I know....isn't it?

All those threads getting so upset about ......trans people being able to do what everyone can already do!

So what is it that is exercising so many of the most prolific and vocal posters in this hot topic?

How could you misgender? Is Iris a usual/known poster?

Scissorcisters · 10/03/2017 21:21

Iris referenced me in a post today have you deleted post yet if not please do and let me know when done? In fact can no mumsnet user mention another? If so you are going to be busy.

We think it's possible to disagree while remaining civil and to take issue with the point of view rather than the person.

I, as a woman, feel personally attacked if someone cheerfully states that I should put up with penis in women's spaces.

My statement that she hates women was purely facts. She does hate all women who do not want penises in women's spaces, as she wants to force us to accept penis in our spaces, by law.
She also wants the law to not protect us against the risk of being raped by a bepenised individual in prisons and on mental health wards.

Forcing people to be uncomfortable is not very nice. Surely everyone would agree with that?

Scissorcisters · 10/03/2017 21:26

Ok no one can criticise Iris. We get it. We don't give a fuck. The facts remain the facts. Bigger stronger more violent humans are a risk against smaller weaker less violent humans. That includes men and trans women. Delete that!

I could go to prison Shock

Boy prison Shock

I have used ladies bogs more often Hmm maybe they will do it based on averages

Although i was in a toilet in neros today and that was a willy and woo toilet so now i am just confused

(I had to use the word bogs as i couldnt figure out what the plural of loo was)

Scissorcisters · 10/03/2017 21:32

Please can everyone report Iris65 for her wombphoic views of saying smaller, weaker less violent people need no protection from bigger stronger more violent people. I'm sorry buy they're triggering me.

Scissorcisters · 10/03/2017 21:33

but not by on my phone and fuming!

Seriously ladies (soon to be guys). Ive learned very quickly that on the posts I identify as a trans man my post are not deleted. Please start every post with "I'm trans but" to protect yourself. You are so yesterday anyway with your biology and all. Can't beat them fucking join them!

BiscuitMillionaire · 10/03/2017 21:44

The confusion is because people share memes/facebook crap from the US without realising the law is different here. Certain states in the US are changing their laws - back to how they were because of the Christian fundamentalists. It's a very different argument there.

Scissorcisters · 10/03/2017 21:46

Iris even gave me flowers in the post I came out on as a transman today. Bless their chromosomes what ever they may be. Tomorrow I may be a cis woman again but who the hell knows. I'll see how I'm feeling.

Scissorcisters · 10/03/2017 22:12

I'm a trans man today. In my experience in life only those that can not logically win an argument, delete and erase any one that disagrees with them. Those people are wrong and not very nice. Everyone is entitled to free speech (at the moment). Someone called Irish90 might disagree but im dyslexic too so don't give a fuck. Irish666 is wrong. Burn me at the stake (warning there's a queue).

And yes Iris_inconsequential thanks for my flowers, they're in my mega girly pink vase ;)

Xenophile · 10/03/2017 22:50

Well Iris, as it's patently clear you can't read or think critically, I fear that any further attempts at explanation would be fruitless. A pearls before swine type of situation. So instead of gracing you with my usual level of erudite and well considered reply, I shall go and watch some paint dry. This will be a far more edifying and enlightening experience than any conversation with you might be.

Or, as a wise woman said the other day: you can't educate pork.

TheWorldAccordingToToads · 10/03/2017 23:12

Oh dear. Looks like Iris got all butthurt and reported my post...and it was deleted Grin Shock

TheWorldAccordingToToads · 10/03/2017 23:13

Is Iris friends with someone at MNHQ or something? Confused

averylongtimeago · 10/03/2017 23:20

@Thisisouting Cool argument bro :)

Scissorcisters · 10/03/2017 23:35

I have never silenced anyone ever. I don't shut anyone down. All views are valid. I would like to change some but perhaps I cant. If you can say the same I will listen.
