Xenophobia, homophonic, transphobia

[spstchmu]

Are you gonna do anything about it? Like, i know the line is that shoving the madness in the feminism board means it's not transphobia. And I know it's been done to death but I'm sick of it. It's not acceptable. Xenophobia, racism and homophobia also increasing.
And no. I won't leave. This is the biggest forum of its kind and it needs to represent and respect us all. And care that it's not.

One of the horticulture conferences i nearly attended was running a 'queer botany for seed savers' workshop. I stopped paying my subs, didnt buy a ticket and left them completely. What utter nonsense.

DBS just means you haven't been caught.

Quite, but not the same at all. Less than 1% of people convicted of sexual violence is female. Women are also far more likely to be able to fight another woman than they are a man!

Perhaps because transwomen are now not allowed in female prisons so they won't come across them.

Most sports are now on board with the wild and radical idea that men aren't women.

Girl guides and the WI have sort of reluctantly agreed to remove males (but they are still trying to work out a way to not have to).

The law has been clarified and if the men in question would agree to uphold it we could all move on happy, for men to wear whatever they want (within the bounds of decency and appropriateness), use whatever name they like and have whatever hobbies and interests they like and we could shift our energy to help women in other ways.

No, a certain section of people can bypass linking their names to their crimes...take a guess which group of people gets to not put their old names on a DBS application so the employers do not know their old names...and relies on the ex criminal phoning up a hitline to inform them that they are indeed criminals...go on have a guess.

At least it tracks the people who have been caught. Or shall we not bother with any background checks?

Men are still housed in female prisons across the western world apart from Scotland and thats just since last week.

No it doesnt.

You're a cleaner as you've said, with various clients and don't work in a prison how would you know what female prisoners have raised. You don't.

The young people I meet give me hope. The majority are utterly scornful with regards to gender ideology. Like most people they have no wish for trans identified people to come to harm- they wish them happy lives free of abuse and with the same access to housing, jobs, education, general healthcare etc as everyone else- but they don't believe that sex is replaced by a gender identity or that it is an act of bigotry to be a lesbian who isn't into penises.

Can I ask you something? Were you ever in Greenock? I had a woman on twitter who was a mutual and she told me that, like you, she'd been in prison and the last thing she worried about was trans women. I loved that woman. She was really funny and kind and a great person. The only women's prison she hadn't been in was Greenock. She turned her life around and was a bit like you in that she never had a bad word to say about trans women in Scottish prisons.

But I think she's left twitter and I miss her tbh.

Whatever individual women think, male prisoners should not be sent to the female estate.

True, I should have said in England and now finally in Scotland. But there is obviously still a long way to go outside of terf island.

@Differentforgirls - do you think a violent male rapist should be locked up with a vulnerable woman? Yes or no.

England still put men in female prisons. Same with NI. There are no female prisons in Wales.

I could report that as a personal attack but I prefer to let it stand. Name calling is usually the last resort of someone with nothing useful to say.

I thought the 2023 changes were for all transwomen - my error I see there is a surgery loop hole. No idea how I had managed to miss that.

Feel free to post about that in FWR. There are 2 sections

Oh pick me i know that: n+1

Nope, I don’t trust anyone like that, and that’s clearly not what I said.

Thank god tbh.

Yup.

And that was an absolutely correct decision by your husband. I'm sure he's absolutely lovely and honest and no risk to children at all (just like my husband who did the majority of childcare of our daughter while I worked) but he was very sensible not to put himself in a position where his actions could be misconstrued.
And if you were encouraging him to do so, you were wrong.

A bit like good men staying out of single sex spaces so the problematic ones who want to override womems and childrens boundaries stand out.

Yes it does. But it also gives a false sense of security. Like safe guarding leads raping and murdering children they were allowed to adopt.
