I am a woman.

I was a girl.

I am an adult human female.

Something a man can never be.

I am a woman.

People refer to me has her and she.

Sometimes said with deep contempt and misogyny.

I am a woman.

Something a male will never be.

I have a vagina and uterus.

I menstruate and have given birth.

I am a mother.

Something a male will never be.

I have been insulted, assaulted, belittled, dismissed, held back, intimidated, stereotyped, terrorised, mocked, shamed, humiliated because I am a woman.

Something a male can never be.

I feel insulted, appropriated, offended, anxious, tense, depressed, hurt and under siege, when a male claims to be a woman or anyone says a male can be female.

It is not civil or respectful to treat me this way.

I am a woman.

I am Spartacus.

This is pure craziness! Women can't say they are WOMEN?

Does being on a deleted thread count as one of your 3 strikes?

Still Spartacus.

I am Spartacus. My ovaries and womb prove it. A man can never be a woman.

Why would MN shut down the Feminism board because women post on a thread saying that they are women?

Get over yourself.

Lily Madigan and Hether Peto can self-ID away. Everyone I know in real life knows what their sex is and they can't control any of us in real life.

I am a woman.
I was a girl.
I am a mother.
I have been raped.
I have been coerced into sex because a man wanted it and I didn't.
I do not feel like a woman, I am a woman.
I know that there is a biological difference between men and women.

I am Spartacus.

I am an adult human female and will always be female.
I am a woman, and will always be a woman.

A man can never become a woman or female, and a woman can never become a man or male. Sex cannot be changed. This is science.

I am Spartacus.

I am also Spartacus.

It's important that we are able to assert our Spartacus-hood.

No amount of magical thinking will turn a man with a trans identity into a woman.

Men cannot become women. If you are born male, you will always be male. Humans do not change sex. A penis can never be female genitalia.

The truth is not transphobic. Men cannot become women.

I will die on this hill.

Woman = Adult Human Female

Biology is not bigotry.

I will call a man a man this is not 1984.

I think the first time I posted on MN after months and months of lurking was on the original Spartacus thread. I stand by what I said then and what I'm saying now.

It is not possible for humans to change sex.

Female is not an identity. It is not a feeling in a man's head, no matter how genuine that man may believe those feelings to be. To believe that it is, is the grossest misogyny.

No woman is cis.

I won't use female pronouns to refer to males. Ever.

I won't kneel.

After having my quality of life diminished by endometriosis for decades, during which time I was repeatedly dismissed as neurotic or a malingerer, I could not be more Spartacus.

Women and girls exist. Everyone knows who they are, they know who they are. Sadly we will take longer to remove the sex based oppression they face as men have decided that they want to be us. Sorry women and girls, hopefully normal service will be returned soon.

Another Spartacus.
