Huffington Post, showing that they can’t understand simple, basic biology

Oh ffs.

Sux2buthen · 07/06/2019 21:22

I'm quite liberal but this made even me eye roll. If you're pregnant with a uterus and a vagina they'll call you a woman because you are one.
Bloody worlds falling apart at the seams with climate change, starvation, children suffering and there's people upset because they aren't being called 'them' while they go and get the abortion they are lucky they have the right to get. Getting on my bloody nerves now (I realise my opinion is irrelevant lol)

Aquamarine1029 · 07/06/2019 21:23

More proof the world has gone mad.

FannyCann · 07/06/2019 22:18

What Sux said.

Makes me bloody furious. How stupid do you have to be to be more concerned about your pronouns than recognising the assault on women's rights, which includes you, because you have a uterus and a pregnant uterus at that, and abortion is being restricted irrespective of whatever your pronouns are,

The (mostly) men who are enacting laws to restrict abortion don't give a fuck about your pronouns. They know what a woman is. You might not like being a woman but when it comes to pregnancy and abortion, that is what you are. Identify as a Martian, whatever the fuck you like, but it won't get you to the front of the abortion queue.

I have very little no sympathy for people so stupid.

After drinking a glass or two of wine, I was just debating whether to start a thread to say "right, I'm fucked off with all this now! It needs to stop. Enough " and I find this thread.

I'm fucking fucked off with all this trolling. And the various establishments lapping up Mermaids, Stonewall and all their training bollocks. They can just piss off. They are just charities. They are not edicts from God.

FannyCann · 07/06/2019 22:24

Is this the thread for people who have had one or two or more Wineand are feeling a bit sweary?
The subject matter is very provocative frankly. Wine

Voice0fReason · 07/06/2019 22:28

It just shows that no matter how you identify, if you're female you might get pregnant. There's no escaping biology.

FloralBunting · 07/06/2019 22:30

Yes they are, Huffpost. Now fuck off because this utter shite will not do one tiny thing to assist all the women who find themselves considering abortions, you morally deficient website of wank.

TurboTeddy · 07/06/2019 22:37

I'm not sure why there is a complaint about lack of access. Both the non binary person and transman accessed abortion regardless of how they identified. And why in hell do trans women need access to abortion, they don't have a uterus.

Apologies I totally forgot how special these people are.

I have not had wine and I feel very sweary.

GCAcademic · 07/06/2019 22:38

What very special people. Let's change all the words immediately to reflect their specialness.

FloralBunting · 07/06/2019 22:41

I've seen a video clip of the two in the article. The elfin 'non binary' person has a jolly good moan about the fact that the abortion provider was called a 'woman's centre' and that as a 'feminine presenting non binary', the nurses used 'she and her' pronouns which made it a really terrible time.

And that article has the gall to talk about 'cis privilege'.

JackyHolyoake · 07/06/2019 22:44

"Women aren't the only people who get abortions?

More ridiculous gaslighting!

Er ... yes they are ... women are females .. only females ever need abortions!

Sofasurfingsally · 07/06/2019 22:48

Ffs.

MontyPythonsFlyingFuck · 07/06/2019 22:49

Erm, yes they are.

AngeloMysterioso · 07/06/2019 22:49

The problem is the people making these laws can now use this to claim that it isn't an assault on women's rights, because "men get pregnant too".

From the article “I don’t care what other racial or ethnic identity you identify with but just by the premise of being cis-identified, there is so much more privilege that you have over folks who do not identify as cis."
Oh do fuck right off,the absolute entitlement of the TRAs in full force with that statement.

Oncewasblueandyellowtwo · 07/06/2019 22:54

Find it hilarious that they say "cis-identified" who the fuck identifies as cis, cis is a word they are forcing on people. Sorry I'm also sweary, but havent had wine.

AngeloMysterioso · 07/06/2019 22:55

"Cis folks need to understand that they operate within a privilege"

Yeah, well that's what I was thinking when I had an abortion. And when I had to have a colposcopy in my 13th week of pregnancy. I'm sure it's all I'll think about when I have to have another at 32 weeks. And again a month post partum. How fucking lucky I am to be born female and "identify" thus.

If I roll my eyes any harder they might never go back again.

Yes of course an abortion is so much more traumatic for a transgender man than it is for a mere woman. My pronouns this and my pronouns that, it's very clear that the only pronoun that really matters is me me me!

Ali1cedowntherabbithole · 07/06/2019 22:57

I'm disappointingly sober. (Too busy for Wine)

But it's a fuck off from me.

GCAcademic · 07/06/2019 22:58

there is so much more privilege that you have over folks who do not identify as cis.

Meh. I would love to be able to identify out of my sex. These people are so privileged to be able to do that. Let's call it trans privilege.

If Harry Enfield was still making his show today, there would be a middle-class, blue-haired youth character traveling around council estates, domestic violence shelters and refugee camps telling everyone how "they" (singular) were significantly more oppressed than you.

nonsenceagain · 07/06/2019 23:01

News flash (after several 🍷): only women have abortions Shock

Redshoeblueshoe · 07/06/2019 23:10

I have had too much Wine to post on this thread
Maybe tomorrow . . . .

FannyCann · 07/06/2019 23:15

it's very clear that the only pronoun that really matters is me me me!

I'm going to keep that one for future use. Wink

OccasionalKite · 07/06/2019 23:27

Indeed!

How difficult is it to comprehend that
only women get pregnant.

I mean, that's a basic one.
