Can a woman have a penis?

Me too - that is why I feel so strongly about having them put at risk by the trans lobby.

I support all women. Way to go. But, I don't support biological men that want to invade female spaces.

Dildos come in all shapes but many are penis shaped

Many lesbians like penetration

A dildo, even penis shaped is not man

A trans women being able to get sexual gratification while satisfying a partner who is attracted to her is great

And also none of your business 😉

None of anyone’s business unless the TIM is trying to force penetration on someone who doesn’t want it because they don’t want sex with a male, as mentioned earlier on this thread.

It isn't, of course, VS, I agree.

... so why introduce the matter? I'm sure most of us are already aware of it, but I'm not sure of its relevance to what we're discussing.

Lesbians, like any other individual, are quite free to determine who they have sex with - and how and when, and I don't think anyone would question that. Or even be overly interested. Or shouldn't be, anyway.

The only relevance is when lesbians are accused of being transphobic because they don't want to have sex with a trans woman with a penis. Choice of sexual partners for lesbians - and anyone else - is entirely a private and personal matter... no-one should have to justify or explain why they don't want to have sex with someone.

Msny hetero women/couples like to use a vibrator. They have been on the market for many years.

Nothing to do with trans issues.🙄

The use of vibrators has nothing to do with this discussion and it's introduction smacks of desperation.

Yes.

Lol

Why Lol Vs? What do you find so amusing about this topic?

Lol

VS How can you say on the same thread that you object to people using disrespectful phrases, and also 'lol' at someone's post?

It's such a teenage response to show disrespect to someone with whose opinion you disagree.

Lol

Here we go, another passive aggressive post that seeks to demean posters you disagree with and appear to see yourself as superior to,

Going back a few pages if I may, to the women in prison concern. The evidence is incontrovertible. The women’s prison population has a majority of prisoners who have experienced extensive abuse, both in childhood and adult life. The main perpetrators of the abuse have been men. The extent of mental health problems in the women’s prisons is extensive. Yes I know, male prisoners have mh health problems but in the prison population non violent, drug / alcohol addicted women who shop lift to feed addiction/their children stand out.
Most of those women pose no threat to society and imo would do better if our government was prepared to invest in good alternatives to custody.
It’s surely obvious those women shouldn’t have to negotiate the complexity of trans women who discover they identify as women whilst awaiting trial for sex offences against women and children

Late to the party. I told my DH that Ed Davey says women can absolutely have a penis and DH’s immediate reply was ‘ has his wife got one?’ Makes you wonder doesn’t it.

Forsythia, thanks for a bit of light relief

I told my husband that some might accept a women having a penis - response: "let me know if you decide such, I'll move out."

DH has had further thoughts, IAM64, and is now pondering whether EdDavey might be married to a LadyBoy such as those we saw on holiday in Thailand. That might be why he thinks women can have a penis.

The Ladyboy’s in Thailand situation is more complex.

In the villages the eldest child has always been sent to earn money, if it was a girl it was bar work with extras in resorts like Pattaya.

This moved on to tapping into the alternative sex trade and the emergence of ladyboys

Both of the above earn well off of the sex tourists and send their earnings back to their families in the villages.

Not seen as exploitation in Thailand, just supporting your family and doing what is expected…

And good luck to them GrannyGravy13. They must do what’s right for them. But I think the discussion was about the remark made by Ed Davey, that was what I was referring to.

Sorry for going off piste

Not sure if Ed Davey is firing on all cylinders?

GrannyGravy, yes you’re correct. I made a similar point in response to Glory’s post yesterday about boys dressing as bar girls in the Wild West, because of the shortage of women. Glory saw this as an example of cross dressing. I suggested the risk of sexual exploitation, as happened with cabin boys on ships during the same period

It's the tactic used frequently on FB.

Make a comment, which is seemingly innocuous, but meant to provoke. Wait for a response and then dismiss it with a laughing emoji. Or a 'LOL'. Typical passive-aggressive stratagem.

Then when commenters show their frustration - accuse them of being rude

I fell for it. We should, though, ignore it.

GrannyGravy13

NanaDana as is often said when referring to jokes the old ones are the best 🤣🤣🤣

Am I the only one not allowed to laugh or make jokes?

I'll answer polite conversation but I won't reply to the other "stuff'

Sometimes when I look at some representations of humanity it's laugh or cry

"It’s surely obvious those women shouldn’t have to negotiate the complexity of trans women who discover they identify as women whilst awaiting trial for sex offences against women and children"

As I stated up thread, no one who has committed sexual or abuse offences by women should go near a womens prison, but we continue to use this. but I was pretty sure legislation had been updated on this to make it so, and it has:

www.gov.uk/government/news/update-on-changes-to-transgender-prisoner-policy-framework#:~:text=Question%3A%20Where%20are%20transgender%20prisoners,move%20to%20a%20women%27s%20prison.

I presume it is to give judges the back up to act accordingly.

I have pointed that out before Wyllow but I wasn't believed

That the majority of trans women had never even asked to go to women's prisons

But most trans women do care about women which makes it all that bit more heartbreaking in reality that so many women do not reciprocate, won't help find solutions, won't help find services etc

VioletSky

glorianny and Wyllow

I truly believe women are powerful and will say again that we should be building each other up and not tearing each other down and I'm all for any branch of feminism (doesn't have to be intersectional) that loves and supports all women

Except for abusive women and all the harm they cause

They deserve nothing from any of us

Please don't add me to a group or collection for your posts, I prefer to have my own say, thank you.

Wyllow I don't understand

You would rather I didn't speak to you?
