It is both that and satire created by a British “comedian” and right-wing troll. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titania_McGrath

as a straight man, I agree. Now that Elliot Page is just another guy, fuck that guy.

This is 100% satire. It’s a troll account created by comedian Andrew Doyle. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titania_McGrath?wprov=sfti1

I believe that is what is referred to as a TERF. Trans-Exclusional Radical Feminist.
Ismellofhockey
If it were serious, then yes.
Mayfly10
No, they accept him as trans and are upset with him being male, not trans. Terfs would either misgender him or be upset about the trans bit.
Ismellofhockey
Ah, true. They would believe trans-men are actually women.

I'm pretty sure it's just satire.
SuperDramaticFusion
It is satire, created and used to make fun of feminists by a right wing troll: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titania_McGrath

Other people are saying it's a joke account so probably, but I wouldn't be able to tell the difference without actually checking. lol

Just a little too on-the-nose for me to believe it's real. But I'm not going to bother checking either. Lol.

What many might not understand is that the joke is not mocking transgendered people. It's mocking Hollywood's ageism towards women.
cosonfused
i know it's satire, but transmen will often talk about how women are now uneasy around them. not because they're trans, but men.
Isiel89
Well… they should talk to the other men in male-only spaces about how they make us women uneasy (women as identifier, not groin parts).

Well, welcome to the gender, I guess

As respectfully as I can ask the question; would you say that you are a man, or a transman? And why?

Welcome to manhood, you are guilty until proven innocent, stay away from kids, women, and anyone who is alone you potential rapist.

And also don’t forget to act affronted when women take necessary precautions because of how such a large portion of men behave.
Cyrilion
Im not, if you look down the comment chain i point out its the right and natural response?
BatmanAndCradleRobin
You don't need to take it to a total delusional incel level. Its more subtle than that in my experience. As men we don't welcome strangers
Cyrilion
Yep, but vulnerable parties react more to it, in general your presence is an unwelcome threat if you are a man and i dont know you
BatmanAndCradleRobin
Its not just women and kids. Men do it too, and for all of them its not just threat, but a casual distance that is sufferable to transmen
BatmanAndCradleRobin
Who never had to deal with it as women. Or at least not that version of it.
Cyrilion
I feel like you're intentionally misreading my comment and hardcore projecting? This is how men are treated, and its reasonable, im 6'4, /1
Cyrilion
I could very seriously hurt someone very easily, if you are alone and i show up i expect you to take notice and be wary because its human /2
BatmanAndCradleRobin
Of course I am projecting, so are you. We are saying our experiences. Its not an active threat detection, its a passive distancing.

I mean, silver lining, they're being accepted as men? But seriously, we need to really sort ourselves out as a species. Women shouldn't 1/

Indeed, I wouldn't know whether I have to take the same precautions with trans men that I do with cis men or not, not enough xp in this area
PorneliusHubertII
Don't trust anyone. Any person of any race/gender is capable of unthinkable shit.
squidiom
But in my experience women aren't a "safe" cohort either necessarily; I've had 2 experiences of women ignoring my No's when I was vulnerable

You are right that I should probably expand my statement to "no person should have to fear another person."

InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
Probably because that's the only way to get other people to treat them the way that gender gets treated.
DoIReallyHaveToChooseOne
In order to be treated as your correct gender, unfortunately some stereotypes have to be followed. Otherwise people say you're "faking it".
TiddyMcGillicuddy
Stereotypes are what gender is. I wish people didn't feel such a disconnect between having one's body and adopting a desired appearance.
LeftRightThere
I’m all for looking how you feel best, but it entrenches the stereotypes which has oppressed those in the first place.
TiddyMcGillicuddy
Exactly! But this is a very unpopular observation right now for the "gender is inborn" crowd.
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
I think you're confusing the fact that we've randomly assigned a bunch of attributes to genders, with the fact that many of those /1
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
attributes are inborn. So if you're a person who likes math, likes physical strength, likes sports, doesn't like caring for kids, etc etc /2
FarkasMacTavish
I mean, if a list of social roles doesn't define gender, then nothing does.
TiddyMcGillicuddy
Right! But what if these roles, called gender, weren't assigned to people based on sex? A more true freedom.
FarkasMacTavish
Then genders don't exist. Either you have a list of a billion different genders, OR gender roles don't matter. Ultimately, a gender is just>
FarkasMacTavish
To reclarify: gender is not prescriptive. It is DEscriptive.
