Feminism: Sex and gender discussions

Watch in real time as Trans Reddit turns on one of it's own for suggesting that maybe they are biological men and arguing they are not makes them look unstable.

There is a distinct lack of coherency in the posting.

Absolutely. I can't tell if it's genuine confusion or faux naiveite.

If your men have not stopped growing, then science is likely interested in studying them.

They aren't men, they are boys. Hope that helps.

But at 6'4" and 6'5" they already outliers on the adult male charts despite being teens. But men can continue to grow after 18.

Just before we all have to go, having experienced more posts from one person than I've seen for many a day, can we take a moment to remember the title and the original subject of this thread.

You're statistically taller than average (5'3") UK women. Skinnier though, lacking typical female body fat.

Again, sex realists imposing their beliefs onto others.

As a person who exercises daily, I've been unsuccessful at reducing my body fat percentage below 24% (measured by dexa and other means over the years).

Reading this and some of your other comments leads me to believe that you're more than a little confused by the discussion.

Edited

Actually, I am just waiting for the 'well then all toilets and changing rooms should be mixed sex'.

I feel like we recently have done this discussion along these lines very recently. Including being called failed feminists. There is something very familiar (and very recent) with this current incoherency.

One wonders whether 'gender' varies from area to area.

In Fife coalmining areas, decorating - wallpapering, painting etc - was normally done by the women in working class families when I was a young woman.

I learned to use a screwdriver etc by watching my mum. It came as a shock to me when I went to uni and discovered that certain middle class female students couldn't even change a light bulb.

The word 'gender' has been debased. At one point, it was purely used in grammatical sense. Later, it was used as a synonym for sex.

Now that we have some bright sparks telling us that there are multiple genders, the word has become meaningless.

A quick search appears to show the NHS accepting 21 genders [!] though it turns out that they're mixing genders and sexualities, while a particular website claims 81... Jeepers.

Bloody hell. I spoke too soon. Apparently there are 200+:

I know. I thought about that this afternoon as this thread progressed.

JanesLittleGirl · 06/05/2026 19:00

Between 2% and 4% of men in the UK are 5'4" or less. They appear to be able to use men's loos without difficulty. What makes PolyPoster so special?

DeanElderberry · 06/05/2026 19:01

ThatFairy · 06/05/2026 18:43

I obviously know that. I'm just shocked that you don't think our gender is a real thing. You're educated women, and you call yourselves feminists !

Gender is a function of grammar. It didn't start being applied to humans until the 1990s. I'd been an adult for more than a decade and half by then, a feminist for two decades (read Germaine Greer in the 70s), educated to degree level.

Gender was a career-building invention of Judith Butler and other careerist flim flammers. It is profoundly unfeminist.

TakeTheCuntingQuichePatricia · 06/05/2026 19:02

I know a handful of men who are less than 5ft4. They are still men. I also know a couple of very tall women. 6ft ish. They are still women.

Maybe I need to ask which of them can use the tv.

All this wide eyed faux naivete, leading to this. What a surprise.
It ain't rocket science and you know it. Men are men, women are women, and some people like pretending to be the opposite sex. Some people go along with that pretence, and others prefer not to. Very, very few people pass as the sex that they are not, whatever you'd have us believe.

You misinterpreted my tone

Yes. The Reddit post is merely an example of what we've seen elsewhere: trans identified men being berated for acknowledging that they're not actually women.

We shouldn't be surprised: we've already seen men who believe that having dysphoria is a prerequisite for being trans being decried as 'truscum'.

Have you ever heard of a man who lights candles for their bath or chooses lovely floral bedlinen ? At that, who enjoys having flowers in the house ? You know this

I'm a woman and I don't do those things.
My navy geometric duvet cover does not make me a man. A floral bedspread doesn't make a man a woman. I thought you said you had heard of feminism 🤔

It’s already slipped. It was a jolly good try for a while, though.

although I’m enjoying the fast sprint to the end of the thread via bed linen.

Taztoy · 06/05/2026 19:15

I have trauma that means I cannot cope with a man in a female single sex space.

the law says men arent allowed to be there.

I don’t consent to them being there and no one else can consent for me.

why are men allowed to break the law?

My late husband enjoyed having flowers in the house.

Crumbs...Don't tell me that I was married to a woman for 27 yrs.

It was.

I typed that post and it had already gone!

Ah well. Another one bites the dust...

BettyBooper · 06/05/2026 19:19

One day someone will come along with a decent coherent argument.

Oh no, actually they won't.
