'The word "woman" does not belong to you.'

[WomanBornNotWorn]

Julie Miller @julie_trans has educated us. Which is nice.

'exist mostly in cyberspace'

I can’t remember which other thread I said this on but there are apparently a very small number of us and we sockpuppet a lot.

We must get around a lot too & be very good at cloning ourselves, seeing how many events there are that the TRAs have to come & protest at.

I only exist in cyberspace. I aspire to being a hyper intelligent shade of blue.

Temporarily refracted into a free-standing prism for special occasions?

Indeed Empress.

Has Juile been studying at the Rachel McKinnon school of reality devoid rhetoric?

What a muppet 🤦🏻‍♀️

It’s just fantasist talk. And then the rage comes when the fantasy doesn’t apply in real life

It’s like listening to the local checkout assistant saying how actually they’re really neurosurgeon material as they did a part time qualification in something science related ten years ago.

Or that weird looking person who has stacks of anecdotes about how all these attractive eligible types are “coming onto them”

but funnily enough when you see the people they actually end up with they tend to be a bit dumpy and weird looking.

Gosh come on mumsnetters, is your history that poor??

I remember all of those trans women playing in the women’s football teams obligingly ending their careers in 1921 when the fa banned women from playing football. For anyone, who cannot remember, this was because the women’s game was more popular than the men’s and men were jealous basically.

Because this really would have happened this way. And no, they surely would not have detransitioned. Oh no, not these trans women.

The word 'woman' doesn't magically turn anyone female, I'm afraid. It's not so much that the word belongs to females, more that females belong to it.

Ha ha. The word "woman" certainly doesn't belong to biological males, much as they would like it to.

Spot on, TowelNumber42

However, I admit that I am cryogenically frozen and my communication is via telepathy-machine.

The word 'woman' doesn't magically turn anyone female

I’ve just had visions of a certain someone standing in front of a mirror and saying “woman! Woman! Woman!” in the manner of the superstitious chant “Bloody Mary! Bloody Mary! Bloody Mary!”.

well if the word “woman” doesn’t belong to women, Julie, it sure as hell doesn’t belong to you! Julie is so arrogant they think they get to decide who owns the word woman?

The word cup doesn't belong to you either.

Society decrees its meaning when I've told them what to decree, and society = my mum, my Twitter followers and Judith Chalmers and the dinosaurs were using it to mean small wet hedgehog long before you tiny group of witches were trying to pretend you were drinking out of one.

So ner.

@ScrimshawTheSecond Bibbity Bobbity Woo-man?

if you ask most people today whether transwomen are women, the most common answer will not be 'yes' , it will not be 'no', it will be 'what? '

Wonder Woman spin, T0tallyFuckedUpFamily?

Except, ahem, Wonder Woman is clearly female in both personas....

The whole concept of 'shared meaning' kind of escapes these people doesn't it?

There's no reciprocation in their world. No actual people, with independent minds who have their own thoughts and ideas and take an active part in communication: just units to be directed. They Tell You and You Do. Or rage if you don't. (Which is supposed I think to be some kind of punishment.)

We must all share now, Michelle or be big fat meanies.

No, I won't. Woman has a meaning, and it isn't "male." End of.

Seriously, who cares what this person thinks?

Btw Michelle I wish I'd thought of your NN first Love it.

Seriously they believe all this stuff. Do they ever talk to people in the real world doing normal stuff.

Is....is Julie dressed as Alice in Wonderland??

Oh god.

I can't find the tweet, want to read the responses
