No worries. I wasn't accusing you

By the way, I hope you have all seen this: https://www.reddit.com/r/MensRights/comments/a20zv8/mgm_is_illegal_the_pay_gap_is_a_sham_fantastic/

The International Men's Day speech in the UK Parliament!

@Men Are Human I remember those ads, they pissed me off back then too. Thanks for that link, I hadn't seen it

@InsaneCaterpilla Pissed me off more! XD

I doubt it, the music and singing were just as grating as the sexist message

@InsaneCaterpilla I was just joking about. XD

I know mate.

It's good to see those issues being discussed in parliament, and its also hard not to be angry toward that woman for laughing at what he was saying. At the same time she's practically proving the contempt men are held in

Yep. Laughing at men for bringing up men's problems in Parliament is a bit of a tradition.

"Can we just talk about men being abused for a second?"

*Hysterical disbelieving laughter*

Hey, why don't we find out who she is and write her polite letters of disgust?

I wouldn't be polite

We could complain about her: https://www.parliament.uk/mps-lords-and-offices/standards-and-interests/pcfs/publications/inquiries/complaints-process/

It wouldn't be considered misconduct would it? She didn't break the rules

Hmmm.

Maybe not actual misconduct.

Unless they consider gender-based discrimination?

I think it would likely be a hard sell to consider what she did that, sadly. It's deplorable, but it doesn't break any rules.

Yeah, I am kinda seeing that.

sorry for flooding links

I really feel for the guy. He has clearly stated he doesn't want to do this.

James has a twin brother who is allowed to be a boy but James is forced to wear a dress and be called "Luna"

this is just fucking sick man

I know. This isn't what the trans community wants.

It's fordable. But the castration part is likely misleading - it may mean puberty blockers, which are undoable. Having said that, boys need testosterone to grow their brains.

Yeah, I was thinking of just that

even if thats the case its still really fucked up

It is

Puberty blocking *could* cause infertilty and many other complications though.

Including hampered brain developement

I feel like any body modifications should not be allowed until you are legally considered an adult, that doesn’t mean if a child is suffering from gender dysphoria that you can’t support them, if a boy wants to wear a skirt and play with barbie or a girl wants to wear skate shorts and play with actionman, I don’t see the problem, but like with Tattoos, piercings and circumcision, these are things that should be options when the child is an adult and can make their own choices on how they want to permanently change things about themselves that cannot be reversed

Also on another note, I made a post on r/askfeminists, will be interesting to see how that goes xD

You’re tempting the gods

I agree but like with piercings? Pretty sure I see a lot of young girls getting piercings with parental consent when they are as young as primary school
