I think most women would react like this way if misgendered...

... not.

I missed this over Christmas. I feel for the employees and bystanders. Scary to witness and be on the receiving end of.

There's already a couple of threads about this video. Also 'Titania McGrath' is a parody account poking fun at the TRA/self-ID brigade. Although I do admit it's hard to tell the difference sometimes!

I thought Titania was a genuine TRA account for an embarrassingly long time, until I realised! Some/Most of the genuine TRA accounts are just as silly as Titania!

Teenage Dd is often ‘misgendered’ as she’s tall with short hair. She has yet to kick anything over in rage.

(In fact, we suspect that at least one person was trying to be polite/ right on, by assuming a short haired girl must be trans, so would want to be called ‘he’. God I miss the eighties sometimes.)

I know it’s a parody account (it’s brilliant!) but the video is real isn’t it? The person is incandescent with rage at being misgendered.

Sorry I didn’t realise there had already been a thread about it.

I saw this video again today as someone I know shared it on FB - I looked at the comments underneath the original sharer and there were hundreds, all of which were ridiculing the whole thing. No one even came on to shout 'trabsphobia'.

It's so weird, the general public just doesn't buy this at all - I mean, why would they when someone who is clearly a bloke is screaming that they are a woman? But at the same time we have women being doxxed, banned from twitter, being interviewed by the police, all sorts, just for saying the exact same thing?

My next door neighbour but one is a middle aged biological male with a very feminine bob who I often see in dresses. They address me as 'morning mate' but I'm not sure how to address them. I usually just smile and say 'morning'.

I posted it a couple of times, deleted, then the Streisand Effect happened and it was everywhere! So it finally stayed up.

Macho Ma'am 😁

And on one of the threads here I posted the lyrics to "Macho Ma'am", a spoof of the Village People's "Macho Man" inspired by this person's stunning & brave behaviour. Shortly afterwards the thread went "poof!" & disappeared.

charis · 06/01/2019 17:54

Post it again, or even better, tweet to Fionne who has just posted the video 😍

Vegilante · 06/01/2019 18:03

The lyrics will get taken down. But I can DM them to anyone interested.

charis · 06/01/2019 18:05

Message me here if you don't mind, please!

Vegilante · 06/01/2019 18:43

I just tried DMing you here but it wouldn't work. Something odd is going on with either my computer or the mumsnet site because in the last 36 hours I lost the ability to post pics, several of my posts disappeared once I (thought I) posted them, & now the "message poster" box shows up & I can fill it in, but nothing happens when I try to send.

Will try again later.

Njordsgrrrl · 06/01/2019 18:54

Hiya. My app is screwing up too. Thanks anyway 🙂

Vegilante · 07/01/2019 00:53

Still can't send a DM here. Will try tomorrow.

As a bright wit pointed out, if misgendering is [loud voice] literal violence and causes death the human race would have gone extinct because all the endlessly misgendered women would be dead.
