dolor I thought they were just confused butch lesbians... ;)

Well you thought wrong.

@dolor

So they're recognised as trans men now they're useful to the GC agenda? I thought they were just confused butch lesbians... ;)
I don't think ftm transitioners are useful to the GC 'agenda' at all. They do great harm to women, actually, by going along with the idea that there are male and female 'identities' and that certain feelings or behaviours or whatever are naturally 'male'. Several detransitioners I have seen online have acknowledged the internalised misogyny that led them to transition in the first place.

However, it's good that ftm transitioners are shining a spotlight on the issue of AGP and speaking up against the negative aspects of transactivism.

I assumed dolor was agreeing with my post since they posted after it. So they obviously understand that regular posters on this board have always known that transmen are female.

I am sure that dolor would not be surprised to know that probably a few of us have interacted with some of the signatories over the past years. I mean, dolor, it is not as if you haven’t read the threads here discussing Buck and Scott right?

Strangely enough, we have some posters who have repeatedly denied Buck and Scott’s experiences and called them deletable slurs. And I don’t believe those posters are female, although they seem to not identify as men. I do wonder just why they seek to silence a group of females from discussing their transition reality though…Hmm

Is that what you think? No one else here thinks that.

Delighted to see this.

It's about time the transmen stood up for themselves.

RufustheBadgeringReindeer · 24/07/2021 16:44

Oh no…was the gotcha an epic fail

RandomMess · 24/07/2021 16:51

How long before they get called transphobic?

Very informative article.

CuriousaboutSamphire · 24/07/2021 17:31

And to think I got threatened with a ban for saying much the same thing! Transmen know they remain lesbian women with GD.

Maybe this time the ban hammer won't fall and we can discuss the differences in GD without fearing the monitors.

midgemagneto · 24/07/2021 17:40

I liked the way they recognised that for many females , the right support can help them avoid the need to transition, implicit that avoiding that if possible is a good thing , a recognition of the interplay with society /nurture in the transman experience

Well, some of them do. The ones who are identifying as gay men and getting pissed off that natal gay men aren't interested in them because they're female... not so much.
Delphinium20 · 24/07/2021 18:45

They laid out a very important distinction-homosexual gender dysphoria and AGP. I wonder Abigail Shrier's views on this. She didn't focus on AGP or males, as far as I know, but she did argue for better therapy for young women with ROGD, which sounds like these transmen want - a way for young homosexuals with GD to have better data and therapy so medical surgery and meds are not the only option. I am glad they spoke out. Not surprisingly, transmen know what it's like to have patriarchal men dominate and talk over you and they are just as sick of it as we are.

vivariumvivariumsvivaria · 24/07/2021 19:47

I do worry about the effect of testosterone on these young female bodies. Gender differences can't protect you against the loss of oestrogen and the subsequent increased risk of coronary heart disease, osteoporosis and dementia.

I can't understand why my desire for these people to live long, happy, healthy lives with solid evidence supporting their care is evidence of bigotry.

Buck Angel says that their treatment protocol was an experiment. That just isn't good enough, we must at least collect empirical evidence.

That's because a judge has said that your opinion about men with AGP is entirely legal, and should not be subject to censorship.

Censoring you for that opinion would be discriminatory, under the equality act. Something of which our monitors will be only too well aware.

I can't believe women actually had to go to court, to fucking court, to legitimise their opinion about an ideology.

SirVixofVixHall · 24/07/2021 19:53

@theThreeofWeevils

Children are being taught a false narrative in the media and in public schools, which is confusing them… in order to protect the egos, fantasies and capitalist desires of AGP males

This. In letters of fire.

Seconded.
Bosky · 24/07/2021 21:46

It is odd that they do not acknowledge the existence of straight transmen, ie. females who believe themselves to be gay men, and the role of autoandrophilia. The closest they get is a coy,

"Additional types of Gender Dysphoria have emerged since the 1980s when Dr Blanchard first studied and articulated these two primary types."

@RedDogsBeg

That's interesting, transmen's voices are so rarely heard (we all know why) it will be illuminating to see how this is received.
Unfortunately, in the UK, some transmen's voices have been all too audible.

Stephen Whittle was part of Press for Change whose campaigns resulted in the GRA and has continued to campaign for changes in the law which would harm women and girls.

James Morton of the Scottish Trans Alliance was involved in the Scottish Prisons Policy which deals with transgender prisoners. Morton is quoted as saying:

‘We strategized – we strategized – that by working intensively with the Scottish Prison Service to support them to include trans women as women on a self-declaration basis within very challenging circumstances, we would be able to ensure that all other public services should be able to do likewise’.

Aaron Kimberley interviewed today by Benjamin Boyce.

Trans activists have doxxed Aaron and are on the attack! Angry

It is rather more than "bullying". The familiar pattern of trying to destroy a person's livelihood:

"Bullying in the Trans Community | with Aaron Kimberly"

Oh I read it.

Not sure if quotes are working on the app properly, so if this appears without a quote, I dunno what I'm doing wrong.

I'm non binary with an ovarian system, btw. I'm sure many of you will enjoy telling me I don't exist or I'm delusional etc.

Pretty sure you exist seeing as you typed all that.

Barheim · 25/07/2021 00:20

Prominent? Lol. The only one who's prominent is Buck Angel, and he's universally loathed by the majority of trans people for outing one of the creators of the Matrix against her will, creating a pyramid scheme promising gender affirmation surgery that never delivered, shouting at a 20 year old worshipped by the only ones who may listen to "gender critical" people and being an all-round 'screw you got mine' asshole.

I don't know about the rest but I thought Buck Angel counselled against gender affirmation surgery, after Buck's own life changing problems with trans medical treatment??
