Trans friendly thread!

[100lbtolose]

Hi MNers!

Just first of all want to say this isn't going to be a goady thread or a place to slag anyone off of be abusive. Everyone can have an opinion and everyone's allowed to think that they like.

2nd, if your anti-trans or don't believe trans people should be alllwed to self ID or that they aren't the gender they say they are etc pls be respectful and don't post here. There are loads of threads about all kinds of discussions about being trans that you can post on and I think it would be fair if you didn't do that here. I Obviously can't prevent anyone but It would be nice for this space to be respected as trans friendly and not taken over for other reasons. If you don't agree just leave and post somewhere else instead of using this thread please!

That now said - I'm all for trans rights and I think trans men are men and transwomen are women. I don't know if many MNers feel the same but if you do say hi! Or if anyone is trans know that you have an ally in me this thread can be for a chat or support or (friendly!) discussion. Or maybe I'm the only one here lol and I can just talk to myself...

Stuff like that can stay up but call a male person a man and you get a suspension

You should have put flashing lights and a neon sign in your warning!

Christ I searched it and lasted 3 posts.

What I don't understand is the obsession with female genitals. There's a selfie of a fully dressed man with hashtags like #clit

WTF?? You want it so desperately that you hate the people who have it, or something like that?

There is a whole wave of 'queer poly kink friendly' trans activists who are sexually preoccupied and entitled and utterly misogynistic.

YY. "Furries" too

Yes @OnTheList, it's absolutely shocking.

Oh dear. My friend had a look and said that some posts were sickening and others just terribly sad. :(

Ugh
I challenge anyone to search that hashtag and argue it's not a fetish

Well, quite. I have seen some people suggesting that "kink" ought to be included under the trans-umbrella.

I looked at #transgirl

Im 4 tweets in.

Holy mother of fuck.

These were at the top! I’ve censored the naked backside in black and the penis in white. (Hope that’s ok in mumsnet rules). For not being ok with this I’m apparently a TERF and want them dead

Haven’t worked out how to report this pornography on Twitter. Surely it needs deleting?

I know someone, who dated a MIT. She said he and his mates liked taking selfies all dressed up as a woman with their dick hanging out.

Maybe I've been cherry-picking the trans-related threads that I've read but I've not seen any that are anti trans rights. Though it may fit your narrative to think so.

I think you're on the wrong board. At the risk of flogging a dead horse, trans rights are only a feminist issue when they impinge on or attempt to repress women's rights & equality - and I realise that statement fundamentally up-ends your belief system and the intention of starting this thread. But you're being goady by sheer dint of being here and demanding a certain type of response.

This man, for instance, is referring to cis scum. He's absolutely not referring to men. And his use of the word cis makes it quite clear he is referring to women who disagree with him. So all women.

Is that a Brit in the picture Datun?

Well... This is me really wishing I hadn't searched #transgirl on twitter!

@PidgeonPodge I think you have given me my new favourite phrase

fishy bastards

Fucking brilliant

Yes, NSFW doesn't even start to cover the photos of in-use butt plugs, dildos and dicks that our "trans sisters" post on Twitter.

Is that stuff even allowed on Twitter? Someone was sticking a coke can up their bum!

They're trying to turn their anuses into vaginas then?

How erm.....

I'll take your word for it. Absolutely not going to look at it.

And yet, natal men, who are happy to be men are also "cis".

I don't see them in the firing line of the transmen who are getting rejected on dating apps.

Just we 'terfs'...

Do twitter have a staff of one? Or completely not care? It's astounding how little gets taken down.

Social media companies give 0 shits about anything until it starts to affect revenue from advertisers.

Surprised the DM have not picked up on those tweets though, it's practically a free gift for them.

EllenRipley - I applaud your statement of good sense.

@Thehairthebod Is that stuff even allowed on Twitter? Someone was sticking a coke can up their bum!

Oh god, I know this is supposed to be a serious thread, but the way that comment (the second part especially) was put/phrased/exclaimed made me proper chuckle, thanks!
