LGBT News FtM upset at not being allowed a women's only lesbian valentines event

Man not allowed to women only event! Stop the presses...

I get that they had been attending for a long while but come on...that really comes with the territory...that is to say, assuming the source is accurate in reporting that this guy is a trans man, and not say, gender fluid or something...

One of the comments on their sums it up well when they say that it's all well and good complaining he can't attend a women only event, but you can but they wouldn't have been pleased if everyone had been calling him "ma'am" all night.

 

Wow. That is really weird. Well, he defiently shouldn't be allowed to participate since he was a man already. I just don't get why that couple makes a thing about it. They asked if they could attend, they couldn't. That should be the end of the case. No reason for all the drama. Everyday people surprise me more and more...

 

It's lovely that there are lgbt-themed dances out there; never heard of such things before. However, I agree with Moogie. One of them identified as male by choice and had started transitioning. He would felt awkward at a lesbian-oriented event, and doesn't seem to grasp that if he can't just switch back so he can go to the event.

 

^ your avi is creepy ahha @ moogie.... not the person above haha sorry!

more to the point, i didnt read the link only the stuff op posted but i think it was right to be denied....

he is a man, trans or not.

wouldnt he be degrading himself if he went anyways, being referred to as a women all night. im pretty sure for a lot of trans men that would be off putting...

i feel awkward now cuz idk if im even using the right pronouns for said person seen as a transman wanted attend a womans event. eep. sorry if i got it a little wrong.

 

He's a man, not a woman. It's a women only event. Enough said.

 

I..Don't see the issue with this.

 

I don't get why he's mad either.. he's a guy..

 

It would only be an issue if she/he was a Mtf

 

Exactly. I honestly don't understand why he's getting upset over it.

 

Would have been worse if they let him in and turned away other guys.

 

I'm sorry he's upset because he was treated like a DUDE. People. You're a dude, you get treated like one. I'm just, I have no words.

 

Let that be a lesson to him! No special treatment. Women only event = women only. You can't have your cake and eat it. So they're used to attending and are in shock, they maybe built up a circle in there, but it's time to wake up. You've made your bed, now lie in it.

 

Let me get this right: this is a girl who transitioned into living as a guy, and would most likely be highly offended at ever being referred to as a girl. However, when comes the time to go to a Valentine's Day event, it's okay to pull the "but I'm biologically female" card?

Pick your side, bro. If I went to a lesbian event, I'd expect to see people who want to be referred to as "she." I'd get a little creeped out if I saw a guy there...

 

And this does still happen, in certain "women's only spaces"...

 

Let me get this straight,
He demands the right to be seen as a male,
But does not want to give up the privileges of having been a woman?

Sounds a little hypocritical.

 

I've heard a couple stories where some trans men attempt to include themselves/stay in the lesbian community (if they identified as a gay woman prior to transition). Eventually, reality hits them and one realises you can't have your cake and eat it too. Unsure why he's distraught about this, if he's male trying to attend a "women's only" event.

 

I'm not sure why this is even an issue.

 

Thank you! I took that as a compliment :icon_bigg

 

And by an "issue" why he's so huffy and puffy about this. You're a dude. Why do you think you'd be welcomed into a lesbian only event?
