That was definitely a correction. The tone and slightly snarky (quite rightly) head tilt and slight eye roll. Good for her.

Martine’s actually a friend of mine; I showed her the thread- she wanted to reassure you that she’s not facing any kind of reprimand.

Oh good! I was genuinely worried.

A personal audience with Heather demanding whether you are going to allow Heather to use your toilet would certainly bring the issue into clear focus.

Especially given Heather's publically shared photographs of Heather dilating on the floor of a toilet.

I googled Peter Lloyd because I didn't have the faintest clue who he was. Looks like he keeps delightful company...

That's very good to know. She's a woman not afraid. I'm now 'following' her.

Peter Lloyd has written a book, Stand By Your Manhood.

The Amazon reviews are interesting. One reviewer describes it as containing rather a lot of ‘anti-feminist vitriol’.

It seems he feels that feminism has dealt men a bad hand and they need to rise up and smash the matriarchy. Hence his X handle ‘Suffragent’.

I wish I hadn’t looked.

He makes Farage look like a liberal snowflake.

WarriorN · 23/06/2025 09:28

Yep

Stumbled across this fantastic speech by Graham Park Girl on Twitter, about the bbc and it’s reporting around men who think they’re women.

it’s a great speech; well worth a listen:

I completed mine as a 'positive feedback' option. 😂She's an absolute ledge.

She's made the Telegraph! https://www.telegraph.co.uk/gift/c2d65daca831898a 1482 comments, all seem supportive 😂what have we come to when newsreader-knows-what-woman is is news!

Bobbymoore123 · 23/06/2025 10:46

Well done everyone! Really scored one over on those insidiously powerful lobby that is pregnant trans-men!

catwithnocream · 23/06/2025 10:54

But if you go by the whole ‘trans women are women, trope then they shouldn’t have a problem with her correcting it either!

They’re still women. As clarified by the Supreme Court when it comes to their pregnancy and maternity rights.

HTH.

But they're still women. Everyone knows only women can get pregnant; to pretend otherwise is both stupid and pointless.

I always wonder why transmen want to get pregnant, and how calling them women can bring on dysphoria and should not be done, but carrying an actual baby and giving birth will not, and is seemingly fine.

Trans men do most definitely lack power. They are not pandered to and platformed to anything like the extent that TW are. Some accounts from detransitioners describe how they are exploited for sex by straight TW and other straight men (who know exactly what sex they prefer). As a TW you’ve been able to gain access to females in prisons, hospital wards, changing rooms etc, allowing predatory men to carry out attacks, flashing and other crimes, as well as being given women’s sports to exploit and gain from. But the only loophole where being a TM could give you an advantage, sexist primogeniture rules, has been closed PDQ.

However, even though “pregnant people” arises out of the belief that TM are men and that therefore men can be pregnant, it also serves to confuse, as people think of TW as men and that therefore it means TW (actual men) can be pregnant. It encourages the confusion in the NHS where actual males are treated as if they could be pregnant and it encourages the fetishization of female bodily processes by males, so you end up with males in breastfeeding groups and similar which destroys them for many women.

it is also downright rude and insulting to women. Only women, actual women, get pregnant. The fear of saying the word “woman” because a small group of women who choose to deny their womanhood might be offended, not giving a shit that huge numbers of women who are proud of their womanhood might be offended, is discriminatory. But more to the point it pisses women (and quite a few men) right off and when someone stands up to it publicly they’ll get a lot of support.

If trans men don’t like it, maybe they could lump it, since saying “pregnany woman” is in fact a reflection of reality? If they can’t face reality that’s their business but leave everyone else out of it. And BTW if you think you are “living as a man” while popping out babies you may have got the wrong end of the stick.
