I've reached trans peak

I have always been supportive of people living their lives how they need to. I have a lovely colleague who is a transwoman and DD's best and most brilliant teacher at school was a transman.

I don't think I've changed my opinion that people with actual gender dysmorphia should be helped to transition. I also think that people should be able to wear what they want and look like what they want.

I've scanned a few threads in this section and found myself agreeing more and more with the comments about "self identifying" but the Rose McGowan clip has definitely made me reach peak trans. These people aren't women and they're not even transwomen, they're men in dresses. I have nothing against a man wearing a dress but a man wearing a dress, trying to look like a particular type of stereotypical woman and screaming that he's a woman is just a man screaming at a woman.

They dress like their idea of a woman, they say that they are women but the male privilege to be heard the loudest and the longest belies what they're saying.

Thanks for reading if you have. I just wanted to share my enlightenment without hijacking anyone else's thread (because I'm a woman so I'm polite!) but I've a feeling that the paragraphs I've written in will disappear when I post.

Welcome to the club Grooovy

It's getting more members by the day..

GrooovyLass · 03/02/2018 14:17

Paragraphs have worked, whadaya know.

Also my colleague made an interesting point yesterday that there are no screaming activist transmen anywhere in the news...

Indeed. But they've been socialised as women, and don't want to make it all about them. Unlike the trans lobby.

AssignedPuuurfectAtBirth · 03/02/2018 14:21

Welcome.

Warning, now you are here, you will peak on at least a daily basis.

terryleather · 03/02/2018 14:23

Welcome Groovy!

I peak transed around three years ago and I'm still ShockShockShockon a regular basis so fasten your seatbelt it's going to be a bumpy ride...

CorbynTrouserPress · 03/02/2018 14:23

Welcome! That genie ain't going back in the bottle

terryleather · 03/02/2018 14:25

Yup Corbin once you've peaked there's no going back (much as I quite often wish I could...)

CanIBuffalo · 03/02/2018 14:25

Welcome to the club.

Agerbilatemycardigan · 03/02/2018 14:25

The genie can't even see the bottle any more Corbyn Grin

I'm sick of hearing about it all and seeing this forum being taken over by the subject. Men cannot be women, same as I, a white woman, cannot be black, no matter how much I might want it or try to be.

Justabunchofcunts · 03/02/2018 14:33

Foster I understand, but if we don't shout now we won't be able to stop it becoming the reality.

jeaux90 · 03/02/2018 14:49

Welcome to the club groovy. You should get yourself on twitter, it's a bloodbath on there and you'll be outraged a few times a day.

What made me peak trans was two things. Self ID and the pressure lesbians are under to accept penis. Those two things have tipped me over the edge.

The Rose M videos showed me just how self centred some of these AGP's are, if we don't centre them in feminism we are doing it wrong Confused

AngryAttackKittens · 03/02/2018 14:52

Welcome! The peak trans process is a perfect illustration of the old Steinem quote that the truth will set you free, but first it will piss you off.

Battleax · 03/02/2018 14:54

It is nice to see people tumbling. Welcome to the nasty, transphobic, bigoted old coven Smile

TheGoodEnoughWife · 03/02/2018 14:55

Where can I find this video?

I have reached this point to and am getting more pissed off as I read the threads on here.

Where can I go to speak like minded folk?

Battleax · 03/02/2018 14:57

Come over to twitter.

GoodyHumbygge · 03/02/2018 14:58

Stock up on oxygen tanks - you'll continually keep peaking, which will make Everest look like a piddly insignificant part of the foothills Grin

LangCleg · 03/02/2018 14:58

Welcome to the club, Groovy.

It's amazing, isn't it? If you actually read what gender critical women are saying, it's not transphobic at all. It's pro-women. These are two very different things.

terryleather · 03/02/2018 14:58

TheGood There's plenty of likeminded folk here on MN for you to talk to but sadly it's one of the only places online that dissent from TA dogma is tolerated...

TheGoodEnoughWife · 03/02/2018 15:02

Thank you :-)

NaturalWoman · 03/02/2018 15:09

Welcome, grooovy

Have a 🍺. You'll need it.

NaturalWoman · 03/02/2018 15:10

That's supposed to he a beer.

MNHQ can we have a beer emoticon please? Not all women drink wine and gin! Smile

Fosterdog123 · 03/02/2018 15:11

Just - when I said sick of seeing it on here, not for one minute did I mean bored of or it shouldn't be on here. I meant it more in an exasperated way - sick of still having to have the fight.

GrooovyLass · 03/02/2018 15:13

I can see a beer! And I don't really do twitter - I either get too angry about various issues or I start stalking 80s popstars!
