    I read stuff like this coming from the "trans" community quite often and all I hear in my head is some AGP male screaming "me! me! me!" like some hyperventilating, spoilt brat. They do their "community" no favours whatsoever.

      It would be interesting to see where these 'articles' and posts are coming from.

      This looks like a rather obvious ploy to sow dislike of trans people through fake news and bots.

        Where I am sure that is true there are those in that community that are doing a very good job of it as well.

          Everyone bleeds. They could also have asked for plasters and bandages and that would have made the trans women feel included. It just takes a bit of effort to make everyone feel included.

            Even those who don't want to be included.

            I remember the talk to someone on the tube day. Discrimination against us autistic types who want to be left alone. No wonder I cycle.

              The word "cycle" does unfortunately upset many trans women who can't or choose not to menstruate. It would be more inclusive if instead of "cycle" you could use words such as travelling or peddling, though I know both of these words upset the non stationary community, known derogatorily as the "gypos".

                QQ for my personal edification: precisely how can a transwoman "choose not to menstruate"?

                  You should be sent to "period corner" until you work it out....

                    I'd rather be sent to a world where basic biology wasn't regarded as an inconvenient mysticism.
