Vulva Only Spaces

Is this what we need to be asking for now?

That wouldn't exclude people who had transitioned. But it would exclude people who have a penis. Surely when people had transitioned and have a vulva instead of a penis they would feel exactly the same way, as women.

I agree with all of that. And I'm angry that it seems to me that women are now being marginalised and expected to accept things that we don't want in favour of people who say they want to be women. If they want to be women, support women.

The point of my post was to ask if using the wording vulva only spaces would at least allow us to continue to have, or claw back, the right to have some places where there is no possibility of exposure to male genitalia.

No, we need to hold the line...keep fighting for the word "woman" to stay meaning biological women, and keep fighting to keep women only spaces.

If we give an inch now we've lost.

Well, you're taking your sweet time, so...

elbows Bridget out of the way

Me, me, look at me!!!

Well @BiologicalRobot you wanted lemon drizzle cake to lick off the walls! Stick around (no pun intended), there may indeed be Drizzle Cake at Dawn!

It is not really about being exposed to male genitalia; it is more about the privacy of one's sex and how that is compromised by the 'otherness' of a male person in a female only public space, and how that can make women and girls feel uncomfortable.... at the very least.

Oh-ho... What sticky mess did I get myself into?

(Luckily, I have a cunning plan! "At dawn," you say? But is it your dawn (UK time) or my dawn (France time)? Muahaha!)

And yet you were arsed. Just to criticise though, not to inform. If it is important enough to you to post, why not explain why I must not express myself in my own words. Perhaps give a list of things that you personally believe other people cannot think or say. Do you feel the same about every opinion anyone has that is different to yours on any subject?

A surgically created opening in a body is not a vulva, wherever it is placed.

(Dammit, have to think of something else)

I'm not prepared to sell my soul yet, so I shall consider my other options. In the meantime, if you do acquire Said Knowledge, I might be prepared to trade for it, but I'll have to see if there's anything I can steal find to trade. Have a think over the weekend...?

Truce?

Alucard55 · 18/07/2026 16:54

I missed this one. Did anyone get a full house?

BiologicalRobot · 18/07/2026 17:03

Editing for being too much. And means I'll never get any lemon drizzle cake again 😩

Also, I need names for female characters, so I might just steal your soul username.

So does this mean I'm to initiate @Seethlaw in the ways of the bigly letters?

Perhaps I could split the powers and give Seeth the Bigly letters and @BridgetYourFortyDaysAreUp the upside-down words?

As long as I get a percentage of any Tunnock's paid as offerings I think that would work!

I'm not sure upside down letters are worth as much as BIGLY letters and emojis. Doesn't seem like a fair deal to me. And if you split the powers, then @Seethlaw and I have to work together, which was not part of My Cunning Plan...

It's up to you. Whatever you give @Seethlaw I'll figure out a way to inveigle it in time <evil cackle>. Do what you will.

(I'll be over here, negotiating with @inkymoose )

BridgetYourFortyDaysAreUp · 18/07/2026 17:25

I think I'm being bankrolled.

the upside down letters package has benefits not available to the bigly letters package

Sorry, someone started in with the Bigly Letters and I lost track! But someone posted a very graphic... um, graphic of a fake (I think) vulva upthread, which I skimmed over quickly. So, there's been a bit of excitement 😁

ooh interesting. So, I assume you know more than @GriseldaandMike does ..,

I believe she knows everything I know. She should, it cost her 144 Tunnock's Tea cakes, the balance of which is still outstanding. So if you pay her debt to me I'll definitely make sure she shares the power with you.

Honest.

ok. Here's what I think: my phone's battery is about to die (honest, gov) so I shall recharge and return, after I work out where I'm going to acquire the remaining debt.

(or something like that. honest)

Would you accept an IOU?

For your soul or the teacakes?

I'm sorry. I thought part of the surgery to change the genitalia removed the penis and created something at least resembling a vulva. Am I wrong?

Having seen some of the images of surgery, I would say yes you are very wrong.

Google with care to find out what they do to the penis and sometimes the colon.

After travelling to the ends of the Earth, on foot, in the snow, with only water to sustain me, I have found...

the Fount of Bigly Letters.

As well as a cryptic map of where to find a deep, deep well, at the bottom of which was buried...

Too early to say. Probably not soul, but stranger things have happened.

oops gotta go!

CornishDaughteroftheDawn · 18/07/2026 17:43

Oops, I should have read the thread. I see we’ve done penis origami already.

How about colon contortions and the smell of poo?
