Since ‘Her’ accepted my deeply held inner special gender feeling honest guv that I am in fact, a woman, I’ve realised that too many cis people are talking about trans issues and that’s not allowed.
You are joking, but honestly, as a lesbian, i would have no problem with any male bodied person, what they want to do with their body or attire, if they kept to this code.
OMG I'd be totally happy with men who wanted to dress as women if they would sign up to such a charter. I used to like Eddie when he was a good old fashioned transvestite. And I loved drag queens - pre trans - because they were flamboyant showmen. I'd even stop taking the piss - although I don't tend to take the piss out of the former anyway, and I only renamed Eddie "Ugly Lizzard" after he came out as "a girl", won the "funniest woman" award (fuck off) and is planning on standing as MP - which I suspect is the only reason he came out as "trans".
Actually on the Green Party Of Wales post TWAW 29.1.21 I posted this (copied it first as I suspected they'd delete it - they did) - "If Trans Women are Women, then Women are Trans Women. Therefore I assume I may make a statement on their/our Trans Women/Women behalf. I of course condemn those Trans Women/Women who seek to take political party seats/sports awards/business awards/privacy/dignity from our sisters, but I will point out few Trans Women/Women would ever consider doing this, as we are protective of our sisterhood and understand the centuries old, current, and future subjugation of our gender. We Trans Women/Women respect the sisterhood. As Trans Women/Women we are protective of our "weaker"/"gentler" sex. We certainly won't stoop so low as to snatch even the position of underdog from our sisters. You might not be so aware of our compassionate members' views, because they dare not speak their name for fear of being screeched at for being terfs or transphobes, and on the receiving end of hatred. But we are here, quietly living our lives and wishing the Trans Rights Activists (most of whom we doubt are genuine Trans Women/Women) would shut up as they're making our lives so much more complicated and miserable." Challenging but inoffensive I thought?
Aww ta! Yes I am a Tessa. My closet terf friend thought of the handle. I wanted something with "fist" in it but concluded that might be open to misinterpretation ;-) . So instead opted for a Rosie the Riveter profile pic.
Sharon Davies interviewed on Allison Pearson, Liam Halligan Telegraph podcast. 'Planet Normal' last week. About German athletes she competed against and the testosterone their coaches made them take. She talks about the Tokyo Olympics and the IOC rules. The transwomen athletes have to get to 10 nanomoles of testosterone, a level which would get a female athlete banned for doping. Worth listening. Made me think, what is to stop a country sending a full team of transwomen athletes instead of women?
Holy shit. I feel very sorry for the athletes competing against them but it would bring the whole topic to a head maybe. Part of me wants it to happen.
I've already been chastised on that score many times already. "STAY IN YOUR OWN LANE!" they holler at me. Fortunately, I have a pre-prepared counter-argument to holler back at them: " Go fuck yourselves!". Works every time 😁

Many old school transsexuals did, and still do.

I LOVE your handle !! I am a real Tess and I wish I'd thought of this

As puns go it's a beauty 😉
Bravo Graham, one of your best posts yet 👏

If I saw this picture without knowing who either Eddie or Graham was, but I knew that one of them was taking the piss, I’d guess it was Eddie ..
So, if Eddie finds your profile on Her, and doesn't want a date with you because of your appendages, he is a transphobe? Is that right?
Why wouldn’t Eddie totally sign up to this?

Good piece
