OP "If anyone could help me to understand, I would be extremely grateful. I just want my daughter to be alive and happy in her own skin as much as possible ."

Responses: "diy is reliable and safe, there are communities that will be able to help, and really all it is getting a blood test every now and then to check how low or high a couple numbers are and adjusting accordingly."

Full details here:

How is this even slightly legal? The pro anorexia sites were shut down right? The pro suicide?

To borrow some of your words from upthread: you need to stop infantilising women

We know our own minds
We know our own history
We know our own experience
We know what represents a threat to us

Well... obviously we don't! Because we have to have a male person tell us who is oppressing us and how.

And tell us what our history is.

And what we feel and experience.

You’re just demonstrating how little you know about this site and the women here. It’s not in your gift, as a man, to bestow the title of feminist on women or take it away. But how telling that you think it is.

Fuckin A

My question for you again @ATranssexualWoman

How is the situation where male people have forced female people to accept their subjective reality as being materially real for access to female single sex provisions been EXACTLY like the far right campaign about limiting legal migration?

ArabellaScott · 19/03/2026 18:01

Shedmistress · 19/03/2026 17:37

You woman are a tool of the patriarchy yet me, a man im so oppressed.

Its like Monty Python in here today.

That is not the situation.

If you are asking me how a manufactured outrange against the minority population of transgender people that nobody really cared about 10 years ago is similar to a manufactured outrage against the minority population of migrants that nobody really cared about 15 years ago, then I would direct you to my previous reply.

ArabellaScott · 19/03/2026 18:04

I've been out all day oppressing people with my big womanly boots. Have I missed anything?

TiredOfYourLies · 19/03/2026 17:06

I’m going to stop you right there. Your issue here is with cis men. Transsexual women are not responsible for what they do.

'Cis' men aren't the ones taking all the women's only stuff off women and insisting that we have to include men in the word woman...

I, as a woman, get an opinion on what is feminism. You can disagree all you like as can every other woman who also gets an opinion.

But you cannot change that I categorically do not believe you are feminists and in fact believe you are incredibly harmful to women's rights.

ArabellaScott · 19/03/2026 18:07

Even if you have your tool removed, as a male, you remain the actual stuff of the patriarchy.

As evidenced by the tedious, relentless attacks on women. We cant even have a chat without being accused of being evil far right oppressors.

Rewriting history

You're going to need to do better than that. Some of us were there 10 and 15 years ago!

You are male.

You are not female.

Helleofabore · 19/03/2026 18:09

ATranssexualWoman · 19/03/2026 17:38

I have already explained that.

By the way....

Please point out all the ways how MALE people have not continued to repeal and restrict the rights of female people through their demand to be included in Prison accommodation for female prisoners ? inclusion in female single sex rape crisis support? Refuges? Sport?

Or to be very clear. Please point out all the ways how by demands to be included in Prison accommodation for female prisoners, inclusion in female single sex rape crisis support, Refuges, Sport, or ANY female single sex provision or opportunity, a group of MALE people have not continued to repeal and restrict the rights of female people?

Would you like me to evidence my question? Or can we just assume that because of the court cases, and the mentions in parliament etc that male people have demanded and successfully gained at some stage access to Prison accommodation for female prisoners, female single sex rape crisis support, Refuges, Sport, and just about ANY female single sex provision or opportunity. I am happy to post details supporting all of my claims that a group of male people have done this in the UK.

I'm sorry, but it isnt possible to change sex. Idk why it even is such a big deal. Men can live however they please! Be kind, pretty, have long hair, whatever.

RedToothBrush · 19/03/2026 18:09

The SC clarified which sex transwomen are. If we were in any doubt.

I was sexually assaulted by a 'transwoman' going on thirty years ago.

RedToothBrush · 19/03/2026 18:10

Let's also note there isn't the same colonisation of the word man in NHS material.

Just anything to do with women.

Trans women belong in women's spaces, same as any other woman.

For the cis men who pretend to be trans? Well once again that's cis mens fault and they are the people to blame.

RedToothBrush · 19/03/2026 18:11

Only men with gender dysphoria are transwomen.

Not women.

And I would like to assure that poster that many people really did care very much about the minority population of migrants 15 years ago!

Fucks sake.

Always someone else fault that you make an active decision to walk into the ladies.

That wasn't 'cis men' making you do this.

Nor is it 'cis men' insisting on female pronouns for transwomen...

No one here cares what men think about feminism. Hope that helps.

Stay out of women's spaces. Thank you.
