is mumsnet a safe space for me?

[rexrabbit]

would you say mumsnet these days is a safe space for a non-transphobic lesbian with children to hang out?

In most groups, after a male has successfully approached a female and mounted her, he inserts his left pedipalp into the left opening of her genital structure and the right pedipalp into the right opening. In some primitive spiders (e.g., haplogynes, mygalomorphs) and a few others, the male inserts both pedipalps simultaneously into the female’s genital slit.

I'd ask why spiders and other crustaceans need the redundancy of two inseminating parts, but if they're going to have them in such a vulnerable position on their faces, they definitely need two.

I'm presuming that if a male spider has an injury and damages one pedipalp, he can still reproduce with a female?

This is an incredibly safe space. I can be completely honest and say men are men safe in the knowledge that saying the truth is fine.
Men in dresses are men
Men in lipstick are men
Men who say they are women are men.

So, calling a male spider a dickface isn't an insult, just a statement of fact 🤔

I know - it’s shameful how ungeniusish I actually am. I just identify as a genius.

Genital structure

definitely going start using that term, too.

Maybe you're a genius compared to other wolefs?

I tried the dragon name generator, it's rubbish, silly questions.

I have arachnophobia, so I feel that on this thread we have proven beyond all doubt that Mumsnet is not a safe space for me. Dunno about the OP

Argh! You're talking about spiders... what are you thinking?!

Much better off with dragons.

I'm sorry to be the one to inform you, but loads of 'dinosaurs' aren't actually dinosaurs. Pterosaurs, ankylosaurs, ichthyosaurs, pleiosaurs...

It's mainly to do with the hips, and angle of the femur (appropriately for this board).

I was busy muttering the same things as I read those posts!

Tell me you said “not a monkey” when people talk about the Robbie Williams movie and I’ll marry you right now.

There does seem to be a fair amount of transphobia on Mumsnet, especially in the feminism chat, but as someone from the gay community, I haven't seen any homophobia.

I seem to remember there's also something vital about the evolution of the ankle bone in dinosaurs v not-dinosaurs, but am not diving down that rabbit hole at this time of night.

Wait! Ankylosaurs aren't dinosaurs!?

Nooooooooooooooo!

Bird hips v lizard hips iirc. I can ask my eldest, what she knows about the feet of sauropods.

Although she might not have got as high as the ankle.

Never mind the hips. The most truthful part of the skeleton.

There will be people here who think, feel, believe differently to you.

That's allowed.

Breaking talk guidelines isn't.

I too am Drogon. It is a bit bland, isn't it?

Yeah it's not, it's just a place where we don't believe the fundamental difference between men and women is how we think, because it's a Feminist board and that type of bollocks about men and women having different minds suited to different things is sexist clap trap that was and still is used to dismiss and marginalise women.

But even if it was, that still doesn't really make sense, because you are basically saying the OP chose to ask her wide eyed question in a place she alread had preconceptions about, and was only pretending to ask a general MN question, and I'm sure you couldn't have really meant to suggest she's just another bad faith goady poster, could you?

Define 'transphobic'? And is there any need to use Gender Ideology cult-like terms such as 'cis' 'het'?

I’d post the Tyler the Creator tweet about just closing your eyes to prevent cyber bullying but I can’t be arsed to find a screen shot so here’s the Leave Britney Alone chap instead:

Define 'transphobic'? Does it mean rape survivors who need female only single sex spaces?

Lots of lesbian mothers here on MN. And if you see any transphobia, do report it.

@Onlyvisiting Would you say rape survivors who need female only single sex spaces is 'bigotry'? Really? What hard won womens rights are 'bigotry' and what aren't, in your world?

Mumsnet is a big place.
Hang out in the Chat, AIBU , Telly Stuff and Holiday boards. That kind of thing.
Why ask in here though? "Non transphobic"you're asking in the wrong place, although maybe that was deliberate?
If not, as you were and welcome to MN as it's open to everyone
