Just when you thought Everyday Transactivism could no longer surprise * title edited by MNHQ*

They come up with this.

First post - Why Transwomen Aren't Biologically Male.
www.facebook.com/everydayfeminism/

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

You'd think they would give us a clue as to why it has been deleted.

I've just come to say the same. Why?

I would like to know as well

If it turned into a bunfight fair enough

It was pootling along quite nicely last time i looked

On the deletion warning message Lorna said it was the opening post that was the problem so I screenshotted it. Most of it looks pretty factual to me. Maybe it's the reference to delusive men?

Too many people being converted to "the dark side" maybe?

Well I think we need clarification as to exactly what it was in the post which broke talk guidelines. It all looks factual to me.

I find it very concerning that we don't know why.

Was it the deluded man bit

I agree clarification would be good

Its already a fucking tightrope without someone stood with a pair of scissors and not saying when they are goung to use them

But it was a reasonably long running thread. MNHQ, can you advise why it was deleted?

Agreed mercy

And its a shame the opening post wasnt deleted or amended

I have reported my post so we can ask

People on the transphobia thread said they'd been reporting posts. I'm pretty sure that's where it came from.

Re the transpohbia thread: is it just me, or is it going in a completely different direction than it would have done 6m ago?

But they are deluded. Sex changes are impossible. I can't imagine they ever would be possible. If I tried to present as the opposite sex I would know, however hard I tried, and however many other trans people I hung out with, that I wasn't actually the opposite sex. I'm sure this is why they go so batshit at anything that doesn't uncritically mirror their desired gender. As an identity, it must be as fragile as candyfloss.

While I wouldn't argue with you prawn, I have seen "deluded" deleted before so I'm not surprised.

Mn seem to read it as a value judgement rather than a factual statement?

I guess so long as we're allowed to define women we should put up with it, Beyond.

I'm arguing on this thread too at the moment.

Lorna replied

She said the thread had only been reported today and they felt the tone of the post was inflammatory,

If everyone is uniquely gendered, that's great. Fab.

Then there's nothing to 'trans' against, is there?

Meanwhile women can get on with fighting oppression rooted in female sexual biology.

Here's a list of genders from Tumblr.

I think they're serious.

Abimegender: a gender that is profound, deep, and infinite; meant to resemble when one mirror is reflecting into another mirror creating an infinite paradox

That was enough for me!

I wouldn't be surprised if they were, tumblr is a very odd place. There is some gems on that list. There's one that shares qualities with water. There's also this one "Exgender: the outright refusal to accept or identify in, on, or around the gender spectrum." They have this big list of genders and then have one that doesn't accept gender.
They also have a list that lists all the sexualities. According to that list lesbian includes people who partially identify as women. That is really not how it works.

Empress so how many more toilets/showers/prisons/crisis centres do we have to build to accommodate all these newly emerging genders?

Empress - thanks for that list. It has been a source of much joy

My fav is:

Genderblank: a gender that can only be described as a blank space; when gender is called into question, all that comes to mind is a blank space

Is Genderwanky a credible addition, do you think?

Also, to whom does one apply for addition to the list?
