So rejecting gender stereotypes proves Jo is queer? Because rejecting oppressive gender norms means she must be lesbian, bisexual or trans? I have many questions... them.us/story/little-w…
Jo is expected to conform to rigid gender expectations of womanhood. Jo is a tomboy. Jo has a thing called a 'personality' & feels trapped by these stereotypes. Jo says she cannot “get over [her] disappointment in being a woman.” Jo is obviously transgender.

In the UK Always ignores women when we beg them to sell unscented pads that don't stink of pot pourri bc we don't want a perfumed vag.
In Africa they ignore women begging them to sell pads that don't cause them *actual physical harm*
@LogicalMarcus I always said TWAW because I understood it as a courtesy to treat trans women who had transitioned so as to be read by society as women to alleviate gender dysphoria AS women - not that they were literally female & the very definition of woman should be rewritten to include males
@LogicalMarcus When we were told you don't have to transition to be trans, that woman is now simply a belief system, material reality is irrelevant, a woman is 'anyone who identifies as a woman' (brexit means Brexit anyone?) How can we define women's rights if we can't define who is a woman?
Board certified orthopaedic surgeon Dr. Johnny Benjamin said of the IOC ruling that "There is no firm scientific basis to support that conclusion. They made an arbitrary determination in the face of social pressure."
bloodyelbow.com/platform/amp/2…@sharrond62 Otago University physiology professor Alison Heather says that the IOC rushed decisions re trans athletes competing in female categories, basing restrictions & regulations on a single study of 8 non-elite recreational runners
@VictoriaPeckham@PatrickStrud I always said TWAW because I understood it as a courtesy to treat trans women w/ gender dysphoria AS women. Not that it meant they were literal women, & if I disagreed that biology existed or lesbians were bigots if they don't do dick, I was a transphobe who should die in a fire

Miscarriages and toilets. CW - graphic thread about miscarriages, incredibly sensitive topic (I know, I've been there). Do women really suffer miscarriages in public toilets or is this a "crazy topic" made up by GC feminists to advance a transphobic agenda?
This was the question posed by @RipTaraWB, arguing that this was "a feminist brain fart of attack" on trans women. Are miscarriages in toilets a TERF weapon to attack trans women? Or is a real trauma and NOT all about trans women?

@MRKHvoice@STILLTish@janeclarejones IVF is still more likely to fail than it is to succeed, 1 in 4 known pregnancies ends in miscarriage (70% including biochemical pregnancies). If we could get infertile females (like me) pregnant first that would be progress...
@MRKHvoice@STILLTish@janeclarejones ...if male pregnancy means trans men then there is no medical mystery there as that's an individual with a female reproductive system conceiving and sustaining a pregnancy

OK so just so I'm clear. Chromosomes don't determine who's a woman. Genitals don't determine who's a woman. Secondary sex characteristics don't determine who's a woman. Biological processes don't determine who's a woman. A certificate might do (but isn't necessary).
Is there anything apart from a feeling that 'I identify as a woman' that makes one a woman? Is there a reason we should have any provision for sex or gender at all (facilities, services, legal rights & protections) if the only thing that makes someone a woman is a belief?
