men giving birth

If you have something so weird, strange or off-topic to post and think it doesn't belong in any other forum; you're probably right. Please put all your gormless, half-baked, inane, glaikit ideas in here. This might also be a place where we throw threads that appear elsewhere that don't belong ANYWHERE end up, instead of having to flush them. FORUM RULES STILL APPLY.

men giving birth

Post by tightenupvolume1 »

A British university is teaching its midwifery students how to care for males giving birth.
Feminism news website Reduxx revealed teaching materials from Edinburgh Napier University which state the person giving birth may still have "external male genitalia" after transitioning.
The skills workbook on "catherization" informs students the person giving birth may be a male.
The workbook also adds a trans person who has transition from female to male could give birth through a specially constructed penis.

That last line brings tears to my eyes! Elasticity tested to the limit?

There's a backlash growing against this utter nonsense. Many woman friends I have are disgusted by the way this propaganda belittles real women by trying to twist the meaning of established language. They are a tiny proportion of the population and I don't think they are helping their case with this crap.

Yep, very small tails wagging huge dogs seems to be the perfectly acceptable (openly object at your own risk) norm these days. Here’s hoping there’s a push-back beginning against this 🤞🏻
How must it feel for women, having fought long and hard for their rights/equality, to have been erased from existence to appease a minuscule group of confused/mentally ill bullies and their misguided followers?
We’re expected to blindly accept that a biological male is actually a woman ‘because they say they are’, yet when a biological female (J K Rowling for example) states her (differing, though rather more qualified IMO) definition of what constitutes a Woman, she gets crucified.
Supposedly intelligent (and in many cases powerful/influential) people are paralyzed with fear, when challenged to define ‘a Woman’? some won’t even use the word, how the hell did that happen?
IMO, all this woke PC bullshit is a consequence of a well intended, but now miserably failed, attempt at preventing minorities/the weak from being bullied and prejudiced against. The problem is we’ve gone way beyond equality, and allowed those who would earlier have been bullied, to become the bullies, and what makes things worse is those now doing the bullying have the full backing of the law, and don’t they know it.

The fightback has started, J K Rowling, Julie Bindel, Suzzane Moore have got together with some other women who have voices in the media, plus the Free speech union and I am sure we will be hearing more from them in the coming months

In the UK a charity called Stonewall is behind all this transgender shite.

It is just 7 years since they changed LGB by adding the T. Since then it's grown to LGBTQ+ACE and they keep making this stuff up all time and twisting language to suit their latest outpourings. They have seriously pissed off the LGB group because they are no longer permitted to use the term same sex.

At the root of these problems lies a fundamental conflict between LGB rights and trans rights, with the former grounded on a notion of sex and the latter on gender. This is why, to accommodate trans rights, Stonewall has had to redefine what it is to be homosexual (and by extension hetero- and bi-).

So now, in Stonewall’s eyes, a homosexual is not a ‘same-sex attracted person’, but rather someone ‘who has a romantic and/or sexual orientation towards someone of the same gender’.

The substitution of the word ‘sex’ for ‘gender’ is critical here. While in common parlance the two are used interchangeably, they have different meanings. ‘Sex’ refers to the biological reality of being male or female, whereas ‘gender’ is the somewhat spurious idea of an innate sense of knowing oneself to be male or female irrespective of one’s actual genitalia. This has as much scientific validity as white academic Rachel Dolezal’s claim to be black because she feels black.


There is a good piece here about Stonewall and it describes just how far they have got their tentacles in UK society at all levels with this gender crusade and in just 7 short years! On the good news front, it seems they might be starting to unravel having lost so much core support.

If males gave birth they'd do it with less fuss than women. It's more painful to get be kicked in the balls than give birth. You often hear women say about babies, 'I'd like to have another one.' You never hear men saying that about a kick in the balls.
