Reuben adds: “I found it frustrating that people didn’t just ask my gender or not use it. I look like a man, have a beard.

Maybe the “giving birth” part rendered it pointless?

The Mirror knows exactly what it’s doing here

YY, Freda. This is a fantastic article! It’s achieved more than all the WPUK meetings put together — thought that’s not to say those meetings aren’t important.

The tide has well and truly turned. The media’s got the long knives out now. This article makes the movement looks absurd and just flays the narcissism involved: going so far as to call this birth a miracle! A few days after Christmas! That really sticks the shiv in.

Bravo to the Mirror for such subtle slicing and dicing.

All you lot who are getting worked up about this, saying that Rube here can't be living as a man because of giving birth etc etc, you've just got to identify out of your confusion and it will all make sense to you.

Your problem is that you're old fuddy-duddies who insist that words have meaning, that they should have the same meanings for everyone. You just don't understand this modern world - this postmodern world - where words mean whatever a person wants them to mean, and persons can identify with, as, into or out of anything they want. Saying that a man can give birth is no different to calling egg-and-chips 'tea' in Yorkshire and 'supper' in London.

The freedom to pretend that sexism disappears if you can pretend that sex doesn’t exist.

He’s clearly not transitioned if he’s had no surgery and gave birth🙄🙄 He's a woman who lives as a man and the sperm donor is a man who lives as a woman, no transition, no surgery ffs it’s madness.

There is a headline in the Guardian lifestyle today saying The Family in 2050: artificial wombs, robot carers and the rise of the single father by choice

You couldn't make the erasure of women more clear.

Almost all trans people don’t have surgery, this thing of transitioning having surgery as an end point is no longer true at all, the vast majority of male trans people keep their penises for instance.

@SirVixofVixHall
The few I know have had surgery and tbf I think it’s inaccurate to claim to be a man when in fact ‘he’s’ completely biologically a woman, he has the appearance of a man that is all.

I think that some people use transgenderism as a lifestyle choice to put on and take off when it suits them.

Thinkingabout1t · 04/01/2020 14:15

“ Yes well done you are both very special snowflakes 🙄🙄🙄🙄 I mean ffs - woman gives birth to a baby using sperm from a man, everything else is just word salad nonsense.”

Exactly, and I’m sad that the Mirror, a paper i like, has fallen for this nonsense.

In totally the opposite direction where we need to be going as a planet. We need to begetting closer to nature and respecting its rhythms, not further removed via technology. One of the big contradictions of woke'ism. Being ecologically minded/Green and fantasising about robot futures are in direct contradiction.

Neo liberalism's logical end point, I suppose. All life commodified and tailored to your individual peccadilloes.
