Well I'm convinced after that hair flick.

Whew, that was a close shave. Which reminds me, five o’clock shadow starting to encroach on my lipstick, gotta pop into the ladeez powder room ….

I'm as GC as they come, but gosh, that Onion article really did make me question my views....

Floisme · 04/03/2023 13:31

I'm GC as they come but transwomen have been using women's spaces for decades and you've obviously never noticed, otherwise you'd have said.

I’m as GC as they come, but why are y’all so dipshit about TWs in prison? Like you think all TWs are criminals when really they’re victimised more than anyone else ever anywhere. Also, you make out like it’s because you care about these cis women in prison, when in fact you’ve never said anything about how they get sexually assaulted in the criminal justice system anyway, and btw lesbians in prisons commit most sex offences, but that doesn’t bother you one little bit does it?

I'm as GC as they come but as I am comfortable being naked with my husband and having sex with him, all women should be happy to do the same. Anyone who disagrees is a hateful bigot and I can't understand why anyone would not feel happy stripping off in front of any random male they don't know

I'm as GC as they come but as the birthing parent of an out and proud demisexual, pan romantic, Omni gender 12 year old who just wants to be accepted as xcey are, I am shocked and disturbed at the bigotry shown on this thread.

Seriously, I thought the bigotry of other opinions had died out with Section 28, but apparently there's lots of people (and cervix havers on a website for birthing vessels no less!!) who'd seriously stop my sweet, enthusiastic little person of ever evolving gender being able to do whatever pjey want.

I'm just so upset, what kind of world is fze going to grow up in if people still won't capitulate to bvir every demand 😪😪😪.
I've reported this thread. You need to be ashamed of yourselves. And have a word with yourselves. And educate yourselves. 😡

Totally agree, this lot are an echo chamber of witches.

I'm as GC as they come and I think RMW has earned the respect of women everywhere, and especially on this board, to be called she.

Boiledbeetle · 04/03/2023 15:10

I hate myself right now.

I don't know! How could I?. I feel all peculiar.

WomensLandArmy · 04/03/2023 15:27

Am I allowed to call people twits on this thread then? (and I AM as GC as they come).

Wow. That's taking it too far.

Sazzasez · 04/03/2023 15:55

I’m as GC as they come but isn’t it time we acknowledged that brilliant and brave transwomen of colour like Queen Hatshepsut and, er, Joan of Arc and, and Queen Charlotte won us ALL the rights we now enjoy as women or as queer folx and somehow forgot to win any for themselves, though they’ve always had them really until hate groups like MumsNet took them away.

Floisme · 04/03/2023 15:56

I'm GC as they come but I'm interested in other feminist issues too - why is it that you never seem to talk about anything else on this Sex and Gender board?

HairyPooter · 04/03/2023 16:05

I'm GC as they come. I'm even in that Actual Gender Critical Group but you lot that support that right wing KJK are a bunch of fascists just like her. You say you are all left leaning and have supported Labour in the past but you and KJK are cosying up to the Proud Boys.

NeighbourhoodWatchPotholeDivision · 04/03/2023 21:36

I'm as GC as they come, but have you considered that your our views may lead to abortion being banned?

Only transwomen stand between you us losing abortion rights.

This discussion has slightly been done to death but I agree to an extent that "I do think the idea (that we can't tell) deserves to be mocked. In fact I think one reason why we're in this mess (and I posted this on the thread) is arguably that we didn't mock the idea early enough or loudly enough and now it's gained traction."

I think replace 'mock' with 'point out that it is factually incorrect' is probably more successful because the very hard-of-thinking (and there are many. Far more than you could ever imagine) pretend that it is appearances being mocked, not the idea. So yes, we have to put the work in to separate that but there really isn't much sensible discussion to be had otherwise. AND I think we have to be careful not to create another atmosphere where jeering at what people looks like in general becomes common, because that is usually used to make women feel awful about themselves or question their right to say something. (Just thinking about that senior police officer in her dress. How tf did that even become anything anyone commented on?)

"It's ill thought out and appeals to the lowest common denominator. It's not trying to engage in a wider more nuanced debate on this, although it may lead to others doing so. It appeals to a certain section of the population who don't want those type of discussions." I agree, and I think the people for whom that matters probably aren't going to change their thinking anyway.

Also, I still disagree that we know for a fact that we can always tell someone's sex, because we only can tell the ones we CAN tell! I am sure that the number of people we can't tell their sex is very very low. But I for one have encountered such a person (on TV) - I think it's more common with female people than male.

But posting stuff like this on another thread led to me getting yelled out and lied about, so frankly I can't really be arsed getting into it again, so apologies for anything you don't agree with, and as always - [disclosure for those who think someone's appearance changes the validity of their argument - my hair is a right mess and I'm wearing awful novelty socks)

Or - as my sainted aunt used to say - all we HAVE to do is eat, sleep and shit.

Oh, and I'm as GC as they come but (KJK reference) if you retweet a parody account named Himmler that def proves you're a NAZI.

Boiledbeetle · 05/03/2023 20:33

I'm as GC as they come but I really think we should all shut up now and let a man real woman come and explain it all to us. They understand woman the best after all as they've had to work so much harder at it.
