I was called a uterus haver, in a what'sapp chat, aimed at promoting female health,in a family chat...
The person who sent it is very woke, does lots for the community, lgbt and sporting.
I didn't reply as did no one else.
I said to my partner that it is an attempt at normalising that language, the one that can't say woman...

What does that mean?

Outofinspiration · 11/05/2019 22:26

Uterus haver is such shitty syntax apart from anything else. At least they could say 'uterus owner'.

Tell them that 'uterus haver' makes you feel dehumanised and that you prefer to be called a woman. Why shouldn't your preference be taken into account?

PodgeBod · 11/05/2019 22:27

Why not reply, and say you don't like that or find it acceptable?

kayvade · 11/05/2019 22:27

Id say um yeh, what of it 'scrotum haver'

SirVixofVixHall · 11/05/2019 22:27

So what would a woman post-hysterectomy be then ? A uterus loser ?
Does this person have a beard ? Grrrrrr.

Ask them how they know which internal organs you have or don't have: Have they seen your medical records because those are supposed to be confidential?!

OhHolyJesus · 11/05/2019 22:32

I hate this.
Appreciate it's a family chat - that would make me all the more likely to call it out tbh. Hope you feel you can. Uterus haver. Fuck that.

Genderfreelass · 11/05/2019 22:35

Was it a "Bollocks haver" that made the ridiculous comment?

BillywilliamV · 11/05/2019 22:35

My cat and at least one of my hamsters has a uterus...my mother does not...Hmm

gamerchick · 11/05/2019 22:39

And you said nothing? In a family chat. Hmm are you afraid?

Oncewasblueandyellowtwo · 11/05/2019 22:42

OhHolyJesusit's my partners family, if it was mine, well, they wouldn't say it, and if they did I would have it out! It's one of those family chats that are usually just about the kids pictures. I'm just pissed off that it's infiltrated something so mundane as a family what'sapp chat...

I really don't understand TRA wanting to call people by what body parts they have, do they really want to be called penis/testes/Bollocks havers? Surely being called trans would be preferable to Bollocks haver - or am i just being far to logical for TRA, I know it's not a strong point of theirs.

Gamer it's my Inlaws WhatsApp chat, with one very woke cousin saying this stuff. It seems innocent if your are not GC and don't have clue about what's going on... It's s the normalising of this language that I'm pissed off at.

Call it out. How rude is that. To say that to you

Why did you not ?

littlbrowndog · 11/05/2019 22:49

Or just tell him to piss off

Outofinspiration · 11/05/2019 22:49

Is this woke person a penis haver?

Honestly, tell them you don't like it, that you find it offensive and would like to be referred to as 'woman'.

MrsWooster · 11/05/2019 22:51

Why don’t you call it out?

Oncewasblueandyellowtwo · 11/05/2019 22:52

OK so I could get outed for this as it's a very specific issue. I'm from Ireland, you may or may have not heard that there is a huge scandal about cervical check, ie smeer tests. So far 3 prominent campaigners have died because of smear tests not being read correctly. Yes, I said they have die, 3 or more women have died because if this. Someone on a what'sapp chat sent a reminder to "all those with a cervix to get a smear test"

OP posts:
littlbrowndog · 11/05/2019 22:53

Sure on family WhatsApp nobody says this sort of stuff

littlbrowndog · 11/05/2019 22:54

Well what do,you want to do or say ?

FannyCann · 11/05/2019 22:54

So what would a woman post-hysterectomy be then ? A uterus loser ?

And what does that make me, a post menopausal woman? A shrivelled uterus haver? A redundant uterus haver?

I agree with others. I was wouldn't let that pass. It gives me the rage and I'd obviously want to share that around and spread the love. Angry

littlbrowndog · 11/05/2019 22:54

Just do it
