Dude's got a hairier chest than me...

The mod is ideologically captures, so yes, very serious article.

Zodfa · 23/01/2024 09:58

Do you think he gets a lot of modelling work?

IcakethereforeIam · 23/01/2024 10:02

Perhaps bricklaying.

From the article:
It’s always going to be more difficult for me and others [trans athletes], I think. Maybe that’ll change as I physically transition and can blend in, which I’m in the process of. I’m quite visibly trans. I still have masculine features. So [in the future] that might make me feel more comfortable, knowing that I’m not as visibly trans.

Isn't it a bit transphobic to say 'visibly trans'? I would say he just looks visibly male! I almost feel sorry for some of these people being fed the lie that they'll magically transition and pass as the opposite sex. I don't think he believes it but some younger ones do seem to.

He thinks he's going to 'blend in'?

Bless him.

Emil is a male name in all languages I know which are quite a few. Obvs don't want to restrict someone's freedom of expression but what exactly is making this person a woman?

Womanly feelz, innit.

And a liking for ladies underwear, judging by his Twitter bio.

That trans golfer I mentioned upthread, a thread's been started (not by me) in AIBU

https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/4991311-man-wins-womens-golf-tournament-and-is-now-worried-about-his-safety-interviewed-by-gmb

Wonder if it'll be moved to FWR?

Worse. It just got deleted. Fucking hell.

Shewon.org is collecting all these incidences of sports events stolen from women. I'll send these over there and encourage everyone that if they know of such a time when a man takes a sports win or other award by stealing it from a woman by using his identity, go report it. We can't let them steal our freedom of speech either.

OP posts:

Just seen it was deleted. Apparently it was taken down as they need to contact the OP.

Why? It's not like the OP was incorrect about anything.

MrsOvertonsWindow · 23/01/2024 16:13

That thread was very illuminating with (last time I looked ) a 94% vs 6% in favour of the OP's outrage at what is happening to women's sport .
Posters were massively supportive and the exasperation that's so often expressed on here about all this was there in bucketloads. Can't imagine why the OP needed to be spoken to 🤔

I think at this point the press are just shit stirring. I’ve noticed how they will always use the worse possible photo to put with the most ridiculous headline.

I agree. They’re trying to peak people.

IcakethereforeIam · 23/01/2024 16:21

Perhaps it'll be reinstated after the OP has been contacted 'off the boards'.

They rarely are.

OvaHere · 23/01/2024 17:01

And if it is it will end up in here sans the poll.

It’s back with an edited title.

And still on AIBU.

Surprising. Is the edit obscuring something?

Ah yes I see it is.

MrsOvertonsWindow · 23/01/2024 19:26

No explanation about why it was removed from view 🙄. I've posted on it in the hope that others will see it. It had some excellent posts.

SabrinaThwaite · 23/01/2024 19:27

The gaslighting comment I think?

TBF, I can live with an edited title if it stays up in AIBU.

I imagine it was to make the OP choose between editing the word man from the title or have it stay deleted.

Which is a rather good example of what is being discussed on the thread.

SabrinaThwaite · 23/01/2024 19:42

Ah, OK, was that it.

<Sigh>

We can’t even use our own words to describe ourselves any more.
