Some of you who aren't total haters come across as sheep who are yourselves repressed trans individuals worried about coming out and being liberated.

You say you don't conform to Gendered stereotypes but you are also afraid to discard them and truly be free of 'sex' altogether, it makes no sense.
It's funny and confusing to see you go around in circles with your wrong and confusing logic, "I'm a woman but i don't like pink and have short hair", sorry to break it to you but this isn't the words of a woman, you are a repressed transgender person, you are a man!

Woman wouldn't say half the stuff that is said here, look at yourselves, most, if not all of you are probably male brained.

It's nothing to be scared of, you are special and brave to admit it rather than constantly assume it's bad and to try.

Ask yourselves this, would actual women plot the destruction of a small minority group like you people are?

Indeed it doesn't.

Thank you, OP, we didn't realise! It all makes perfect sense now. We've been men all along.

I'm so excited that I'll finally be thought of as special and brave, instead of invisible as a middle-aged woman.

If you are actually an advocate for trans rights you have massively shot yourself in the foot. So gender identity really does just come down to pink and sparkles?

This is hilarious!

Poor effort.

You really ought to ask around for feedback from your mates before attempting to pass such drivel as rigorous thought.

But I'm thinking you already did? 🤔

Op doesn't understand what men and women are

What makes no sense is that you're equating sex and gender. They are not the same thing.

No it's how you feel about yourself inside who you connect with on an inner level. you don't fit in with girls and women, you are more drawn to male appearance, deep down you must realize this.

My understanding seems to be above yours, if you think it's just a binary choice.

You do realise that not so long ago (60s/70s/80s) there wasn't this massive influx of pink in a "girls'" section? There were just children's clothes. I had my brother's hand me downs, nothing unusual about that. He had a pink tea-set that he chose, nothing unusual about that. A bit further back little boys were all wearing dresses and had long hair: doesn't mean that my dad was actually trans.

But, just for you, I'll let my mum know that she's actually married to a woman, I'm sure SIL will be surprised to learn that she's been married to a woman all these years, and DH will be shocked to find out that he's actually gay as he's married to a trans man 🤷‍♀️

CuriousaboutSamphire · 13/02/2019 09:48

Well, it's all a bit garbled, but I'll give it a go!

Some of you who aren't total haters come across as sheep who are yourselves repressed trans individuals worried about coming out and being liberated. So those who don't flat out hate trans people ar sheep? OK! As a GC woman I am a reprseed transman? OK, how do you plan on freeing me from my repression?

You say you don't conform to Gendered stereotypes but you are also afraid to discard them and truly be free of 'sex' altogether, it makes no sense. I don't conform, trousers, short hair, no make up today! I can't be free of my sex, it is literally (in the true sense of that word) written into every atom of my being!

It's funny and confusing to see you go around in circles with your wrong and confusing logic, Syas someone who wrote this confuddled OP

"I'm a woman but i don't like pink and have short hair", sorry to break it to you but this isn't the words of a woman, you are a repressed transgender person, you are a man! Ah! You got me, I did indeed just type that! Again I ask you, how do you intend to free me frm my repressor?

Woman wouldn't say half the stuff that is said here, look at yourselves, most, if not all of you are probably male brained. Oooh! Can I ask my boss for a raise, demand he ignores my tits and cunt? Oh! is HE my opressor?

It's nothing to be scared of, you are special and brave to admit it rather than constantly assume it's bad and to try. If it ain't bad and scary why are so many transwomen tryng so hard to avoid being a man?

Ask yourselves this, would actual women plot the destruction of a small minority group like you people are? Wha? You lost me there... Destruction = obliteration, dismantling. You know, like TRAs are doning with words like Lesbian and Woman. Not sure who/what it is that 'us people' have destroyed. Given that some of us are transmen and women that would be a bit self destructive.

As an 'actual woman' I have given it my best shot. As an actual whatever could yu try an hinest discussion? A proper discourse that incudes you listening as well as proselytising!

Hi JaxintheBlue 👋!

What makes no sense is that you're equating sex and gender. They are not the same thing.

Sex is not important anymore, humans are evolving beyond the need for things to be classed by sex.

so glad I’ve learned I’m a man, this is v useful. Where do I sign to collect my extra pay and opt out of most of the childcare and housework?

Terrycotta · 13/02/2019 09:50

Yes, and why do you think this has changed, it's because our understanding of brains has changed.

OP posts:
GerdaLovesLiIi · 13/02/2019 09:51

Even I think the OP is being a bit illogical here...

Tolleshunt · 13/02/2019 09:52

Who said satire was dead?

More please, OP!

CuriousaboutSamphire · 13/02/2019 09:52

My understanding seems to be above yours, if you think it's just a binary choice. You see, you are now talking to a number of women who were young in the 70s and 80s. We have always known that presentation of self doesn't have to be either/or according to gender stereotypes. We have always played around with those! We have never meekly accepted the polar opposites of GI Joe and Barbie!

You have utterly misunderstood your audience there! It is us who fuck around with feminsim and masculinism and we don't care! We just present as we see fit. You can't squash us back into geder stereotypes, we simply won't go!
