Oh Ffs, ABC! (Warning: Rant Ahead)

Watching the ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) news last night and this little news story came on screen:

www.abc.net.au/news/2019-09-16/same-sex-couples-naturally-conceived-baby-dna-from-both-mums/11515214

Yes, it's our old friend "trans" again.

Now if they'd really been a "same sex couple", or the partner-with-the-penis had carried the child, that would have been a newsworthy story, but "heterosexual couple have PIV sex and nine months later a baby is born" is not really worth the airtime. Even if the father of the child decides to call themselves its mother and wear lipstick.

I found myself swearing at the TV and switching it off (shades of my father who used to make me cringe by doing that when I was a teenager.)

I always loved the ABC's investigative journalism, but when they decide to air this woke nonsense I feel like backing Murdoch in his push to have it privatised!

Can't get worked up about that one. He's trans, she's bi, she fancied him anyway, he told her before they married or conceived the baby -- wouldn't be for me, but they sound OK.

I thought it was most fortuitous she was able to disclose she was "bi" at the same time her trans husband disclosed they were transgender.

I mean that's a marvellous bit of luck. Really is. It's like that Jette Knox woman, she realised she was a lesbian after her son and then husband transitioned.

I mean, what are the chances?

DNA from two mums though, the whole things miraculous, it's almost like a new religion. Amazing.

Praise be to the act of heterosexual sex!

I know! One could almost say fairy tale levels of serendipity!

Well, I was trying to find a bright side- and this doesn’t seem to me at the same end of the scale as dumping your partner in it after years of marriage.

Even on the slowest of slow news days, you'd think somewhere in Canberra there'd at least be a cat stuck up a tree

Well equally, I have no issue with the couple really (although Isabelle sounds very selfish starting transition while Rebecca was suffering hyperemesis). But that’s not the point of complaint. It’s the reporting. “Two biological mothers”, “DNA from both mothers” as if some pioneering IVF techniques have been undertaken. A biological male put their penis into the vagina of a biological female and it resulting in a pregnancy. Yet we are being gaslighted. It may come across as a “feel good” sort of story, but it’s these sorts of of articles that pave the way for the normalisation of changing the definition of woman.

What notbad said

Cantstopgrazing · 23/09/2019 11:52

Did you notice that the article actually says they transitioned to female rather than a woman? Obviously, woman isn't enough anymore, they want to own female too!

abc had dinner from science book.

and they write news from eggs.

YouJustDoYou · 23/09/2019 12:46

Jesus Christ, the penis-haver said they GOT OFF on having the baby suck their nipples?

SHUDDER. That is beyond sick.

Juells · 23/09/2019 13:13

(And yeah, I kind of got off on it. Don't judge.)

I'm judging. Rebecca just couldn't let it be unsaid. Rebecca couldn't not feed a baby when stuffed full of hormones and medication. Even though the baby was premature and low birth weight. The selfishness, entitlement and attention-seeking are off the charts. Nobody matters but them.

Hellmistress · 23/09/2019 13:25

I pity the two parents and their nasty delusions but what makes me fit to be tied is the reporting. The broadcaster knows who's male and female, and they know we know too, because none of us are idiots who failed our Biol GCSE, but they don't care, they're toeing the line anyway. The craven shits. These bastards want our spaces, our language, everything. Soon we shall cease to exist. Hail the revolution!

Callmejudith · 23/09/2019 13:39

Poor poor Rebecca

Hoppinggreen · 23/09/2019 15:18

“Isabelle began freezing her sperm”
I don’t know how to describe how fucked up that sentence is

theunknownknown · 23/09/2019 15:33

oh jesus, I literally feel sick having read that second article. That poor baby.
The gaslighting going on with this whole movement and the complicit press frightens me tbh

WrathoSWhlttIeKIop · 23/09/2019 19:19

Here we have the ongoing narrative that trans can have children too.
Now there's no need to worry about transing children becoming sterile, because medical science will give you what you want.
Actually, it's not medical science because these people are healthy, it's experimental science.

StealthPolarBear · 23/09/2019 19:25

Poor baby.

StealthPolarBear · 23/09/2019 19:28

And actually I'm willing to go out on a limb and say these are bad parents. He gets off on his child sucking his nipple. That's abusive. But probably that's just my transphobia coming out.
