You know you need a little break from the gender wars when.......

You are reading 'AIBU', a poster says 'I am a ftm' and you immediately interpret that as 'male to female'

Yes that took me a minute

'female to male'

I'm glad it wasn't just me, I read it as Female to Male and couldn't understand the point of the post. It did take me a few minutes to realise that she meant first time mother.

Not only did I completely misread it I also managed to transpose the words in my head between thinking and typing!

Full time mum ftm
Female to male ftm
Yeah sometimes I get them mixed up.

It's first time mum rather than full time mum, no?

As an aside as we are on FWR, I bloody well hate the expression full time mum. All mothers are full time mother's whether they wohm or are sahm!

I was watching the Tour de France when the commentators started talking about the GC contenders.

I did wonder why they were talking about Gender Critical riders.

Then I realised that they were talking about General Classification riders - those riders that are in contention to win the race overall.
