Ed Davey says they can. Keir Starmer isn’t sure. Can women have a penis?

Only if you identified as an elephant Doodledog grin

It is a complicated game called "When is a penis not a penis"
The rule seems to be when it is one constructed by surgery, unless it's a man who is having one constructed, in which case it is a penis but if it's a transman (who some think is still a woman) then it isn't.
I don't know if similar rules apply to other plastic surgery.
So I'm not sure if a nose reconstruction is a nose or not.

Biology not your strongest subject I guess?

No but logic is.
If a rhinoplasty constructs a nose then a phalloplasty constructs a phallus.
You may not want to call it such.You may not like it. But there it is.
Of course the fact that you think the person I would call a transman and some think is still a woman chooses to call it a penis should probably be taken into account. If you believe women should have freedom of choice. But it seems that other women have the right to dictate to them even what their body parts are called.
Which is what happens when you start to dictate who is what. You impinge on other's rights, even other women's.

I am still young enough to remember my Biology classes, if a body has a penis then the person is 100% male.

To think and/or deny this is perpetuating a myth originating from men.

See the pattern, ^those pesky women have got it all now, best we get in there and reclaim what’s rightfully ours^

So in order to be 100% a man you have to have a penis?

What about men who don't have a penis? What percentage are they? Are we going by area or is there another criteria

I don't have a penis so what percentage man am I? If that's the 100% criteria to be one?

Lots of animals don't have a penis, many birds do not have a penis, are they only a percentage male?

If a trans woman doesn't have a penis, what percentage not a man is she?

So many questions

So many questions, most of which are ridiculous but hey ho do carry on…

If I had a trunk attached to my face would I be an elephant?

Apparently you would be a percentage elephant but I'm not sure if we are going by appendage or area

Doodledog Sun 28-May-23 14:16:44

I'd rather identify as something a bit slimmer, if that's ok? grin

Smileless2012 Sun 28-May-23 14:16:48

A nose reconstruction is a reconstructed nose. A woman can't have a reconstructed penis because biology determined that as a woman/female she wouldn't have one to begin with.

Make a silly statement, get a silly answer

What about someone wearing a sheepskin coat? Are they a percentage sheep? That is a closer analogy, really. They could so easily be a wolf underneath.

VioletSky Sun 28-May-23 14:18:36

Elephants aren't fat

It is actually their bone structure

I wouldn't be judging Elephants if I were you, they never forget

That did make me chuckle 🤣🤣

I am off out now to a family BBQ, will look in later no doubt this thread will with have either been deleted or still perpetuating the myth that women can and do have a penis…

Should you choose to have something attached to your face you wanted to call a trunk and asked me to call you an elephant I would probably do so. After all what harm will it do me? And it might make you feel very happy.

VioletSky Sun 28-May-23 14:20:31

Wearing a coat doesn't change your hormones or alter your physical shape

But I suppose you could wear one as an expression of sheep like mentality

Smileless2012 Sun 28-May-23 14:22:08

Just don't expect anyone to think that you had reconstructive surgery Doodledoggrin.

Mollygo Sun 28-May-23 14:46:29

VioletSky

Actually Mollygo glorianny and I aren't in perfect agreement at all

But neither of us use bully tactics in discussion so we get along fine

Now do you know, VS, that I find your tactics in discussions decidedly bullying, particularly when you refer to people by titles which they do not accept, so that must just be your opinion, not a fact. As an opinion, you’re welcome to it.
Incidentally, I haven’t the slightest interest in whether you or Glorianny agree. Did I suggest you did or was that something you are misrepresenting me as saying?

Galaxy Sun 28-May-23 14:46:44

Because nobody would ever believe anything you said about any subject if you were prepared to tell such a lie?
We could call it the Johnson effect.

Doesn’t change your sex either.

VioletSky Sun 28-May-23 14:50:17

Mollygo

What tactics are those exactly?

Can you please show me examples

What titles are you talking about as well please

Thank you

VioletSky Sun 28-May-23 14:51:09

I won't be engaging in arguments

Just poof, logic and reason from me

VioletSky Sun 28-May-23 14:53:27

That should say proof

FannyCornforth Sun 28-May-23 14:57:50

Aw, that’s a shame

Mollygo Sun 28-May-23 14:59:16

Aw, that’s a shame

Yes indeed!

Mollygo Sun 28-May-23 15:03:38

VS tell me you’ve never read posters objecting to being called GC, which you throw out on a regular basis, with your own implications added. I’ve certainly objected to that title.
Perhaps you should stick with your poof.

Mollygo Sun 28-May-23 15:05:45

Tactics-implying that anyone who criticise the harmful actions of some TIM is anti all trans will do for a start.

Baggs Sun 28-May-23 15:05:55

What is a GC?

Baggs Sun 28-May-23 15:06:36

Also TIM?

Sorry, I haven't kept up.

Have I ever called you GC? Because I do not believe that to be the case

The world is bigger than gransnet and I often talk about those who self identify as GC

There was a whole forum of them on reddit before they were removed

I've also asked people if they really want to be aligned with certain GC views. Logic dictates I would not ask that if I had labelled everyone here as GC

Not everything I say is about you, or actually it rarely is because I don't often address you due to the fact your dislike of me is clear on many threads

I only ever answer you when you address me
