Sorry for another trans thread and I feel this is a bit of an imposition given I don't post really.

Anyway reading FWR over the past few months has re-radicalised me. I've been reading lots here and wider.

Anyway just now been watching TV and there's been some stuff that's given me the rage but didn't seem to fit in existing threads or it's own thread.

Anyway thing that gave me the rage.
On BBC3 program on transgemder teen's the doctor just said "creating a vagina". Are doctors redefining vagina as pocket rather than a passage? Makes me want to screem.

Also Sarah Ditum being no platformed.

Jeremy Vine is wrong on the facts: getting a GRC is not dependent on having the 'final reassignment surgery'.

Cerseirys wrote - "violence against trans women is almost universally committed by men"

I don't know if your comment is accurate or not, but I'm curious about your thought process behind your comment.

Why did you qualify universal with almost?

Are you sure what you wrote is a fact, or are you just covering yourself because you assume it's probable that at least one woman must have been violent towards a transwoman?

RickRoll · 11/12/2015 15:19

most violence against ANYONE is committed by men

vesuvia · 11/12/2015 15:23

RickRoll, yes I know.

My point is: is ANY violence against transwomen committed by women?

I assume the latter. The world is large, and at some point, somewhere, it is probable that at least one woman was violent towards a transwoman, even if she only slapped them.

Horses have been seen throwing up in front of pharmacies.

I know I've missed the boat a bit, but I'm sure I've read somewhere that the high murder rate stats thrown around for transwomen are because they're based on figures from Brazil where a lot of men transition rather than come out as gay - iirc trans hate crime is high there because it's also gay hate crime.

Either way, it's significantly inflated compared to the UK, and doesn't take other risk factors (race, sex workers etc) into consideration

That Steff person is frightening, but the 'Dad'? Who the fuck lets that man near his grandkids? Grandad likes to play-fuck pretend 6 year olds, let's have a sleepover!

It screams grooming circle to me. Dressing an adult in child's clothes to play, very wolf in sheep's clothing. Getting them 'used' to this man in a non threatening role. I'm not saying Steph is abusing those children, but I'd bet money someone is.

IamTheWhoreofBabylon · 11/12/2015 19:16

It doesn't mention 6 year old steph enjoying anal sex does it
And wasn't he abusive when he was a man? I'm sure I read his wife had to get a non molestation order
The press seem to ignore all trans crime when reporting

howtorebuild · 11/12/2015 19:21

How do you think Schools and courts will handle someone like Steph claiming discrimination if they refuse her a place?

Iam it's in one of the many links about this person I've read today. Will try to find source. Apparently it makes steph feel 'like a woman'.

HermioneWeasley · 11/12/2015 19:29

slugs it's so weird isn't it - you'd think the DM would have been all over Tara and this pervert, but it seems there's a vast conspiracy of silence.

I thought it was a sad rabbit. Just assumed you'd fucked up the face.

HermioneWeasley · 11/12/2015 19:35

Oh, it's a penis - I couldn't tell, thought maybe it was an Eskimo? Thanks for letting us know.

HermioneWeasley · 11/12/2015 19:36

Now you're saying its a type of pasta? I'm confused Confused

TheCarpenter · 11/12/2015 19:37

Thank you Slugs, I knew I'd seen that today but couldn't remember where.

Maybe it's like the Rorschach test, Hermione? I see a rabbit, you see an Eskimo, wonder what that says about us.

Anyways.
