How many MNers will join me in applying for a GRC??

having read on another thread that it only costs £5 to apply for a GRC, how many MNers will join me in applying to ‘become’ a man?
one’s legal status as a mother will not change, and I’m sure we’ll all see a 20% uplift in our wages…
We might get turned down if the panel gets an inkling we might be insincere, but, for the sake of a fiver, we could swamp the application process…

good save, what with all the GRC issuing spies on here your new status was looking a bit wobbly there!

If the GRC issuing cabal are provoked into coming on here and having a read of the thread it will be, in a batshit kind of way, a dialogue. Once they've read it and imbibed the ideas, a seed may have been planted. In the fullness of time, when they've forgotten the source but remember the sense, perhaps it'll bear fruit.

And while I'm dreaming...

QueenDoria · 02/01/2025 19:10

Tbh I’m somewhat disappointed not to have had more pushback. (Ava had a bit of a try but tied his/her/themselves up in knots, bless.)

I would have liked to have more feisty dialogue about how I may NOT spend my fiver but no one has really given me a good reason yet.

Here, we can change our gender (birth certificate and all) only once per 12 months. Isn’t that discriminatory against “gender-fluid” people? I may have to sue… Here’s hoping they don’t get tipped off. 🍎🍏

So does this mean I’ll have to wait a WHOLE YEAR to be a certified transwoman? That’s literal violence, that is.

I mean, I feel oppressed in a speshul and youneek way, but I’m not in touch with my manly essence. I don’t think I have a biological womanly essence (post menopausal I’m missing some things) so I think I must be a transwoman. But I can’t get a GRC for that unless I have a birth certificate that says I’m a bloke, right? So if I get myself the option to get one of those I’m assuming that I can then get a second GRC that says I’m a woman. Only having been a bloke previously that must make me a transwoman, yes? Plus I’m already on HRT which shows my commitment to being a transwoman, right? I don’t think I’ll bother changing my original birth certificate though. Seems like a lot of effort when I’ll only end up with one saying the same thing 12 months later.

What say you Christ-in-Apple* and Angela Va?

*WTF is Christ doing in an apple? He’s meant to be in bread and wine, not the fruit associated with a sneaky serpent! 🙄

Whenever posters like AngelAva or Christinapple engage in these discussions, usually to accuse us of being hate-filled transphobic bigots, they seem to be missing one important piece of information:
that most of us here hold two basic beliefs: human sex is binary, male or female; and it's impossible to change sex. These beliefs are based on observable scientific fact, so it's easy to explain and defend them.

Any argument, campaign, law, institution, whatever, that champions the opposite - that there are many sexes, that men can become women and vice versa, that 'gender' is more significant than biological sex - just isn't believable.

If you do not believe the basic tenets of something, you are not going to support it, and if you further think that it is doing harm, you will resist it. One of the ways of resisting it is to point out its inconsistencies, sometimes using humour.
Other ways exist of course - GC women could go around pouring soup over trans rights activists, releasing insects at TRA meetings, breaking an occasional trans jaw with a punch, that sort of thing, but on here we tend towards using factual argument and lots of humour instead.

AngelAva and Christinapple don't like that, and interpret it as bigotry or hate or transphobia. But we're just highlighting, in a range of different ways including humour, the inconsistencies that - if you bring it back to basics - are at the heart of trans ideology, and everything that flows from it.

I’ve also noticed the Chris et al seem to scuttle off whenever they’re asked to explain how one lives as a woman. It’s a fundamental question that we need them to answer and yet the radio silence is deafening.

Brefugee · 03/01/2025 13:06

the thing is we have made it very easy for them to tell us how to live as a woman because we have described in detail how we live as men.

😂

Maybe Jeremy Vine could be our champion?

So by dint of the fact a bloke doesn’t have a power tool he’s living as one of us?!

Brefugee · 03/01/2025 14:12

it depends - does he wear trousers? does he have short hair?

SirChenjins · 03/01/2025 14:13

This is where it all gets very muddled…

Iheartmysmart · 03/01/2025 14:34

DS is back from uni and is sat beside me on the sofa wearing a hair band and sporting a rather smelly mud face mask. He wouldn’t have the faintest idea what to do with a power tool and has longer hair than me. Perhaps a remake of Freaky Friday with a twist….

I reported this thread to them so they are aware fraudulent applications may be made.

Non-female people had trousers but long hair in the 1970s.

What were they???

That would be my DF. He was a lorry driver.

My beautiful boyfriend and husband. I envied his beautiful, dark, flowing locks. My hair has mostly been short and mousy and crap He is quieter and gentler than me. We both love power tools. I wear comfy flat shoes and am tall and don't fit the required rules of femininity. He doesn't care. We have been together for 40 years or so. We have never been confused or required a GRC 😂

JessaWoo · 03/01/2025 23:46

I have The Rock (Dwayne Johnson) as my profile image on one of of my streaming platforms. Do you think I could use that as a new picture as I don't appreciate how I look in my passport photo?

JessaWoo · 03/01/2025 23:47

I'm sure no-one will really notice.

I didn't have power tools, so I was obviously a woman. Before that, I think I was a boy, because my DM had my hair cut short and boys weren't allowed power tools. By the time I married I'm pretty sure I was a male again, though I did do some of the cooking, even on occasion jointly with my DW (such a romantic couple) so perhaps I was just non-binary. Do I cease to be a man or a woman entirely when I'm too old to wield power tools like food mixers?

Talkinpeace · 04/01/2025 15:31

My husband bought me axle stands for Christmas one year
maybe we BOTH need GRCs
