I am a trans-women, I was born with the male physical body, but always identified as female, did everything commonly associated with "Female" Anyway, I have been told that I should not be allowed to use the female bathroom.

I was just wondering if you agree with this? My gender on my passport is female, I'm attracted to men, I look nothing like a man, yet people are trying to force me into their bathroom regardless, what is your position on the issue?

I don't agree that men who have started hormone treatment should be able to use the women's toilets. Hormone treatment or not - if a man still has a penis, he is a man.

UnicornsRuleAll · 29/01/2016 20:09

You can feel that way if you wish, I am still gong to use the female's regardless though. I look way more out of place in a men's toilet's than a women's.

Sorry, I meant I haven't went thorough male puberty, since I started my treatments before that. When I said 0 testosterone, that's my way of saying I haven't been though male puberty. So yeah, my mistake again.

Men can be feminist. You don't have to be a woman to be a feminist.
What about trans women who don't pass?

GingerNutRiskIt · 29/01/2016 20:14

If one of my DCs was adamant that he was a girl, and I supported him in that. I would not expect "him" to use the male toilets. If she is a girl, pre-op, I wouldn't want her using the males. So at what age do those of you who think they shouldn't use the ladies, start using the males? Especially if they've used the ladies toilets growing up?

GingerNutRiskIt · 29/01/2016 20:15

And I've seen some women who don't pass for women. Should they use the males if they look male? After all, we can't see what's below their belt.

itsbetterthanabox · 29/01/2016 20:15

Gingernut. Why wouldn't you want your child using the boys?

UnicornsRuleAll · 29/01/2016 20:16

I really have no answers to these questions, I am not the prophet of transgenderism. It's for society as a whole to figure out, I just merely wanted to know what some feminist - minded people thought of it.

AnyFucker · 29/01/2016 20:18

Your posts are full of contradictions and "mistakes"

So I say you are the least well-informed/sorted transwoman I have ever come across, or you are not what you say you are.

hedgehogsdontbite · 29/01/2016 20:18

Are you in the UK?

UnicornsRuleAll · 29/01/2016 20:19

Either or, doesn't effect my life.

CharlieSierra · 29/01/2016 20:19

Oh, so you won't say what you think, but you want other people to tell you what they think?

AnyFucker · 29/01/2016 20:20

if it doesn't affect your life, why are you here asking for our opinions ?

are you writing an article ?

CharlieSierra · 29/01/2016 20:22

AF if they're writing something I hope they get their grammar sorted out.

Clonakiltylil · 29/01/2016 20:22

Unicorn - I have given you the benefit of the doubt and treated you with respect, answering the questions you put, but if you have been deliberately deceptive, then I think that is particularly low.

DianaTrent · 29/01/2016 20:24

Thank fuck for that. Better men than you have tried on here. Smile

TheMouseThatRoared · 29/01/2016 20:24

I wouldn't be happy with you using the female toilets. I don't care what had been chopped off or shoved in. It's about time men learnt to accept transwomen in their toilet.

ObsidianBlackbirdMcNight · 29/01/2016 20:24

If my son told me he was actually a girl I would gently and kindly explain why he wasn't.
I would also expect him to continue using the boys toilets.

Whatdoidohelp · 29/01/2016 20:24

Penis and testicles - use men's room

Post op - ladies room.

I would have no issue with you in the ladies. I probably wouldn't even look twice at you.

Yes, indeed.

hedgehogsdontbite · 29/01/2016 20:29

Sorry but this is bollocks.

The OP isn't who they say they are. They say they had accepting parents who allowed them to have testosterone blockers so have not been through puberty and that they had full surgery 6 years ago. But testosterone blockers were only approve for use in children 2011.

You might not have gone through male puberty OP, but you certainly received your lifetime's dose of male entitlement.

TheXxed · 29/01/2016 20:31

OP why exactly do you want to use a female bathroom? you are not a woman. What do you gain from it.
