I did the same. Dietrich was my heroine! But I'm just a boring old heterosexual, married to a man, with a dd. No one in my household looks like they're transing, or is likely to. Poor old me eh? I expect the group I belong to, of "completely fucking boring" is actually the most marginalised and oppressed. Would that mean I am stunning and brave?

Seriously heterosexual women-mothers are utterly ignored and shat on by society who wants their unpaid labour and support. So yes you are the most oppressed.

I had a wonderful stylish boring hetero mother so I think you are all stunning and brave!

I rolled my eyes at the announcement but I am genuinely troubled that Knox says she is planning to medically transition. I don’t know whether she means surgery or ‘just’ hormones but either way- how could any medic think that a woman like Amanda, with a long history of mental illness and trauma would be a good candidate for unnecessary and potentially dangerous drugs and/or surgery?

Plus, Knox is more or less the same age as me, ie most likely perimenopausal. If ever there was a time not to further fuck up your hormones, it’s in this phase. I mean, good luck to her and I genuinely hope this all goes well for her but I just can’t see this as something which is going to help her at all.

If it goes wrong though, it’s just more attention-seeking fodder isn’t it? More opportunity to tell social media and write books about her terribly difficult journey so that everyone can tell her how brave she is. I see her as a little girl desperate for love and validation.

BabyStopCryin · 05/08/2023 12:08

She has changed her identity so many times. Doenst she even think ‘hang on, this may be just a fad?’

waterlego · 05/08/2023 12:14

Exactly @BabyStopCryin. She comes across as reasonably intelligent in a general sense, and talks a lot about her history of trauma, mental illness and therapy. People like this (especially if they’re women) often understand themselves really well. I don’t understand why she can’t see this pattern of behaviour that she is in. (Endless soul-searching and repeated announcements and comings-out)

I don't feel sorry for her. She's ridiculous

What's with the trend to feel sorry for people, when you know they're making bad decisions, have full agency not to, or certainly not to continue doing so, and who can walk a different path and do the right thing? For a change.

BabyStopCryin · 05/08/2023 15:48

I feel sorry for her kid/s.

It wasn’t that long ago that she was saying she’d always been a lesbian even if she hadn’t always realised she was. I wonder if she actually believes any of it (and just has a very unstable sense of identity) or is she just a massive charlatan?

Jellycats4life · 05/08/2023 17:02

Ha! Not in the least bit surprised. I knew this was coming. NB and then transmasc- it was obvious this is where she was heading.

Yep, obvious. I knew as soon as she “came out” as NB that she’d double down and end up getting her breasts cut off.

Feels like these endless big announcements are just narc fuel for her. And luckily for Amanda, she can get plenty more attention when it comes to announcing the detransition / polycule breaking up / marriage breaking up / you name it.

Signalbox · 05/08/2023 19:50

The next step must be that she becomes a gay man. She’ll leave her husband and start dating another woman who IDs as a man.

Or just a bloke, so she's back where she started. In a heterosexual relationship.

UtopiaPlanitia · 05/08/2023 20:33

I’m honestly confused because Amanda and spouse announced themselves to be ‘lesbians’ (happily so IIRC) and now, with this announcement, won’t they have to split up because it’s changed to a ‘heterosexual’ relationship??! 🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️ I can’t bend my mind around so much of this.

QueenHippolyta · 05/08/2023 21:07

At first felt quite sorry for her as someone with a traumatic past and mental health problems, but when I heard she transed her child, that was it. A child should be left alone...These poor children, my heart breaks for them.

Don't worry
They'll identify as 'pansexual' now

Covers all bases even though it'll be the same piv straight sex they've always had

lifeturnsonadime · 06/08/2023 12:38

I thought she was doing irony with tweets like this?

Is it serious then?

risefromyourgrave · 06/08/2023 12:46

She should change her name to Billy Bullshitter the amount of rubbish that comes out of her mouth.

SmartHome · 06/08/2023 13:02

The irony is she now looks more like a lesbian than she's ever looked before.

This all comes across as a massive cope for having a history of traum and then saldy being married to a lying, cheating, gas-lighting man who betrays you.

BabyStopCryin · 06/08/2023 14:24

I have lost track. So (A) she was straight and married a straight man, the man then declared himself a woman so she decided she was a lesbian, her kid (boy) was declared a girl, A then said she was non binary, child decided they were a buy after all, then A says she is a man because she wore a tie?

is that right?

SmartHome · 06/08/2023 14:36

I think near the beginning of that there was 'her straight husband started fucking around' and then at some point they declared it an 'open relationship' and they're now in some kind of polycule.

Redshoeblueshoe · 06/08/2023 14:50

Yes, but the polycule is 2 more men. I guess she does all the dishes, and sleeps in the spare room

SmartHome · 06/08/2023 14:54

Yep

I bet she ain't actually getting any

And how does all this fit with "kids know who they are" and "almost no one detransitions"?

HermioneWeasley · 06/08/2023 17:54

I don’t feel sorry for her - she’s doing huge harm. She’s ghoulish

BabyStopCryin · 06/08/2023 22:18

And old enough to know better. Her poor mum. Toddler-league attention seeking.

DuckDuckNo · 06/08/2023 17:40

Exactly! Children young enough to still believe in Santa absolutely have an innate gender identity that should be affirmed with puberty blockers, hormones and surgery immediately and we’re bigots for trying to prevent that, but it’s simultaneously fiiiiiiiine for an adult to go from straight woman to “lesbian” to “non-binary” to “transmasc” to full-blown transman.

Make it make sense.

howdoesatoastermaketoast · 07/08/2023 00:29

Being married to an agp man is easy and fun says woman who was by her own admission completely miserable.

My son and husband are women says woman who is sure she has nothing in common with them and therefore must be a man.

I don't know about a tie and a makeover but I do think she needs help. I just think the assertion that she's some kind of role model who has it all figured out sounds pretty preposterous.
