What the heck! Trans women get periods apparently

AIBU that this is the most ridiculous thing for a company to claim.

"Can a transgender woman have a period? Absolutely. Many trans and gender-diverse people menstruate. Whether you’re a woman, a man, non-binary or agender, your body may menstruate too."

That's tonight's nightmare sorted!

Marks and Spencers had reviews on their women's underwear from men saying how naughty and sexy they felt when they were wearing it.

I appreciate some underwear can feel sexy when you're wearing it because you intend to have sex.

Most of the time though putting your M&S knickers on in a morning is as routine and boring as making a cup of tea or putting the bin out.

Yeah, but you're the wrong sort of woman and you're womaning all wrong. So what would you know 🤷🏻‍♀️

Women who are only women by accident of birth aren't really women. Only those who chose to become women are truly women

(According to the LARPers, anyway).

They are a great product but I no longer buy them because of their marketing. I want to feel valued as a customer not down the pecking order behind the larger handed customers.

I wonder if the pupils get disciplined when they fall about laughing at the sight of him...

If I was a parent in that school I would be objecting (refusing) to have my child taught by such a mentaly disturbed teacher who was so unprofessional as to bring his kink (mental health breakdown for politeness) into a classroom.

Children have their own crap to deal with rather than be forced to pander to an adult whos sole reason for contact with them is a contractual obligation to provide the
children with a education.

And it would be the same objection if it was an actual woman who had lost her grip on reality. But if it was a woman with that presentation I suspect would be stopped in its track before she walked into a classroom🤨

@AnSolas I agree. For one thing, his appearance is completely offensive and insulting to women. For another, someone with serious mental health issues should not be teaching children. See also this guy:

He said he hoped to show his pupils that they should accept people who are different from the norm. “Maybe when they are adults they will be less racist and less homophobic and more open-minded,” he said.

Tattoos might be more widely accepted than they used to be, but I don't want anyone who tattoos their eyeballs to be in charge of my children.

Being 'open minded' is presented in our culture as a positive thing, but we need to be able to say, no, there are limits.

We should not be open minded to behaviour that has the potential to harm others. Kinks/fetishes may be fine to express behind closed doors, with appropriate consent, but they should not be paraded in the workplace.

Extreme body modification is this person's right, but they need to accept that this will rule them out for jobs where their appearance will distract from their ability to do the job or impact the well being of those they are looking after.

It's all just common sense really, but that seems to be in short supply these days.

It apparently is not a fetish according to some people:

When a male person celebrates receiving an invitation for a cervical smear that they will never need and so those resources are wasted, apparently there is no harm at all to female people to being ‘kind’ to those male people.

How many resources need to be expended, that should be focused on female people, to make a group of male people happy?

But, yes women and girls should be kind!

Insanity!

Speaking as a real woman, I and no woman I've ever known has had that sort of reaction to receiving an invitation for cervical screening. Because, you know, it's not a 'bit of fun' for us, it's invasive and unpleasant, and for some women it's painful but we keep the appointment because it just might save our life.

But yeah, let these men have their fun and pretend that they need such procedures if it makes them happy.

Women will, of course, be more than happy to wait for their invitations while these men are being indulged because, as were told, women must be kind.

While I completely agree that the biggest problem here is that it uses resources meant for women, I don't even think that it is very kind to tell these people that they need cervical smears rather prostate checks - the latter may not feel affirming to them but it would actually potentially save their life, but I bet they're very unlikely to go for one and telling them they actually do have a female body and need a gynaecologist is hardly likely to improve those odds.

Absolutely. No one is doing them any favours by encouraging the delusion that they can change their sex and become women.
