Does anyone else feel that there is no normality anymore? It’s not a chaotic state of anomie. It feels like a deliberate shift in the plates of society. I am truly furious.

"whether you consider transwomen to be female or not"

Bloody hell, is this the same Pink News that described "adult human female" as a disturbing and hateful dog whistle?

I do wonder at times whether they've really thought this through.

I can answer those questions unequivocally - no and no. just like the majority of the world can, apart from delusional and destructive TWAWsers.

Careful now, Ryan might encourage transwomen to boycott the site if he doesn't get his way.

'non-binary people'. Hm that would be MEN then, eh?

Oh, and they took the word 'woman', and that wasn't enough, so 'female' had to go to men too. Hateful

Grindr is for men no matter what they choose to call themselves. Women are just not allowed to have any space exclusively for themselves, either in the real world or even online. Enough already.

I really appreciate that Sal Grover not only created an app for girls and women, but also made sure that, through A.I. facial recognition software, only females could access it. BUT, that name..."Giggles"! There is no way I'd ever access a girl/women "empowering" app with that title. "Giggles" seems to scream that girls and women are not to be taken seriously.

Maybe the name was supposed to keep men away? Obviously hasn't worked. Maybe something like 'f**ck off men!' would be better. :)

There needs to be an app called “Head Tilt”. Only the likes of India and Grace need apply for membership.

Ah yes, the head tilt. All women do it all the time. I have a permanent crick in my neck from head tilting all day. :D

Ha haaaa! I snorted my coffee reading this!

I hate the name too. I've never giggled once in my life not even as a kid. Interestingly I have been admonished as "unladylike" for my "manly" laugh and my loud sneezes by parents and teachers.

The issue I have with it, is that all seems a bit close to that pink n fluffy "feminine" feeling that the trans community seems to think embodies adn defines being a woman.

Just vented on Pink News Facebook page but still seething.

Gawwwd they're such bullies! I swear it's bionic high school shite. Sall's going to eat them for dinner! Eeeediots.

Just in case any biology deniers from Pink News are reading, there is no such thing as "trans female" (or "trans woman"). Female is a biological class that excludes males, by definition. It is rooted in fundamental biology, and no amount of wishing will make it different - it is as futile as claiming that you are a "trans sparrow". I sincerely hope that Giggl has some way of keeping men pretending to be women off the platform.

Seething angry about the "female" comment. Wrote a short verse about actual females, who over a hundred years ago fashioned the Suffragette's Penny:

With female force the stamp did land,

A woman's stand that message spread.

Words that burned on sovereign head

Were passed from hand to hand -

The Penny turned

Do you think men are female? I would say pink news is now become the equivalent of The Watchtower magazine but that would be an insult to my local JW’s who know I don’t believe the same as them and don’t insult me for it on our doorstep chats (at least pre covid when they still came round)

This is why they call Pink News "Prick News."
