Hope this link works but I was browsing the 'tinternet musing whether to buy myself a " woman, adult human female" item and I found this! Confused

Can't say I'm surprised.
There should be a counterpoint t-shirt.
You know, one that points out the obvious: adult human .... what's the word I'm looking for....

RightsHoardingRaptor · 09/10/2021 22:11

Jesus look at this one too!

I wasn't expecting this!

And yet all the models do not appear to be trans women Hmm

Piapiano · 09/10/2021 22:18

Men just want to steal everything that belongs to women. Even our words.

NewlyGranny · 09/10/2021 22:18

Only in slim fit?! E.g. tailored to a womanly outline. We aren't going to see many of them in the wild, I predict.

But a mint and bagged one with tags could be a great investment for when all this is a niche area of C21 history.

Just a thought.

CiaoForNiao · 09/10/2021 22:18

Ffs. But then I'm not surprised seeing how some TW have claimed to be cis women. Hmm

wheneveryousaymyname · 09/10/2021 22:26

It's Freud again. Claiming we are jealous of men's penises when really men are jealous of our amazing bodies.

Tale as old as time.

RainbowCrossing · 09/10/2021 22:37

I bet they are flying off the shelves.

Do you think they've actually even made one?

Whatsnewpussyhat · 10/10/2021 00:25

But surely an adult human trans female is a transman because no adult male can ever become female.

NiceGerbil · 10/10/2021 03:27

Even with the tiny bits visible that aren't under sweatshirts I would put money on both the models being female.

Mind you I think the target audience is mainly female allies?

I mean nabbing slogans words ideas etc from other groups is standard with this

Made me think of 'some people are gay get over it' campaign.

NiceGerbil · 10/10/2021 03:30

Important to note female.

Not just women.

Female has been targeted for s while now and IMO is going and fast.

That leaves the entire female population of the planet with no words. (Here anyway).

Re: the photos, spreadshirt is a t shirt printing company and they will just provide stock images, so I wouldn’t read anything into the appearance of the model.

terfinginthevoid · 10/10/2021 08:38

I’m not at all surprised. It’s why it’s pointless conceding the use of the word ‘woman’ as a ‘gender’, as a compromise. The aim is to not allow ANY word to describe the half of the human race of the sex class that produces large gametes and gestates young.
Because any word we use for ourselves excludes men.

NewlyGranny · 10/10/2021 08:47

I'm not sure a woman who's an ally would be comfortable wearing one in case it's assumed she has transitioned herself.

Gold star for anyone who spots one in wear, though!

Artichokeleaves · 10/10/2021 08:49

Time I think to design a sweatshirt in suffragette colours with the motif: Now you're just being silly.

Cwenthryth · 10/10/2021 08:52

Fionne Orlander, a lovely GC ally transwoman on Twitter, was put in Twitter jail for posting a selfie wearing a “transwoman: adult human male” t shirt.

Artichokeleaves · 10/10/2021 08:58

It translates as: an adult human male is an adult human female.

ONLY an adult human male can be a TW.

Are we just now supposed to abandon any grip on actual facts or words having meaning and making stuff up? Or shall we be honest that if we've reached this state then for some this is now solely about grabbing everything off female humans and ensuring they have nothing? Which is adult human misogyny on crack. And nothing to do with rights or equality or inclusion or anything else justifiable at all.

Beamur · 10/10/2021 08:59

Unsurprising.
This is why we just have to keep using and insisting on our words. Which have understood meaning and context.
If transwomen only want to describe themselves with our words I think that's a shame really. We're not the same, and linguistic colonisation won't change that.

ArtemesiaK · 10/10/2021 10:06

The reviews are for the T-shirts over the whole range, so although it looks as if they've sold a lot, they probably haven't ( though there may be a spike now they've been featured here. Cheesy and Margarita might like one :) )

I think that's getting clearer by the day.

5zeds · 10/10/2021 10:14

Seems a bit of a home goal to me. If you believed a trans woman was a kind of woman then trans woman would be an adjective + a noun.

appleturnovers · 10/10/2021 12:05

So all women are transwomen... interesting. Does that mean we all get a say on trans issues then?

Jaxhog · 10/10/2021 12:09

I'd buy it!

@TutiFrutti

I don’t see the issue atall
To be it’s about inadequate gender provision
