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?

Crossed posts. Well, if sex =/= gender, then single-sex toilets are already gender-neutral, so we'll keep those and that's fine.

What's your position on saggy tits, OP? Male or female?

Asking for a friend.

I always thought sheep had blue dye on them so farmers could separate their flock, but now I’m not so sure...

Critical thinking 2/10

Empathy 2/10

Cognitive ability 3/10

LangCleg · 13/02/2019 10:22

Oh, and also Weetabix. I'll need your position on Weetabix before I am able to come to a full judgement here.

Whatsnewpussyhat · 13/02/2019 10:22

I'm defo a man. I can build flat pack furniture and put the bins out.

Terrycotta · 13/02/2019 10:22

It's just natural to find progress scary, back in the Victorian era people probably thought against inside toilets, but now they are the norm.

man i hope this is just someone being silly cos the idea that people actually believe shit like this is terrifying.

so man just means a person who like all the stuff stereo-typically associated with men and a woman is a person who likes all the stuff stereo-typically associated with women?

and this list of stereotypes is all true and magically appeared from where? as gender is a concept that changes over time/culture/location then you could flip from man to woman depending on what country you live in. brilliant stuff.

Although, further to my previous assessment, the persistence does add quite a bit of style to the endeavour. No, I think I might take it back Tatiana, this is much better than I thought it would be. I think satirists do have such a mountain to climb on this one, and its a vital part of social discourse, in my view.

RockyFlintstone · 13/02/2019 10:23

Terry, if you want to wind people up on here you have to be just a leeeeeeeetle more subtle about it.

The art of good trolling is actually quite a tricky one you know, and I don't think it's your calling to be honest hun x

OldCrone · 13/02/2019 10:24

one look at the first page of the forum i can see right away toilets is one.

Those toilets aren't gender neutral, they're mixed sex. Do you understand the difference between sex and gender, Terry?

MrsBartlettforthewin · 13/02/2019 10:24

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.

Pretty sure my lived experiences of crippling periods, giving birth and being ignored for job progression due to my biological sex means I fit in pretty well with women.

Plus who says short hair and liking to wear trousers is male appearance? Oh right I remember the thousands of years of patriarchy.

Lysistrataknowsherstuff · 13/02/2019 10:24

So OP from your posts I'm presuming that the reason pink is now a girl's colour, whereas it was a boy's colour in Victorian times, is because we've evolved since then.

Really? Really?

I have just realised I'm wearing a pink cardigan though. That would make me a woman. However at the weekend I'm going to be hanging wallpaper. Therefore a man. Am I actually gender fluid, like Philip Bunce?

Datun · 13/02/2019 10:24

What should I do? Am I a man or a woman?

You are a man, but everyone can understand the repression and hardship coming out will cause, so your wish to remain a woman is respected.

Wait, what? But I make beautiful cupcakes with sparklezzz on them, and can sew a spanking French seam.

Why do I have to be a man?

Snot fair, OP.

Ok, so what do I have to do now? To be a man?

Help me, OP!

FloralBunting · 13/02/2019 10:25

This is not someone being serious. The truly invested wouldn't be sticking around to argue the toss, which is probably the Achilles heel in the persona. The crackerjacks who brought us #NoDebate would never have got to 5 pages and still be engaging.

Terrycotta · 13/02/2019 10:26

But to say this is to ignore the existence of trans men, who are not women but have this experience.

The self-obsessed hyperbole...(cue dramatic music)
"plotting the destruction of a small minority group"

Too much stupid to even tackle. Tired now, off to lick a hot lightbulb.

Mummyoflittledragon · 13/02/2019 10:27

I agree identifying as a cat totes normal...

Or a lizard....

Or a leopard!

Absolutely in awe of your spanking french seams.

Understanding of brain development has come a long way since the Victorian era.

So can many master chef's who are male.
