Seriously 💯💯💯 and Calling us "CIS" Women alone, is flat out disrespectful. Let's start there!! Are we as women just going to accept this🤔🤔 and I'm lesbian. This shi is out of control, the LGBTQ+ is doing wayyyy too much. Keep adding stuff every 5 seconds and Trans women are getting on my nerves trying to BULLY people into accepting the fact that they believe that they are natural born women and they're NOT!! Trans men don't even take it as literal as trans women. And God forbid you say something that are proven FACT scientifically, spiritually and/or realistically....your labelled as homophobic and you lose your career!! This is sad and I'm sick of black women continuously getting disrespected and no one sticks up for us!! Whether you're gay, straight or Trans - stick up for US naturally born women. We are losing our voice and people with a huge platform need to stand up and stand on it!!

Claudia is absolutely right! We have to tell the truth. It’s becoming too much of a headache.

What's interesting is that nobody is trying to redefine what a man is but all of a sudden the world doesn't know what TF a woman is. Live however you want to live without trying to erase the biology of women. And Claudia was right, why is the word "woman" so damn offensive now?? And I don't need the qualifier "cis", I'm a woman period. At the end of the day it's men telling natural-born women how to be women THAT'S the fxcked up part about all of this.

How come you want me to call you and address you however you want to be called, but give me new scientific names?!?! Keep it, I don’t want it. I’m upset about the new names! I am Woman, don’t add anything before it. I was born that.

If their hellbent on fucking up their reproductive systems to live out this delusion then let them. Better off out of the gene pool anyway.

You are 100 correct. This country has been playing a game for the last 13 or 14 years...since President Obama. As much as we love him he has probably unintentionally caused some serious issues within the black community because we have so many single parent household and it's hard to explain things that we never imagined. The public school system, Hollywood and the music industry is behind most of this confusion that is destroying the minds of the young.

[@ForbsieLaLa]

@@dtrn254 I think because for so long women had no voice and now that they have found it straight men and transgender women seem to say hey I want to be heard or we don't want to hear you or even some other siding with straight men and saying we are once again traditional so need no voice. We keep being pushed in a corner

[@dtrn254]

@@ForbsieLaLa ? That's really not making any sense to me. Trans women describing themselves or expressing their own views about womanhood cant reasonably be responsible for how natural-born woman feel about themselves. That doesn't add up. Trans women are describing what they want and how they feel. This can't trigger a woman if she is secure in her own body. A woman who was born with a vagina, uterus and breast still has her parts. So there's no territory to fight over. You can not feel threatened about losing something you already have unless you don't feel it is adequate.

I get where you are coming from, but since this is such a "touchy" topic, it probably is best that they just listen instead of talk. At the end of the day, gay men and bisexual men are in close proximity to Women and Trans Women, so some of them don't want to jeopardize their relationships with either groups by taking a side. However, I know they have taken a side and are choosing not to share it.

[@skittlekearse]

@@bshainhunter U make very valid points. But its important to point out hypocrisy when we see it, even from our favs. The LGBTQ, Trans and BLM movements have asked for support and defense from their allies and Al/Funky have done that on many occasions for all these groups/movements but where is the support for biological women a.k.a natural women???

Because (like Trans women biologically) they’re men. Men, regardless of race, are controlling, aggressive, dismissive, self absorbed and deceivers by nature. Often views Women issues as over exaggerated and over emotional when in fact they are the emotional ones. I’m wondering if any leader of the Trans community will publicly issue a statement of apology for the obvious gaslighting or will the male pride be too overwhelming

It's simple because they choose not to see the problem. They continue on with their misogyny and have already made their allegiance.

My brother in law in a trans man and in general terms I have noticed a big difference in trans men and trans women regarding the respect given to how they identify. Because trans men are biological women they tend not compete or try to take over or redline what a man is. They simply want to live in their truth but respect they will never have the same experience as biological men. However trans women because they are biological men feel the need to dominate, replace, and redefine what a woman is to suit their needs; when they will never truly know what a biological woman experiences. The anger is due to their lack of respect given to the very women they are trying to be. It actually proves how much of a man they really are.

I keep hearing women say they don't want their periods, well I'll be a rare one to say that I'm grateful to God for getting a period since 11 years old because God has strengthened me through years of that pain, building me up to prepare me to carry and birth my children. We sit around bashing our periods, research the importance of our periods and how it stregthens our bones and cardiovascular health.

If you put 10k trans women on an island with 10k men and wait 100 years there would be no one left. If you put 10k women and 10k men on a different island and wait 100 years there would be exponential growth in the population. It is so difficult to even be an ally in the trans community.

If I may take a stab at this. To answer Funky’s question: Black women are feeling unheard, unwanted, and abandoned. We are at the bottom of the totem pole and we are reminded in every aspect that we are. To the whites, we are feared, and dangerous. To heterosexual Black men, we are intimidating, aggressive, and angry, hence, they date and marry white women. To each other (Black women to Black women), we don't fit into other’s cliques and are jealous of one another. And now the LBGT+ community, we find reasons to complain. I agree with Claudia, everything is happening all at once and we can't deal. We feel like there's a lack of support, instead, it's a justification. We don't want to be called “Cis”: the justification - “It's not a slur, it's a scientific word....” We don't want to be called “fish”: the justification - it's a term of endearment. Everywhere we turn, we are getting torn apart and we are tired and we are not getting the respect that we should receive but we're expected to bow down to others. It is exhausting being a Black woman!

Insane to think biological women do not own periods and womanhood! When a young teen girl starts her menstrual cycle, it’s a sign from God letting her know she is growing into womanhood. It’s a miracle from God to let her know that she can now conceive, carry life that God creates, and give birth. Yes, we own periods! The years of money being spent on feminine protection! Yes, we own periods…cramps, bloating, mood swings, and all! We own it! It’s the miracle God blessed biological women with! The years of Pap smears, pelvic exams, mammograms, etc. to take care of our uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, cervix, vagina, and breasts! We own womanhood! We nurture and take care of it. And womanhood isn’t just physical. Biological women own womanhood. If anyone has a problem with this concept, then get on your knees and have a conversation with God…because womanhood is His power.

I appreciate you Claudia. The reason we have an issue around Trans Women Vs Natural Women is we're trying to call two sets of people who are completely different, the same. We actually have little in common in terms of gender identity, because we identify with the bodies we're in, therefore have absolutely no idea what gender dysphoria feels like . So we don't relate experientially, nor do we relate biologically. It's slogans like "Trans Women are Women," that has blurred the lines in a very unhelpful way. Trans women are trans women. Very different but both equal & worthy of respect & dignity.

Who asked him though? What women think they own. There is no such thing as owning menstruation or owning womanhood. That is such a ridiculous sentiment. He is angry with women, because he doesn't menstruate as he doesn't have the female hormones and reproductive organs that bring on menstruation periods?.. Women don't ask or will periods into existence. As a matter of fact little girls have periods...Grown women who have periods, have been having them, since they were little girls. Men don't get periods, because their reproductive system just doesn't work that way.

[@CJ-zl9ni]

Gender refers to the socially constructed roles, behaviours, expressions and identities of girls, women, boys, men, and gender diverse people. It influences how people perceive themselves and each other, how they act and interact, and the distribution of power and resources in society. Gender identity is not confined to a binary (girl/woman, boy/man) nor is it static; it exists along a continuum and can change over time. There is considerable diversity in how individuals and groups understand, experience and express gender through the roles they take on, the expectations placed on them, relations with others and the complex ways that gender is institutionalized in society.

And I have been a very liberal black female voter for many years, but it’s now making me become less liberal and more moderate in moving forward with my vote and who’ll I support. A Trans woman will never know how it FEELS that having your right to bodily autonomy of your reproductive rights stripped away and have to worry that at any point if I get raped, I will now be forced to bring a life into the world with ZERO regard of my womanhood and or humanity.
