And so it begins: Transwoman is running for women's officer of NUS

[PosieReturningParker]

Some of her aims:

Gender neutral sex ed
Women in leadership making room for transwomen (because you know how many women are in leadership roles)
BUS accepting transwomen to compete as women in sports

Oh ffs

I couldn't get past gender neutral sex ed...[head in hands emoticon]

agggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

fight fight fight fight fight fight

This is not good. Someone who has grown up as a man won't be able to get half the issues that a women's officer would need to have personal experience of. A bit of a "Rachel Dolezal" situation to me.

WTF is gender neutral sex ed?

Gender neutral sex ed? Seriously? Gah.

Wait, can we clarify - is the person running for women's officer at a Uni or for the entire NUS?

Why can't men in leadership positions make way for trans women? Why specifically women making way?

It's for the whole NUS oneflewoverthecuckoosnest.

I'm so sorry I've got your name wrong there oneflewoverthedodosnest.

They need to choose someone with more experience of being a woman.

Fucking hell, what a piss take

What does the bit about 'trans women's issues are being sidelined in the trans community' mean

I'd like to come up with a coherent response to this, but all I'm thinking is "Oh for fucks sake"

And "diverse women," that'll be men then.

bigkidsdidit I was wondering that myself

Oh bore off!!
But I might get some popcorn for when the trans thought police rock up

Tea - strongly agree

Fuck! My old Alma Mater! but it always was a bit sanctimonious on issues like these

Jesus, I am so sick of this. 'Women's Officer'! I honestly don't know whether to laugh or cry

What is the sex ed thing about? I don't understand? Sex ed at uni? And how can it be gender neutral? Surely you either have a penis or a vagina and the accompanying hormones and bits that make babies? I just think odfod when I read shit like this.

I feel like women's rights are being eroded by trans rights as if their fight is more important and that their right to become a woman is more important than the rights of women who were born women. Thus alienating half the population because how the fuck can someone who has lived as a man be able to understand a hormonal female mind? Just baffling.

I can't get passed the aim to get women to cede their rare and hard-won positions in leadership to transwomen.

Why can't transwomen win their own positions in leadership at the expense of men rather than women?

Just had a look could it be a wind-up? Sorry and all that but that's just a bloke in a really bad wig and a frock. (Ducks).

Oh ffs, what a travesty.
