Where was this terrible 'joke' made???

I think that part of what may be going on is that society is now producing more people with fetishes and other paraphilia than it used to. Even in women, though mainly in men. And I think it's important to look into what is going on with these people so we can understand what in society has created this. Porn is clearly x major part of it, but not the only thing. And the reason we see so much porn openly used is in part because of ideas we have adopted about sexual freedom and the psychological effects of sexual objectification.
If we don't start trying to till these things back it will be much more difficult to deal with increasingly common sexual problems.

Re women, I think from previous posts of yours that you're thinking of the effect of increasingly explicit erotic fiction, among other things? I think that is an issue, I'm not sure it's creating paraphilias though I think the recent craze for stuff like 'monster romance' is disturbing and unhealthy but from what I've read , it doesn't usually create sexual paraphilias. Issues it does create are probably more to do with unrealistic expectations of behavior/attentiveness etc

I agree with all the rest of your post. Niche online communities aren't automatically bad but the sexualised ones are deeply unhelpful.

On Bluesky. Edited to add that AidaP, the man fantasising about sexually abusing women using a splintery rolling pin, posts a lot on FWR.

Men dressing as women; what really motivates them.

It didn’t sound much like a joke, more of a threat. AidaP is a regular “contributor” to these boards, dispensing platitudes, pearls of genderist wisdom and bigging himself up no end as a tremendous person and awesome woman.

Does anyone personally know of a ‘trans’ man who chooses to dress like your average women in the street? Like jeans and a jumper, leggings and a hoodie, chinos and shirts??
Weirdly this was something I was wondering about recently.

Yes, quite a few in my town. Doesn't change anyone's sex (gender critical here), but yes, there is a definite small group of very shy seeming, very close to their mothers, men who wear leggings and sweaters near me. Full points for rocking the 'I really can't be arsed and this was clean' look.

As blunt as this sounds, I don’t care.

it’s always some form of internal cognition and that is always seen as the most important thing and I don’t have any way to see inside someone else’s brain.

just stay out of women’s single sex spaces. And don’t expect me to go along with your delusion by compelling me to use preferred pronouns.

I don't know about cross-dressing or drag etc, but in terms of transgenderism, here's what I've read up about the brain of a "transsexual". I'll link the document I've taken most of this from at the bottom.
The general findings of neuroscientists relate to an area of the brain known as the 'central subdivision of the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis' (BSTc), a collection of cells in the hypothalamus. Zhou, Hofman, Gooren and Swaab (1997) suggest that there are differences in the brain based on sex, and their research suggests that the BSTc is larger in volume in males than females. Various neuroscientists have discovered that in transsexual females, those considered male at birth, but who had a strong conviction that they were female, the BSTc region was similar in size to the female BSTc and transsexuals considered female at birth, but who were certain they were male, had a BSTc volume similar to the male BSTc (Chung et al. 2002).
Furthermore, experiments showed that hormone levels in adulthood did not affect BSTc size. A 46-year-old female with high levels of testosterone due to a tumour had a normal sized BSTc, as did a 31-year-old man with high levels of oestrogen due to a feminizing adrenal tumour.
Anyway this is just some interesting psychological insight into a potential reason or at least a factor. Do I think this is the sole reason for people identifying as transgender? Probably not. But still.

Well, starting with their premise that we studied X number of men and women and found that...

Tells you everything you need to know.

Humans can't change sex.

Yep, feedback on how my post broke guidelines would be helpful, because whilst I don’t remember exactly what I said, I’m pretty sure it wasn’t nasty, just honest.

Maybe someone accidentally reported it by clicking on the little dots that appear to the top right of each post, by mistake?

We've all had posts deleted, i wouldn't worry too much........though i understand how upsetting it can sometimes be.

I had a post deleted from this board for using the word "cu*t" (no, not cunt, that is generally accepted!)

I think it's a bit much to say TIFs have turned their backs on women. They may not suppprt roling back women's rights - you could argue they have via identifying out of womanhood, though...

Sure, NATIFALT. Compare the attitudes of Buck Angel and Stephen Whittle, for example.

But women who claim that they are not women and expect that this changes reality for everybody, women who spout TWAW TMAM NBIV, they are particularly harmful to other women and vulnerable themselves.

Also Chase Strangio, who pushed for men to be in women’s prisons because everything should be easy after that.

My first deletion was because I had the audacity to comment on a post with the photograph of Eddie Izzard in his pink coat fiddling with himself in the queue in the female toilets which, of course, is a perfectly stunning, brave and ladylike thing to do.

I was somewhat perturbed at the deletion, thinking I'd done something wrong, but I hadn't, I see the pattern now. The pattern of puppeteer.

Datun · 10/04/2026 11:36

TRAs come and go in waves, and report the shit out of posts that expose things they don't want exposed.

If I get deleted, I often rewrite the post, but alter the specific part that apparently broke guidelines.

You can usually say what you want to say, but just choose a different way of expressing it.

That way, the exposure remains, albeit with different phrasing.

Of course, some men just like getting women deleted for the power. Like playground bullies 🙄

I took that photo. Maybe I’m lucky not to have been banned for it.

My last suspension was for telling a well known TRA and notorious pervert to fuck off.

Datun · 10/04/2026 11:48

I was deleted for saying 'it's far from victimless', in reply to a TRA saying that AGP was a victimless crime.

That was it.

You can understand it. Affording a male sexual fetish human rights has been achieved by stealth.

AGP was denied wholesale on here for years.

Then it was that women have it too, so wotevah.

Now deniability has failed, they're back to trying to delete all mention of it.

Well, good luck with that.

Yes @Datun , they were so adamant that they must be accepted parading their sordid stuff in public but we had to mention airports so they could keep awareness of it hidden Confused

FriedGold32 · 10/04/2026 12:16

I'm a straight married man and the strangest part of this whole thing to me is that other men apparently buy into the idea that straight men can want to dress up in women's clothes without it having anything to do with sexual desire. That is laugh-out-loud funny to me, I can barely think of anything more absurd.

That's great! I'm sure The Famous Eddie Izzard Pic has peaked a few people in its time. I know I showed it to a mate, who had said, surely Eddie Izzard wouldn't be hanging around women's toilets...

Exactly. Everyone knows that Eddie Izzard was completely upfront about being a transvestite, albeit a fairly low-key one in public.

And now he is still a transvestite in public. And more than happy to wear men's clothes and switch on boy mode when it affords him an advantage, of course.

Everyone can see it for what it is. There's no fucking way Eddie Izzard thinks he's a woman.

So what the bloody hell is this very well-known, completely straight man doing in a women's toilet?

I mean what the hell is any man doing in a woman's toilet. But most of them come up with some bullshit excuse, this is just taking the piss - whilst telling everyone you're taking the piss.

Ditto. It was quite odd as they said it was ‘unkind’ to call something a cult. Imagine that! It is unkind to call something what it is. I’m sure many victims of cults, and their loved ones, will think that ‘kindness’ is grossly misplaced.
