Trans reveal party

[PurpleFrames]

When you realise their activism is spelt capitalism 🙄

Pregnant people FFS. I am heartily sick of this shit.

How can you not be living as your true gender from the very start ? Like , how can you live as anything other than yourself? I can see how you can be repressed into not living as yourself, but you don't have a day when you swap, if you have been repressed you have a long process of recognition, acceptance, personal change etc? Confused.

Meh, this idea is sooo last season, Jazz did the whole 'Goodbye Penis Party' waaaay before you.

Didn't work out so great, maybe that's why it hasn't caught on?

A bit like a divorce party or a christening I suppose, just a celebration to mark a change in life.

Mind boggling slightly at what they want to be gifted. It's not about stereotypes, right? So, hormone pills, scalpel? Deed poll document?

i did notice her surname was "Naff".

Is the celebration after surgery?

Is the celebration for taking cross sex hormones?

Is it a children's party celebration for being prescribed puberty blockers?

Is it a celebration for wearing the other sex's clothes?

It is a celebration of choice isn't it?
Now spot the odd one out.

Can women have a wake if they lose their long fought for, sex based rights?

No thinking woman will want to celebrate that.

One of the things that made me unable to be an effective healthcare professional for males in transition was the unexpectedly volcanic reaction I had to realising that nobody gave me any help or support with growing into a woman or negotiating the brutal initiations of both the expectations of femininity and the imperatives of female biology, and yet somehow the people I was supposed to be helping thought I would be able to do it.

If you want to be feminine, boys, do it.
You're the ones who say its innate and just the real you. Fucking deal with it. You were the ones who sniggered when i bled through my knickers onto my skirt, you laughed at my kackhanded attempts at blonde highlights, you tried to get me to have sex without contraception (and not one of you ever came with me to the family planning clinic or the GPs to get told off before they'd give me the morning after pill). My interest in your fashion sense is less than zero and I'm not going to buy you fucking presents.

Want to have showers, fine, knock yourself out.

If people care to celebrate their own self-interest and purely individualistic notions of 'identity', it's no skin off my nose. Neither are friends buying presents, if so inclined, for the aid of their self-presentation. I never had a 'hey I've started my periods!' or 'wow! I'm starting to spout tits and body-hair' party to validate my 'gender' identity, but if people are THAT involved with themselves that this kind of BS is necessary to big themselves up, then fine. Whatever floats your boat.

It's the stampeding over women's rights, freedoms, safety, personal security, autonomy, and our own rights to 'self-identify' [pukes] that I find so repellent.

Pregnant people
Gift you things
Living your true gender

When I am a 'menopausal person' soon can you throw me a party, gifting me a mini fan, HRT summer duvet please, and the sacred burning of Always wrappers (to be fair, I've already banned the latter).
Living my true sex.

I could buy them a copy of this book?

I guess the obvious point to celebrate would be on receiving a GRC....

but what to do with self-ID?!

Reminds me of when an acquaintance of mine, bitter about all the presents she’d had to buy for basic heteros over the years (engagement presents, wedding presents, baby presents) decided to throw a party - a virtual party at that - to celebrate her choice not to get married or have children... and there was a gift list.

As far as I can tell, she wasn’t joking. She wanted to earn back the £££ she’d spent on others over the years

I like the idea of menopause showers.

I feel like I'd know what to buy for a menopause shower though. A gender shower not so much.

Actually the menopause shower idea makes me want to buy random nice things for female friends. The person who wrote the tweet above may want to consider that this is more likely to happen if people actually like you.

Definitely up for Menopause showers!

Awesome. Now I get to throw a 'still haven't bothered with the getting married bit' party and demand lots of expensive gifts!

How did I not think of this before? I could do with some new towels, and a toaster, and the bedroom furniture's looking a bi the worse for ware these days.............

Aw, Mimmymum thinks we are spiteful

Go well, Helen.
