Oh nice.
There's plenty of channels as you can see
Yes! I'm hoping for some good convos! 😀
Something I've noticed in other spaces is being dragged into discussions about race and other 'intersections' in response to feminist muddying the water. I'm pretty single issue in this arena. If you have y chromosomes you are my brother. Even if you don't but can't live as a woman then you have my support...
Thats pretty straight forward.
The rest of the world supports the xx demographic. They don't need me.
@James Yes sorry, was asleep as you guessed.. Anything in particular that brings me here? Coming across the reddit and finally building up courage to put it simply.. more complex answer would mean telling my life story and family history probably would take forever
Haha yeah. That can happen.
A couple of personal experiences is- growing up not knowing my brother as my father had no rights- i saw what that did to him..also being a trans guy ive experienced what its like to be seen as female and male at different times- in many ways its easier to be female in terms of rights and attitudes (which was not a surprise to me- i knew it before transition really)
did you ever get to meet your father as an adult?
I grew up with my dad- my brother lost contact with him at age 11 or so before i was born, he was my dads stepson but from birth (didnt matter to family courts of course).. he always saw him as his son which he was just not biologically
oh, okay, I see, I'm sorry to hear that.
As an adult he contacted us- he ended up living with us for a while :)
that must have been nice, It's wrong to separate families, and I know even if you do manage to catch up as adults, it can still be quite upsetting for a parent not being able to see their child grow up
Yes it was difficult for him- he fought for a long time in the courts too
Family courts are just flat out unfair, they cause more harm then any good they do
This was England yeah?
Yes england
1980s
An enlightened time I'm sure. I wonder how it's changed
That doesn't sound good
(parents involved in family courts now are often forbidden from speaking out in my understanding)
Speaking out on what part?
good luck with that, something that emotional and traumatic, speaking out is pretty inevitable
To children?
Or to public
Public
That's fucked
So any miscarriages of justice (which there are many) can be hidden
Uber fucked
people should be allowed to speak out if something is unfair, but that would probably lead to them getting public support and the family courts wouldn't want that complicating their systems
Exactly.. its used in a big way against autistic parents (autistic rights is something i keep up with) .. parents are tricked and lied to- trust social workers in the beginning, babies get taken in view for forced adoption because they are in high demand.. once the parents finally get help and organised and realise whats happened (eg unprofessional social workers, people lying, solicitors making deals with the local authorities) then they cant speak out due to the law and when they do its passed off a symptom of mental illness because they are lone voices
today my scienene teacher said "your in the most privlaged class, your a white male" (hes a white male to)
You should call him out as a sexist if he thinks he's better than women.
See how he can backpedal
she tweeted a pic of obama and a baby then this happened
to be fair looks like you where baiting a little bit xD
@TyDye Want to write up about it for the site? If you don't want me to bother you about that kind of thing let me know and I'll make a note.
I ask so many people that sometimes I forget who has said they don't want to be on the site, sorry.
