Definitely. I'm a cunt & sos my wife.

I have one and so has my wife.

Ihopeyourcakeisshit · 15/06/2020 17:21

Absolute cunts Indeed we are.
Jealous?

OvaHere · 15/06/2020 17:21

@FloralBunting

Cunts in ALL CAPS too. Madame, with this high tantrum, you're really spoiling us.
Do we have a Ferrero Roche emoji? We really should have one for moment like this Grin
Beerincomechampagnetastes · 15/06/2020 17:21

Why are we all allowed to say cunt but we can’t talk about cock????

Just asking..

FTMF30 · 15/06/2020 17:21

@nauticant I think that's actually true. I ended up down a rabbit hole once after fact checking an arguement about Dennis Rodman. Anyway, I ended up watching a documentary, I think on YouTube, about Marsha P Johnson. I ended up watching the whole thing. I think she was a pioneer for trans rights.

LastRoloIsMine · 15/06/2020 17:22

It was asked on here.

Well I would think it was deleted then which is good.

Datun · 15/06/2020 17:23

This is gender ideology to a T, isn't it?

Male privilege coming smack up against the complete destruction of their fondly held idea that women are subservient.

We're not doing What we're told, and we don't need the fainting couch when someone says cunt. Or cock for that matter.

FloralBunting · 15/06/2020 17:23

Beer we can't discuss someone's genitals. I think that's a fair rule, tbh.

But I DEMAND you all acknowledge my ravishing beauty.

AvaMonroe · 15/06/2020 17:23

Thank heavens the majority of society doesn't think like this, You can kid yourself and believe they do but you'd only have to post half the shite that has been posted here on social media and you'd have your ass handed to you, The attempts at throwing shade I really have to laugh.

PurpleCrowbarWhereIsLangCleg · 15/06/2020 17:23

So, cocks erased but cunts allowed to stay?

Job's a good 'un.

VickyEadieofThigh · 15/06/2020 17:23

In any case, we have no control over who wanders on to Mumsnet and starts flinging anatomy-related insults at people or asking them about their anatomy.

Have we?

Datun · 15/06/2020 17:24

I have one and so has my wife.

Haha!!

titchy · 15/06/2020 17:24

It was me that asked. And yes it was wrong and it has been deleted. Quite happy about that it was a flippant comment.

But in all seriousness most TW don't have genital surgery, and the reason Ava hasn't been challenged in the ladies is that most women know that and are too fucking scared to challenge TW in their spaces. Having endured a lifetime of assault at the hands of those born male they know the risks are too high.

Michelleoftheresistance · 15/06/2020 17:24

And nobody's doing the proper Special Guest etiquette either.

Mass fail of female socialisation and stereotyping here girls, it's shocking. However never mind, I still have my spot welding to do while I read this thread.

FloralBunting · 15/06/2020 17:25

Dammit, I'm gorgeous. Cunt and all.

DickKerrLadies · 15/06/2020 17:25

YY I've heard lots of TW say that "no-one has ever said anything" and I think I'm not fucking surprised, because I certainly wouldn't feel comfortable or confident enough to say anything.

And it really pisses me off that my scared silence would be taken as validation.

LastRoloIsMine · 15/06/2020 17:27

Ava the majority of Joe public know what sex means and they know it cannot be changed. The problem you have is social media is just an echo chamber. Like minded people surrounding themselves with other like minded people.

You may think that the world agrees with you but the truth is they don't you just don't go far enough outside your bubble to notice.

Datun · 15/06/2020 17:27

It is relevant whether or not someone has genital surgery.

And it might be interesting to see whether Liz Truss makes a distinction.

Then we can really ask everybody. 😱

Do you really think transgender people stick out like a sore thumb? Do you not think that maybe a lot, not all nor does it matter but a lot just blend in?
Michelleoftheresistance · 15/06/2020 17:27

Think like what?

That female people should have rights?

That there are issues that biological females will have as a result of losing single sex spaces that cannot just be brushed aside and females told they don't matter enough when male people have need?

That biological sex is a reality and something female people have to be able to talk about, identify and organise around to meet their own needs no matter how distressing it may be to male people?

You're throwing a lot of anger around but nothing practical, stop shouting and try talking.

Indeed so. And having witnessed on here and on Twitter the violent rage of some people - I would back out at a rate of knots.

Deltoids1 · 15/06/2020 17:27

Wow, this has gone the usual way, hasn't it.

I'm sorry to break it to you Ava but in real life everyone I know knows the difference between a woman and a transwomen and they too are just as appaulled by self-id by anyone on the Feminist boards of MN.
JK Rowling speaking out about sex has embolded so many people to start conversations in real life with me about this, many were too scared to do so previously. So I'll have to hand the ass back to someone else I'm afriad.

This whole gender movement isn't big on the concept of consent.
SarahTancredi · 15/06/2020 17:27

You keep believing that. I dont call protected little groups defended with block lists on social media particularly representative. Step out of the bubble and you will see that no one actually believes it.

I actually almost feel sorry for alot of them. I think they are being used by their followers . Wound up and convinced everything they say is right by people who think it's funny to do that to someone. No wonder when reality bites it's such a shock.
