Can we not say ‘women with penises’ seeing that women don’t have penises.

That would be allowing them their right to take away the proper meaning of woman-*adult human female*

What’s the chemical element abbreviation for iron?
What’s the biological term for man?

I have read that just building toilets (not even ones just for women) in some rural villages in Africa has lessened the number of girls and women assaulted or raped. When they had to go out into the bush, they were vulnerable to predatory men.

Oh those bloody predatory men, perhaps instead of women having to feel fear and distrust all their lives either peeing in the bush or using women only spaces that could be breached, those bloody predatory men should be dealt with in he societies they live in and boys should be brought up not to be a bloody predatory man.
They are a menace worldwide 😡

Perhaps instead of having to lock our car doors at night to stop joyriders taking them off for illicit races and crashing them, those wild uncontrolled youngsters should be dealt with in the societies they live in and boys should be brought up not to be thoughtless nitwits.

Perhaps instead of shops having to allow for percentages of their stock vanishing from the shelves, the unprincipled thieves who took them should be dealt with in the societies they live in and boys AND girls should be brought up not to be take what doesn't belong to them.

Unfortunately, whatever action societies take to deter such breakers of laws and ignorers of social condemnation, there still remain individuals whose only ruling consideration is themselves, however hard their parents have tried to bring them up to consider the rights and welfare of others.

Humans are Homo Sapiens

After reading this OP I'm beginning to think that some people should have the Sapiens part deleted from their definition.

I just think it’s a silly phrase Doodledog even it’s a PC one.
Males with or without penises are still men but can be called, indeed are called trans women.Still sounds better than women with penises in my book.

Rosie51 Mon 21-Oct-24 14:52:02

If we don't want to use the accurate term 'trans identified males' then can we use transwoman which is a noun that denotes such a male. Using separate words trans becomes an adjective to describe a woman just like short, red-haired etc and men can never be any type of woman.

It was deliberately set that way round because logically a transgender woman would be a woman who identified as a man, but the men wouldn't have got to use the word woman, and would have been trans men.

It’s a dog’s dinner isn’t it?
The SNP have better topics to address surely? The ferries debacle for one. The drugs crisis.
Talk about rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic (whilst getting paid for it too).

Agree wholeheartedly. And I object equally wholeheartedly to them spending money on this nonsense when there is so much else which needs addressing. 🤬🤬🤬

I am sure it was obvious to most that I was being facetious. Never mind.

I read bigender as big ender too!

I wonder how much it has cost to compile this list?

Mollygo Mon 21-Oct-24 17:01:07

Not going anywhere, with iron man. It just struck me as odd.

😂 Will schoolchildren have gender lessons and be tested on all the different ones. It's just crazy.

Maybe if the world was not so divided into male and female stereotypes and only divided where it really needed to be, such as changing rooms and similar areas there would not be such a demand for all these genders.

Oh I think there would be Jackiest it's an ego trip for so many, makes them feel special to tag themselves with an obscure label. It will pass eventually.
It started with the non binary which surely should have sufficed, but that got too mainstream so more had to be invented.

Grammaretto Mon 21-Oct-24 17:47:25

Only 24 genders! I think you'll find there are far more than that.
72 according to this website:

As far as I am concerned people can call themselves what they want, as long as they do not attempt to force other people to accept their identification. It is when people are forced to accept these ridiculous definitions, 'he won't use my pronouns' that the trouble starts, and some unfortunate people are victimised and lose their jobs because of it.

Smileless2012 Mon 21-Oct-24 17:59:27

I agree eazybee if you must choose your own pronoun, don't complain if someone doesn't use it.

Jackiest Mon 21-Oct-24 18:25:09

Rosie51 I think it is only an ego trip because we make it one. If it is accepted that men and women can all act and do the same things and we have the same expectations from both and treat both identically then the only thing they can gain is using the women's changing rooms then that is not really something they can argue for on its own.

Simple: women do puberty, menstruation,birth (optional), menopause.

Let's see a trans man do all that! They would be screaming......
