Transwomen have periods too you know! Just no bleeding

I give you the latest in batshittery:

that you would rather discuss conspiracy theories than the reality of this situation speaks volumes.

Ten years of teaching children, on the internet and in the schools, that transitioning is the only escape from rigidly enforced sex roles is not a conspiracy theory.

I am firmly grounded in the reality based community, thank you very much. I con only conclude that you ignorance is willful.

There is also the fact that there are over 2000 children a year showing up at gender clinics. When in fact, I believe the diagnosis will be for 37 of those children per year.

Isn't the strain on these specific services, a direct result of the nonsense being peddled in schools?

The wonderful gingerbread man, or the Barbie/GI Joe spectrum type lessons?

If there weren't hundreds and hundreds of confused children, with nothing wrong with them, being referred to gender clinics, the strain on resources may not be quite so much.

transitioning is the only escape from rigidly enforced sex roles How is transitioning away from one rigidly enforced sex role to try and fit into the other, any remote form of escape?

I'm confused! Or by transitioning do you mean to challenge rigidly enforced sex roles. In which case it makes perfect sense. But the use of the word "transitioning" is confusing.

These knobbers appropriating our things probably have blue liquid coming out of their winkles

Children are being taught in schools across the country that their choice of boy or girl socially coded toy is an indication of their "gender".

Girls are taught their position in the dominance/submission paradigm is to submit. They are trying to identify out of oppression because they have been taught that submission or transition are the only options.

The majority of males who transition are much older men whereas the females who identify as trans are quite young.

I’m still don’t understand why they claim to be women? If your chromosomes and your sex organs are male or female, then surely that makes you a man or a woman? If you don’t feel like you’re a man, or a woman, then is it not possible that you’re maybe something else instead? I really can’t see how a man can claim to have periods any more than a woman could claim to have a prostate. Sorry for long post and not trying to be goofy, but this is just getting weirder and weirder

Goady, not goofy. Spellchecker obviously on its period!

they have been taught that submission or transition are the only options.
Who is teaching that? Many teachers and parents I know and I've worked with teach children to challenge gender roles. I know many young girls who do this themselves and are doing this right now.

I don't understand. Are you saying that you are helping them identify as trans as some kind of option to "identify" out of oppression? Or that you're against the fact that gender roles are not being challenged enough anymore? And instead of breaking down the gender roles we're selling girls the lie that by becoming men they'll escape oppression.

There are several transgender advocacy organizations that go into schools. They have been doing so for ten years. Some are partially government funded.
Just recently women undertook an effort to correct the erroneous information that transgender advocacy groups had disseminated to councils that removed sex from the list of Equality Act protected characteristics.

Thanks. I'm going to have a really careful read of that because this whole thing is so confusing.

Gendered Intelligence, Mermaids, Schools Out, all provide training.

Just when you think you have heard It all

I'm speechless, how can they get cramping when they have no female reproductive parts,...the cramping comes from the womb contracting to expel the blood?..

By female reproductive parts, I mean the internal ones like womb, ovaries, fallopian tubes , eggs etc

A recent new period symptom for me is achy/heavy labia 😆 Willing to bet transwomen also don’t get that symptom.

What they need is a ladycare knicker magnet

Oh god - that feeling that you've got a kilo of flour hanging off your labia is awful waterlego!

As was inevitable, “Bria” has recast the original blog post as an (equally measured and well-reasoned) cartoon:

lifeofbria.com/tmi/

The title is particularly charming: “FOR PPL WHO CLAIM TO BE SILENCED, T*FS SURE NEVER SHUT THE F*K UP” (asterisks added).

Back to lurking.

Surely most of these idiots are old enough to have gone through the "Menopause" by now?

They're missing a trick. How long before we hear them enjoying having hot flushes, night sweats, insomnia and stress incontinence, due to the damage their completey different pelvis has been through whilst not giving birth.

Men have been saying that about women for 100 years. Turns out it's just another zombie lie that never dies because men never stop telling it.

I don't get how he can get cramps.

What exactly is cramping??

I would have thought that no uterus = no uterine

Abdominal cramps of some sort. Possible constipation or stomach cramps from the oestrogen.
The main side effects associated with taking oestrogen include:

bloating.
breast tenderness or swelling.
swelling in other parts of the body.
nausea.
leg cramps.
headaches.
indigestion.

@SimonBridges There were many cases of all types of glass delusion

Silly to call that a period but WHO CARES
Actually I care that women are being belittled and ridiculed and everything that makes us women is being appropriated and minimised by MEN.

Am currently up at this time of night due to severe cramps waking me up. Can't even stand up straight, feel like I'm going to pass out. Been up an hour so far. This thread is not helping my rage.

Doubt they will appropriate that one. Can't see "trans girls" wanting to be associated with the imaginary menopause, would mean they are aging Nor wanting to damage their man-ginas pushing a watermelon through them
