Hey BBC, where's our front-page promoted article and video interview about all the things women have done for and by each other, for centuries, to stay safe in public? No?

The "look at poor ickle us suffering from these things nobody has ever had to worry about before" is so infuriating. We have been living this shit forever.

Yeah yeah, women who don't agree with you are misogynistic

No, i think she was just talking about you

Karkasaurus · 05/09/2019 14:52

Nah, we have this all the time. It's the same old shit rolled out each time. Then when you can't think of any rational answer, out come the recipes or whatever horseshit is the flavour of the day. Once you've finished accusing everyone of being a man, a woman hater etc etc ad nauseum.

All because I think trans women are perfectly reasonable to use a taxi.

Your feet must be sore by now. 🕺🏻

No one has said they aren’t

No one

I reckon ever...

S1naidSucks · 05/09/2019 14:55

I’m still waiting for your answer, Karkasaurus. Are women entitled to female only spaces/services, free from ALL men, no matter how they identify? That includes males who say they are women.

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 05/09/2019 14:57

So what if you are the person who works in the city - and is a ‘woman’ for part of the week and a man for the rest. (Google it is you don’t believe me). What if - on a male day - they decide to take Laydeee Cabs? Will they be refused? What if they are on a ‘woman’ day and had to shift some crap in the office so is wearing tatty clothes and no wig or makeup - how do they prove their credentials (because I certainly don’t look my best in my scruffs but am obviously a woman - this person has no chance because they are male bodied in the first place).

And since the stonewall trans umbrella covers everything these days, where do the draw the line? Dressed as a dog - do they need to ask if you are a dog or a bitch before taking you home?

Karkasaurus · 05/09/2019 14:58

Nope. Quick run - I'm your traditional woman hating psychopath who thinks trans people can come in the toilet. Shock Shock Shock

Karkasaurus · 05/09/2019 14:58

Not that that has ANYTHING to do with a taxi service

How trans are we talking here? Post op or a man who feels like they are woman on a Tuesday and Thursday’ takes no hormones or surgery, doesn’t shave, but feels that wearing a dress is enough Because stonewall doesn’t distinguish between the 2.

Fraggling · 05/09/2019 15:02

Women only taxi services were deemed sexist weren't they and not allowed.

It's depressing really.

Karkasaurus · 05/09/2019 15:02

I'm not bothered about whether people have had an operation. None of my business, is it?

And again NOTHING to do with this.

Fraggling · 05/09/2019 15:04

I have zero issue with a trans service with trans people and allies helping each other out.

What is galling is that when women try to do this men accuse us of sexism and its all shut down.

That's the issue.

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 05/09/2019 15:04

I didn't bring it up and was responding to your post. You really don’t mind being in a confined space with someone like ‘Karen’ White? Ok-so...

Rufusthebewilderedreindeer · 05/09/2019 15:04

I'm your traditional woman hating psychopath who thinks trans people can come in the toilet

Weird thing to admit to

Karkasaurus · 05/09/2019 15:07

Just saving time for you before I'm accused of it. Yep, I'm your classic example of a woman hater. I loathe women. Hate them. It's a trial every day of my life being one and being on the planet with them. I'm literally misogyny incarnate.

There. Now we've got that out of the way.

Rufusthebewilderedreindeer · 05/09/2019 15:09

This only seems to happen on the brexit and FWR threads

Very strange behaviour

There are lots of things women are not able to do. Why choose one that focuses on trans people.... again.

Rufusthebewilderedreindeer · 05/09/2019 15:17

I think everyone is happy for them to have their own service but questioning why women can't do the same

Yup

Its much more fun apparently to make up stuff no one has said and pretend that the only reason someone hasnt said something mean is because they haven’t got round to it yet

Anyway...

Karkasaurus · 05/09/2019 15:19

Why don't we just save time and you can fill the following in

Karkasaurus is a (insert insult here) because she does not agree with me on this point.

Please copy, paste, and edit as required.

Don't worry about hurting my feelings. I will not be in the slightest bit offended by any of your wild accusations.

Rufusthebewilderedreindeer · 05/09/2019 15:20

You are the only one making wild accusations

There are plenty of taxi services for women only. Or female driving instructors. Or female bus drivers.

What you mean is, why can't you get in a taxi where you are guaranteed one of the people in it isn't trans.
