Okay so can I turn it on its head and say I want the ‘Transvagina Diaries’ banned because I find it will ’Erase the experience of women who DO have vaginas’, no? Thought not!
This is my problem, Medz. Of course, trans people should be able to explore and describe their own unique experiences through theatre etc. But so should women! The Vagina Monologues, a wonderful, groundbreaking, vitally important work, is almost impossible to stage now without accusations of transphobia. Because, as we know, women simply existing is transphobic now.
What I don't understand is why Ensler didn't write in some segments for TIFs ("trans men"). Still a vagina. Includes a trans person. For some reason, this occurred to no one.
Sheesh, the term witch-hunt used to be an analogy for singling out dissenters, it is now a literal thing.
Glinner, I think of all the work you do for this cause, and the quote about the triumph of evil and men who do nothing comes to mind. I am thankful every day for all that you and the rest of us here are doing in holding the line against this madness. That's why we can't give up or lose hope. What we are doing matters. A lot.
Beautifully put, Loretta. Graham is an absolute legend. And there is so much at stake, we must all continue to hold back the tide. We WILL get there, I'm sure.
My workplace (NHSE&I) are making quite a big deal of Trans Day of Visibility and are ramping up the pressure for everyone to use pronouns in their email signatures.
When I'm asked to add pronouns to my email signature or I refuse on the grounds that I don't feel comfortable enforcing speech and that other people should be at liberty to describe me as they see fit. (But I'm a freelancer so, ultimately, it's my decision. I sympathise with your predicament.)
its nothing but empty headed virtue signalling - and if you get hassled theres a few orgs out there that can put together a letter as to why you wont be doing it
Feministinhiding if you're on Mumsnet, they are excellent at giving you the right wording so you won't feel coerced into nodding along with the insanity of gender ideology.

It’s making me want to stage a production. In Scotland.
Count me in!

I guess that's because nobody gives a toss about transmen. It's all about validating transwomen & protecting their hurty gendah feelz.
It also erases the experience of TIMs who don't have a mangina, namely nearly all of them.
Were I being particularly provocative, I'd suggest that transvaginas usually come with balls...

Life has so much poetry:
My heart is loudly pounding as I crouch to start the race
The hate I feel for women hidden from my passive face
The odds are in my favour of that I can be sure
Let's hope my cock stays hidden and doesn’t dangle to the floor
So does it really matter that my thighs are thick and wide
it’s part of my t-anatomy and I look on them with pride
As I destroy the competition and there’s plenty who’ll agree
That I’m deserving my glory and my place in history
It really doesn’t matter that I’m a beardy with a cock
What really matters is how I look in this dam fine pretty frock
So I’ll laugh at all you haters with the anger in your eyes
Because it really doesn’t matter that I’m here to steal your prize
*APPLAUDS*
Can’t lie, some horrible knock backs this week. But up we get and on we go ✊🏼.
Absolutely Issy. The fighting is rounds. We've lost a few rounds, but we haven't lost the match. We come out of our corners punching.
I can't.... things seems to get better but no, they are worse.
Oh don't despair! I honestly think we're making progress. The fight isn't over but we're winning more rounds than we used to!

Urgh 🙄
Jesse ‘Syme’ surely
What does "Syme" mean?
He’a a character in 1984 who followed the party line until one day it turned on him and he was no more
