...please could I ask exactly what was your lightbulb moment? What did you hear or read that pushed you to our alpine slopes?

Horrid

Good luck with that. I still can't talk about it to mine.

Peak Trans: That moment when you can no longer suspend your disbelief and you fall back to earth.

MyLeftButt · 16/02/2018 19:48

Saw this on twitter and it said everything.

www.whidbeynewstimes.com/news/man-accused-of-voyeurism-in-walmart-bathroom/

On Feb. 10, an employee at Walmart reported that a witness saw a man standing on a toilet in a stall in the women’s room. The employee said she looked into the stall and saw that the man was masturbating while peeking into the occupied stall next to him, according to the police report.

Kelley was allegedly looking at a 14-year-old girl, the police report indicates.

The employee knocked on the door and ordered the man out. She said the man “said something about being in the bathroom because he was ‘gender specific.’” She escorted him out of the bathroom, but he refused to wait for police to arrive and left the store.

I peak transed my husband yesterday by showing him photos of that Scottish chap in prison for murder who won the MissFitness prison competiton, the Kiwi weightlifter chap and the delightful Hannah Mounsey. Then peaked him again by explaining that of course they hadn't had surgery - most TWs haven't and lesbians are meant to suck ladycock now or they are hateful bigots. He thought for a moment and said, "Do you know what all of that is? A load of bollocks".

TheQueenOfWands · 17/02/2018 02:52

Why do only lesbians have to suck ladypeenies and not straight men?

What's the difference? Why aren't straight men being told to sleep with intact transwomen too?

Why are lesbians having their sexual preferences dragged into this?

ijustwannadance · 17/02/2018 10:16

Bacause the trans women who go after lesbians are straight men dressed as women, not gay men or actual lesbians.

ijustwannadance · 17/02/2018 10:17

It's about power and male dominance over real women.

Fekko · 17/02/2018 10:31

But the men who say they are lesbians really confuse me. Not sure how they justify that statement.

iBiscuit · 17/02/2018 11:46

I know, Fekko. Surely they're just heterosexual or bisexual men who like to wear dresses. Which is fine, whatever floats your boat and all that. Confused

Fekko · 17/02/2018 13:39

So who are their partners though? Lesbians? Nope can’t see them attracted.

stitchglitched · 17/02/2018 13:43

Funny how all these 'lesbians' never want to have relations with other transwomen though.

Fekko · 17/02/2018 13:44

Is that ‘cos they are men? Well, d’uh.

gussyfinknottle · 17/02/2018 13:46

When? When, like a pp, realised that most MTF keep their penis. Isn't that called being a transvestite?

ijustwannadance · 17/02/2018 13:47

No, because they are straight men not gay men. So yet another contradiction.

They have a 'lady' penis yet they wouldn't have sex with one belonging to another pretend lesbian.

stitchglitched · 17/02/2018 13:48

I read an explanation from one who said that transwomen who are lesbians find it too 'triggering' to see another transwoman's penis. Presumably actual lesbians should be fine with penis though.

Reminds me of that man on twitter who was enthusiastically telling women that transwomen are women until the suggestion that he date one came up. Nobody really believes this nonsense.

ijustwannadance · 17/02/2018 13:55

Funny how they aren't triggered by their own lady dicks though isn't it.

thebewilderness · 17/02/2018 21:35

Only males can be transwomen so heterosexual males who identify as Lesbians are often called pretendbians.

cheminotte · 18/02/2018 16:54

For me it was Jenni Murray pointing out (in the Times I think) that being a woman was about more than lipstick and dresses and getting told off by the BBC for it.

Thanks to the Good Morning Britain clip posted earlier, I'd heard about IWs Not all men comment but not seen it. Piers Morgan did at least seem to have a healthy amount of scepticism and mentioned TiMs competing in women's sport.

Yambabe · 20/02/2018 13:03

For me, it was of all people Eddie Izzard.

He's of the same generation as me, and in my mind he has always been a heterosexual man who just happened to like wearing make-up and heels (and the occasional dress). The original transvestite then, and I have never had any issue with this, in fact I thought he was pretty brave to be doing it in the 80s and he was responsible for a lot of people relaxing their attitudes towards cross-dressing. A lot of people mistakenly conflated it with homosexuality too, but people were becoming more accepting of that as well, so all good.

The I hear him being interviewed on the radio and rabbiting on about him being "the first properly 'out' trans as he'd been doing it since the 80s" and describing how some days he felt more "womanly" than others and I just thought - fuck right off you idiot. You're jumping on a bandwagon to try and keep some relevance in these modern times, all those years you never wanted to "be" a woman and always used to say that you just wanted to be accepted as a cross-dressing man, which you were! You're not trans, not in my understanding of what trans is anyway.

So I started to read more here, and I started to understand...... then I started to worry......

gussyfinknottle · 20/02/2018 13:10

It scares me that only the Christian Right in America seems to be sounding alarm bells about trans abuse of women's safe spaces.
If you are unhappy about it you are automatically deemed to be a trump supporting stepford wife.

Back when Feminists spoke out against the rape torture and abuse in pornography the lefty d00dz accused us of being prudes and in bed with the right wing. They know we are right, just as they knew it then, so they call us collaborators with their "enemy" to silence us.
Male violence is the greatest human rights crisis the world has ever known.

Is anyone else exhausted since hitting #peak trans? I am obsessed with reading and thinking about it. I keep wondering when the general public (outside my MN & Twitter bubbles) will understand what is going on... I hit peak trans every time I go online!

My peak trans moment today has been reading about the man that killed his boyfriend and then attempted to rape a woman within days of being released. Now he's a trans woman. This violent sex offender & killer was then invited to speak at the House of Lords...sorry for the DF link but what the actual fuck is going on?!!

I thought I had already but it may have been last night when I was engaged by a few on twitter and told among other things

"GRA form doesnt effect (typo) you"
Because I am not trans
And after being really polite was told
"your version of debate is insulting, misgendering and threats of violence"
When i asked they could provide no evidence.

Then they started going on about (actual) women who were placed in mens jails because they were troublesome. They couldnt actually provide evidence but apparently that was semantics as they had said "technically" this had happened.

I also had someone explaining to me that the only change to the GRA was that they no longer needed a process involving doctors and a list of criteria. I tried to explain well THAT is the problem!
