Hello, I'm gender non conforming (or GNC). I'm female and lesbian.
Gender non conformity does not belong to the trans community. It existed long before identity politics became fashionable.
Gender non conformity means I do not conform to stereotypes associated with my sex.

Most butch lesbians don't get harassed in toilets by women, we get challenged by boundaried and concerned women who make an honest mistake and apologise immediately. This is how it's done 🔥👍

I was not annoyed, I was not offended at being 'misgendered', or rather 'incorrectly sexed'. I was so pleased, I asked her if I could give her a hug and congratulated her for protecting women's spaces because that takes guts.

I have to share a thing. Today was the very first day in my life where, at a pub in the temple bar district of Dublin, I was challenged in a bathroom because a lovely lady thought I was a man. She couldn't see my face just my hair from behind and what I was wearing.

On behalf of women who are afraid to claim they're lesbian, for any reason (I'm thinking of a Twitter Space I was in this morning), I'd just like to state:

I don’t often do threads, but I had a thought today. So here goes. The reason why we have single sex rape crisis centres for women is that we need spaces away from the men who have harmed us. We need to escape rapists, oppressors, violent men.

Oh do fuck off, Billy. Any media amplifying women's voices is better than people like you trying to do women down. You're just another man deciding what is wrongthink for women. It's crass, boring and misogynist no matter how you want to dress it up so you feel like the big man.
I guess that answers my question. Those 'gender critical' feminists who claim to be arguing from a left wing perspective are not troubled to see who is amplifying their signal.

It's a refusal to play the game where you fall into typical categories, or you change yourself to fit stereotypes (eg of 'girly'). It's also a refusal to engage in the dismantling of definitions and meanings.
I'm still a woman, I just don't conform to female stereotypes.

Nobody can own gender non conformity, nobody can make it conform to their group's standards. That would be a form of conformity and you can't make non conformity fit.
Gender non conformity is not a statement about patriarchy - it is its own thing, outside it.

Middle of the road in men's sport, top in women's. Not wanting to compete against men isn't a hatred of TW. That's a big leap to make. Sports should be fact not feeling based. Fact 1: men shouldn't be in women's sports, regardless of identity. That's not personal, that's factual.

Transwomen are male, though. Otherwise, they wouldn't be transwomen.
Imagine telling women and girls who've been raped they have to call their male attacker 'she'. Rather you than me. I'd go to jail first. I think you're a disgrace.
This is a personal message to all those people that think it is acceptable to refer to some women as men.
It is not acceptable, it is deliberately misgendering and it has already been classified as a hate crime and you are guilty of that crime.

Raped women do not demand access to men’s spaces, to golf clubs, old boys networks, or hereditary peerages. They do not want to go anywhere near the men’s bar. They want spaces well away from men, to recover, to regroup, to heal.

When they say "your" toilets, their language already reveals they're not one of us. The "I" owns it, the "your" says they're different. If they thought they were a one of us, they would have said "our toilets" or used the words "we". Language is important. Really listen to ppl.

Women who have actually been harmed want to get away from those who have harmed them. A few aggressive transwomen want to be IN spaces with the very women they claim harm them. The things that have been tweeted out from those spaces by those TW? Well, don’t get me started.

So a 3rd category would invalidate your feelings? (invalidate: "prove to be erroneous"). I think this person is very aware sex makes a difference in sport&beyond. *Nothing* can invalidate the fact I'm a woman, no test, no words, no drug, nobody's feelings, not even my feelings.

This might be hard for you to understand but masculinity isn't owned by men. I'm a masculine of centre woman and I dress comfortably. I'm not presenting as a man. Not only is that impossible, it's absurd given I'm a lesbian. Nothing about my sexuality or image involves men.

80% of young people grow out of dysphoria, if left to go through puberty. In the 20% of cases where this is not the case, mine included, medical and/or social transition for those people is still not always the best or the happiest course of action to take.
