OK MNHQ: How about 'Things some women are concerned about'

[pombear]

Let's try again, then, in the spirit, and all that.

So at the start of 2020 let's remember our [edited] 'things that some women may be concerned about' from the end of the last decade and hope that this will be the year that everyone sees through the madness.

As per previous poster, on the thread that must not be named, due to 'high mountains and stuff' , sympathy is for transsexuals, and confused teenage girls who want to be boys, and gender non-confirming children. I wish them, as I do for everyone a safe existence and a right to be who they are. Whilst also retaining women's rights, freedom of speech, and protecting children. How can these things be framed as 'anti trans'?

Just popping in to say I wasn't the original OP of the thread that got deleted and to that OP, I hope you don't mind I reposted your post with the edits so quickly.

I'd also c & ped like OhHolyJesus once it was clear it was going, and was just fed up of seeing things deleted for reasons that make little sense, so flung it right back out there, without being able to name check you!

I thought it was a good summary and deserved reposting. And, as others have added, there are so many other things that could be added to that list.

Including, today, sadly the fact that an academic/lawyer found it reasonable to conflate women with mastectomies with men with penises into the same definition of 'non-normative women's bodies'. And none in the Scottish Government went, 'hang on, that's a bit shit'.

Standing with all those women today who have found this offensive, upsetting and hurtful. A new low.

A momentary derail...An anecdote for the opening meeting declarations.

Not my school but as the intro to PTA meeting for a fundraiser bake sale the HT announced that she has gender questioning relatives. I think it was in reference to men being able to bake too but it was oddest opening line I've ever heard.

The world is full of men who bake for a living. How did we get to this point?

This will also be deleted.
Women (or at least the cunty xx sort) are not allowed free speech incase it offends men.

Is Mr Kipling trans or on binary then? And Paul Hollywood?

I think you'll find it's Mx Kipling

Plus his choice of pink for the French fancy means he must be a woman ...

I worry about the effects of testosterone on my niece, who is transitioning.

wrongsideofhistorymyarse. You must be so worried.

I’m worried that women who see safeguarding risks are branded as bigots.

And I’m really pissed off at having my identity hacked.

That list pombear. And it's just the tip of the iceberg.

Whenever these issues are collected, it's always so fucking mind blowing.

Thank you OP for posting this list. Nothing to add but my support.

Oh yes I do have something to add - the other day my elderly MIL asked me what 'woke' meant as she kept seeing it in the newspaper (she reads the Telegraph). I was glad to explain it to her, with some examples of the type in the OP.

Goose “ I've mentioned before on here that in my country we are now expected to make declarations about being on unceded lands before all kinds of meetings, events, etc.”

Wow. I’d be interested to hear more about that but of course I understand you might not want to share.
