Re: "Woman" is an adult biological female

Hi Elle,

Biological reality is not quite so easy to pin down sometimes but it certainly makes it's presence felt.  A friend of mine, she was told she could not leave the hospital until she had decided on what sex her baby was.  Hermaphrodite is the old fashioned term, not sure if there's a new one.  

Like most people in that situation, she chose girl because her baby felt more feminine than male.  

Some few years ago I saw a middle-aged hermaphrodite being interviewed on the tv.  He was in South America, brought up as a girl but turned to boy during puberty and was at middle age an effeminate looking man.  No medical treatment.  No surgery no drugs.  No legal determinations of her/his sex required.  

A lot better situation than my friend's daughter, she was brutalised by the medical interventions.  It was like they decided well we have determined she is a girl and can't go back now so now we have to make it stick. 
  
My ex didn't want to have children he insisted I take the pill which I did, til in great distress I refused to do it any more when I got to 30.  

So yes these trans activists have me worried - no love or respect for women, just this terrifying blow hard competing to take our place as if they are superwomen.

I've lost a grandson and daughter to this because I won't affirm something that's untrue. And I'm hoping the world wakes the fuck up sooner than later.
I can't believe more people can't see the misogyny in all this.
I was watching scenes at the "emergency protests" (LOL) in London and a reporter was interviewing a man, must have been 50+, with breast implants, a really bad attempt to appear female but obviously a truckload of entitlement. Clearly an autogynephile and expecting the rest of us to be accepting. Just no.

Re: "Woman" is an adult biological female

That's so painful, Elle - maybe you can find any little ways you can to affirm the bonds of family instead.

I am accepting of reality.  Basic physical reality, and that includes transgender people.  My thinking is that a lot of transgender activism has come about because of the relentless marketing - there is so much money to be made in feminising.  And hang the consequences to the people doing it. 

But also I have seen it is not just transgender, they all seem to believe they are superior to women in the world of gay, closeted or not, dominant or submissive, whether they want to change into a woman to attract a man or just want a man to be attracted to them as they are - women are trash to them.  It's more than nothing.

Except, oh and there's some who come to mind and bring a smile to my face,  Gay men who are kind and caring and love their sisters and mothers and good to their women friends.

Lily..my family will never be the same ever again. I accept it won't be and I'm adjusting to it because if I don't it will cripple me.

As for accepting reality everybody has their own and they can live it, as long as it doesn't impact on mine. But the misogyny of it means that men, transexuals who've been around for years...have crossed the line of respect, dignity and safety. They're crossing it because they want what women have and they're entitled enough to expect us all to bow down and let them in

I also know there are exceptions. Men who just want to live with their fetish and not step on toes. I know one. He knows he's a man, is critical of trans activists and is getting on with his new life (gender reassignment at 60). But those men are not in the protests you see around the world. They don't carry signs that say "a good terf is a dead terf.
So I'll say it is only transgender. I think the lgb has been hoodwinked and gaslit into accepting tq and now their entire community is tainted with tq activism.
