No words

Extraordinary thread from Twitter, starting here with these two gems.

Not sure if they uploaded.

Creases in the arms?!? WTF? They’re getting increasingly desperate and deranged.

If you have or have ever had a penis you’re a man.

Oh Robin.

Such a hypocrite.

Well that was completely inevitable - of course he wouldn’t consider a transwoman for relationship purposes! Most straight men wouldn’t (because they don’t really consider them women).

Yes, I enjoyed reading that one yesterday.

The pathetic depths to which some of these people will stoop will never cease to amaze me.

Yes, Robin is good value.

Oh my goodness. I have no creases in my arms - are my three children going to be OK as I’ve never been able to cradle them properly? Am I actually a man?

Oh my word.
Just when you think you've been twanged between the eyes with every bit of crapulous elastic logic they can throw out, you get mermaid tails and arm creases...

Creases in arms where exactly?

Creases in the arms to cradle babies? Are they talking about elbows?

Why would evolution provide transwomen with creases in their arms for cradling children but not a womb to gestate a baby?

Why would evolution provide transwomen with creases in their arms for cradling children but not a womb to gestate a baby?

Transphobia.

How does one know if one has child bearing arms? Perhaps that is where my births all went wrong, the creases (arm) just weren’t right!

If a wizard gave me a fish’s tail I’d be tempted to make some kind of fish stew for dinner.

I don't seem to remember DH having any problem cradling DD when she was a baby - those of you with DC, did their dads struggle to cradle their heads?

However, when she was a bit bigger I could carry her more easily relative to my size and strength because of the shape of my waist and hips - 'childbearing' in more than one way.

I'm gonna need some kind of diagram regarding these creases.. I don't think I have any (apart from my inner elbow? My armpit?) - at least none that any person with articulated arms doesn't have.

It's more realistic for a wizard to turn a man into a woman with child-bearing capabilities than a surgeon.

I'd like a fishtail. I'd also need gills, please, because I could then swim off into the sunset and leave all this shit behind. What a load of hairy bollox.

I wondered what the 'no words' bit was going to be about

Yanbu OP...no words is spot on

(I know im not on aibu )

I’d rather a wizard changed me into another wizard.

Then I could grow my own damn fish tail and not rely on some old beardy bloke.

Even Lewis Carroll couldn't have made that shit up.

In the 'magical land' where surgeons do transplants of legs for fishes tails!

Therein lies the epitome of the problem. Because it's not replacing body parts that maketh the woman, only partially having some same parts as a woman.

This makes it very clear where the hyperbole stems from.

Silly Rovin!
