Transgender stuff - what's going on?

[Skidfingers McGonical]

I'll admit, I had never heard of intersex until then. Just googled it and looked at images.

You’re wanking aren’t you?

That's totally bizarre.  Surely biological females identifying as male and the other way round are aware that they are / were medically considered their biological sex for the purposes of preventive medical examinations? So you are changing the traditionally accepted description for everyone, i.e. huge majority because not the tiny minority, but the minority of the tiny minority insist on their "lived gender" terminology over medical prevention? Call me conservative but that sounds absolutely bonkers to me.

That's fair enough, we all draw the line somewhere.

 

I'm happy enough to be called a person with a *penis if it makes someone else's life easier, but I get the counter arguments.

Just googled it. I think I'm intersex 

 

So what does intersex look like?

1. a clitoris that's larger than expected.
2. a penis that's smaller than expected.
3. no vaginal opening.
4. a penis without a urethra opening at the tip (the opening might instead be on the underside)
5. labia that are closed or otherwise resemble a scrotum.
6. a scrotum that is empty and resembles labia.

"Expected" is a subjective term mate.

One of the issues is that if you change your sex on your medical records you don’t get the usual reminders.  So regular mammograms or smear test reminders for example.  It would be easier to have sex and gender markers on your records but that’s not enough for the TRA. ‘Trans women are women’ is the mantra.

She's definitely trans.

 

Or is it the guy's vagina we're looking at?

 

Am they getting it right?!

That reminds me, I've got a light switch to install.

It certainly makes life / work easier for right wing populist politicians.

I was talking to Mrs Willard last night about JK Rowling. She is the most successful female author of all time, gives £100s of millions to charity but because she dared to speak out against a tiny number of activists she gets death threats from nutters and has been quietly dropped from mainstream media. When was the last time she was on question time or interviewed by the BBC ? The hardy potter reunion on Sky didn’t invite her either. 
 

I think it’s a terrible inditement of our moral character as a society that we have just stood by and just watched this shit happen to a successful women. Our grandfathers stood up to the Nazi war machine, we are too scared to stand up to a few nutters in their mums frocks on the internet. It’s shameful. 

Lol, that was like reading a Daily Mash article or Viz top tip letter.

 

Ahahaha, comparing JK Rowling's suffering to world war 2.

 You’re just going from thread to thread trying to provoke a reaction. It’s boring.

Eddie Izzard, who is a woman, is playing a man on a Netflix film out now.  He plays the man perfectly.  It’s almost as if…

Hang on. Straight people can’t play gay or Trans people but trans can play straight people?

Trans women ARE women.  So this is an actual woman playing a man so well it deserves an award. 
 

But, yes.  Eddie Redmayne apologised for play a TW, didn’t Scarlett Johansen have to leave a role playing one. But Eddie, she’s fine.  This is how mental it is, you are being asked to ignore the facts and accept the lies. Like a religion

Pregnant people?  Self identify as pregnant?  Mental. 
 

 

[Mudface]

"Self-identify" as pregnant? Since when was being pregnant an identity?

That mealy-mouthed 'pregnant people' bit reminds me of a story in the Guardian some time ago, with a breathlessly excited headline about a man giving birth. I remember thinking, 'that's amazing, how have surgeons managed to do that?'. Read the article, and all it was was a female who'd decided to live as a man (whatever that means), and had gotten pregnant. So fucking what?

I mean now we've all been put in our pigeon holes, towers, boxes etc, are we any more closer to eradicating that which separates us all?

 

All these initiative just seem to do is drive people further apart and divisive as ever.

That appears to be the aim sadly.

When it trouser suits.

[Rico1304]

This seems sensible.  Note the requirement for a commitment to the transition.
