@Fimofriend

How very interesting. So many posts calling a non-binary person by her biological pronoun and not sn erased post in sight, but uf someone calls a transwoman by the male pronoun, the post is erased and you get a stern warning. Funny that. One might be tempted to conclude that the MN moderators are ... what ? Can't possibly misogynistic, can they?
So true.

Excellent point!

Could we all agree to assign one?

What a tedious, obnoxious and odious woman.

27 years old, responsible for a child, and this is the fad she decides to embrace?

She needs real struggles to overcome (happy to provide some) and honest, no-nonsense people around her to tell her she is full of shit.

This is exactly what's lacking in all of these emperor's new clothes movements. They're buoyed up by the other acolytes, and anyone who can see the bullshit for what it is is (rightly) wary of the repercussions of saying so.
It's all a bloody house of cards.

Am I missing something here? Surely the word this person is searching for is the non binary term “parent”?

"Parent" doesn't satisfy her. Nothing will, except attention for being extraordinary. "And yet… mother is inherently gendered. It is female, and I am not. I am not a mother. I am a parent. Does that mean I no longer belong? Technically, it should. Because if I am not a mother, why should I take up space in a mother-only space?"

Does she seriously imagine she'll find a "space" filled with similarly deluded individuals? Female parents, who are adamant they're not mothers?? Confused

forsucksfake · 14/09/2020 14:49

Female parents, who are adamant they're not mothers??

Well, at least for now she is not insisting she is the father.

Small mercies.

But seriously, I will never forgive or understand the authority figures who indulge this and force it on the sane amongst us.

Poor kids. They'll be on here in 20 years time asking how to go non-contact.

littlefireseverywhere · 14/09/2020 15:04

You know well done her / them for deciding that’s they’re not female. I applaud the right to choose your gender as you see fit. However it totally falls short when she says she loved being pregnant & giving birth. By biology she’s the child’s mother. Totally flawed argument, you can’t identify as gender binary when you’ve just given birth. You’re surfing female/ mother. God, totally annoying.

Sorry, I'll get me coat!

DreadPirateLuna · 14/09/2020 19:31

Much like womanhood, the only clear defining element is that you stand up proud and declare to the world “I am a mother”.

Umm, what now? If a childless woman declared herself to be a mother, most people would wonder if she was joking, or delusional, or expressing a wish, or using the word in a metaphorical sense (e.g. caring for pets). They certainly wouldn't accept that she was literally a mother just because she said so.

Or maybe they would, maybe that's how the world works these days.

AllWashedOut · 14/09/2020 19:49

I'm probably arsey about other stuff, but reading this thread through again has rather pissed me off. What the hell is wrong with the word mother? Where is the shame? Where does the desire come to slough away this most basic of biological drives - to become a mother? And become what exactly?

SunsetBeetch · 14/09/2020 19:56

@TheMarzipanDildo

It’s “I’m not like other girls” except this women is 27 and should therefore be long past that phase.
Yup.
