Transmaxxing

[pattihews]

Article in Unherd by Mary Harrington about 'transmaxxing', a phenomenon in which young men transition because they can, not because they have dysphoria but in some vague hope of having sex with sympathetic women.

It's reminded me of Ollie London, who assumed that just because you can do something (in his case have surgery to make him look Korean) it's okay. No ideological awareness, no ethics, just a why not? kind of attitude.

Hilarious. Keep it going.

"It's miniscule"
"it's fake"

Somehow can tell irony on certain subjects in some sites, any other irony on MN is pulled to pieces and used to derail entire threads. How do people get through life? I just dont know. <<<<<<<irony

What happened to "acceptance without exception"? When women are told to accept all the male sex offenders who think they're women in our hospital wards, prison cells, showers etc then trans folx can accept all the undesirables in their spaces. Otherwise it's setting up a "sacred caste" and that would never do

I see it's all on women to "take a joke" and "lighten up", then.

How about no. We will not make excuses for mistreatment and denigration of women. We will not pretend it's not happening. We will not place your mental ease over women's safety and dignity.

Just to be be clear then - if I personally decide that someone is not being truthful when they say they are trans, or a woman, it's ok to act accordingly?

I wonder if ELO gets it yet?

It is pretty fucking obvious.

Oh ELO....poor poor ELO.

The penny will drop.

One day.

Oh.

You just exterminated them that is

literal violence!

funny peculiar

i’m definitely picking up this is older crowd here if this is meant to be humour: kind of an ‘embarrassing dad joke’ kinda vibe.

Ooh, ageist, much?

It never fails to surprise me how common it is among the genderists to hold non-gender-related protected characteristics in contempt.

Embarrassing MUM jokes i think you'll find thank you very muchly. DAD jokes! As if! We're way funnier

Yeah when they run out of arguments they shout "well....you're OLD" like they're telling us something we didn't know!

And your stupid women and Bigots has he got there yet I'd have to go back and check

You seem to have missed this eastlondonobserver

i’m definitely picking up this is older crowd

You're going to have to argue better, ELO. You're talking to women who've been called every name under the sun in our time and now we're Teflon. We're proud to be whatever age we are. We're proud to be rational and able to spot BS a mile off.

This is the truest thing ever.

The stereotype of my gender doesn't fit me so I reject it!
Yes because they are false, we should all reject gender stereotyping.

We're scared of and vulnerable to men so need to be included in women's only spaces.

Yes, we are vulnerable too. That's why you shouldn't be allowed in.

It's almost like there's too much to agree on.

Surely Terflon @pattihews 😁

Teflon — yes! 👏

😂

Ruddy autocorrect. Terflon. 👏

If it’s said ironically and accompanied by a ‘manifesto’ with ridiculous jokey cartoons in it, then yes you are.

Brilliant. I find irony everywhere!
(You've stated you think it's possible to lie about being trans - if saying you are doesn't make you so, what actually does? Are you another one who thinks it's all about appearance? )
