The guardian is asking for our opinions on life in a woman's body. (!)

Goodness.

Fear not though, there's only four questions, and the fourth is for transgender men and woman who are invited to describe the challenges they've faced in regard to life 'in a woman’s body.'

The changes in the language around being a woman - or should I say 'living in a woman's body' do blow my mind sometimes.

I’ve seen a couple of Guardian articles recently that have been about women and women’s issues and that haven’t even mentioned trans. They’re probably due some refresher training.

Indeed - How on earth did they slip through!

"From first wank to erectile dysfunction: share physical experiences of life as a man"

That’s very exclusionary surely. Was someone allowed access to a keyboard while Big Woke Bro wasn’t looking? What if the person having periods and menopause isn’t a woman? Hey? Under the current rules a transman (and fuck you politically autocorrect - I made it one word for a reason) doesn’t have a woman’s body - it’s a man’s body. Hey Guardian? Back to the gulag for you.

Nope, tried to fill it in, got too angry.

Will try later.

Well I enjoyed that. I shared my experience of PMDD - a dysphoria.

Then wrote:

I wrote all of that previous response in good faith. Now I see the question below and realise that you are less interested in women than I thought. How on Earth do you expect a man, transwoman, to answer ANY question about any gynecological issue?

And then

Are you ACTUALLY asking men who "identify" as women what it is like living in a womans body?

How would they know? Whole body donation not being possible?

Sheer bloody madness.

You can publish any of my response, use my name - XX XX But I bet you'll go for Brave and Stunninng M/Arthur instead!

Good grief!

In the last box I stole juells idea Smile

Please stop conflating men in frocks with women.

Transwomen are transwomen, men with body dysphoria, or AGP. Transmen are transmen, women with body dysphoria. Believe me I know what dysphoria can do to you, they all have my sympathy.

But it would be lovely to retain sex based differences, allow women to be women without having to budge over to let some man in.

Will you be running one of these for men? Maybe : From first wank to erectile dysfunction: share physical experiences of life as a man

And asking transmen to add their voice?

Thought not!

Thd link didn't work. But you can track it down.

I've completed it but doubt they will be in touch.

I've done it, gave the woke bastards a piece of my mind.
