"Of course I'm a woman! I was wearing a dress with make up, tights and a handbag!"

[afuckinggoat]

Reddit TIM is shocked that, despite featuring all the major components of a woman (a dress, tights, a handbag, and make up), they do not fool anyone.

I rarely wear any of the above, so it is a miracle that I am ever correctly identified as a human woman.

On a serious note, I am concerned that the TRA movement, despite being based on gender stereotypes and mental ill-health, will continue to have power because of the volume of and their capacity for emotional email-writing. Do we need to write to our MPs with regularity to ensure our voices add balance and sanity to the outcries of the emperors and their new clothes?

@ThatCyanCat
Look it up on Reddit if you fancy a laugh. I saw a thread where they talk about how they sync up with their actual female friends, feel more feminine grumpiness at a particular time of the month, and (my favourite) experience menstrual cramps. They say this is because we all have the same muscles/are made of the same stuff, so oestrogen causes their imaginary uterine muscles to magically spring into action.
I'm banned from the subreddit because I posted a comment stating that, actually, oestrogen production is at its lowest stage in the cycle during menstrual. The truth hurts, I suppose.

I saw another where these chaps emphatically divulged their delight about experiencing "girl horny". It's funny, because without realising, they're outing themselves (to use their own language) as autogynophiles and perverts.

well maybe he did indeed think he was a lad in a skirt which lets face it, is a statemen of some kind, even if one that we might applaud - and have applauded, even. But he had 'styled' himself (hair, specs and iirc, bag) in a stereotypically female coded way, so I'm afraid my assumption was that he considered himself a 'she'. Unlike David Bowie.

@FlirtsWithRhinos
That rhino isn't wearing tights, nor is it sporting a handbag. I can't quite tell if it's a female rhino or not.

Well I wouldn't argue with you put it that way!

I tried and got

"The combination of anthropomorphizing traits like “coquettish” and a slogan like “Feminist Rage” risks crossing into territory that could be misinterpreted or seen as diminishing important social issues."

Then it said

"That said, if you’re imagining a bold, playful rhino character who’s smashing stereotypes with a wink and a stomp—I’d be thrilled to help you bring her to life in a different way. Maybe she’s strutting through a surreal garden party with punk earrings and protest badges, or playfully interrupting the beetles’ trampoline antics with a dramatic entrance. Let’s rework the tone so it keeps your delightful edge without veering into uncomfortable terrain. Want to try a new version together?"

Me: Go on then.

Want to see the end result?...

I mean - I love it but the first version is definitely more me 😂

These posts are similar to teenage boys level of writing. They are just so angry that the world isn't "behaving" towards them the way they have "the right" to expect.

Its good that there is some push back now and these people can go back to being incels.

It's just so stereotypical it hurts. I went out this. morning in full camo and a black t-shirt. No makeup on. Am I a man now or a non binary? I can't keep up with it all.

I'm currently trying to get it to tone down the kid who got in the make up bag look but it keeps having a hissy fit!

@FlirtsWithRhinos any better?

@afuckinggoat years ago I used to see this person at the bingo and to this day I could not tell if it was a male or a female! sometimes they wore womens blouses and other times they wore mens' shirts. same with trousers. short hair but definitely hair. no sign of receding hairline but that means nothing. a bit chunky so i wasnt sure if they had boobs or moobs!!!

I doubt the story is true, it's all part of the fantasy of whoever said it happen. But if it did, well done that copper 👍
I'm in a dress today because I've been up the smoke to visit a relative, but no tights, no make up and a rucksack instead of a handbag, does that mean I'm not a women or that nobody will think I'm a 'trans' and misgender me?

Despite my frivolity this evening concerning the original post from Reddit can I just say to any of the posters over there lurking over here

The Reddit OP said

"I'm of course a woman and was presenting as one in a dress with make up, tights and a handbag so there shouldn't be any doubt and he surely must've also known there was a huge trans event on - so he obviously just couldn't help himself."

I'm going to have to correct him. I don't do Reddit, so I'll do it here

You are of course NOT a woman and, despite what you thought you were presenting as, to everyone else you are still a man in a dress with make up, tights and a handbag. So whilst there probably wasn't any doubt to your friends that you think you're a woman everyone else sees the truth. And as for the policeman you are correct he surely must've also known there was a huge trans event on, which is totally irrelevant to reality, and when confronted by an obvious man in a dress he addressed you as such.

If any of you fellas are reading, and we know you are...

You're nuts. You're crazy. You're cuckoo. You're stark raving bonkers. You're off your rocker. You're pants-on-head insane. You're several sandwiches, a bottle of lemonade and a punnet of strawberries short of a picnic. You're a uterus, ovaries and Fallopian tubes short of a menstrual cycle. You're loopy, delulu, deranged, loco, loony, barmy, wacko, noodle doodle, cracked, batty and plain, good old fashioned bloody mad.

Stop pretending you experience anything even faintly resembling periods. You're men.

I second this post, and add an idiot short of a village.👍

It might be a zonkey.

You do not.

But if you are in the unfortunate position of possessing morbid curiosity, some have rather creative ways of attempting to mimic what they think a period is. Shoving frozen tomato paste up their wazoo is a go-to, as is raiding menstrual bins in public toilets to reclaim used products for their personal enjoyment.

Some believe they experience cramping and whine about it being that time of the month. They clutch their hot water bottles and their stupid shark wank-plushies and eat copious amount of chocolate, despite not having and never having a uterus (except perhaps in jars, in a basement).

Tiny, disturbed little porn-made men.

And if they rip them off they must be a boy really despite having body parts that would be "unusual for a boy" (© Chase Strangio).

I'm just off to bleach my eyes 🤮

Tights in this weather?!!!

Gawd can you imagine the stench?

How...what...why...

Darwin was wrong. The existence of these people disproves all evidence of natural selection. 1.2 billion years of evolution brings us these guys. I could weep.

I only came here to say that and you beat me!

But evolution works on random mutations and all these geezers are random mutants, so I think they prove evolution. 🤣

Also just because a man is wearing a dress doesn’t mean he’s a transwoman, it’s a fucking minefield for anyone who’s got eyes ear and a brain. We can’t be assuming peoples gender.

'the person ' is a B L O K E. Why wouldn't he be addressed as 'sir'?

This is what actually peaked me, frozen red ice cubes in the pants (fetish), this was close on the heels of hearing about the the cotton ceiling (rapey).obviously the rapey thing freaked me out the most but the period simulations made me go “yup that there is a fetish”. And oh god the videos of the grown men acting like they are in labour because of their pretend period.
