Transwoman complaining that Finance Sector is too male...

[Pluvia]

Reece Tomlinson doesn't seem to have noticed the irony of a white man complaining that the banking-investment sector is too full of.... white men.

Reece has 'stepped into the truth' that has been quite apparent to all women since time began.

I wish we had more women represented in the rentier class economy that produces nothing and sucks the life out of everything else.

[PatatiPatatras]

I'm wondering if he wishes there were more women or transwomen...

"she said she hopes her profile will encourage more trans people into the finance industry."

[Signalbox]

He’s just trolling at this point. He’s probably desperate for someone to roll their eyes so he can report them for a hate crime or sue them for discrimination.

The founder of Britain’s first transgender-led investment firm has said the finance industry remains dominated by “old white men”

oh, the irony.

Thank goodness for men and their mansplaining - where would we be without them explaining things to us what we already know.

I suspect he’s hoping for a bit of publicity in advance of the launch of his UK investment firm. If he’s hoping for more trans people how’s he going to monitor that - will self ID be enough to land someone a job or will they have to physically pass? He could find himself discriminating there if the latter.

Well if he'd fuck off out of it they'd be one less white male n the fiancé sector.

At least they made a distinction between trans and women in the context that they were speaking

[Owlglasses]

This person's viewpoint sums up something I can't understand about how a person raised as a boy can identify as a woman. If you're raised as a girl then from birth the 'being a woman' seeps into you like you are a sponge. In everything that happens to you and is said to you (or unsaid) you are a girl. The fear of predatory men, the worry about being on public transport alone, the imagining the horror of rape, the need to be 'pretty or quiet or subservient, the seedy uncle, dolls and pink things, the keep your knees together and smile, the how to be a girl in the company of other girls and the how to be a girl in the company of boys. The casual sexism, prejudice, the cat calling when you're barely a teenager, the starting your periods when you are in a class of boys at school, the being treated second best at school/college/work/home. It becomes you for better or worse and is as much what it is to be a woman as having a vagina.

How do people raised as boys assimilate all that when they identify as a woman? And if they don't, then are they a woman?

I hope someone, perhaps someone who has been through this, can explain it to me.

[MrsDanversGlidesAgain]

Yeah, this. There are things a woman does without thinking - checking the safest carriage on the late night train, working out which exit to use, what's the quickest and safest way home - because of being a woman. They're ingrained in us. Some bloke prancing around in 'today I'm a woman' cosplay isn't going to be aware of that because simply, he hasn't had to be.

[Rightsraptor]

Ah, I see Tomlinson is Canadian. A lot has become clearer.

And what is 'stepping into my truth'? I've stepped into lots of things, mostly unpleasant, but never my truth.

'My truth' 🙄

Transwomen need enough women in the office to validate their woman-ness. There’s little trans joy to be had in going to the loo with a load of other transwomen - otherwise 3rd spaces would have been an acceptable compromise

[Pixiedust1234]

Is that a picture of him womaning or pre transition? It's so hard to tell nowadays 😶

[ResisterRex]

"Leaning into my truth"



Meanwhile the actual truth is, you've done nothing to make it less male or pale. Still, it's all sunlight.

[dropthevipers]

Er, is it some kind of entry requirement that to become a TRA you must be thick as shit?

A trans woman wrote about going out at midnight, alone, in a city, for a lovely moonlight run....
