They come up with this.

First post - Why Transwomen Aren't Biologically Male.

The comments are encouraging though, that is, the ones that haven't been deleted. Lots of people questioning and calling this out.

Ha! yes. Sigh.

Maybe we could start using "roomba" for "the group formerly known as women" on the grounds that we'd quite like a word of our own and it's not pink and sparkly enough to get appropriated. [Heavy irony emoticon.]

What should we rename Mumsnet?

Parentsnet?
Caregivernet?
Non-man-net?
Hole-net?

ChocChocPorridge · 15/02/2017 11:13

'Gestational-Surrogate-Net'
'Host-Net' (being topical)

I saw the cultural appropriation thread, these people literally have no self awareness at all, the irony that they spew with their ill informed nonsense.

EveryoneNet is the only possible name

Don't want to literally murder the non-parents

Aliasnumberone · 15/02/2017 12:37

Some people aren't 'one' though and might be triggered because it excludes their split personality otherkin furrie so we'd just have to call it 'net' Confused

BeyondUnderthinking · 15/02/2017 13:38

Oh gosh yes, I didn't think of that. And of course any conjoined twins.

Twunk · 15/02/2017 18:03

I identify as a fish - "net" is triggering

Ideally we will develop terminology for identifying anatomy without connecting it to either current binary biological constructs or gender.

From my old job:

Yes I will call you Miss/Ms your preferred name, I will use female pronouns if I need to discuss you with another member of staff but no I won't change the settings on the machine. Your lungs have to be correlated for sex and race so that I get an accurate result and you get the appropriate treatment.

Excellent work, whoever it was. Grin
