I am ICJump
I am spartacus

Ratley · 25/08/2016 22:01

I am Ratley Spartacus.
XX equals woman
XY equals man
An individual cannot change chromosomes therefore a man cannot become a woman, a woman cannot become a man and non binary is nonsense.
I will refer to those with XX chromosomes as she/her.
I will refer to those with XY chromosomes as he/his.
Or not at all as I wouldn't be deliberately hurtful.

Thank goodness! What hashtags MrsMorton?

Lostmyemailaddress · 25/08/2016 22:02

My name is lost and I was born with a vagina I grew from a girl into a woman not a cis woman which I find highly offensive and inaccurate. I am a mum to 6 children 2 girls and 4 boys including 1 gay son.
I'm adding my name to this list as although I am happy to stand by others choices to dress and live how ever they wish I am against men with penis's who dress as female being in women safe places. I am against lesbians being coerced into having sex with men presenting as females with penis's and everything else everyone here has already said.

redshoeblueshoe · 25/08/2016 22:03

I am Spartacus. I am woman. Cis is offensive. Feel free to ban me

BungoWomble · 25/08/2016 22:03

Haven't rtft here yet, but - to reiterate - there is no such thing as a female penis in the human species.

I am not 'cis'. I will not participate in this newspeak double talk which aims to turf women out of existence. If that makes me a terf, I will accept that label and be proud of it.

hazeyjane · 25/08/2016 22:04

I am Hazeyjane

I have been umming and aaaahing about leaving mumsnet for a variety of reasons. I really don't want to because of the many awesome people here.

However I would like to hold the hands of everyone on this thread and say

Transmen are transmen - not men
Transwomen are transwomen - not women
I am not cis, I am a woman
There is no such thing as a female penis

I am not transphobic, I believe that eroding the facts above by deleting them as transphobic or 'against talk guidelines' is damaging to trans people, people in the lesbian and gay community and women.

If I am banned then so be it.

Mrsmorton · 25/08/2016 22:04

Doesn't have a hashtag AFAICS, was tweeted first by @radfemcollective and I got it as a third order retweet.

ApplesinmyPocket · 25/08/2016 22:04

I'm Apples. And Spartacus.

Transwomen are not women. Sex can't be changed.

Every farmer knows there are male animals and female animals. This isn't decided 'inside the brain'.

Women can't 'identify' their way out of gender pay gaps, or rape by heterosexual men. Baby girls killed for being the wrong sex won't get a reprieve on the grounds that you can't tell if humans are boys or girls just by looking between their legs. In the real world midwives will carry right on with the 'it's a boy!' or 'it's a girl!' moment.

TheHuffAndPuffALot · 25/08/2016 22:07

I am Huffacus and I reject the term cis as derogatory to all xy women.

I will not be cowed by misogynists who are forcing these ridiculous constructs on us women.

OscarDeLaYenta · 25/08/2016 22:07

RadFemCollective have got hold of this?!?!!

Agree.

I am Stretch.
Trans women are male.
Trans men are female.

My ds2(6) wears bracelets and nail polish.
Dd1(14)'s best friend is a gay male who wears makeup better than mine Envy Why is this seen as just a women's 'thing'?
Gender stereotypes hurt us all.

I absolutely reject being called 'cis' anything.

I've been on Mumsnet for over 8 years, I've seen many fights/problems and spats with MNHQ, this is the first time I would be willing to be banned or leave over an issue. Please don't take away our voices.

EmpressKnowsWhereHerTowelIs · 25/08/2016 22:08

@RadFemCollectiv have tweeted it.

Bigoldsupermoon0 · 25/08/2016 22:08

I am BigOldSuperMoon.

Penis is male.
Female is a biological reality, not an identity.
Trans women are men.
I am not 'cis'.
I will not sit down, and I will not shut up.

Why is this thread not showing in Active?

stretch · 25/08/2016 22:15

Oscar, I found this thread from RadFem Collective. Strangely wasn't appearing on active convos and I've been on here all night :/

PlectrumElectrum · 25/08/2016 22:16

I am Spartacus. I worry about my 11 yr old DD's future in a world so blind to the utter madness cloaked in misogyny being pushed by TRA's so determined to erase her hard fought for rights as a girl growing into a young woman. I concur wholeheartedly with the OP and every other gender critical woman standing against this tide of bile & hatred of & towards women & girls.

Down with this sort of thing Grin

LazyBabyIRL · 25/08/2016 22:16

I am LazyBaby and
I am Spartacus.

SianSteans · 25/08/2016 22:16

I'm Siân(Spartacus) and I post under my own name here because I don't say anything I wouldn't want the world to hear about as being from me. And that bloke who thinks women with vaginas (so women then) are cuntscum is yeah a bloke. And a nasty bastard. And they can cry all day about how mean people are to them. I'm so sick of trans activists threatening suicide anytime someone points out what nasty fuckers they're being.

CocoaBum · 25/08/2016 22:17

I can see it on Active threads on the mobile app

JadziaSnax · 25/08/2016 22:18

I'm Jadzia.

Gender is a social construct that I've chosen to ignore for many years. I've lived my life quietly just doing my own thing and not letting others expectations dictate what I can and cannot do.

I have hit peak trans and cannot stay quiet any longer. If a person has a penis and a Y chromosome, that person is male. Being a woman is not a feeling, it is a biological fact. Men cannot become women or vice versa.

I agree completely with Germaine Greer.

I support the right of individuals to make changes to their bodies in order to feel comfortable presenting as the opposite sex and will treat individuals with courtesy and respect and will use preferred pronouns out of politeness.

SecretNutellaFix · 25/08/2016 22:18

I am Nutella.

Sex is determined by genetics, gender is determined by other people deciding what box you should fit in to based on what's between your legs.

I am female. My sex is determined by XX chromosomes. I am a woman, with the potential to get pregnant, give birth, breastfeed.

Being born with a penis does not ever make you a woman. Being born with a vagina will never make you a man.

The trans movement has gained such huge momentum because society, as a whole, does not understand individualism. There are niches into which people are stuffed, determined by their "gender". If everyone was accepted for who they are- whether that be a man who likes wearing make up and skirts or a woman who like having cropped hair and going biking/ fishing/clay pigeon shooting, and every nuance between and beyond, then gender need not exist.
