Hey, CL Minou: a so-called "transwoman" is a man.

TFIFY.

What does TFIFY mean?

Ah.

It means: "There, fixed it for you."

It's one of the rare internet slang terms that I actually know!

I'm always racing to Urban Dictionary these days to try to keep up with the constantly-changing internet abbreviations and terms du jour.

Another useful one is YMMV -- which stands for "Your mileage may vary," indicating to someone that thus-and-such has been my experience but it might not be yours.

🤣 I just had to go and look up LMFAO in a substack post! Quite a useful one for these post-Supreme Ct ruling days! 🤣

Absolutely! Oh yes! I forgot how helpful Urban dictionary can be.

Hard to count the number of misinterpretations that appear in this whining diatribe. I love it when men explain feminism. Makes me realise where I've been going wrong all these years...oh wait! No. It doesn't.

Only a man could lie so effortlessly, and still be so patronising 🤷‍♀️😆

I love your honesty, Julie: ‘Muppet’ is indeed the perfect word 🙏💜🤍💚

Wazzock. Love it! I have known a few transsexual women most of my life and call them friends. They have never lied go me or anyone else about who and what they are. If times had been different, they would have lived their lives as gay men. This is the part of their lives that pains them the most. Three of them grew up in the US Bible belt within 150 miles of each other with pastor fathers and "doormat" mothers. When they became teenagers, they knew they preferred males to females and each father sent his son to Argentina for surgery to make him the woman he should have been! They "escaped" to New York and met each other after being kicked out of the family home for being "unnatural" after their surgeries, and from there came to the UK. They all live down south now and we had a collective call when the Supreme Court ruling was announced. They wanted to celebrate commonsense and biology, which is what we did with cheap fizzy wine (me) and champagne (them). Some men actually get it!

I'm glad some do! Most cross-dressing men (or trans-women as they call themselves now and I refuse to) are heterosexual I believe, hence the very pornified way they present themselves and the autogynaphilia.

The tragedy of "gender affirming care" in a nutshell. That it exploded from the Bible Belt to "progressive" communities all around the world (they are, of course, anything but) is astonishing, and even more deeply tragic.

Imagine being subjected to it by your own family! That is a simply evil expression of homophobia.

Is there an ex-wife and children he fathered in his backstory? Minou's level of falseness prompts the question.

The utter gobshite these people talk. All that effort to avoid the basic truth of sex and that men shouldn't be where they don't belong. Love you Julie!!

This may be the right time to resurrect the term “pervert”. Trans is a made-up word, and it's their chosen word, while pervert has a definitional meaning. Men who keep their dicks and then have the balls to call themselves women meet the definition of “pervert”. What they demand is “pervert privilege”.

From the Cambridge Dictionary…..Pervert..“a person whose sexual behavior is regarded as abnormal and unacceptable”. We need to make it unacceptable once again.

The revisionist view of the stonewall USA riot as a event that inspired a once great, now disgraced U.K. group to name

itself after )were actually led by trans women - rather than gay women or gay men some drag queens

Is as enbaressing

as for his idea trans women suffer misogyny

I recall a gay friend saying what do misogynist men say to this so called group

Phwoar get your girl D1cks out for the lads

Or as Dennis Kavanagh said when the Tory make MO in stockings and a skirt crashed his car “women drivers”

Revisionism: an American here, I was a baby when the Stonewall riots happened, but I have it on good authority that It was Marsha P Johnson, NOT Sylvia Rivera, a black drag queen, who wasn't even there when the riot started. Marsha has stated in interviews that she didn't arrive until about 2 am and describes herself as a "drag queen" and a "boy." To hear the TQ crowd tell it, transwomen of color built the pyramids, sacked Rome, signed the Magna Carta, printed the Gutenberg Bibles, colonized North America and won the Cold-cream War. As if every other homosexxican and all the Lesbomericans were at brunch the whole time.

For the historical record referring to Marsha as she was done out of warmth for respect it wasn’t something he would of expected to be taken serious

Reese's avatar

Thank you, John. That is good to know. When I came out in the late 80's my circle referred to absolutely everyone as she and everybody's name was Mary. Miss that.

Transwomen get criticised for being “too masculine or too feminine”, and women don’t? Try being a tomboy or butch woman in this world and see what shit gets piled onto you. What a pillock!

"She contradicts three of her three feminist principles" and then list four in a numbered list... Sorry but I can't take seriously a person who is so incapable of rereading themselves before publishing.

This is hilarious, you've got to give him credit for invention and victimhood appropriation. The creative way they pull these "statistics" out of their, erm, well forgive me I've forgotten what they're calling their backsides these days (bonus holes?) Absolute bloody DARVO. All this suffering, just show us some F"cking EVIDENCE. Pathetic, shame because it seems to have a brain of sorts, just not a female one. Cope, seethe, dilate. #YWNBAW.

At this point - I just hate read these Prats. I just can't anymore! I am so glad their Men's Sex Rights movement is finally being seen for what it is. And how it is and has always been deeply uncool and creepy.
