Misogynistic and Selfish, Edinburgh's Rape Crisis Centre's CEO is a trans-woman, i.e. a man !

It was on fire when I laid down on it.
Hey I am pretty conservative AND a Roman Catholic, two strikes against me! But I do not think I am a misogynist.
Also that she resigned
Why not ? ;-)
I totally agree.
But I think everyone who is in lockstep with gender ideology is - even if unwittingly - is supporting homophobia and misogyny.
Bottom line, gender ideology has aspects that are homophobic and misogynistic. Your ignorance of that doesn't make it magically go away.

I don't know much of anything about this whole situation, but after taking 2 seconds to look up Mridul Wadhwa, I found out she's a woman. So, calling her a man is indeed transphobic.

Despite all that, I've not seen you say anything misogynistic.

It's sort of amazing, isn't it? I also really hate Trump but that's a topic for another thread.Despite all that, I've not seen you say anything misogynistic.

Cool.
Disagree. You've not shown this to be true.
In fact, I think you've revealed much more about yourself than you have others, on these particular threads.
I don't see any reason to believe that, other than you just branding everyone that you think follows "gender ideology" as those things without demonstration of such.

It certainly is and I do too.
Mridul is a trans woman, a biological male.
I've repeatedly shown you evidence. Everyone reading this thread can see that. And they can see that you've refused to look at it.

So, she is a woman, not a man. Referring to her as a man or with male pronouns is wrong. Saying she is a biological male might or might not be correct, but it's still a transphobic thing to say, unless in a very specific context.

What I can see is that you've bought into the TERF narrative. Just the term "gender ideology" itself is a red flag, as it's one used only by transphobic activists.

Everybody in this thread and your other threads can certainly see for themselves.

Too bad you didn't start a thread or poll asking females 'if you were raped by a man, would you want a female or male therapist/counsler afterwords"
Then post your OP.
Btw....

You seem to be saying that trans people are unlikely to be able to do the job because this particular trans person is CEO. She might be terrible at the job (or great at it) but this doesn't say anything about the suitability of a trans person in general.
You expressed your gobsmackery that a trans person could be CEO in the first place. Why?
You called her a man. Not a trans woman.
If you insist that trans women are men then you are denying the reality of gender identities that don't match to your expectations.
We don't have a a legal definition of well-being but it doesn't hurt anyone to use the term or more importantly, to look after their well-being. I think that you're clutching at straws given that girls and women are generally fine with people having gender identities.
Again, do you think the majority of UK women, when asked about support for trans issues are absolutely fine with trans identities (this actually rises when we selecy for lesbian women) are the ones perpetrating the real cruelty? Or is it you on here misgendering a trans woman when you know this to be hurtful to trans people and there are trans people here?
I'm surprised that you can't see the issues here. Firstly, trans men get raped too.
Secondly, if you took a woman to a rape crisis centre you would demand a woman counselled them. But for you this guy is a woman. Would you therefore demand that a different woman counselled your loved one or would you be fine with Alex?
Mridul is a trans woman, a biological male.
It's clear we disagree on the correct words here.
Now please demonstrate how saying he's a trans woman is transphobic? Oh sure we hear this accusation all the time, but explain it to me if you can?
Not true. It's called "gender ideology" because it is one. You don't need any sort of affiliation to agree with that.
For one, it's loaded with unfalsifiable, shall we say "faith" claims, just like religious ideologies.

She is a woman, a trans woman if you must specify. Whether she is a biological male is not a matter that needs to be brought up here, and so it's bad form.
Not really. You're using transphobic language. I'm just pointing that out.
1) No one said calling her a trans woman was transphobic.
2) Saying "he's a trans woman" is transphobic, because, like your OP, it refers to her as a "he", which she is not.
No, it's a vague term used by transphobic people. It's an indication that you're following transphobic people's views on the subject. Kind of like when someone talks about "wokeness".
The people who use "gender ideology"? Yes, I know. That's why I'm saying it's a red flag when you use the term.
