Why aren't the likes of Ada Wells calling straight men cuntscum for not wanting to have sex with MTT?

MyWineTime · 28/08/2016 13:25

I was born female, therefore I am a woman.

I don't care what people wish to identify with, there should only ever be women in women-only places.

Gender indentity belief is the same as any other religion. Humans cannot change sex and telling children they can is child abuse.

I am Spartacus too.
I do not believe there is such a thing as "Lady Brain".

Why aren't the likes of Ada Wells calling straight men cuntscum for not wanting to have sex with MTT? - well I suspect that the straight men who don't want to have sex with a person with a penis (even if the person wears dresses and makeup and prefers to be referred to with female pronouns) is (a) more likely to be happy to admit to being transphobic than a lesbian would be and (b) more likely than a lesbian to express their disinclination for sex with someone who has a penis by beating up or killing the person in question and (c) isn't active in LGBT communities so isn't vulnerable to being repeatedly attacked and criticised for their choice.

What a lot of attention seeking buy my book codswalloping shite. No names mentioned of course.

againstvaw · 28/08/2016 14:49

Soo. As you say, women should not need safe spaces. Since we do, we have a right to insist on having them. For millennia people with penises have been very effective at getting their needs met.

Women would have to be nuts to divert our energy and resources to keeping people with penises safe.

HemlockSolanum · 28/08/2016 15:24

Women would have to be nuts

Is it wrong I laughed at that unintentional pun?

mercuryrev · 28/08/2016 15:39

I am Spartacus

If the word 'woman' has now been extended to include the category 'man', then it no longer has any meaning. We can no longer differentiate: we are all just adult humans.

Thank goodness women don't ever need to differentiate eh? If, for example, there was a lot of specifically male violence against women, then we would need a word which explains the difference between the sexes, but as it is... Oh wait

LGBTEXEC · 28/08/2016 15:43

You're all talking bullshit.

PovertyPain · 28/08/2016 15:46

Oh look, a man has come along to scold us. Hmm

Deeppansexual · 28/08/2016 15:48

There is NO SUCH THING as a lesbian with a penis.

Well reasoned argument there, LGBTEXEC.

ThumbWitchesAbroad · 28/08/2016 15:54

Oops, forgot the Hmm face

MoreCoffeeNow · 28/08/2016 15:55

Here's one for you. thumb

Hmm

He's an EXEC, should we be scared?

Atenco · 28/08/2016 15:56

LGBTEXEC It's the profoundity of your thoughts that convinces me.

Deeppansexual · 28/08/2016 15:57

M2Ts should stay in the men's toilets & the men's prisons, WHERE THERE ARE ALREADY LAWS TO PROTECT THEM FROM MALE VIOLENCE.

They should not be allowed in women's private sex-segregated spaces unless they are fully POST-OPERATIVE and long term committed to living as women and can prove it with an ID card that actually means something.

No penises in women's bathrooms. No penises in women's shelters. No penises in women's prisons.

Penis is male. Only male. Always male.

IBelieveTheEarthIsFlat · 28/08/2016 15:59

LGBTEXEC
Are we? Oh no! Please please come back and tell us what we should be talking about. Is it you and your needs?

MyPeriodFeatures · 28/08/2016 16:02

It's fucking madness. I have been a victim of the actions taken by 'society' to address someone's dysphoria. I live with post traumatic disorder as a result. I have watched the female partners of transman bend themselves entirely out of shape to perpetuate what is a myth. Society and the law tells us we have to do that and until we wake up and step away from the neo-liberal leftism that drives this skewed notion of equality people are going to continue to have to suffer. I am not transphobic, I am 'people being forced to accept lies' phobic'

While my bank insists I declare my status as Mrs or Ms

While regulations state that a Cornish pasty is only allowed to be named as such if it's crimped in the righ place...

Yet..... I have to accept a hererosexual status and am threatened not to disclose my partners gender history.... For 10 years....and society says this isn't harmful. Sorry but the world has gone nuts

Clonakilty · 28/08/2016 16:04

I am a woman (not a cis woman) who has been gang raped by men - with penises. I am a survivor of child abuse over many years and in all I have been raped over 200 times.
I will never accept that I should share public toilets or changing rooms with someone with a penis just because that person is self-certifying as a woman.
It has taken many many years of close medical intervention and therapy for me to function fully within society and I still have PTSD. To force me to accept men as women is tantamount to abusing me again and could put my recovery back years. I am only just steady now. Women do not rape girls and women with their penises. Women do not have them.

I too am Spartacus.

MyPeriodFeatures · 28/08/2016 16:05

Take the TFrom LGB. That's what lots of trans people want. Let's give LGB safe spaces

OscarDeLaYenta · 28/08/2016 16:09

Yes, remove the T from LGB. Sexual orientation is not to do with gender.

TA should stop appropriating feminism AND LGB activism.
