Pretty shocking but it seems they think they're right.

It is also worth remembering that the banning of pro-ana content on Tumblr and the rise of gender identity on Tumblr coincided.

Children, by and large, don't need to be told the sex of people. They can see for themselves. Studies show even very young babies can tell the difference between male and female faces.

It's a lot easier though for children, even adolescents, to pass as the opposite sex than for adults. I don't think we know the age of this trans child at the camp.

People have the right to believe any nonsense if they want, as long as it doesn’t impact the rights of others. Whether that’s ley lines or gods or witchcraft or homeopathy or that you can change gender I don’t care.

But unlike ley lines etc, gender ideology does unavoidably impact the rights of others! You can’t obey its commands without affecting other people. Not only the major wrongs such as putting boys in girls’ dormitories etc, but even if it’s just confusing children by using wrong or made-up pronouns.
I recommend reading Pronouns are Rohypnol.

Pronouns are Rohypnol • Fair Play For Women

There’s a lot of chat around about pronouns right now. Specifically, ‘preferred’ pronouns. By which is usually meant, the pronouns a person would prefer.

Not just confusing children, but literally removing the ability to be specific about sex in any written or verbal communication. The language of law, of art and culture, of online discourse, of sharing experiences, history, analysis, expectations and needs ... the ability to speak clearly about who is which sex, which sex did what to who and why, obscured away not just for the future but in records of the past as well.

And who does that hurt most?

Not men, "mankind", the "common man", the neutral "he", the default human perspective in discourse, history and culture.

It hurts women. The "invisible" half. The exception, the sex that has to be named specifically to be remembered and included, to be differentiated in data or considered in culture.

Contributed to 3 threads today

One was by a woman with a trans identified teenager who she called a tomboy and not a girly girl because she doesnt like dresses.

2 from women who are disappointed their baby is male due to various gendered stereotypes. Many other women contributed to speak about their own horror at having a boy due to these same stereotypes.

Ive never seen anything like it so openly.

More gendered thinking. People who dont sound like me must be men because I am a woman and all women sound the same.

God the poor confused kids raised by people with such small minded opinions.

Was @ThatBlackCat supposed to be upset you threatened to stop talking to her? Are you 10? That’s such a bonkers thing to threaten on an adult talk forum.

I just set a boundary. I wont speak to people who I dont want to. I dont care how they feel about it.

Lol I just saw the "men and women talking a certain way" in a thread where I've been saying that mumsnet users generally stick to rigid gender stereotypes.

I think it’s more the general snottiness and lack of empathy I am reading in your tone. You do come across as a bit patronising and condescending. Not saying that’s a male trait, but on here, it’s usually the male posters who come across like that so I can see where the confusion lies.

On here, where you actually cant determine who is male and who isn't?

Namelessnelly · 04/09/2025 06:52

There’s usually a few good indications
a scolding patronising tone
calling other people’s opinions stupid without any clarification of why
threatening to not talk to posters if they don’t agree like it’s some punishment
not empathising with others points of view
general snarkiness

Indications of what? A penis? People are allowed to say they won't talk to you and stick by it. People are allowed to create their own boundaries.

Seriously though, you need to stop with the idea that you can tell a man or a woman through their opinions. It is harmful.

What now? So now I am a man, because I've made it clear I am a woman AND because I don't agree. I wonder if Mumsnet are okay with this kind of conduct?

Nope, it's a truism. Males and females do speak differently. This has been found in studies. I'm sorry you're annoyed that someone saw through your belligerent and smug scolding tone.

If you don't care, you wouldn't be banging on about it pages later. It's caused much heartache and offence, obviously.

Except it's not a stereotype. And if you were female, you'd know it by instinct. It's proven by studies. It's hence not a stereotype. It's a fact males have a smug an belligerent 'tone', thinking we'll suffer from their not contributing. It reeks of male.

Thank you for proving my point about the opinions of the average MN user. You do indeed subscribe to rigid gendered thinking. It is helpful to have direct posts to link to when examples of this are needed. Would you like to add anything else about men and women?

Ihavetoask · 04/09/2025 07:16

ThatBlackCat · 04/09/2025 07:14

Through your screen? Or by your ideas about what men and women think and say in our giant gendered monoliths?

Lol ok. Can you send a peer reviewed link to this "fact"?
