Does MN have a problem with trans people? **MNHQ edited title as OP has apologised for 'accusatory' tone**

[tryandempathise]

Seem to be threads constantly on the issue of trans.

Why?

Is it because it conflicts with the idea of sex as a construct?

Is it an age thing?

There must be mums on here with trans kids - do you just stay out of it?

Why the obsession with the idea of being attacked by trans women? Is it not the modern equivalent of homophobic blokes all thinking gay men want to rape them?

There's a reason for that.

All I can say is that every victory for the trans community in terms of ensuring access to the places they want to be, I'll celebrate, because I know it will make life more miserable for you fuckers.

I dont give a shit if theres someone next door to me in the loo who has a dick or used to have one and any ounce of care that I might have had for women who do care has been eradicated by the people on this thread. So well done and get used to living in the irrational terror that plagues your shitty lives.

Long live the penis.

An example of the new, shiny customer base so feted by M&S et al and being ushered into women’s spaces.
Telling that they only ever had an ‘ounce of care’ for women in their self made war against us.

you're such a bunch of fucked up bitter old hags

Ageism too eh? Am minded again of the older female nurses who weren't fooled by Saville.

We see you.

Wait, was it in this thread that we were all hailing our holy mother Datun? I could see how that might offend the religious sensibilities of those who're firmly committed to Hailing Penis.

All eyez mates will now report that post, in an orgy of faux outrage.

HQ, no one here is surprised or offended by that post. It was completely predictable, from the off.

Please do not be coerced into supporting it

And the mask skips spectacularly

It does!

And it follows the same formula every single time

As long as there's space in the alpaca field, can my pony join them? She's a REAL pony, not one of those fake unicorns with the tie-on horn. This is a REAL pony. With a mane and everyfink.

Honest.

All I'm asking for is a bit of originality. Surprise us for once.

I bow down, Tinsel

Eyez I think you're being phobic. What about the Lady Peenz feelz? You are not being very inclusive.

Feel free to design your own mugs, pens etc.

Every. Time.

At least it was a fun ride!

Maybe Leeds Spinners could do a banner?

Halfway through this thread I was admiring people's patience but also wondering what was the point.
But I was wrong that last post from eyez was the point.
Thanks to floral for expressing how I view my behaviour towards women in my twenties. Some of these women are going to be mortified.

I think "Long Live The Penis" was Lorraine Bobbitt's motto, wasn't it?

I've a copy of the whole thread in case this gets deleted and anyone wants it.

Well, that was fun while it lasted I suppose. Really glad I haven't missed 'long live the penis' either, that's the most epic slip up we've had for a while I think.

Shame though, for a moment I was hoping we'd get some actual answers. One day, maybe.

I know, right? I hope to God they never play poker. The tells are like a klaxon.

Also, why pick hairdresser? And mention it a thousand times? What have they got against hairdressers ?

Tinsel I'd like to order that printed on a couple of stress balls.

There was a discussion about hairdressing and whether it's a low skill job on a recent thread, so that would be my guess.

(I voted no, it's not. I've tried cutting my own fringe, won't do that again.)

Ooh stress balls.

Long live the penis.

I am a survivor of child sexual abuse, sex trafficking and torture.

I do not hate men or trans identifying people. I do not hate penises.

However sometimes I would like to continue to use women only spaces without encountering men, even if they claim to be women or genuinely believe that they are women.

I do not want to make anyone else's life difficult or problematic. I know that life is not always about me and what I want.

I would simply appreciate it if the people who identify as women but who possess penises could have more of a respectful, considerate attidue and allow me to continue to enjoy women only spaces and find their own spaces and places to enjoy rather than imposing themselves on women only spaces.

I know that I am not alone in my experiences. Many women with mental health problems resulting from sexual trauma have, for decades, enjoyed the Hampstead Women's Pond as a place of sanctuary where, while far from perfect, we can be certain of having some penis free R&R.

Would you really begrudge me and other women who have experienced similar abuses a safe place to seek refuge from stress and the threat of sexual harassment?

You do know that it's not all about you and your needs all of the time don't you?

Apparently hairdressers are the least likely cohort to commit suicide. As opposed to dentists, apparently.

Unfortunately, hood, the answer is a resounding yes. They couldn't care less.
