    In a bizarre series of posts from " The Equality Institute", their latest post in particular seems very strange.
    Take a look for yourselves right here:
    https://www.facebook.com/EqualityInstitute/

    Are there not more pressing in the issues in the world than to be wasting time pushing this garbage? The same crowd also branded penetration as "part of the Patriarchy" :rolleyes:

    Are there any genuine supporters of this type of movement here? as I'd love to hear your viewpoint.:D

    Actually they only mention periods for trans people and non-binaries (i.e. people born biologically female), not your regular average man.

    The actual definition will suit. Well that's cleared up so.

    Well done equality institute. We now know that any person capable of having a period is a woman.

    Unless you’re in denial about the reality of transgender people, none of this strange at all. And if it doesn’t impact you, then what concern is it to you?

    Excuse me?

    The people who are in denial are the ones who know that only women can have periods?

    Excellent. The weekly trans thread. I'm delighted to see if the usual folk of current affairs have changed their opinion on this since last week. I'll be sure to follow.

    Caster Semenya had been designated biologically male by the IAAF, and menstruates. So it’s clearly not so simple.

    The denial is in the gender description.

    The transgender lobby has nothing to do with the point I was responding to.

    Had to look them up. Australian crowd. What disturbs me is all the cartoon people - ahem, cartoon women - holding aloft their used tampons, towels and mooncups while they freebleed into their pants - as illustrated. Ewwww. :(

    ‘Female-at-birth’ should satisfy everyone’s understanding?

    No. That implies that people can choose to no longer be male/female.

    its amazing how people who dont suffer from gender dysphoria are expected to think and act as if they have it by proxy.

    this has nothing to do with courtesy. i do and will continue to use requested pronouns as appropriate. but my mind is my mind and no amount of telling me that i should believe untrue things will make it happen.

    It's impacting us all as members of society who are being told this alternate idea of gender is normal and we are abnormal who don't accept it's "normalcy".

    I'm male, but have had a pain in my gee with a number of things for years. It's time to acknowledge Male Gee Pain as a real problem, particularily with christmas almost upon us.

    If you talked about non-binary and pronouns a couple of years ago people would think you were talking about computer coding and grammar.
