I know it's from the Daily Mail, but I can't find anyone else reporting on it. I've never seen a woman tell a man to "take it outside" or aggressively kick a display down because they've accidentally been called "sir"... (hope the link works).

Agreed, Shots.

It was a shakedown.

Which we are beginning to see a lot of from certain people who have real reason to hide their pasts. And their presents.

And where the US leads we must follow. 2019 will see more instances of exactly the same scenario playing out at your local branch of PoundStretcher.

What a time to be alive.

Awful Angry

EmpressAdultHumanFemale · 28/12/2018 21:53

Chewy, at the last two FiLiAs I've been to there have been young lesbians practically in tears as they talk about the shit they get from the 'queer' community for not liking dick. Angry

That's one of the main reasons I'm so involved in this stuff. Lesbophobic rape culture disguised as wokeness.

So the transwoman wants to be considered a female when it's to their advantage, but reserves the right to resort to typical male behaviour when it suits

this typical male behaviour if exhibited by a woman sized human would be awful enough but exhibited by a man sized human it is very very frightening and intimidating

this is a big bloke he could do a lot of damage, a large angry man is very threatening and intimidating to most people

I was recently called a young man. As a middle aged aunty I wasn't sure whether to be offended or delighted. Grin

ChewyLouie · 28/12/2018 22:06

Empress, that young women are unable to freely express their sexuality in 2018 is a very sad state of affairs. Not sure what I can do to help, ideas welcome.
It really does feel like we are in the midst of the male backlash against feminism.

EmpressAdultHumanFemale · 28/12/2018 22:06

And I think the 'no true transwoman' argument simply doesn't work. The official line is that anyone is trans if they say they are.

Wordthe · 28/12/2018 22:08

It is a backlash but it is also a mass exercise in shooting yourself in the foot
just keep hanging out the rope and these people are hanging themselves

EmpressAdultHumanFemale · 28/12/2018 22:12

Chewy, the reason we've got this far is because women like us are making a racket & refusing to shut up!

Keep posting, keep talking about it, keep sending emails... it all makes a difference.

Titania McGrath on Twitter:

"Utterly appalled at the continual misgendering of this beautiful and gracious woman.

They have completely denied her existence by talking to her in this way".

I frequently get misidentified on the phone -I just have one of those types of voices. When I hear - "Is that Mr V?" I reply "It's Mrs V". They apologise and we continue with the conversation. I've never felt the need to scream and shout or smash the place up.

This man is a thug and the previous post about it all being about dominance is spot on.

Cwenthryth · 28/12/2018 22:24

Does anyone know if GameStop have commented at all?

I hope that shop worker knows how much support they have, having to have faced that, and that they did nothing wrong.

ChewyLouie · 28/12/2018 22:31

Thanks for the link Empress, good so far but everytime I read the trans lines my inner voice switches to the Daleks 😂

Blockyiursekf · 28/12/2018 22:35

I have no problem kicking off if DH serves me red wine instead of Rosè because I'm a woman and should only have pink things. It's literal violence after all.

Ereshkigal · 28/12/2018 22:42

It's hilarious how so many people reply earnestly to Titania McGrath.

EmpressAdultHumanFemale · 28/12/2018 22:42

Chewy GrinGrinGrin
By the way I'd really recommend going to an event if you get the chance. Being in a room full of feminists is seriously exhilarating.

Ereshkigal · 28/12/2018 22:45

Thanks for the link Empress, good so far but everytime I read the trans lines my inner voice switches to the Daleks

I said when it first came out, I have a special inner voice that I hear when I read the words of TRAs so that was how I heard those parts Grin

I'll refrain from describing it, but I'm pretty sure you'd know what I mean!

Popchyk · 28/12/2018 22:53

Whoever was filming that video was skulking between the cuddly toys and the Playstation games. In a cowardly fashion.

Probably a bloke.

CowJumping · 28/12/2018 22:55

Oh, but this never happens.

Must be a figment of our tiny ladybranes ....

Ereshkigal · 28/12/2018 22:56

Cowardly or not, I would buy that person a big drink.

Every time I hear that this never happens my mind goes back to a 90s simpsons episode a guy dresses as a girl to win a golf tournament he then goes on to fall in love with marges lesbian sister and tries to trick her into marrying him (her) patty said "I like girls!" Who would have thought the bloody simpsons would predict something accurately

Rufusthebewilderedreindeer · 28/12/2018 23:02

I dont think its cowardly at all

Im not one to video, but if i was if you think i would do it in full view of the violent person you are in-fucking-sane!!

Popchyk · 28/12/2018 23:07

It was probably Andrew Gilligan the fetishist who filmed that. It was all set up.

He probably got Robert Webb to stick a blonde wig on and act badly in order to harm the transgender cause. Janice Turner was very likely the woman who tried to intervene. The person at the far end of the counter? Well that was deffo Julie Bindel.

These people will stop at nothing.

IdaBWells · 28/12/2018 23:08

Scary. And scary that anyone would prevent us from talking honestly about what everyone in that shop and what everyone watching this video can see.

There is one sex that is on record as being much more violent than the other.
