‘Woman’ missing in Southampton

[HannahinHampshire]

Now I hope that this person is found safe and well - but this is not a woman! Why is Samantha being described as a woman? This helps no one, neither the person who is missing nor those searching for him.

Do you call straight people normal people rather than using gay and straight? I would be SHOCKED if you’re also homophobic (I wouldn’t).

Nobody has said "normal"

I call straight people straight people. I call men men and women women. You have no basis for accusing me of homophobia as a bizarre non sequitur but I realise said flailing is the best you can do.

So @Canadanian please can you explain what harm preventing men from accessing female spaces has done to women?

whilst you’re about it, please could you explain how letting males into female spaces makes women safer and what material benefit women will gain from allowing males into female spaces. Please do so without any reference to transpeople, this is purely about the gains and benefits to women. I did ask another GI poster but they seem to have gone radio silent on the matter. Maybe you can help?

Is it 'in the sprit' to keep repeating something that was already deleted, admittedly in order to get a thread itself deleted?

Straight people and gay people are people.

Transwomen are not women

There's a difference.

Even if you add a space.

But surely by using the word “cis” to describe women, you are just reinforcing to males with a trans identity that they will never be women. I mean, seems pretty nasty thing to do in my eyes….. every time you use “cis” to describe women, youre telling TIM, you can never be a woman because you’re not “cis”. How mean

My phone doesn't want me to, I've trained it well.

Nope. Very few of the posts are even directly about the missing person, let alone 'kicking them'. They are primarily about the police's methods in this case.

How do you know Samantha is a 'trans woman' by the way? I don't believe the police have mentioned that.

‘The best I can do….’

is much better than you’ve done recently (defended disgusting body shaming and told a rape survivor off for ‘making it all about her’ in a conversation about tape’.

you’re awful!

Based phone!

is this a ‘good faith’ argument you’re making?

Hey, we could get all giddy and use a hyphen. Or maybe a bit rococo and use a tilde.

Whatever the punctuation, a man's a man for a' that.

Trans and cis are both ADJECTIVES. Trans women and cis women are both women.

No. Not biologically and not legally. A “trans woman” is a man who identifies as a woman. Not an actual woman. Hope that’s helpful.

Gosh you really are going above and beyond agent TERF @Canadanian keep it up

I thought gender identity was an ineffable wossname, personal, known only to each individual and not up for debate. 'Cis'ing complete strangers is probably conversion practice.

No, sorry, not possible. You see, a woman is an adult human female. A “transwoman” is a male, therefore can never be a woman. Sorry bud.

So can you explain what “transwomen” and “cis” women have in common thst male both groups women? Remember it must not include the word woman, and must be materially applicable to every member of both groups.

And what made you decide which Samantha is? Given we weren't told.

The only people who can be transwomen are men. You know that. It's literally the only fixed criterion.

Canadanian wants this thread deleted 🤷‍♀️

I’m of the option that if posters just refuse to engage with his/her extremely childish comments, this thread wouldn’t have got to 15 pages.

This is insane. All we know about Samantha is that he's missing and the press release was unhelpful regarding getting him found. All the tras riding out to defend his gender identity, he might be the Miranda Yardley type of transwoman. Comfortable with male pronouns and fluid in his gender presentation, once sued for being a TERF.

Good point @lcakethereforeIam
