Is anyone else sick of having to talk about penises?

This is not having a go at the topics, I applaud everyone and all their actions, I am just fed up to the back teeth of cocks! Because the TRA are obsessed with them, getting them out, photographing them, calling them female. So every topic always comes back to penis. It's wall to wall phallus. I can't wait for the day when I can stop discussing/thinking about/viewing/listening to penis-related things.

Anyone else?!

In the mean time Wine to you all.

Yup.

I've been at this for a fair while now. Cocks - seen one, seen em all.

So fucking dull.

Sometimes you need a break from the insanity.

FloralBunting · 23/08/2018 22:48

Bloody hell yes. I don't even really like the damn things.

MrsFogi · 23/08/2018 22:50

It's odd that the TRA are obsessed by dicks. Men are fairly interested in their penises too. I wonder if there is any link?

CholloDeNombre · 23/08/2018 22:51

Been accused of being obsessed with 'em. Nah, mate. Nah.

NameChangedAgain18 · 23/08/2018 22:54

Yes. I’m writing to my MP again and having to repeatedly use the word “penis” in an email to someone I’ve only spoken to once seems somewhat surreal.

busyboysmum · 23/08/2018 23:23

Yes.

I am sick of it.

It's nonsense.

Writersblock2 · 24/08/2018 00:02

Yep. They’re not even remotely interesting.

WichBitchHarpyTerfThatsMe · 24/08/2018 00:39

Me too. However having spent yesterday making homemade 'women don't have penises' stickers with my DD she's thinking it's hilarious that this is how we now do arts and crafts during the school hols. We used to make greetings cards for the family, hearts, flowers, cats, puppies, meaningful messages....now we draw penises. She loves it, she gets it, she feels connected to girls and women.

It's not how I thought we'd spend her teenage years but it has given us an opportunity to talk about a lot of difficult stuff and shown her that her voice is just as important as anyone else's. So, positive in unexpected ways.

'lady penis' has ruin penises for life for me. Those are two words I could have gone without hearing together.

Rebecca36 · 24/08/2018 00:47

I've never had to talk about penises. I might start now you've put it in my head - oops I mean the thought, not the penis. Oh there I go, I've started doing it.

Big and little, black and white, cavalier or roundhead, take your pick. There I've talked about them without even saying the word 'penis' - oh blast I've said it.

WichBitchHarpyTerfThatsMe · 24/08/2018 00:54

Ain't no lady in this land who has a penis.Working in child protection for 30+ years I've heard many, many terms for genitals but never a lady penis. Cock, willy, dick, fairy, front bottom, jane, mary, bits, never a lady penis.

Total, utter oxymoron.

Slight diversion but, talking to women recently, a woman with many trans friends secretly went to one of the A Woman's Place meetings. She said she felt like she was letting her trans friends down badly by even attending such a meeting. She came out after the meeting asking herself why her trans friends had let her down so badly. Just saying.

Oldstyle · 24/08/2018 02:26

NameChanged yes me too! The first mention wasn't too problematic but it seems to need saying over and over again since the words 'man/woman' and 'male/female' are no longer precise enough. I'm starting to sound like a cross between Mary Whitehouse and a willy-obsessed pervert. Not sure it will help me make my case.
WichBitch good to hear the WPUK story - thanks for that.

HavingALittleBabyToolshed · 24/08/2018 02:38

Funny how a penis manages to worm its way into every element of society, isn’t it?

Sick to the back teeth of them.

BreakfastAtSquiffanys · 24/08/2018 08:23

Even the Autocorrect on my phone is obsessed.
I mistyped 'depending' as drpening and it was corrected to Dr penis

SnuggyBuggy · 24/08/2018 08:26

It's all a bit batshit

Stickerladiesoftheworldunite · 24/08/2018 08:29

Yes, met my MP for the first time and within one minute I must have said "penis" three times.

I'm sick of the world revolving around men and their dicks. Nothing's changed in that respect; it's just now those men with dicks say they're women and want to eradicate the meaning and rights of woman.

With that in mind, I will continue to shout out '"women don't have penises"

sociopathsunited · 24/08/2018 08:29

I have to agree. If the TRAs have a hidden agenda of stopping heterosexual couples having babies, they're doing a fantastic job. I just want to clap my husband's between two big books when I see it now.....

jasminemaya · 24/08/2018 08:33

The only place I see or hear this penis obsession is on FWR. Just an observation.

Truckingonandon · 24/08/2018 08:34

Yep, although it's not a word that comes up in real life very often, only really on here. Talking about it/discussing it/writing about it all though simply gives it oxygen. It just needs to die a death and disappear as a subject. Women with dicks? Fuxache. Whatever next.

sociopathsunited · 24/08/2018 08:49

We're not allowed to assume woman means a person with xx chromosomes any more though. Think up an alternative way of making the distinction then, if you can. I'd happily use a good, clear and obviously understandable alternative.

Stickerladiesoftheworldunite · 24/08/2018 08:57

Sociopaths - I feel the same!

athingeveryoneneeds · 24/08/2018 09:27

And what do you mean by that? That we are the only ones calling it like it is, or that we have the problem?

Cwenthryth · 24/08/2018 09:37

It’s the insidious infiltration of be-penised people into women’s spaces and issues. I want to be able to discuss and fight for women’s rights and issues that affect women and girls without being constantly asked to pander to penis-bearers. I don’t think it’s fair to accuse gender critical feminists of being ‘obsessed with penises’. We wouldn’t have to be if they weren’t inserting themselves in places without consent (pun intended!)

You clearly haven't seen the mountains of transwomen's tweets, blogs, posts about their 'lady penises', then.

But keep on sticking your head in the sand, because if self-id comes in, you'll be seeing plenty of them in women's spaces.

Alicethroughtheblackmirror · 24/08/2018 10:43

It's odd, isn't it? What with them being so triggering. You'd think all that posing, photographing, demanding people suck them would have them all cured up in sobbing heaps on the floor.
