The only one coping here is you. If you want to say that you’re a woman, I can’t stop you. No one can. However, you are not entitled to force the rest of us to agree with what is very obviously your opinion.
I am a woman because I am female. You “are a woman” because you say you are. It is not the same thing. Nothing I or anyone else can do will make me cease being a woman. Your “womanhood” only exists when it is acknowledged, and if someday you choose to detransition, it will cease to exist at all in the twinkling of an eye.
My womanhood doesn’t have to be insisted upon or disclosed. I don’t need a pronoun pin. Every person who sees me knows exactly what I am — and dude, they know what you are too.
My womanhood is an objective, physical reality that is evident whether I announce its existence or not. It will outlive me, and can be scientifically tested for. It is not dependent on clothing, the length of my hair, or the state of my makeup. I will still very obviously be a woman if dead, unconscious, and/or naked. My claim to womanhood is an biological, quantifiable, observable reality. Your “womanhood” exists solely within the confines of your head, and the rest of us are supposed to just believe you.
Well, that’s not how it works. You can’t force people to believe things that can’t be objectively verified, or to agree with your opinions. That’s like forcing people to follow your religion, and we don’t do that in a free society.
I am a woman - an adult female human being. You are a man who wishes he wasn’t male. We are not the same, and we never will be. Womanhood is not a commodity you can buy
@salltweets "You fear me because you fear men." So you admit it? You admit you're a man? And you're trying to waltz on in to female only spaces as a man?
@Katy_Faust@Ashworth101 Baby animals get more time legally with their mothers. And yet we expect human babies to develop normally when we take them from the woman who just spent 40 weeks growing it the moment it can breathe.
@SassySouthBlond Okay, but why should women have to fix the problems men created for themselves? Why should we care about helping men when they will only help us if we are attractive to them and they hope to get sex? Women were coddling and babying men for generations, and the bar is in hell.
@Psychgirl211 The bathroom on my floor at work is a disabled bathroom, single occupancy, and I wish I could put signs on the doors of the guys I've seen leave it and when I go in there's piss all over the seat and floor. Your momma doesn't work here. Clean up after yourself.
@listen2tish Convicted rapists are running free after *astoundingly* short times in jail, so sure! If you can definitely prove the accusation was false, give her the same slap on the wrist that males get. Remember Brock Turner? He's free. Srsly, when has an accusation alone *ruined* a man?
@listen2tish Who decides it's false? If they were false accusations, there's a man in the white house and a man on the supreme court who were "falsely accused." Were their lives ruined? What man has been actually ruined by a "false" accusation? There are *convicted* rapists running free.
@OkayBiology I have blood on my hands? For describing males as males? Well...I've heard the blood of virgins has restorative properties, and I'm so very tired.
@ItzikBasman@Michael_AW77@AnneBonnysKat Bruh. It's me, a stranger posting things you disagree with. Can I have your name and address, pretty please? Since I asked politely, you have to provide it, otherwise all of your claims are bunk.
@Gaynotqueer1 They are trying to put themselves in the cage with us, while decorating the cage and saying they love it and it's so affirming for them to be in the cage and isn't it just wonderful we're all in the cage together where they can assault you and it becomes woman on woman crime?
@BlueyAnon@d0wnsideofme JFC, $40 for an effing pizza delivered? Is your toilet paper gold leaf too? If it's over $20, I better be getting more than a pizza and a 2 liter soda. And what pizza place doesn't have delivery drivers already?!
If it was gay men digitally removing the clothing from images posted by straight men, I’ve a sneaky feeling those same men thinking this is an OK thing to do would suddenly & miraculously grasp the concept of consent. Stop pretending you don’t fucking get it, OK 🙄
@TheSolape Yeah, uhh, that age is old enough to understand that other people have feelings and can be hurt. To do all of that and then get away with it? Those kids will be nightmares for everyone around them for the rest of their lives.
@Jebadoo2 Lethal injection in America, torture. Electric chair, torture. Gas, torture. Fire squad, unpredictable. See how anesthesia affects the patient, then anesthetize if applicable and push a lethal dose of morphine. The way we put animals down is more humane than assisted dying ideas.
Dear @Simone_Biles,
The men you came out swinging for do not respect you, in fact they hate you, because you are what they will never be: a woman.
They would remove every one of your rights, with a smile. They cheer as girls lose their spots, their records, their podiums, their scholarships. They are not vulnerable or marginalised, they have the weight of the Democratic Party behind them, they are pandered to by the media, politicians, celebrities. They were able, for quite some years, to completely destroy the life of any person who ever dared question any part of their claims and demands.
There are no babies born in the wrong body. This is an impossibility. Where were you before your body? A male body cannot grow a female brain, and vice versa, the same as a body cannot grow an opposite sex stomach. Human beings are mammals, and we cannot change our sex.
There are men and women, boys and girls, and a century long socio-medical scandal of unparalleled proportions.
I hope you see this, I hope you look into what these men actually want from women and girls, what they actually think of us, and I hope you come out swinging again.
Not for the men and boys this time, but for women and girls, for fair, safe, dignified competition, for the future of female sport.
Your voice could change the game.
@jk_rowling I don't think anyone should be allowed to take bathroom pics or video. Everyone who does that should catch whatever voyeurism charges exist in the area. Locker rooms and saunas and wherever else people might be in states of undress, too.
