Women don't have penises

Just in service station and it seems the word is spreading! See next comment for pic

Spot the trope

Yep. Unable to recognise the conversation has moved on long since.

I did think, seeing the screenshot, I’m definitely letting you all down not carrying a permanent marker at all times.

Or a fresh sticker to apply over the top.

We can never carry enough stickers. After all, it is all we do all day

I wonder if those stickers mean anything to most people? Before I peaked I wouldn't have known what it was about, I'd have thought it was some kind of unfunny joke, or someone stating the obvious.

I think women who see the stickers and think "WTF?" are likely to remember them when they're asked to believe TWAW. It prompts them to consider how they define "woman" and, from that, to the understanding that woman = adult human female.

Most people assume that men who identify as women have all had surgery. Some even believe that surgeons can literally change someone's sex. The idea that women can have penises runs counter to most people's understanding of the world.

It starts the conversation, iyswim.

So I guess I'll just have to do what everyone else does and mind my own business about what other people have in their underwear.

If men (regardless of gender identity) as a class weren't so relentlessly dangerous to women as a class and they didn't use their dicks as weapons, women would be far less concerned about the contents of their underwear.

And of course it's very rare that we can't tell what sex a stranger is at a glance. No underwear inspection required. It's astonishing how many men who identify as women think they pass. Women are usually too intimidated to challenge men in women only spaces. The idiots misinterpret this to mean we haven't immediately identified their sex.

Of course not all transwomen are rapists. But some are. Which prison do you think we (as a society) should put Karen White in, PetrolBastard, a men's prison, or a women's prison?

Ooh, I love a sticker! I would like one that says this:

"Keep your male privilege out of our bathrooms."

Hulking big shoulders and massive feet. One of my friends is just over six feet tall but she only takes a size 8 shoe. Size 8 feet is small for a bloke.

Neither women nor transwomen belong in men's prisons.

Neither women nor transwomen belong in men's prisons

Doesn’t answer the question you were asked I think PetrolBastard ?

Neither women nor transwomen belong in men's prisons.

So, since the only options are men's or women's prisons, that'll be a yes to putting convicted rapist Karen White who still has his penis (as reported by one of the two women he assaulted while on remand in a women's prison) back into a women's prison.

If that's what you really think Petrol then own it. None of this meally mouthed crap about "neither belongs in a men's prison." If you don't put White in a man's prison, you are advocating for him to be put into a women's prison.

(Note to Mumsnet mods: I was explicitly told by Justine herself that we would not be expected to use female pronouns for convicted sex offenders.)

@PetrolBastard why does the use of the time of others bother you so much?

Yes, it does answer your question. Should a transwoman be in a man's prison? No because they are not a man.

You prefer not to see transwomen in the bathroom. I prefer not to see hateful propaganda. Happy to welcome transwomen though.

So when did this happen?

I'm pretty sure that the person lying in bed with me waving their 7 inch magnificence has told me, a lesbian, that they are female.

I've got GCSE Biology. A*.

Yes, it does answer your question. Should a transwoman be in a man's prison? No because they are not a man.

Perhaps a visit to specsavers?

PetrolBastard, are you saying that a convicted rapist with a penis should be in a women's prison?

Should a transwoman be in a man's prison? No because they are not a man.

And this is the point on which we disagree.

And where should convicted female sex offenders go? Where did we put Myra Hindley?

Are you saying that a convicted rapist with a penis should be in a women's prison?

And where should convicted female sex offenders go?

In a female prison facility of course. Anyone not female doesn't belong there. There's no such thing as a female penis.
