I am OddBoots

Male bodies cannot become female and female bodies cannot become male. I support anyone wearing what they wish, using whatever name they choose and having whatever interests, hobbies and jobs they wish. I will never support the tearing up of hard won sexual discrimination laws.

Sex is a biological fact.

You cannot change sex.

You can wear what the fuck you like.

I am a long time lurker - you lot are bloody awesome, KOKO!

TheCountessofFitzdotterel · 25/08/2016 21:30

I'm The Countess of Spartacus and you can ban me with everyone else please. Transwomen are fine as they are but they're not women.

Bowednotbroken · 25/08/2016 21:30

I am Bowed and I agree! No-one with a penis (or who has had a penis) is a woman. I am a woman and utterly reject 'cis' as bollocks. Stop eroding women's rights and presence

Snowshimmer · 25/08/2016 21:30

I am Spartacus.
It is not right to tell women that we can't call men who rape, who hate women, who harass women, what they are. Male.
Men can't turn into women. Woman isn't a dress or an identity or the absence of a penis. Nor can women have penises. Nor do lesbians want penises. And children shouldn't be told that they are really the opposite sex for prefering the "wrong" toy.

MrsToddsShortcut · 25/08/2016 21:33

I support the right of the trans community to live as they wish, use the names that they wish and dress as they wish. I will respect that and will stand by their side to fight for their right to live free from oppression or discrimination or violence.

But they do not become the opposite sex. They live as the opposite sex.

Men cannot become biologically female and women cannot become biologically male.

To state otherwise is a lie. I stand for freedom of speech and scientific truth.

I am MrsSpartacus's shortcut.

LadyScience · 25/08/2016 21:33

I am Spartacus.

Women are not men. Men are not women.

I stand by biology.

iisme · 25/08/2016 21:33

I am me.

I believe in treating people with kindness and compassion, and treating them as they wish to be treated as much as possible.

But not where this tramples on the rights of others. Not where this demands that people believe things that are demonstrably untrue. Not where this begins to undo the work towards equality that women have fought so hard for. Not where those insisting on this treatment are also insisting that others are denied it.

It is not possible to change sex. It is not possible to have a female penis. It is homophobic to believe that there are circumstances in which lesbians ought to be amenable to penises. It is misogynistic to believe that being a woman can be defined by some kind of feeling or outlook or attitude.

I will not be silenced.

Cloudspider · 25/08/2016 21:35

I'm no longer a lurker I'M SPARTACUS

horseygeorgie1 · 25/08/2016 21:35

I am Georgie.

I believe in science and biology.

Wishing to be another sex will never, ever make it so.

Being born male means you are male and not matter what you do to yourself you will always be male. If someone 300 years from now took a DNA sample from your skeleton, it would come back as male.

We cannot change who we essentially are.

I am NOT a fucking 'cis' woman. I am a WOMAN.

Allowing children to go down this path is child abuse.

Ban me if you will MNHQ, but it is a sad day when the voices of women, who you claim to give a voice too, are silenced by you. Shame on you.

I am Sparticus.

midcenturymodern · 25/08/2016 21:36

I am Spartacus

Woman is not an identity
I will not move over for men who want to identify into female spaces
A person with a penis who is sexually attracted to women is a straight man, not a lesbian
The transing of children is child abuse, and homophobic to boot
Gender is a social construct
LadyBrain is a myth
GirlDick is something made up by perverts who think they are entitled to blowjobs from lesbians

BlurryFace · 25/08/2016 21:36

I don't post here regularly, but consider myself very gender critical and probably go further than many here.

I am Blurry Face.

XY chromosomes = male = boy/man and I mean that to refer to intersex men, MtTs, the lot.

MtT don't just want to swap notes on where to get handbags from. They want to get in our sex-specific homeless shelters, our toilets, our changing rooms, our prisons. If they get done for rape, THEY WANT TO GET IMPRISONED WITH (OFTEN VULNERABLE) WOMEN! They want their fucking crimes (which they commit at the same rate as other men) to count towards women's crime statistics! They want late transitioning, male socialised MtT CEOs to count towards statistics on women CEOs.

The trans agenda is misogynistic poison.

PlentyOfPubeGardens · 25/08/2016 21:36

PlentyOfSpartacus here,

Transwomen are male
Penis is male
Males do not belong in female only spaces
Lesbians are attracted to women
Women are adult human females
It is not possible to change sex
Gender is a socially constructed heirarchy with women at the bottom
Gender is a set of tools for oppressing women on the basis of our biology
To call women 'cis' implies that we are A-OK with that oppression

I am happy to use a trans person's chosen pronouns when they are not threatening women's safety and hard-won rights. It's a courtesy, extended because I know there are some people for whom becoming trans is the only way of finding some sort of peace with life and they wish no harm to anyone.

Sometimes though, it is necessary to drop that courtesy. Women's rights and safety are threatened by the transactivist agenda and we need accurate language to describe and counter that threat. Where necessary I will refer to transwomen as 'he' and 'his', e.g:

Davina Ayrton is male and raped a child with his penis
Tara Hudson is male and he does not belong in a women's prison
Stephonknee is male and his fetishistic behaviour is dangerous and disturbing
Ada Wells is male and his agenda reeks of male privilege and misogyny, homophobia and antisemitism

None of the above statements are 'accidental slip ups' they are quite deliberate.
None are 'malicious' they are just necessary if we are to talk about these issues at all.

And hell yes I am 'transphobic' because frankly the transactivist agenda is scary as fuck.

I am Eebahgumlass. A man can't become a woman and a woman can't become a man. There is no such thing as a lesbian with a penis.

PovertyPain · 25/08/2016 21:38

Fuck it! Ban me if you want. I joined mumsnet to escape the sad reality that was my life and get support from all the wonderful posters. I stand by every thing that has been said.

Women are having their rights eroded by men, calling themselves women and with the support of their handmaidens.

I will defend anyone's right to dress as they please and feel safe doing so. I will respect their wish to be addressed by whatever pronoun they wish.

But I will defend real women's rights to the death. I am not a cis woman, I am a WOMAN!

A man cannot become a woman.
A woman cannot become a man.

I agree with Oscar and DeathanTaxes.

You cannot shut us down.

I think gender is a construct that damages all of us. I abhor the gender shackles that constrict young people that make them think their bodies are wrong. They aren't.

Boys and men have XY chromosomes and penises.
Girls and women have XX chromosomes and vaginas.

It is impossible for any of us to change our sex and it is hugely damaging to transsexual people to spin the lie that it is.

perfumedlife · 25/08/2016 21:40

Men cannot become women, ever. Women cannot become men, ever.

Anna Lee is a man. And I shall refer to him as he.
Ada Wells is a man. And I shall refer to him as he.
Paris Lees is a man. And I shall refer to him as he.
Alex Drummond is a man. And I shall refer to him as he.
Danielle Muscato is a man. And I shall refer to him as he.
Buck Angel is a woman. And I shall refer to her as she.

I am a woman and will not be referred to as Cis.

I am also 100% in agreement with the OP and fellow posters and if we are banned, so be it. We will still be 100% right. And elsewhere Wink

I'm indebted to the women on this forum from whom I've gained so much knowledge about feminism and transgender issues.
I am Spartacus

whywonthedgehogssharethehedge · 25/08/2016 21:42

Sex is a biological fact. You are born male or female. You can have operations and take hormones to make you more physically similar to the opposite sex but you can never change sex on a biological level.

Gender is fluid. You can identify as a man or a woman or somewhere in between. Everyone has the right to identify the gender they wish to be. Everybody has the right to dress as they like. Everybody has the right to have cosmetic surgery. Everybody has the right to choose if they wish to live as the gender opposite to their biological sex and use those pronouns etc.

Everybody has the right to do these things freely and without incurring hatred or abuse.

The two facts remain mutually exclusive however. A man can never be a woman and a woman can never be a man on a biological level. There is no such thing as a male vagina and a male lesbian anymore than there is a female penis.

Gender differences make no difference but biological differences can and do.

An increase Is being seen in abusive Men who are using hard fought for transgender rights as a cover to harm and abuse women. It is unacceptable for this to happen. It harms not only women but also genuine transsexuals when this is allowed to occur.

The safety of women and transformed alike is at stake and the reputations of genuine trans women are also being harmed. This is a issue that effects us all. We should be allowed free speech on it without being shot down in a storm of censorship because some abusive man pretending to give a shit about women's rights says we are delivering hate speech.
