General Trans Discussion Thread

[IBelieveTheEarthIsFlat]

I seem to be hitting #PeakTrans on a daily basis now and thought it would be useful to have another general thread to discuss/post/share

If you haven't seen Magdalen Berns' recent blog post it's really worth a look

He doesn't pull any punches does he! Love that someone called him a transphobe too...

BenLinus someone like that is really walking the walk - dressing however the fuck they want without demanding that women accomodate them. Hats off.

Well here I am at this first meeting and from the very start it just came across as men in dresses feeling sorry for themselves and blaming biological women for everything. Then all of a sudden one Trans women lifted up her skirt to reveal his underwear. I was alarmed that someone would do that in a public place as it’s not the done thing and more importantly why on earth would you want to show off your dirty panties anyway?

Interesting insider view there...

Loved that link !!

I thought it was a very interesting dynamic that some transwomen feel free to sexually assault other transwomen.

Of course this is now women assaulting women. You can take the man out of sexual violence but you can't take the sexual violence out of the man.

Actually that's true ! I saw it more as defending, not participating.

There's a report on the man who attacked him here.

Love that link - this quote (from the second article down) should be printed in big letters and sent to all MTT TRAs

"Surely it is down to us to widen the bandwidth of being male and addressing the issues of masculine men who see us as weak, perverts and queer? These are the questions not being addressed by trans women and I feel they would have better lives for asking those questions and demanding that masculine men stop acting like dicks."

In case any of you haven't seen it, there's a thread on Glamour magazines latest article, where a TW of 1 year tells women how to be feminists...

There is another excellent article on genderapostate.com called Colonizers vs Defectors which puts extremely articulately about why it really does need to be about widening the bandwidth of what it means to be male.

This is an excellent article on transgenderism from a gay man's perspective

IBelieve that is a good article, thanks for the link.

I'm not sure if this has been linked to on other threads...

Remembering that the brain is plastic and this is not some 'born this way' argument...

Paper on brain differences says...

1. There are brain differences between FTMs and everyone else.
2. There are brain differences between gynaeophilic FTMs and other FTMs, in line with Blanchard's claims about types of transsexuals.
3. The brain differences (cortical thinning) greatly change during puberty, as puberty is a period of increased brain plasticity. Thus going through puberty can end dysphoric feelings.

Hi everyone, we've deleted a couple of posts as we didn't feel they were entirely relevant or helpful to the wider debate.

As you were

If I post the same link on a thread of its own, will it get deleted?

This bellend is harassing a restaurant where he was asked to use the men's loos.

Mate, if you want people to believe you think you're a woman, you might try shaving 😂

Hermione I don't know if shaving will help. You are reducing men to their stubble!!

That's a 5 o'clock shadow alright!

He looks like Mr Slave out of South Park

More on the pronoun debate

The trans activist on here is completely batshit - suggesting that we record people's preferred pronouns on our phones. Who the fuck will have time for this shit? And don't fucking get complacent either as they can reserve the right to change the pronoun at any time.

We will need to consult a database before we speak to anyone
