TiF is really pleased to get mistaken for a man by doctors. When TiF is nearly killed because doctors think she's a man it's all their fault. by jet199 in GenderCritical

“You can register as male or female, but you can still only choose between these two options – you can’t say if you are transgender or non-binary,” explains Kamilla Kamaruddin, a doctor who works for the National Health Service (NHS) and transgender woman. “So that’s quite difficult.”

Wow, it's almost like biology is an actual, observable thing, and gender is not!

It's terrifying that this dude is a doctor and he holds these beliefs to be "truth".

I like how that last guy thinks that pumping himself full of dangerous drugs and developing "breasts" is totally biologically natural. No, dude, your body is not "developing" breasts. The foreign estrogen is wreaking havoc on your body and you are experiencing side effects.

The insanity is so real.

I am a stay at home mom in my early 30s,with two amazing young daughters. I don't really think I'm a feminist, but I of course support the idea that women are strong, smart and can do anything they want. But, I do think that the trans cult is damaging our children.

My husband and I have a friend who is transitioning from male to female, and while I have no problem with her as a person, I am starting to see that she has really drunk the kool-aid. She claims that "trans people know themselves better than almost every cis person" because they have "done research" to find out who they truly are. This friend also flies off the handle and thinks every little thing someone says Must be an attack on her. She says when someone calls her by her old name (which is her last name, not even a masculine sounding name) she gets eye twitches and it "brings up painful memories of her fabricated male persona". Like, come on. Get over yourself.

I seriously think her paranoia is a sign that she didn't get proper therapy or medication before she started her hormones, and now she's just using her lack of self-confidence to cry foul on people. It's very worrisome to me.

Anyway, I look forward to meeting more women (especially mothers) who share these concerns, and finding ways to make sure my daughters are safe growing up.

There are so many red flags in your post that you could probably see them from space.

This man is disgusting, and your mom should not let him be around you anymore. I would try to talk to her about it first. Tell her all the things he has done and said and you feel uncomfortable around him. Tell your mom that you do not want to be near him anymore.

Hopefully your mom is reasonable, as most parents will put their child's safety over a friend's happiness. But if your mom claims that he's harmless or means nothing by it, then you need to need to take it upon yourself to protect you and your sisters.

If your mom arranges "play dates", refuse to go or make other plans. If he comes over your house, ttake your bike and go to a friend's house. Physically remove yourself at every chance

If he starts following or stalking you, call the police.

I feel so bad for that mother. She knows her daughter better than any stranger on the internet, and they're trying to shit all over her saying things like "it's not a cry for attention" and "this didn't come out of the blue, she's been thinking about it for a long time". Like, what the actual hell?

If I was 12, and my mom got pregnant again, I'd sure as hell be confused and looking for affection or attention. And if I knew "being trans" got me showered with love, I would do it.

I also like one commenter saying "cis kids don't ever question their gender" come on, man. Of course they do. Especially when puberty hits! Puberty sucks, being a pre-teen sucks, suddenly getting a kid sibling sucks, school sucks. This girl probably has so many questions, and no one is giving her answers, just mantras.

A Surefire Recipe for Celibacy: Publish a Sanctimonious Article Titled, "I’m Trans and Nonbinary: Here’s What I Want Cis People To Know About Having Sex With Me" by MarkTwainiac in GenderCritical

[–]TurtleFuzz 25 insightful - 1 fun25 insightful - 0 fun26 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

As a trans, nonbinary, agender person, navigating sex and pleasure is often challenging. That’s in large part a reflection of the lacking sex education young people get (if they get any at all) and patriarchal perspectives about sex and dating that center the cisgender, heterosexual experience.

Do people forget that the most common reason people date is to find a mate? It's our instinct to find mating partners and procreate.

Obviously, not everyone wants to have children, or even get married, and that's fine. But that seemingly disgusting, normie "cisgender heterosexual experience" is how the majority of people are born.

When it came time for my oldest daughter to be born, I had a fairly quick and easy labor and delivery, about 12 hrs total. My friends and family joked that the next one would be born in the car lol.

Well, 2nd daughter is ready and my labor progressed so quickly that it was almost precipitous labor. It was 5 hrs total, and most definitions of precipitous labor I saw were 3hrs or less. But anyway, she came out in 2 pushes, and didn't spend a long time in the birth canal. She came out so fast she had windburn on her cheeks lol.

When it came time for her 1 day old checkups, the nurse said her oxygen levels were low and she had to go into the nursery for monitoring. The in-house pedi said she had some fluid in her lungs, and it's likely amniotic fluid that wasn't squeezed out properly during labor. But they needed to run tests to rule out pneumonia or a heart condition. The hospital didn't have the right equipment to do an echocardiogram, so my baby had to be transferred to the regional children's hospital by herself.

Having my 1 day old baby taken from me was devastating. I never felt such powerful, wracking sadness. I felt like I had failed her, by not giving birth "the right way". For a while I felt like I would never stop crying.

Then a voice in my head said "Get your act together, your baby needs you. Let's get shit done". So my husband and I spent the next 3 days in the NICU, staying near my baby and sleeping on a cot in a dorm attached to the hospital. I was still exhausted from giving birth, but I pumped and went to breastfeed my daughter whenever the nurses said she seemed hungry.

We were blessed that there were no complications, and all her tests came back fine. It's been over a year and she is still doing great, no problems at all.

The emotions I felt that day are reserved only for women: sadness, bravery, determination to do anything for their baby. No man will ever know what I felt. And that's something that I am proud of.

This guy sounds like a coward. He is afraid that he might be wrong, and therefore shuts down the conversation before hearing the other side. You did the right thing though, by trying to give real examples of how this ideology hurts women.

I hate making generalizations, but I think a lot of people your age are like this. Growing up on the internet has twisted everyone. I'm in my early 30s, and my husband and I only got smart phones about 5 years ago. We both changed for the worse lol.

As someone who used to work in HR, I would suggest just keeping as low a profile as you possibly can. Like Habesnicht correctly said, you don't want any kind of harassment on your professional record.

You mentioned he sometimes makes rude comments to/about you. If you ever get any emails or other written proof of these comments, definitely keep them. If you and another coworker hear him say something sexist, try to see if the coworker will go with you to your own HR dept and file a complaint. Witnesses are always helpful.

Other than that, just be very careful around this guy. It seems like he might be onto you and might try to bait/trap you into saying something that could be misconstrued.

If any current HR professionals want to correct me or add on, please do. I've been out of work for over 3.5 years, once my oldest was born.

I think this is one of those things where it "needs to happen to you". When I was in college over a decade ago, I was very socially progressive and supported transgender ideas and movements. But as I got older (and smarter) I learned that the trans movement is hiding a lot of things from their very own members. And I peaked only recently, once a close friend came out as trans.

But once I cut ties with that friend, now my husband and another mutual male friend have experienced this TiM's excessive narcissist behavior firsthand. And now they are both seriously rethinking their friendship with this TiM also.

I've never had this happen to me, as I never really used public changing rooms. When I went to work out, I always changed at home.

But if it happens in the future, I plan to immediately leave and tell the front desk or manager or whoever that I will not be coming back if men are allowed in the changing/bathrooms. I won't say anything to the TiM, because I wouldn't want to risk any act of violence against me or my daughters, if they are with me.

I also plan to teach my daughters that if a boy comes in the bathroom, to leave and tell a teacher. They should only physically fight if the boy does something first. I don't like the idea of my daughters becoimg victims, but I do not want them expelled or arrested instead. I'm not an anxious person, but this keeps me up at night sometimes :/

I don't think you're biased, because your boss is obviously treating you differently than everyone else. You don't dislike him because he's trans; you dislike him because he's an asshole.

But the "research" she claims to have done is "pore through mountains of books on philosophy, world religions, biology, psychology and neuroscience". I agree it's a pretty ridiculous claim :) However, if she ever makes any comments about her penis or man boobs around my daughters, she is going to see how angry a mother can get I guarantee it.

As a former HR representative for a few international companies, this is exactly right. Every company in the world is tripping over themselves to be inclusive and as open-minded as possible.

This person probably didn't get a job offer because they didn't have the necessary skills. It's as simple as that!

Also, are they non-binary or trans? Maybe I'm just a dum-dum, but wouldn't that be an oxymoron? Lol

Maybe men nowadays think that because women are out and about in their space, that must mean we don't want our own space! Because we all know how that went down with "women-only train cars"!

That's definitely an interesting read, thanks for sharing. I can understand why men didn't want women to have bathrooms to try and keep them at home.

But I don't think that most women today would want all unisex bathrooms? The author claims that since men and women are allowed in public spaces together, that means we should move past these archaic notions of women wanting a "protected space where they could rest". It just seems so weird to me.

What do you do when there are trans women you actually like? by ImPiqued1111111 in GenderCritical

I think you should treat everyone with respect as long as they do the same to you. Basic Golden Rule stuff. If your friends are still polite and care about you, then you should absolutely still be friends with them.

You can check my post about losing a TIM "friend" because he made a sexist comment about me and claimed I was a TERF. Up until then, he was still respectful. Annoying, yes, but never made any disgusting comments. But eventually he showed his true face and I had to dump his ass. You can do that too, if you ever see any harmful behavior from these friends. But until then, just enjoy their company.

Thanks so much for your kind wishes! And yes, omg, he also does the downward head tilt with the eyes looking up! It's such an awful look for anyone lol!

Unfortunately I don't remember if he was going off on is weekly. I deleted his texts and blocked his number because he kept spamming my phone. But it was definitely happening a lot more often. It was probably due to the withdrawal. I would also love to see if anyone has evidence of this trend.

And as far as the clothing goes, one of my male friends, who runs as his exercise of choice, also chimed in saying running shorts would be better than yoga pants. He also got the "mansplaining" thrown at him, but the runner friend was also correct. This dude just didn't like to be told that yoga pants are not good except as shapewear lol

My husband supports me, as he thinks this Tim has been really annoying with his witch hunts among our friend group. I told my husband if he wants to continue to see this guy, it will not be in our house.

A user on Ovarit got some screens of kids trying to justify rape culture because "not dating trans people is transphobic".

I really hope these kids step on a rake. Promoting rape and dismissing someone's sexual orientation is disgusting.

It's appalling that this even needs to be said. Of course mothers know their children best!

Are there truly transphobic and homophobic parents out there? Of course. But not letting your kids take dangerous drugs, run off with pedophiles and make themselves sterile is not transphobic. It's good parenting.

New study confirms: Gender Diverse show much higher rates of autism by BEB in GenderCritical

[–]TurtleFuzz 9 insightful - 1 fun9 insightful - 0 fun10 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Nearly 70 percent of autistic gender-diverse adolescents say they need medical gender-related care, according to a small 2018 study, and 32 percent say their gender identity has been questioned because of their autism diagnosis.

“It’s really, really distressing to read sometimes, where you have people who have very strong gender dysphoria and want to transition, and their therapist says, ‘Well, we need to first cure your autism before we transition,’ which is wrong on all levels,” Warrier says. “We want this study to really demonstrate that both of these things can co-occur, and just because these things co-occur does not mean that one should be denied.”

What therapist actually thinks that autism is something you can cure? Do they also think you can catch it, too? This really makes me concerned, does the study investigator (as he is mentioned) know what autism is?

I get he wants to protect autistic children and teens, but allowing them to disregard safety and future health for immediate satisfaction is not the way to help these kids.

Good idea to have a term for non-super people? by Ambik in SuperStraight

I saw a lot of support for just calling them straight/gay/lesbian/bi.

They can keep that term, because the meaning has changed to include trans people. Which is totally fine,everyoneis free to date and have sex with whoever they want.

I say just leave them aloneand maybe they will leave us alone.

[Vent] Vent about myself by iloveyou in GenderCritical

It's OK to be uncomfortable sometimes. Nobody can go through life being completely happy and safe. Humans have learned to adapt and cope.

Does it feel scary not knowing all the answers? Heck yes. Does this mean we should immediately question everything we know about ourselves and change our entire lives? No.

If you're not on board with traditional/stereotypical feminine things, that's totally fine! That doesn't mean you are a boy.

For example, I love knitting, cooking and staying at home with my kids. I also love video games and anime, and I hate makeup, and don't often shave my legs or armpits. You can have diverse interests and self-expression and still be a woman.

Before peaking, how much of an ally were you? by Dravidian in GenderCritical

[–]TurtleFuzz 8 insightful - 1 fun8 insightful - 0 fun9 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

I still believe that everyone should be treated with respect, even if they are transgender. Of course, if they do/say something rude, they lose all respect from me. Golden rule stuff.

Before I peaked, I was in the neutral/supportive camp. I tried to just be nice to people, especially if they were suffering from an illness that made them so uncomfortable in their own bodies. I didn't donate to causes or attend rallies or anything.

When a close friend came out as a TIM, I was happy for him and tried to be supportive. Giving advice, lots of compliments, etc. Then he said I was mansplaining to him and said I was always a TERF.

That, coupled with the apparent willingness of the woke-folks to experiment on children and allow any man to self-ID into women's spaces, really tied me over the edge. I now think that the huge push for trans-ing everyone is fueled only by money, and gullible idiots are falling for it.

I like the one person who says "it is OK for a young girl to refer to herself as a woman". I don't know a single woman who thought this as a child? Most girls don't want to grow up because women have a lot of shit to deal with on a daily basis.

Keep dreaming, gross dude. I'm sure it's his wet dream to meet a child who says they are an adult. So fucking moronic.

I'm so sorry that this happened to you. As others have said, it is NOT your fault. I would follow their advice about never seeing this guy, blocking him, speaking with a therapist, getting a medical exam, and talking with someone you can trust.

I had a similar situation happen to me, with my husband, and it's a confusing situation. I also felt bad about saying no, because I love my hub and it did feel a little good. Luckily, my husband and I had many serious discussions after that, and he agreed that what he did was wrong, and promised to listen to me during sex. It's been over 5 years and he's never done that to me again. But like I said, I am lucky that he learned and listened to me. Not a lot of men learn or listen. So it's best to cut this guy out of your life.

Are there such things as "femininity" and "masculinity" or are they just imaginary things humans made up? by Nohope in GenderCritical

[–]TurtleFuzz 8 insightful - 1 fun8 insightful - 0 fun9 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

My two cents here: I think a lot of traditional feminine/masculine traits are still based on biology. If you look at other animals, there are usually easily discernable differences between males and females. Being able to find the opposite gender makes it easier to find a mate and procreate.

I fully support people's decisions to adopt or reject gender norms as they see fit. You are a male who likes makeup? Sweet! You are a female who likes cars and trucks? Awesome! Nobody should come along and tell you "YoU mUsT bE tRaNs!!" just because your personality isn't gender nonconforming. It's frankly silly.
