The worst aspect of this thread, is that on GN I now get this one, among all the other trashy adverts. Let it go!

GNHQ have commented on this thread. Read here.
I recently bought 2 multi packs of knickers from a well-known store, in a style and size I've worn for years.
They didn't seem to fit right. Theres not enough material in the back and way too much stretchy material in the front.
I've compared them with my older pairs (5 years old and more) and there is now definitely more material in the crotch area! (almost a pouchy effect on some of the pairs, a bit like men's underpants 
)
I went online to read some of the reviews and there are male people raving about these knickers, saying that "there's enough room for men to wear them" basically they can fit their their male bits in them.
Aibu for being shocked that even women's underwear is now under attack?
So now we have to wear saggy, pouchy underwear, just because transwomen might get upset if there isn't enough room for them to fit their junk in?
(most transwomen these days don't have bottom surgery and choose to keep their male penises and testicles). I'm not sure if many Gransnetters are aware of that)
Aibu to think there should be a separate section for transwomens underwear?
Manufacturersshould not be changing and messing around with women's underware and shoving extra material into areas that have no need of extra material.
Why do women always have to budge up to accommodate others?
I'm prepared to be told to shut up and #bekind.
Which is what usually happens.
Oh and I would have put this in Feminism if we had such a section.

Seems I'm not rhe only one whose noticed all that lots of men post their reviews in the womens underwear sections.
I think they get a sick kick out of it.
I also found out that a lot of transwomen who keep their male genitalia do it because they're into something called Autogynephillia.
Now there's a word you don't learn about every day!
It's well worth a read.
As someone points out
How many women go on the mens underwear section and right icky reviews?
Probably zero!
It's shocking to think that men who self identify as women, but have male genitalia are allowed to go in the women's chamging rooms and try on women's underwear.
From now on I am only buying underwear that's in a sealed pack.

Trying on underwear?
Really?

This is ridiculous!
1. who tries on underwear??!
2. how many trans women who still have male genitalia do you think there are ???!!!
smacks of DM windup.
You are very naive.
Most transwomen these days are encouraged to keep their male genitalia. In other words, very few decide to have bottom surgery.
How do you not know this?
And yes, it is quite possible that a
middle aged man, who decides to self identify, would go into a womams changing room to try on women's underwear.
Have you actually read the thread that I provided the link to?
By the way I do t read the daily meal.
So cheap shot.

Well, I'm heading towards 60 and have never tried on knickers before buying.
Why the hysteria anyway? Just suppose a bloke HAD tried on a pair you buy. Trans isn't infectious.
