Last night I lost my FWB

How is this relevant you may ask?
Somehow we got onto the topic of trans issues.
For context he is Canadian and I am Australian and we are in Australia.

He got on a bandwagon about trans issues I said while I accept everyone's right to identify how they want to the core fact is sex and gender are 2 seperate entities and that you cannot change sex no matter what you Do.
Well. This led to a 90 minute argument, me stating my case many ways and giving multiple examples, him calling me racist?and that Canada is so much further ahead and we are backwards in the west.
Any time I bought up sport issues, toilets, autistic females etc he shut me down and said I was fear mongering.

Right at the end when I asked what was needed to make a baby and can a biological male have a child he was like "well obviously not" and then again got on a high horse about transrights.

The worst part was he lives and hour away, had drunk so had to stay. Needless to say I need a new fwb.

I actually recorded the argument (and told him) and listening back today my blood is boiling.

Ugh i couldnt fancy someone after that. What a twat

FuriousAndFrustrated · 28/11/2021 14:22

Whether he'd drunk or not I'm not sure I could have stood having such a gigantic arsehole in the house a second longer!

HerRoyalHappiness · 28/11/2021 14:22

Ugh be glad you're rid of him. I couldn't be around someone like that.

FreeBritnee · 28/11/2021 14:25

Women’s rights are not his to give away. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. I bet the thought of him having touched you now makes you cringe a bit 🥴

overthethamesfromyou · 28/11/2021 14:27

Like to see his face when he picks his next FWB and they've got a big hairy cock 😀😀

FreeBritnee · 28/11/2021 14:28

AlsoI I’d be intrigued as to whether he literally thought self identified males were females and if so whether he would be happy to date a transwoman. Usually at that point they start to stutter.

gamerchick · 28/11/2021 14:30

So he spent 90 minutes saying he likes lady penis basically? I look at men who bang on and just think they should come out and be proud instead of hiding it.

Yeah You probably need a new fwb.

CorrBlimeyGG · 28/11/2021 14:30

Are you an autistic female? How dare you claim to speak for us?

HerRoyalHappiness · 28/11/2021 14:35

CorrBlimeyGG

  1. Where did OP claim she was speaking for us?

2. As an autistic woman, what's happening to autistic girls is extremely concerning and the more people speak up the better.
whinetime89 · 28/11/2021 14:51

Damn I didn't bring up that would he be happy to sleep with someone who identifies as a woman.

@CorrBlimeyGG I have am 11yo autistic daughter and the population of autistic females who are coming out as trans is a huge subgroup- especially once they have been exposed to online activities.

I said to him "imagine you have a daughter, she is good at sport she is 3rd best in the nation and man who is an average sports person decides to identify as a woman and takes the spot your daughter has trained her whole life for" he didn't have an answer, called me feat mongering, I bought up the weightlifting in sport. It was so heated I was actually so proud of myself as usually become a blubbering mess in confrontation.
I was like sex and gender are different. Gender is a social construct we have created as humans. There is no gender in the animal kingdom only sex. He was like someone takes hormones and has a surgery doesn't make them change sex. I was then like imagine you die and someone finds your bones. They do testing on them and the DNA they find will identify if you are male in female. Not what gender you liked to identify with.

He then bougt up intersex and I was like we both know that it is not related to this topic.

He apologised today and again he respects me for standing my ground blah blah but a new fwb is needed. Which is a shame as prior to this I was so attracted to his intellect and personality

He said "if you have surgery and take hormones you can change sex"

I’d be super empathetic now.

‘I’m sorry Bob, I’d didn’t realise. It totally makes sense that you need to believe women can have a penis now I understand you’re struggling with internalised homophobia. But it’s ok that you’re bi or gay or whatever’.

However he protests you can nod knowingly, and say you’re ready to be there for him when he’s ready to come out.

Now that did make me laugh!

😂😂😂

I still need someone to explain to me in terms I understand how recognising the difference between men and women makes one racist?
oklets · 28/11/2021 20:50

I mean some of his arguments definitely sound ill thought out and flawed, but so do yours. He's not wrong about the fear mongering. The transphobic comments on here from others are pretty disgusting and ignorant though 🙄.

Branleuse · 28/11/2021 21:40

Where is she claiming to speak for us??
HermioneWeasley · 28/11/2021 21:44

He sounds like a sexist bell end which is very unsexy.

Tell him to go and suck some lady dique since TWAW

Which of the OP's arguments are "ill thought out and flawed" do you think?
KimikosNightmare · 28/11/2021 22:46

I actually recorded the argument (and told him)

I think at that point if I were him, I would have left. Whether or not he is in the wrong that's a strange thing to do. I wouldn't be happy with a friend, with or without "benefits" recording our conversation.

Darkpheonix · 28/11/2021 22:52

@whinetime89

He said "if you have surgery and take hormones you can change sex"

Ffs even my 17 year old dd whose partner is a transboy fully acknowledges you can not change sex. As does her partner.
whinetime89 · 28/11/2021 23:57

@KimikosNightmare I did this from my own insecurity. When I would argue with my ex He would say I said things I didn't or say he said things I didn't and I would literally question my sanity. I didn't want this guy to basically put words in my mouth
We were a bit drunk and in hind sight I shouldn't have done it.

whinetime89 · 28/11/2021 23:59

@oklets every single thing I said are things that have happened more than once in society and are increasingly happening.

My point was be who you want to be, identify how you want however you CANNOT change sex. Gender is a society construct we have created

Well, if the ex FWB is fully on board with the whole TWAW thing, maybe he could be very happy with that arrangement... the guy in this vid seems fine with that arrangement. Grin Link attached to video by Dominic Frisby:



Seriously though, OP, I couldn't spend time with a bloke who was so deluded, what a turn off.
CheeseMmmm · 29/11/2021 01:41

Deffo asking about sex partners would have been good esp given you meet up for sex!

What an aresehole.

Rangoon · 29/11/2021 02:46

I suppose the idea that two people could agree to disagree on an issue wasn't an option. You do realise that having this sort of stand up slanging match does not convince anybody and that logic does not necessarily convince people that their view is right or wrong. I happen to disagree with you but I don't feel compelled to try to change your mind and doubt that I could do so. It doesn't mean either of us are bad people.
