Can I join you? The BBC made me peak!

[Ohyesihavepeaked]

Hi all.
I was on mumsnet years ago before the who data breach geoff thing. I left and vowed never to return. I never looked at the feminism pages but in the last 12 months I began to lurk. I can't remember what it was that brought me here.
Anyway - I am like a lot of people a very accepting person. I didn't ever question the trans narrative because I likened it to the homophobia of the past. But then I read, I thought and then I read some more and I realised that a debate very much needs to be had about the trans issues. I have been provided with so much information and considered reasoning from you lot - especially Datun - what a legend!
I have read all the links, watched the videos, followed twitter feeds and I have been close to peak trans for a while. I resisted rejoining mumsnet because I didn't see the point and was worried about security because of last time. I 100% can not speak publicly about this because of my job. But I can take it no more and I need to vent.

The BBC video someone else mentioned today is what has finally tipped me over the edge. I have just sent off my complaint to the BBC and I have re-registered to tell someone, anyone that OH YES. I HAVE PEAKED!.

I too until recently had stayed out of the debate. I reached peak trans a couple of weeks back. I fear for my daughter’s future.

My dd is blindly accepting of letting anyone be whoever they want to be.

When I talk of the risks to women she just says 'You always bring that up. Let's just agree to disagree'.

It's become ingrained in her culture already and being 21 she doesn't have the wisdom to see beyond tolerance, inclusive and acceptance which is the young people are raised these days.

Ugh. Just watched it - will complain.

I will ask them to do a companion piece entitled "What Defines You As A Man?" and to make sure that the majority of the people interviewed are not male.

And then another piece entitled "What Defines You As A Black Man?" and ensure that the majority of the people talking about it are neither black nor men.

Maresedotes yes! I wish my 18 YO DD would read some of this. She's said she thinks I'm being transphobic because I'm on the same page as the rest of you 'now'

By the sigil of the Toblerone shall ye know us!

Old proper Toblerones or the new ones with all the chocolate missing?

Whichever one you're offering, Hawkeye

Will watch that video if I can take the stress. My DDs think I’m transphobic and obsessed. DH has peaked though, over the refuge nonsense in the paper today.

BBC article about Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s recent fall .. in the final para they can’t even get sex and gender right when it’s spelt out for them in the name of a film!

‘She [RBG] is the subject of both a recent documentary, RBG, and a forthcoming feature film, On the Basis of Sex, in which she is played by actress Felicity Jones. The feature film is about a landmark Supreme Court case in which Ms Ginsburg argued for fathers' rights and against gender discrimination.’

What do the BBC think gender discrimination is??
