Why should we care?

Do she care about the hurt feelings that we have in our lives?

Sis is asking from an apology from the rail company? Not you?? I don't think anyone is concerned with you not caring.

Isn't it actually more common nowadays for women to be called sir? I'm genuinely curious to see if this will really go anywhere for her considering the terminology that was used does get used for born women nowadays too.

Why do we need to know about this on the television?

Who cares that she's demanding an apology from somebody who has done nothing wrong?

Only she cares, and she'll have to stop thinking she's so precious that the whole nation must join in her hurt feelings.

Not according to the Gender Equality Act

The company deny it happened, there's no mention of any witnesses, we only have her word for it.

Is there any possibility she could be taking advantage of the Gender Equality Act? Maybe for £2K worth of compensation.

Any chance that could be a possibility.?

Any chance the company are denying it to save the negative exposure?

Yes! there is a chance of that, that is a possibility.

Holly had to keep doing little coughs during the interview, to stop herself from laughing at the story that was being told.

If someone’s misgendered, I always thought it’s best just to educate and inform them, the person apologises and the two reasonable people move on! If it persists it’s harrasment and is also protected under the gender equality act. The train company seems to be telling a different story so either they’re lying to save their asses which can’t really be proved or it does seem like a bit of a money thing

Lmfao I have never heard someone call a woman "sir"

If the person complaining has masculine features and a deep voice, I would suggest there were reasonable grounds for someone not paying much attention to misgender. Without witnesses to state that the man was being a tit, this has no chance of going anywhere.

She seems to be a bit of an attention seeker, if nothing else.

REAL LIFE: ‘Since I transitioned, life is brilliant’

It’s hard to imagine what it must be like waking up every day feeling you were born in the wrong body. But that’s exactly what life is like for people who are transgender .

Earlier this year, Katie underwent surgery and is now female, four years after starting her transition. She hopes to encourage and inspire others in a similar position to her. But what led to her making such a life-changing decision? ‘It all started back in 2014. I previously identified as a gay male,’ she says. ‘I went to a fancy dress party, wearing a dress.

‘I’d never worn a dress before. I didn’t really have any thoughts about being transgender. ‘But I went to this party and had a really good evening. ‘For several weeks after that I started to think about how comfortable I felt, not just because I was in a dress but because of my femininity.’ Katie, who was David at the time, went to see her GP and was referred to a gender clinic in Exeter.

She went on to have psychological assessments to test her state of mind and make sure that she was going down the right road.

She went on to have psychological assessments to test her state of mind and make sure that she was going down the right road.

By that point, she had ditched all her male clothes and had begun to dress as a woman. She was prescribed hormone treatment which she began to take straight away. They enhanced her breasts and gave her body more of a female shape. She continued to have appointments and assessments at the clinic until December last year when she was finally given a date for surgery. The operation took place in April this year at a hospital in Brighton.

She doesn't just want an apology, she wants £2500 compensation. That's completely disproportionate.

Erm. Apparently this is transphobic these days as no sex dysphoria is required to be 'trans', though quite what 'trans' is if not body dysphoria I don't bloody know. But thats apparently the case and thinking that sex dysphoria is necessary for being trans makes you a godawful bigot, and if you are trans yourself and say this, it means you are 'truscum' :umm2:

If no body dysphoria is involved its pretty much nothing more than liking the 'wrong' stereotypes and having individual taste! Which seems to have been part of the reason we have the ridiculous situation we have today over all of this. Being male and wanting to wear a dress does not make you a woman, just as a female wearing trousers does not make her male. Nonsense.

As for the misgendering part of it, sorry but regardless of what someone is wearing their sex is generally extremely obvious, especially with late transitioning males. So it happens without even thinking. We do not recognise male/female by the fact that they have short hair and wear a suit or whatever. Thats just the stereotypes attached to sex, our eyes tell us male and female easily.

Like Mr 'Wax my balls' (though I think I prefer the twitter nickname of 'Balldemort'). Trying to sue many many beauty parlours as they refused to wax his male genitals, as he 'is a woman' and its the same. Like, ignoring the fact that its a totally different technique and that basically, if they are insured to do women, they could get into a hell of a lot of trouble, along with doing damage to the person wanting their balls waxed. Something like 12 separate women he is trying to get compensation from for this. Possibly more now.

People like this^ are just massive attention seekers and honestly, just abusive men on a power trip. MRAs have hitched a ride on a genuine cause, and are creating a gigantic backlash against actual transsexual people tbh.

Edit. Oh, and Wax My Balls is also a pedo, who posts about how he wishes a 12 year old girl would ask him for a tampon in the loo, and then he could show them how to use them :umm2: What a catch.

Mr Waxman is no-transgender. He is a perv who just wants physical stimulation from those women for his own pleasure and is using transgender equality as a cover, like many other men, which is exactly what women said would happen.

‘Mr Wax my balls’ ‘Balldemort’

:joker: :joker: :joker:

What a crazy world this has become.

user104658 24-03-2019 12:41 PM

The thing is, using extremely unusual / freak incidents like this waxing fellow as a benchmark for being suspicious of all transgender people is extremely misguided, and using it as justification for branding the entire population "potentially dangerous" is outright bigotry. There's no more justification for it than there is for seeing a mugshot of a black burgler and using it as justification for being suspicious of all black people "because here's evidence that THIS one is a criminal".

Balldemort is a great name, though.

Except, as usual, noone is using individual cases to claim an entire population is potentially dangerous, though its claimed each time that when you point out such a case it means you are using that against all transpeople. Acknowledging that these people (well, abusive men) exist (and they are not as few as you would think it seems) and that loopholes make it easier for pervs like Balldemort..does not mean you are saying all trans people are pervs like Balldemort.

We know that Not All Men Are Like That too.

Vicky. 24-03-2019 12:53 PM

Oh, and its not transgender people that are the main issue, as usual. Its abusive controlling narcissistic males who have clung onto the coattails of a genuine cause for dear life, and now appear to be controlling it that are the issue. How anyone cannot see that transactivism as it stands today (not genuine transactivism..but how it is now) is nothing more than a MRA movement, I will never understand.

Is this the same one I heard about in the news? , it feels like this is a recurring theme .
India Willoughby will be having a field day with this . Why is is when people make a genuine mistake or apologise then that's never the end of it ??? .

I think it's PC gone mad ,and it's going to get to the stage where people are too scared to address a female with a deep or croaky voice in case she has an outbust of " how dare you assume my gender " :bored: .

Plus what about people who dress a certain way but they still identity as their biological gender ?. It can be confusing at times , and if a person still sounds masculine then it's understandable how they'd be mistaken as "male" .

I think this person just wants attention , and sadly getting it even though there's more important things that should get reported .
