stick together period havers (and not period havers women)

Also girls and old ladies. Periods only last... for a period in a woman's live.

Nobody feels threatened by you. You just aren't women. Basic human biology won't change because you feel like it.

@Swan-NIIICE! You are def awesome!

why is only the word woman erased and "men" are not called prostate havers? so yes, erasing women linguistically IS a problem. secondly, since transwomen are physically male and have been socialized as males, they are a rush for women. as can be seen in women's prisons (Karen White for example) and in women's sports (lia Thomas for example). transwomen actually DO threaten us. with murder and rape. and that is violence. "i don't want to have sex with a d**k" on the other hand, is not actually violence.

Erasing women linguistically is a problem. That’s the only thing I agree with you about, and it seems for different reasons. “Trans women DO threaten us” LOL are you serious! Shame on you. The world has grown up and is moving forward without you and your old school ways of thinking, go back to 1935 with that s**t. You’ll be forgotten so fast, or at least only remembered for being a crappy human who gleefully tried to make life harder for marginalized people, who couldn’t accept that humanity progresses. Your progressive grandchildren in 2045+ will be so proud that you are their ancestor 🙄. There’s always a few people who can’t keep up, we collectively gonna progress on without you, bye. No, trans women haven’t all been socialized as males - the whole point is that people who identify as female are HAVING A HARD TIME BEING RAISED/SOCIALISED AS MALE because they don’t identify as such. Are you seriously trying to hint that you think trans women are just weird horny men ready to rape any woman they can have easy access to? Cause I think the very vast majority of women, trans or otherwise, know what it’s like to be abused and are just trying to live their damn lives like every other woman. If you’re that terrified, maybe you should think about WHY you’re so scared - is it because you’re scared of what some men are capable of? (Sure not all men, but let’s be real for a sec here, you didn’t instantly think about a woman threatening you and that’s my point so don’t @ me about “not all men.”) Also, that whole “male socialization” thing is a hugely shitty issue in society and that’s a whole other discussion. But honestly f**k right off with your b******t. Some people rape other people, it’s primarily a male problem but you can’t falsely generalize about one group and then, when called out, point to the 1 or 2 very, very rare exceptions and act like that absolutely proves your point. That’s a crappy thing to try to do. A woman being born male once a long time ago doesn’t pose a safety threat to you, what a shitty thing to say. If any woman, trans or otherwise, is reading this, I hope this doesn’t hurt you - you have allies that are definitely standing up for you every time. UGH rant over, sorry everybody else.

Transwomen (and especially transwomen of colour) are one of the most threatened groups of people on the planet. They're targeted by violence on a massive scale. There's no evidence what so ever that they rape or murder more than ciswomen. They're most likely to be victims of it. No-one is making you sleep with them or have a relationship with them. But saying they threaten you as a group by their existence is factually incorrect and extremely harmful.

Oh f*****g shut up you bag of week old horse cum WAIT I WAS TRYINF TO RESPOND TO VALERIE F**K

It seems as though transsexuals feel threatened by the mere reality of females. I care not whether you exist or not. I do care when our biology is denied because your feelings might be hurt by reality. There is no "period Havers". People who have periods are females, as in the female reproductive system. It has nothing to do with your gender identity so stop gaslighting us with your nonsense about us being threatened by you. You are the one who feels threatened that your identity might not be synonymous with reality so you use language to erase the reality of biological females. Stop confusing sex with gender and there won't be a problem.

Seems to me you do feel somehow threatened as you're the one bringing this up, I genuinly do not understand why. A minority group, that in many parts of the world still faces regular abuse simply for being who they are, speaking up for themselves doesn't deminish womanhood or threaten your biology in any way, shape or form. We should speak up for them, support them or at the very least just let them be. They do not deserve or warrrant your criticism.

dang, you know gender and sex is different, but you doing it all wrong, and there is a problem, you.

“Woman” is a gender and not a sex. Don’t let this person make you feel bad, they clearly are out of touch.

Gender and sex are the same thing. Gender was used on words to denote whether they were masculine or feminine till very recently. When you are born, you are a boy or you are a girl. This is very basic stuff. There are many proven differences both physically and physiologically between the two sexes. The problem here is the changing of definitions and the rejection of basic fact.

If we want to talk about reality: the ones who are being literally erased are trans people, especially trans women. You don't like the phrase 'period havers'? Well, I don't like my loved ones being killed. Maybe you could just be kind to us, while we're still around. Sound fair?

Wow way to escalate. Because I reject your believe that you are something you are not I'm going to downright murder you? We can disagree without killing each other.

interestingly enough transwomen are much more visible than transmen. how do you explain this?

That’s a different argument. Come off this “whataboutism” b******t.

Beautifully said 👏

Oh come off it. Transmen and nonbinary people can get periods, too. Someone's bodily functions doesn't define their gender. More significantly, Valerie, you are not the gatekeeper to gender.

"women" is a sex and not a gender.

Ok didn't realize "men" were being referred to and while we are on the subject would you please explain non-binary?

My explanation may not be 100% correct, but from what people have told me and from what I've heard, a nonbinary person is someone who does not identify fully with either gender. If I'm incorrect, someone please correct me. I do not wish to be misinformed

That sums it up, Egg :)

A trans-man is someone whose sex at birth is female, but identifies as male; if they haven't had gender reassignment surgery, they probably also have to deal with periods.
