Good point well made Trailed.
I wish I'd thought more before posting.

@positivelyPerf

I've been told lots of things about people's opinion of being trans and what I shouldn't be doing and what they think of people like me- and I've kept quiet because I don't want to make a fuss and want to stay below any radar.

So you have evidence that I'm going to be raped by a trans person in the future? Not ACTUAL trans people though. The undefined shadowy trans people. You have research and evidence to prove this?

Of course. 98% of sexually violent crime is committed by men.

I'm afraid I can't tell you the specific men, unless they have been convicted.

But one in five women will suffer from sexual violence. Overwhelming committed by men, however they identify.

Of the 120 transwomen in prison, nearly half are there for sex offences.

Men are a threat to women.

I can't imagine you are trying to minimise male violence, but possibly think that identifying as a different sex negates it?

It doesn't.

How does this tweet lead to this imagined catastrophe? What specifically is going to happen as a direct result of this tweet?

That's a fine old straw man you've erected there Shall I pop Edward Woodward in it and we can burn it in a field?

I actually quite like Jack. But this whole hand wringing 'am I/aren't I a man' shtick along with her propensity to give it out on Twitter for a bit and then immediately start with the 'you can all talk about how hateful I am now' thing is a bit juvenile tbh.

Has she had an actual sex change if not then she is not a man?

That's just it,isn't it - that's what it's all about. Just trying to catch up on it all myself. Just saying if you haven't had a sex change, you're not a man - "bigot, bigot!" Hmm
You apparently, from what I can gather, don't need to have any sort of sex change as such. You can "self ID".
If you're a woman, you're a woman. Even if that means you have the full tackle still.
Same with females but the other way - if lady says she's a man, she is a man. Regardless of being a biological woman inside.
There's even a word for biological women - cis. To differentiate, presumably, that you're a biological women.
Questioning this, actually saying "hang on a minute, biology is a thing...." nope. Not liked.Hence the whole uproar at the minute trying to get Self ID recognised.
(Hope I've got all that right... it's a head fuck! )

VladmirsPoutine · 21/03/2018 20:27

@Trailedanderror I see what you're saying. I thought you meant it as a shame on MN (anti-trans feminism board). I for one wish more high-profile women made a point of pointing out the obvious. I don't think anyone has denigrated Jack other than saying she is in need of a lot of serious intensive help. She's on the cusp of a break-down by the look of things.

CertainHalfDesertedStreets · 21/03/2018 20:27

Yeah, it's so much more refreshing when someone is outwardly completely hideous, like you. You don't have to worry about someone's motives when they just come out with a heap of hateful crap from the off.

Irony. It's like silvery and goldy, only made out of iron...

Yes dear, whatever you say dear. Meh! I’ve been called worse.

Poor Jack just inadvertently pointed out exactly what the Harry Potter series and 'gender identity' ideology have in common: They are both fiction. Pure fantasy.

Why the sea lion references? I presume that's a reference to something?

Cady - a sea lion is someone who comes into an internet discussion asking questions they don't actually want an answer to. Their whole purpose is to waste everyone's time.

Ah right, thanks. I did think they were trying to derail the thread and by asking questions they really didn't want answering too.
Best off ignored and posted around then Smile

You are all vile and should be ashamed of yourselves. Disgusting bigots.

CertainHalfDesertedStreets · 21/03/2018 22:11

I thought you just wanted to understand?

Were you, Shock, not really confused about any of this then?

I am Shock. Deeply Shock

Mate, you need a new word. Bigot is just tired now. We've gone from TERF to transphobe to anti-trans. The least you could do is keep us on our toes vis a vis bigot.

Just looked at her Twitter. WTF is she playing at begging people for money with her Paypal link?
