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?

This makes out there's equal entitlement here.

It's a nice trick but what you dont point out is it's not just about words. It's also about deeds.

You have said you will continue to use female only facilities - this pushing out some women and removing the privacy and dignity of others. Women don't have anywhere else to go en mass.

As a single male you can easily remove yourself from this conflict point, maintain your privacy and dignity in doing so and not shit on women.

The entitlement is entrenched in this point together with your insistence that the material reality of sex - which offers you your own protections as trans and can't be ignored by doctors - is irrelevant and that sex is the same as gender.

Women are not demanding anything. They just want to be free of men dominating them everywhere. Single sex spaces came from the desire to escape male dominance and dictatorship as well as from safety and privacy reasons.

Now that's been bulldozed as not important - by men.

There's no equality in this entitlement in the way you try and make out. You try and frame it as reasonable but the point you miss is the most important one of all - women being allowed to advocate for themselves by themselves.

You don’t really know my deeds apart from what you’ve assumed. You assumed I pushed in without any awareness or thought for others, and that is not true.

How come there are so many obvious blokes who say they pass, then?

The number of blokes who clearly don’t see what the rest of us see when they look in the mirror is flabbergasting.

As a woman I also don't want men in my spaces.

Except you are not a woman. If you don’t want to use the gents or ‘gender neutral’ facilities then you could take the advice of Big Colin and stay at home.

Oh, mate… now we know you are trolling.

Claims of punching down are rich coming from gender criticals

‘Gender’ is just regressive stereotypes and utter bollocks . Everyone should be critical of ‘gender’.

SternJoyousBeev2 · 19/03/2026 21:20

ATranssexualWoman · 19/03/2026 19:07

Yeah that's the point.

Also my sex isn't known in the workplace.

That’s not the flex you seem to think it is.

Cis men aren’t exactly know for treating trans women very well

Men not treating other men well? Seems like a man problem.

And as I have already said, you’re completely free to your opinion and I respect that. I’ve never demanded or told anyone how they should describe or refer to me.

You’re entitled to call me a man and I’m entitled to say I’m not one.

True, but you are not entitled to our stuff or our spaces so keeps your sticky mitts off!

SternJoyousBeev2 · 19/03/2026 21:30

lifeturnsonadime · 19/03/2026 20:51

In a typical male narcissist way he doesn't think women's rights exist other than to centre men like him.

The fucking cheek of it.

True, it’s all very “me, me, me”

“I’m a proper transexual, I’m not like those other blokes who just pretend”. 🙄

TiredOfYourLies · 19/03/2026 20:59

Just because we’re both trans, it doesn’t instantly make us friends lol. And yes I do see the way they carried themself in this conversation. I didn’t like how they came here and tried to tell you why you’re not feminists and that you’re assisting the far right.

I think there is room for respectful discussion and disagreement

But you don't see that as typically male behaviour?

Not just white males….have you seen Magic Johnson’s son EJ? Or that bloke Blossom? The delulu is high with those two.

EJ claims he's not gay or attracted to gay men despite being a whole man (and a huge lummox of a man, at that) and also says that he looks better than any woman. Reading the various posts here, it seems men who say they're women, no matter their racial or ethnic background, all read from the same delusional, misogynistic hymn book.

I concluded that I’m equally entitled to access spaces that are safe. I’m established in my transition and know my presence isn’t disruptive. As my therapist always reminds me, I’m not responsible for how others might feel about me

So the dignity and privacy of others can just be ignored cos it's not convenient for you.

Cheers.

So you didn’t come to any conclusion about women, no awareness whatsoever about the impact on women?

You have no idea whatsoever about whether your presence is disruptive! You are selfishly only thinking about yourself. Even if you are able to ‘stealth’ you are harming women through deception and it’s selfish of you not to consider the various ways that women can be affected by the presence of males.

you can be safe in gender neutral facilties if you don’t want to use the gents. Stay out of women’s single sex spaces.

You are perfectly safe in the men's and by infiltrating women's spaces you demonstrate you have no respect for women's safety and dignity. It's gross behaviour (and very narcissistic and male coded if you don't mind me saying).

I didn’t say that. I said at my stage of transition, I can be almost certain my presence isn’t having a negative impact on others. If my presence was having an actual negative impact on others I wouldn’t use female spaces.

You don't have any idea what impact you are having on women. How extraordinarily presumptuous to claim you do. Ugh.

TheKeatingFive · 19/03/2026 21:59

It's just predatory men, all the way down, isn't it? 🙄
