Just wanted to say that😀

Great post Hipster, that's it exactly, there is no way to weed out the perverts. It seems ludicrous to me that we have the whole #me too campaign, the grid girls, Weinstein etc when at the same time we're being told we must accept something which makes it a million times easier for men to abuse, intimidate, humiliate and dominate women! 'It's all so depressing' about sums it up, I need one of those tshirts too PERF

I've peaked so much over the last few months that I now refuse to refer to myself as a transwoman. I can't reconcile being complicit with what is happening right now.

I still slip up sometimes but I'm now just going to be writing 'transexual' on any forms etc.

It has the added bonus of seeming to really piss off trendy 'transgenders who don't actually want the mental disorders, self hatred medical process or any of the actual hassle of being a transsexual.

Just the sexual thrills for being thought of as a woman and a way to shit all over them apparently.

You must be raging about all this Pidgeon, I'm sorry it's so shit for you too

PidgeonPodge, thank you for your perspective on this.

Yes, quite. Nothing but absolute sympathy and solidarity from me, Pidgeon.

Can only echo the above posters pidgeon.
Much love to you.

I would have no issue with sharing a space with a true transsexual, like you, Pidgeon. I have a lot of respect for people who have went ‘the whole way’, and more trust for them, than the creeps that are using trans as a way to access women’s space. It must be such a distressing time for you. 🌹

Pidgeon

hipster I think you are right. 3rd spaces all the way then.

morningrunner I didn't disagree at all with your point, or think I had any right to tell you how to feel about it. My post was motivated by my sense that we have got a lot of people to convince and that what works best in changing minds is being painfully low-key and reasonable - which we can afford to be because our arguments are so strong.

Thankyou

Though I am very aware that currently it would be very difficult for any one to tell the difference between me and 'them', and I wouldn't want to cause distress to anyone so I stick to unisex changing areas etc.

Luckily (probably not the right word) I am disabled and visibly so, so there is no toilet dilemma for me.

I am definitely behind the idea for a third space though, and I think all transsexuals would be fine in there, as I seriously doubt you'd catch these AGP's etc. in there. Ironically they seem desperate not to be seen as trans except for when it suits them (spouting off about their rights to run roughshod over women).

I sincerely hope I've peaktransed quite a few of my own friends and family (some of them were initially appalled at my first reaction to this 'nu-trans' wave.

I have known a lot of trans-indentified people, probably more than the average person, and I can say without hesitation that only one of them was a stable pleasant human being (and just so happened to be a FtM, make of that what you will.)

The MTFs I've met have run the gamut from stalking, masturbating in front of unwilling women, screaming abuse when someone tried to have a meeting about them breaking house rules, trying to get people fired for disagreeing with them, having mental breakdowns over men crossdressing for a laugh and threatening to rape me with a machete.

So on average, 90% of the trans people I have had dealings with (and I'm not talking arguments, these were people I interacted with socially) have been abusive in some way.

Thank you for your post pidgeon. I am sorry they are riding roughshod over you too.

Sometime in the eighties I hit peak tolerance for male dominance displays, so when The state transferred a male into the female prison to protect him from male violence I learned that there are no depths to which they will not sink nor no peaks I will not reach if I listen to men.
