating them like a costume they can slip on, ad demanding that we all pay for it and their designer surgeries.

I think they grossly misunderstand how the vast majority of people will see this kind of thing.

So they want to call themselves women, be legally recognised as women and then be violated along with all biological women ?
Logic isn’t their strong point.

Yes and I am just as entitled to respond with my own opinion.

They’ll be sorry if they go the whole wombs and titties and neo vagina route. For one thing it makes it a lot harder to piss in the street, as most women know instinctively, which is why we don’t.

I am not on here saying you can't post am I?

@Diverze
Yes, that would be great IF they mobilised to fight for third spaces.
In fact IF they had done it in the past, the SC ruling wouldn’t have been needed. They would have had plenty of third spaces by now. But they are not protesting to get third space.
They are angry because they have lost access to women’s spaces, where they shouldn’t have been allowed in the first place.
Women’s spaces are for biological women and for biological women only.
IF they ever decide that they want their own spaces instead of stealing ours, most women will support them.

Yeah ... we've heard the 'I'm just as entitled to use your space as you' thing before.

We don't agree and the Supreme Court agrees with us.

😝

Also because of the threat of sexual violence women have a right to decide who is around when they take their clothes off.

I won’t be supporting them. They can battle bravely on by themselves, as we’ve had to do.

I would amend those lyrics

clears throat, stands up straight:

“Give us wombs and titties, a good haircut and a decent conditioner”

No? Nor am I saying that about you?

Actually what I am trying to do is remind any posters who have not yet been completely radicalised that there are many ordinary trans people out there who are not the violent and aggressive TRAs who spew hatred at women. That most trans people mean no harm. That doesn't mean they should be allowed into women's spaces and I am not saying that. I am just trying to depolarise viewpoints a bit.

If it's making you feel guilty then that's on you, and it's presumably because it doesn't fit with your image of trans people as represented by the shouty TRAs. Maybe giving a bit of cognitive dissonance.

Mumsnet always claims that there's no transphobia here. All I can say is that some of these posts and some of these posters sail dangerously close to it.

That isn't what was said.This is the kind of escalating hyperbole we have come to expect from TRAs though.

The fact is your DC may be the most lovely person in the world, genuinely.

But the fact is also that plenty of these TRAs are horrible people screaming abuse at women for daring to exist and wishing awful injuries on them.

And the point stands for mums of boys. Of COURSE your Brian wouldn't go round raping girls - but someone's son does that.

It is lovely for you to be supportive of your child, that is how it should be. But don't make excuses for the bad apples. As pp said: they all have mums who think the sun shines out of their collective arses too. All the mums can't be right all of the time.

You literally said I shouldn't come on every thread about gender issues , like two posts ago, look:

"Then perhaps those individual posters should stop going on to every gender identity related thread..."

Where do they plan on getting wombs from? The only way would be harvesting them from women, dead or alive.

Then they wonder why everyone gets the impression they're a tad unhinged.

Yes, stop if you can’t handle the responses.

Hey, nice try but Peony doubled down and clarified that yes, she was talking to me about my young person.

This is what she clarified:
"I said you don't know what he's like when he's not around you. You say 'gardening' like that proves he's a gentle soul who wouldn't hurt a fly. But acting sad and vulnerable in public, and partaking in knitting/gardening/baking, before logging on and spewing pure misogyny is a familiar profile. I'm sure many women on here know what I mean."

Yes, I can read. Also, no. I don't anymore. But thank you for the question and I hope you have a pleasant evening.

Disgraceful. Why aren't the police arresting them.
