Mumsnet Obsession With Penises

[Manfreglory]

My controversial opinion is that most of the Mums who obsess here over penises, uteruses and chromosomes, would pick more important and interesting topics if their own child was trans.

That is the impression given, yes. Bods were coming back from Asia in the C19th, bringing curry recipes with them.

I'm getting the urge to go and see what the options are... I know we've got coconut milk in stock...

😁😁😁

sometimes advertising suggestions make me do a double take!!

I had to turn my safe search off for that and it still insisted on blurring images.

For some reason I read it as bull penis wanking stick. Luckily I did not search that as I fear for what I may have seen!

I made a really delicious meatball curry once. I think it was a gousto recipe. I'll have to go and check the recipe folder.

I've just watched that.
His face!

And his patience... the caller came over as a clueless, well-intentioned midwit with the critical thinking skills of a whelk.

Exactly...

...it's fascinating really.

Clearly this is a forum for mothers who've never loved and cared for a trans person.

I suppose technically mine is trans. Thankfully no one is suggesting any medication or surgery to attempt turn them into a t-rex though.

I have posted in Site Stuff suggesting that MNHQ add an Announcement when they shunt threads from other Boards in to FWR.

OP should be ashamed that their standard of debate was so poor that PPs judged them to be an 11 year old.

If the OP really is a middle-aged Canadian, as per the only previous post that I could find, then given the parlous state of mainstream journalism and media in Canada perhaps they can be excused their level of indoctrination and ignorance? 🤷‍♀️

Did you get any sense of the genesis of her opinions? Trans friends? Or just wanting to #bekind?

No. I really don't think any middle aged person can be excused this level of ignorance, stupidity and wilful denial of truth and fact.

They simply have allocated a false categorisation of 'true trans' and then further falsely assumed that no male person who holds the philosophical belief that they are no longer male will ever be harming a female person of any age.

It defies all logic but they need to maintain that falsehood to be able to remain supportive of allowing male people into the female single sex provisions.

It is actually quite a ridiculous premise to start with when you consider historical events.

I don't know. There are middle aged, liberal Canadians in the most hermetically sealed echo chambers you'll ever see in your life. So it could be that this person has simply never come across a questioning view on this, ever.

Er "WE don't all look the same"?
I thought you definitely weren't Trans.

Make your mind up.

You talk so fondly about your husbands' penises yet if a trans woman has one, it's the enemy.

This is a version of the 'you've all got gender neutral loos in your house'.

Its the same fallacy. And it's exactly the same argument that used to be used against rape victims.

A woman who has consenting sex with a man does not therefore sign away the need for her consent to interactions with other men/penises.

Women are allowed to choose which penises they are exposed to or interact with, and to suggest otherwise is gross rape culture.

I still don't think that's an excuse. Everyone knows full well the facts of the situation. Otherwise the argument really wouldn't exist.

Agreed. I was just questioning the idea that this has to be a younger person.

Really? OP appears to be misinformed about more than just trans issues then since curry has been a popular/common dish in the UK since at least Victorian times. I doubt it was viewed as particularly odd in the '50s.

The children that have been raped in public toilets are from more vulnerable backgrounds. Although I do not know the demographics of schools, what I think is true of any background, is that many go unreported.

When you start to research you start to see patterns and it’s horrifying.

For example, in the EHRC consultation due in before 11.59pm today
At example 13.3.15 there’s this: The cubicles have floor to ceiling lockable doors and there have been no complaints about inappropriate conduct in the changing rooms.
This is really, really not a justification for mixed sex spaces that they think it is.

As far as ‘lockable’ and ‘secure’ toilet cubicles go, none are truly secure as in building regs you need to be able to open the door from the outside outwards as it is so well known that bodies impede access otherwise.

We all remember that book by a Mumsnetter, "A heartbreaking work of staggering penis", don't we?

Or the time a Mumsnetter played the piano on Channel 4 with her penis.

Or the time a Mumsnetter graffit'd the words "Suck my dick" outside a FiLiA conference.

Oh hang on. No. They were all trans activists. Silly me.

I don’t think I’ll ever get over the piano thing…. If ever there was a words fail me moment- that was it!

Two different posts advocating putting sliced banana in curry.

There's such a thing as going too far y'know.

Not in the curry. You have sliced banana rolled in desiccated coconut as a side dish. It's nice!

There is no such thing as a trans child and no such thing as trans either. That being the case women on here (and elsewhere) would still be interested in supporting and fighting for our sex-segregated spaces against men who 'think' they are women.

This is really interesting, thanks. I think I need to research more about curry!

Growing up my mum used to roll a whole banana in desiccated coconut and then wrap it in tinfoil and freeze it. Cheep-o icy treat! Even better if you dip part of it in melted chocolate after you take it out (though that one I learned as an adult).
