Special trans taxi services to keep them safe

[BuzzShitbagBobbly]

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.

Mind blown! Thanks!!! 🎵

I was 19 when the taxi driver pulled into a lay-by, got his cock out and masturbated next to me. It was in the middle of nowhere and I was totally paralysed with shock. He finished and drove me home, to my address which I’d already given him. I was terrified for months that he would break in and rape me.

I’d always sat in the front of minicabs so I couldnt be locked in, but now on the rare occasion I have to get a taxi alone I sit in the back because it’s all too reminiscent.

That (and much worse) is the reality of women taking cabs. Men are a threat. Trans women are men. They can fuck off with pretending they are at all oppressed.

Laughing behind your hand at someone’s bad wig isn’t oppression.

Well, I for one am glad that there is a supportive service for trans people available if they wish to get a taxi without worrying about being abused.

In no way does this affect me or my life or the lives of any women I do or do not know.

Feminist board at its finest.

yipee

Thanks Rufus. I was very lucky that’s all it was, but I wish I’d reported it at the time because it’s likely he did go on to rape.

I was seventeen when a woman sexually assaulted me when I was asleep at a party.

Women are a threat.

Go on karasaurus if know you want to say it...

Channels Mrs Doyle...

Go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on....

I’d try not to beat myself up about that yipee

The past is a completely different world

And we all agree. So what is your problem. Apart from women shouldn't have such services too.

Oh 2 p’s

Apologies yippee

Its no good me bandying flowers around if I can’t spell your name right

Oh that's weird. I get assaulted by a woman and I get told to fuck off.

Women are soo lovely and perfect.

Are women bad, Kark? Best leave us dangerous lot to our own spaces and services then, and go play in the wide open fields with all the lovely blokes.

And you got flowers from Rufus. Not a fuck off.

And I suspect the fuck off you got was because you decided to respond to yippee's account of her distress by claiming that women are a threat sexually, which, tbh, I can understand.

I'm sure you'll twizzle around and claim the nasty feminists don't care about your assault, but you dont actually give a crap about any of the issues the women here are talking about, so I really can't be arsed to twat about with that.

Women are a threat though. Maybe not as much, but they are. To me, they are. And not just sexually either. I've been attacked countless times by women because of the environments I've been in historically. That's what makes me so mad about people saying that men or trans people are. Anyone could hurt you. And it's not fair to denounce people or refuse to get in cars with people who have done nothing because some bad people exist in the world.

Women are a threat though.

Which women? Which environments you've been in historically. Women, as a sex, have a far lower offending profile than men in relation to violence and sexual assaults.

Of course anyone could hurt you. But broadly, evidence based statistics (plus the fact that every woman I know has been sexually assaulted, cat-called, groped or otherwise by a MAN) means that MEN as a class pose a much greater risk than women. It's not exactly rocket science.

Your comparison is like saying that a tame daschund, when surrounded by hundreds of wild wolves, could hurt you. Yes, it could. But the wolves are far more likely to rip you to shreds than the daschund is.

Blimey. You’re not even trying to disguise your hatred for women now, Karkasaurus.

Whatever. Peddle the MRA bullshit all you want, free country. You'll get no quarter about it on a feminist board, and actually I'm quite sure that anyone who can be bothered to fully engage with the likes of you will fully explain the evidence that illustrates exactly how much shit you're chatting.

Personally I've got things to do that involve my own peace of mind. Go well.

I refuse to get in cars with men I don't know, who have been inviting me since I was about 12.

Is that what you mean.

The utter disregard for the reality of women's and girls lives, when it comes to the vast range of inappropriate, upsetting, threatening, illegal behaviour from men, that we experience fun such a young age on such a regular basis, is really starting to fuck me off.

No women are not a threat to women and girls in the same way men are, nowhere fucking near.

Yes, you're prejudiced against having a trans taxi driver. I do think that's a shitty attitude, yes

And trans taxi drivers are prejudiced against having non-trans taxi drivers.

And as you put a clear distinction between trans identified males and women, why are you calling women names for doing the same?

Kark it hasn’t gone unnoticed that you won’t condemn bomb threats to women.
