This should bring a few more to peak trans

There are no words. What a plonker.

Oh dear. He is definitely going to be reprimanded by transgender head office for that one.

Absolute rookie error.

Never mention gender stereotypes.

Just keep saying a woman is whoever says they are one.

Strewth, he's going to be get rapped on the knuckles. "We've been through this! We stopped talking about stereotypes in 2015. Didn't you get the memo?"

I spent this afternoon making Lego with my DD. As it is a toy we didn't need our vaginas to put it together, I don't think a penis would have been much help either, however she (xe?) is in Batman PJs and my dressing gown is blue so we are clearly both men. I can now self ID out of my heavy periods, although I'll probably continue to chestfeed.

She. She’s a woman. As in adult female.

Same here. DH said he'd do dinner.

Of course I went into a mad panic in case he forgot to stir the gravy with his knob and became an instant woman.

She. She’s a woman. As in adult female.

Oh!

I made that mistake too, Datun! Not that it matters. It's an idiotic statement, no matter who said it.

8th rule of misogyny: Men are whatever men say they are and women are whatever men say they are.

I do not own any heels so I am guessing that means I am a hypothetical.

@thebewilderness or a lowpothetical.... no heels.. gettit?

.... I will get my coat then..... my mans coat ...

She. She’s a woman. As in adult female.

To be fair we can't see if she's wearing a dress and heels, so it's an easy mistake to make

Also.. I just can't get he hang of bold/italic on mobile app.*

YEs Gasp0de and Datun I also thought that the idiotic tweeter was a man or MtF trans. For a woman to say it shows she’s really drunk the koolaid.

@nauticant

I'm just totally confused gender fluid. Some days I'm a man (jeans, trainers, no makeup, main earner, beer) and some days I'm a woman (lipstick, dresses, prosecco, ironing, bleeding). Sometimes I'll even change my gender during the day - I'll start the day as a man and end up as a lady by the evening. Or vice versa. It's quite hard to keep up with myself and all my various genders, to be honest.

Oddly though, the man who followed me home and attacked me as I tried to get my keys out of my bag knew what gender I was. And the man who followed me into the women's loos in a club and threw me up against a wall knew too. And the one who grabbed me between the legs as I walked past him, in a public place, in broad daylight, he knew too.

And the midwives who delivered my son, they knew. And the Dr who saved me when an ectopic pregnancy ruptured, they knew. And the nurse who gave me my abortion pills, she knew. And the Dr who did my ERPC knew. And the one who refused me a sterilisation until I begged and cried, they knew.

Funny that, innit?

My husband is a bit mystified about how he is now gay. I pointed out that his rugby playing, pint drinking, 6 foot, short haired wife who works in a male dominated industry is now, by the modern definition, a man, so he needs to get with the programme!

He countered with the assertion that in fact we are still a heterosexual couple as he likes pink, nice candles, lying in bubble bath, a good weep and cooking. He has retreated in to the kitchen to make a fish pie to prove the point. I'm on the sofa with a beer

DS used to breastfeed his beloved trains. Not sure what that makes him. His status as a well-adjusted feminist male must be an illusion.

Trainsgender?

I says to DH, I says to him ''husband, I've just found out that I'm a man'' and he says ''oh, why do you figure that?'', I show him the tweet, he laughs. I say ''how does it feel being gay'', he says ''I'm not. '' I say ''you are, if I'm a man that means you're gay'', he says ''I don't recognise myself as being gay'', I then accused him of being a transphobe and he walked off laughing.

He's now asked me to go in to the kitchen and help him with something but I'm settled now with my beer and laptop (chinks bottles with sophocles) so I've pretended not to hear.

So the tweeter is female? Tongue was firmly in her cheek then, I hope. Surely she can't be serious??

Ds is three. His speech is pretty good but his grasp of abstract concepts has a long way to go. He's a good boy, and so we often say "good boy" to him when he's being helpful. After reading several feminist chat threads this morning, and feeling impotently incensed by the absolute nonsense that is the TRAs rhetoric, I passed DS a bowl of cereal and was rewarded by being called a "good boy". I instantly and militantly declared that he is a boy because he has a penis, and I am a girl because I have a vulva. I then spent several minutes sniggering at having reached "Peak MN".

The tweeter also posted this:

So she recommends all ‘girls’ download a period tracking app.
But I’m wearing cords and a jumper. Why would I need to track periods? I’m not a girl.

Oh lucky you Simon! You don't have to worry about all of that messy stuff then. At least if you keep your cords on.

Mystifying: what are 'state switches'? Why does she need to track them?

on a daily basis too. Life saving apparently.

Oh no, I'm confused. I'm wearing tracksuit bottoms and DP's t shirt. Tomorrow will be the same, but on Monday I'll wear a skirt and make-up but (crucially) no heels. Do I need this app or not??
