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.

i don't think slow is a GF, devils advocate maybe, but has actually been really good for the conversation.

PassiveAgressiveQueen · 06/01/2016 17:08

oh my god @DeAtHnOtE all i can say is spitting image

DeAtHnOtE · 06/01/2016 17:09

Clearly I'm doing it wrong.

VertigoNun · 06/01/2016 17:17

The wife must be exhausted physically, socially, financially and emotionally.

whatdoIget · 06/01/2016 17:20

That is clearly a very very disturbed person Shock
I do wonder what sort of experienced he must have had as a child to end up hating his own body to that extent. Presumably some kind of horrible abuse.
And the ethics of whoever's taking his money from him to make him look like that are seriously questionable Hmm

noeffingidea · 06/01/2016 17:25

WTAF??? Are those pictures for real? I think that has to be the worst images of plastic surgery gone wong I've ever seen. Yes, even worse than the cat lady.
I can only assume that person (Fulvia) has some serious mental issues.

noeffingidea · 06/01/2016 17:29

And ironically, after putting their body through all that surgery, Fulvia still looks exactly like a man with basketballs on his chest.

DeAtHnOtE · 06/01/2016 17:30

Fulvia still looks exactly like a man with basketballs on his chest.

And a penis between his legs.

noeffingidea · 06/01/2016 17:33

DeATh I wasn't feeling mentally strong enough to go there. Not surprised though.

FlyByNightSky · 06/01/2016 17:35

Well... if if a blow up doll is your idea of the perfect woman... then maybe?

noeffingidea · 06/01/2016 17:39

I just googled the porn star that Fulvia is basing her surgery on. There is no resemblance whatsoever. Well, apart from the fact they both have 2 eyes, a mouth and a nose.

ObsidianBlackbirdMcNight · 06/01/2016 18:40

Jesus, that's really sad

ShortcutButton · 06/01/2016 19:16

Fulvia looks grotesque to be frank

These autogynophiles always bring to mind the villian in Silence of the Lambs

ShortcutButton · 06/01/2016 19:25

By includ8ng/supporting/defending autogynophiles, TG people harm their cause.

There is no way ever, you can ever accept that as a woman

HermioneWeasley · 06/01/2016 19:28

Freak show.

SlowFJH · 06/01/2016 19:49

How should we deal with and mitigate for this risk (a TW gynaecologist / nurse conducting a gynaecological examination of a woman) right now?

From the informed guess that OneFlew gave earlier, there could be approximately 1,575 TW employed by the NHS at this very moment.

Is there any requirement currently for a HCP who simply claims to be a woman to prove she is a guaranteed woman before being able to perform intimate medical examination on female patient.

Should all female HCPs have to provide evidence of the truth of their biological womaness?

Otherwise how could anyone be absolutely sure?

SlowFJH · 06/01/2016 19:56

There is no way, ever, you can accept that as a woman

Would you be willing to post a picture of yourself and see if others would accept you as woman?

Would you be willing for others to describe you or your daughters as "that"?

GreenTomatoJam · 06/01/2016 20:00

Slow - it would be professional misconduct for an transwoman HCP to treat a woman who only wanted to be treated by women.

There is no need for evidence or proof, as long as we trust our HCPs (and if they're about to shove things into me, I hope that I can).

ShortcutButton · 06/01/2016 20:01

Oh don't be ridiculous slo; I'm not going to pretend that is a normal healthy way to treat your body or present yourself. Its deeply unhealthy. The guy is a sexual deviant. Why defend that? I'm not playing the game and I won't have my dds encouraged to play either

'That' is a gender neutral pronoun. But OK then; him or he. That's no 'she'

GreenTomatoJam · 06/01/2016 20:03

using 'that' is a bit cruel (although before we knew the sex - and probably after, I certainly used 'it' to describe my unborn child).

Accepting as a woman though isn't something that we can gatekeep - it's just something that is, and whilst that poor person has used cosmetic surgery to transform themselves into a terrible parody of womanhood, they are not a woman. No acceptance needed.

HermioneWeasley · 06/01/2016 20:05

shortcut is a woman - "woman" is not a feeling, it is a demonstrable biological reality. It doesn't matter what Mnetters think she looks like, it doesn't alter facts.

And the person in that DM link is a male autogynaephile.

venusinscorpio · 06/01/2016 20:18

It is gaslighting, expecting women to say/believe that person is a woman.

whatdoIget · 06/01/2016 20:20

It's sad isn't it? No one with eyes in their head could really believe that person is female. The plastic surgeon who is operating on him should be ashamed

BeyondCBA · 06/01/2016 20:21

It kind of gives a new respect (?) to stephonknee. At least she owns her transageism, unlike every other autogynephile i have seen (Jenner for eg nicking Jenners daughters clothes, not Jenners wives clothes...)

venusinscorpio · 06/01/2016 20:25

And yes, it is sad, and I think he has been exploited.
