I don't think this post is going to last long but what's the deal with hating trans women so much? I've been a women for 13 years of my life since 18 and it's never been a problem. Suddenly I'm not only talk of the town but also an evil man stealing everyone's rights away from them? I wasn't much of a boy as a kid anyway but. I just wanted to ask like what's the deal? Why do you hate the idea of me existing so much? What have I personally done to you that's been so bad? I feel like I need to be careful with my words because it'll be easy to accuse me of all sorts but I've done no harm to anyone. If you want to ask a trans woman some honest questions then please do, I don't usually talk about it in my day to day life and that, I'm pretty down to earth and will help you understand as much as possible. But I'd like to ask the people that hate me so much, can we ever get along? Please don't assume I'm what the internet and the media says I am though, I'm not like that at all! I just want us all to get on and I'm sick of having my life debated every 5 minutes.

Nobody hates you or hates the fact that you exist. No questions to ask you as I'm not interested.

Women and girls would like their single sex spaces and categories to be free from all biological men, however they present or identify. Not because we think you seek to do us harm but because you are a man. Simple as that.

OhPea · 17/02/2026 21:32

Just stay out of women’s spaces and all will be okay. No one hates you, we just know you’re still a bloke.

DialSquare · 17/02/2026 21:34

Oh FFS. Tell me you haven’t got a clue about the posters on here without telling me you haven’t got a clue about the posters on here.

lifeturnsonadime · 17/02/2026 21:34

Why do you think anyone hates you or doesn't want you to exist?

All women want is to have single sex spaces free from all males including those who identify as women.

ShawnaMacallister · 17/02/2026 21:35

We don't hate you, we just don't believe you're a woman. Because you aren't.

Dragonasaurus · 17/02/2026 21:36

Actually I do have a question, why are you so hung up on gender stereotypes that you can’t be all the things you want to be - choose your name, your clothes, your behaviour etc while still accepting that you are a man?

And yeah, nobody has a problem as long as you stay out of spaces sports and services which aren’t for you - lots of transwomen manage this, and I’m happy to support them

this post uses the pronoun 'I' 16 times. I think we may have answered the question of what pronouns the OP prefers...

Notmymarmosets · 17/02/2026 21:38

You sound ridiculous. Why on earth do you imagine people hate you existing? You can exist all you like. What you can't do is appropriate women's rights and single sex spaces as you are a man.

MarieDeGournay · 17/02/2026 21:38

As previous posters have said - we don't hate you, we just don't believe you are a woman.

We'd have no opinion whatsoever about you, good, bad or indifferent, if you weren't claiming to be something you're not, i.e. a woman.

CassOle · 17/02/2026 21:39

Just follow the bleddy law mate.

You are male. If you don't want to use male single-sex spaces, use unisex ones.

Yes - and 23 uses of me, my & I .
The self obsession never seems to end 🙄

lifeturnsonadime · 17/02/2026 21:40

Another trans identifying male poster who reckons no women clock him! Bless.

there's definitely a certain pattern to the type of people who rock up here to defend playing lady tourist isn't there?

Greyskybluesky · 17/02/2026 21:40

So not only do woman see me as a woman, so do men.

You have no idea what other people are thinking of you.

technically there were never single sex spaces to begin with

YES there were

MarieDeGournay · 17/02/2026 21:41

Sorry guys, you can't all share the same similar replies in a short amount of time 😅

OK everybody, if a poster came on and said Glasgow is in France, would we all mull it over for an hour or two and then come up with completely dissimilar replies?😄

ok so I personally, am not. Some are and I think the media plays on it a lot. I don't go around telling people to call me a woman or she or whatever, they just do. I never asked them to either. Well, apparently I might not even be a man anymore? Apparently I'm 'some sort of new type of intersex' which I think is probably rubbish. I dunno, I never grew up as one so I can't really call myself one. I get why people get upset with me people called a woman but at the same time, I'm treated like one everyday? So it's a confusing one.

Hey I was going to stay out of women's sports but my friends dragged me like 12 years ago 😅 I've given it up now. Not because I'm banned twice but I'd feel awful if I was the reason my team lost points but I doubt anyone would say anything anyway.

lifeturnsonadime · 17/02/2026 21:42

women who don't want men in our spaces must be bots! I haven't seen that one for a while.

FuzzyPuffling · 17/02/2026 21:42

Not bots, just a consensus of women that you are a man, and always will be, regardless of your frock- wearing tendencies.

Stay out of all our spaces. This is not a plea, it's the law.

If you had read any of the hundreds of previous posts, you'd have a level of understanding which seems to have passed you by.

cool, don't use "I". Got it.

OP posts:
Alucard55 · 17/02/2026 21:43

But this is the thing though, I don't identify as a woman, you lot identify me as a woman. Make sense?

I can assure you we don't.

Greyskybluesky · 17/02/2026 21:43

Why don't you think your post is going to last long?
Present a coherent argument and people will interact with you.

CassOle · 17/02/2026 21:43

'You all think I'm a man/male, so you must all be bots' is demonstrating serious levels of cope.

This is very confused.
