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.

'You lot identify me as a woman'.
Sorry Sunshine but I definitely don't identify you as a woman. Why do you say that? I'm in no doubt at all that I'd instantly identify you as a man if we were to meet.

It's not our problem if you're frightened to go into the gents.

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

legit don't want to argue. Came with an olive branch and nobody want to take it 🤷‍♀️

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.

The best remedy for this kind of confusion is to look at the facts: humans are either male or female, even people with DSDs have male DSDs or female DSDs, and it's easy to tell them apart, mostly by just looking, but a very simple swab test will provide a definite answer.

There's no need for all this confusion!

We're not interested. Just stay away from women's single sex spaces and leave us alone.

An olive branch? Don't make me laugh. You came here accusing people of "hate" in your first post. You are here with prejudice and an attitude. You don't want to listen, you want to talk about yourself, your experiences, your life, you you you you. What a surprise....

Does this offer of peace come with the acceptance that you have not changed sex, or do you want to metaphorically beat us with said branch until we will lie to you and pretend that you have?

Rightsraptor · 17/02/2026 21:48

An olive branch? In what way is an olive branch relevant? Who's fighting?

chicken, no one here hates you. you're not interesting enough for a start

and literally no-one, including you, thinks you're a woman

just obey the law, stay out of women's sports and women's spaces and you'll be golden. they're not for you

I'm sorry you feel so confused and scared. This probably isn't the best place to work things out.
The truth is usually the best way forward, so finding out the real facts is a good basis. Illusions and delusions just fall apart eventually.
I hope you get things sorted out and I wish you well.

yea probably, just heard a lot of rumours about mumsnet is all. Thought I'd see what it's all about and so far I'm not allowed to use pronouns. Sorry, no message, allowed pronouns. There we go. Ahhh done it again. Sorry, I'm just messing about.
