Well i put my name down for a social, later asked if a trans friend could come as a plus 1.

I got asked if they were convincing in a pub, i said they were, and pretty and 20.

Suddenly theres a age limit of 21.

Also i wasn't aware you needed to be convinving if you're trans to frequent a pub?

I'm a licensed door supervisor soi have a basic knowledge of licencing laws, nowhere does it say about being convincing...

The fact they asked if they were convincing tells you all you need to know that it’s not the kind off social anyone should be going to

Sound very judgmental

Socials should be open to everyone and anyone

Lots of transphobia on here. People on the outside assume the swinging community to be open minded and welcoming but it has a significant number of bigots and transphobes. The funny thing is, these transphobes have the gall to describe themselves as "open minded" on their page. I don't think so.

This is so sad to hear. Homo bi. Trans phobia is still out there, and it's those that aren't comfortable with themselves that tend to be like this. Everyone should be happy and comfortable in their sexuality

But I mean, if it was a social anyway, maybe was better not even mentioning the fact she’s trans? (And she passes and looks pretty so none would have thought twice) Does it matter if it’s a social?

I get this all the time. Someone in another thread on this forum has just said it. I just keep repeating Trans women ARE WOMEN. Sadly, it's difficult to educate stupid people.

I think there’s a lot of difference of opinion and different ideas/thoughts surrounding trans on here

Not much actual transphobia though. I feel that word gets thrown around too easily. Just because you don’t agree with something doesn’t automatically make you some kind of phobia.

True, it's not a fear as such, more a bigoted hatred.. that's a better term for your behaviour.

It's demonstrated by not respecting how a person wishes to be identified and identifying them as something completely different, even though you know it's offensive to them. You wouldn't refer to a Jewish man as a Catholic but many people on here happily refer to trans women as men and take great pleasure in it.

True, but I still believe that comes from a lack of education and understanding. And I believe most can learn and can understand

I've tried educating and even showed them the definition of trans as found on Google, they still carry on because they are HATEFUL.

Sadly there are transphobic, homophobic, sexist, racist etc etc people on here as there are in all walks of life. Thankfully it is the minority. I agree with thick a bit though in that I think there are people who do want to be educated and often get shot down for perhaps using the wrong word etc. The situation you are talking about though is unacceptable.

Good question, i didn't think it was relevent exept i kinda got the impresion they had a ratio of single male, single female and couples, so i said so as to be transparent. Maybe i shoukd of just said female despite them identifying as trans.

What a dreadful post to wake up to, especially when I realised OP was talking about a conversation that I had with him last night.

I cannot quote the conversation (it is against forum rules), but I did indeed ask if the TV was convincing. The event is in a private function room of a town centre pub. It is planned to be a wonderful evening and I did not want people turning up in club type gear...fishnets, see through clothing, collars thus drawing attention to the group, and it was in a similar thought pattern that this was asked. This is a standard expectation for organised socials, to dress smartly as if going to a nice wine bar. I was keen to keep it low key, so that people attending weren't outed as swingers in the neighbourhood and that the venue would be happy to host us in the future.

I was told that the person attended the nearby club on Fetish events. I was concerned that they had not been on a regular night as TVs are definitely welcome and attend every night that the club opens. That puzzled me. Did they see it as something kinky or a fetish, not every day acceptable?

At this point I was unsure and it was late at night and I said I would have to discuss with the other organiser. My main concern was about drawing attention to what will be my first larger scale Social event and I wanted to get it right for everyone. I expected to continue the discussion the following day to explain my concerns and then add the guest to the list. I didn't even have a name at that stage.

The next message from the OP was that the guest was 20. Sadly there is an age limit 21 to 70 put on the Social Event and this can be viewed on the STOKESOCIALPROFILE which is attached to the event.

THE GUEST WAS NOT TURNED AWAY BECAUSE THEY WERE A TV, they were told that they could not attend purely because of their age.

I am very annoyed and extremely upset at how the OP has lied about what actually happened!

The green arrow shows OP has posted 5 threads and every one is about Transphobia.

Accuse me of Ageism if you want, but not Transphobia.

Thank you for reading the other side of the story.

Great to read the other side. We don't have published age guides for our social but I think a twenty year old attending might make a few regulars uncomfortable.

"Well i put my name down for a social, later asked if a trans friend could come as a plus 1.

I got asked if they were convincing in a pub, i said they were, and pretty and 20.

Suddenly theres a age limit of 21.

Also i wasn't aware you needed to be convinving if you're trans to frequent a pub?

I'm a licensed door supervisor soi have a basic knowledge of licencing laws, nowhere does it say about being convincing...

How is that transphobia?

A lot of folk won't meet people that young

Thankyou. That was the issue. The guests age ! But the OP is making it out to be about something else.."

I've just checked your forum post and nowhere does it say it's 21+ - maybe you can ensure that is part of your blurb for such socials in future...

However...

You need to realise your handling of this isn't great... Several times in your post you have talked about a convincing 'TV' and stressed it's because it's not about fetishwear etc...

Someone who is transitioning (what ever stage they are at) doesn't owe anyone 'convincability' they are living their life as the gender they should be. They come up against enough stigma and abuse in the world. Your phrasing and they way you approached this (irrespective of the age limit of your event) isn't great and it would be good if you'd acknowledge this and reflect on how your language around the trans community going forward.

Think the main problem has been the location it’s not a club ? There are problems that can happen when using a pubs private room ?

Don’t think what has been told to us means anything more than the party organisers trying to make sure that all will have the best time in a safe environment.

Sorry but I’m not sure I’d feel comfy with someone so young being there ?

I hope that everyone involved can talk privately and get this sorted out

If that was the issue, maybe try not asking if trans people are "convincing" in future.

You may not have meant that as insulting, but it's really insensitive at best.

With socials they often don't release venue details until the last minute, I know it's rare but some venues are over 21 - no need for the convincing comment though

I’d love to see a discussion on why “convincing” is offensive, I kinda don’t get it

We all get judged on physical attractiveness. We all have preferences. And trans people exist on a spectrum in terms of how along their transition they are.

If your privileged and rich you can transition with all the surgery and look better then most women

Maybe you aren’t so lucky and hope your genetics work out well for a feminine look

Maybe your early in your transition and from looks alone we couldn’t even tell you’ve started

Aren’t we just asking how far along that spectrum you think you are? I’m not attracted to men, so I’m gonna be more attracted to people further along one side of that spectrum

Woukd it be better to ask “are you attractive?”

Or just avoid it all together and ask for a pic?

I don’t feel great when I get asked my height or my penis size, or for full nude pics and up to date face pics. I don’t like it, but I understand people have preferences they want to meet. I don’t find it offensive

How long before my query gets dismissed as bigoted hatred towards trans though?

You're ignorance is infuriating. We don't need approval from you CIS people. If one of us says we are a trans woman, then we ARE a trans woman, regardless of how we look and how "convincing" you deem us to look. Sandi Toksvig doesn't look feminine at all but she is a CIS woman, are you going to judge how "convincing" she is?

I’ve noticed you seem very angry in a lot of your comments. I’ve seen a lot of TVs/Trans use the word convincing. So how about drop the aggressive attitude and maybe try and educate people because I for one am not interested in anything you have to say with that attitude

Sadly, many CIS people go off their rocker if we don't state that we are trans within the first sentence of introduction. I was told I am misleading people the other day when they said am I trans and I simply said I'd prefer not to say.

All some people do on here is look for words people might say to twist them in order to try an make it some sort of phobia or ist. It’s so fucking obvious too. I’ve seen it loads lately and it’s sad and says more about them than anyone else.

I am a trans woman. I wear plenty of make up to look glamorous and feminine. I wear pencil skirts and accessories like cravats.

Sandi is a CIS woman, she wears no make up. She has a quiff in her hair like Jedward have and they are men. She wears baggy jeans and baggy shirts and trainers.

Yet it's us trans girls who get judged and assessed on how "convincing" or feminine we look and people like Sandi Toksvig look like "ordinary" women apparently.

"I am a trans woman. I wear plenty of make up to look glamorous and feminine. I wear pencil skirts and accessories like cravats.

Sandi is a CIS woman, she wears no make up. She has a quiff in her hair like Jedward have and they are men. She wears baggy jeans and baggy shirts and trainers.

Yet it's us trans girls who get judged and assessed on how "convincing" or feminine we look and people like Sandi Toksvig look like "ordinary" women apparently.

Your picking a fight out of thin air

I know you think people are transphobic, but judging by your replies I think they might just not like your attitude in some instances Civilised debate, not a fight, it's not 2009 MSN.

Sadly u won't win with some people here! I fully understand your frustrations! So much ignorance in the world makes me sad!

Who? Who won’t win? Are you talking about this thread as I’ve just looked through and I don’t see any transphobia. Or are you talking about people in general life who are transphobic?

I just want to say, I am sorry if some people thought any of my posts were a personal attack on them, it wasn't. It was an attack on transphobic behaviour. Not everyone on the forums are bad people.

"Well i put my name down for a social, later asked if a trans friend could come as a plus 1.

I got asked if they were convincing in a pub, i said they were, and pretty and 20.

Suddenly theres a age limit of 21.

Also i wasn't aware you needed to be convinving if you're trans to frequent a pub?

I'm a licensed door supervisor soi have a basic knowledge of licencing laws, nowhere does it say about being convincing...

This is very sad to read. I have only been to one social and I was the only transgender attendee. But I was made to feel incredibly welcome and it was a great night. So I just wanted to say not all socials are as judgemental as the one you mention and I'm sure there are other events where your attendance will be embraced. Hope you find such an event soon.

It’s unfortunate but same thing with racism and homophobia, it’s present and probably will never go away… just call it out but equally don’t waste too much of your time and energy on it!

So you didn't get an answer you wanted and you automatically put it down to something extreme? 'Nice' way to cheapen actual victims.

I always thought the convincing was entirely based on facial features. How feminine someone looks. No including style or body

To me it’s just a way of asking “am I going to meet someone that has a lot of feminine facial features”. Nothing to do with “am I going to judge or label this person as woman / man / no women enough or whatever”

I'm here wondering why trans people who don't look "convincing" aren't welcome.

Do we have to be pretty and feminine to attend a public social?

I look like Trunchball but I don't get turned down.

Are people so scared of being judged they pander to societal normality?

You can walk into pubs in London and see all manner of human beings, dressed in weird and wonderful clothing.

My first thought wouldn't be, oh, I bet they're swingers, the filthy fuckers.

"I’d love to see a discussion on why “convincing” is offensive, I kinda don’t get it

We all get judged on physical attractiveness. We all have preferences. And trans people exist on a spectrum in terms of how along their transition they are.

If your privileged and rich you can transition with all the surgery and look better then most women

Maybe you aren’t so lucky and hope your genetics work out well for a feminine look

Maybe your early in your transition and from looks alone we couldn’t even tell you’ve started

Aren’t we just asking how far along that spectrum you think you are? I’m not attracted to men, so I’m gonna be more attracted to people further along one side of that spectrum

Woukd it be better to ask “are you attractive?”

Or just avoid it all together and ask for a pic?

How long before my query gets dismissed as bigoted hatred towards trans though?

I think because it sounds like trying to trick somebody.

I think the word used nowadays is PASSING.

Do you pass as a woman or a man.

Also passing is a privilege and isn’t about how attractive somebody is.

A trans woman can pass as a woman but not be an attractive one, it only means that they look, sound, behave just like any cis woman.

But I agree with all you said, genetics come into play (so is someone naturally feminine looking,are they small etc) and then money, for sure! But if someone has good genetics then the less work they have to do, the better.

Early transitioners generally are the ones who pass the easiest

It’s just the truth

She wasn't going there to have sex with anyone, so it wouldn't matter anyway.

Ah, there we go. I get it now. I didn’t think of the added part of “convincing” someone = tricking

Makes sense

So passing or passable? Someone that has a lot of feminine attributes would be passable?

I said in an earlier post about how I just assumed it meant face? Is that true?

Like if I see someone dressed as a man, acting like a man, sounding like a man, but they looked like ariana grande, I’d say they pass

Do you think it’s more then just face? Or is it a personal opinion thing?

Just pass or passing.

Well if Ariana Grande sounded just like a man, you’d probably think “what the fuck”

And you’d know there’s something “off”

So she wouldnt be passing (or at least her looks would pass). Voice is probably the prime factor when it comes to being able to tell if somebody is trans.

Passing is more like…… you’d be surprised if somebody said They were trans if you didn’t know.

It can just be with looks too tho, you walk down the street, and you see somebody and don’t think “they must be trans”

They pass (at least visually)

There is a new culture of people who demand to be victims and demand to be the centre of the universe and everyone else adjusts their language and culture.

It’s absolutely nothing to do with trans , but unfortunately it’s a few trans activists driving it infiltrating big media and public bodies like bbc and U.K. universities. The Marxist left can’t get power politically anymore so this is the next best option

I’m sorry but that’s only gonna do the exact opposite.

I think lived experience and telling that story with grace and passion, in a pure genuine way, will make individual who don’t totally understand trans issues, or what it means to be trans, listen and think , maybe… “oh yes , shit, I see that and I respect that”

I always say that I don’t need people to fully understand what I’ve gone through or how it feels to be in my shoes, but I appreciate when people listen and maybe learn something new from me and my experiences

Maybe you aren’t so lucky and hope your genetics work out well for a feminine look

Maybe your early in your transition and from looks alone we couldn’t even tell you’ve started

Aren’t we just asking how far along that spectrum you think you are? I’m not attracted to men, so I’m gonna be more attracted to people further along one side of that spectrum

Woukd it be better to ask “are you attractive?”

Or just avoid it all together and ask for a pic?

How long before my query gets dismissed as bigoted hatred towards trans though?

She looks like a perfectly ordinary woman

Please do elaborate on what you mean by "ordinary", I'd love to know.

Omg this place is unreal! People can’t say anything! Ffs

Pisses me right off.

There is a new culture of people who demand to be victims and demand to be the centre of the universe and everyone else adjusts their language and culture.

This too

Unfortunately there is bullying and ridicule everywhere.

All through my life as a child, at school and in every job Ive done I was abused because I looked "different",ie feminine features and because of my height,that was BEFORE I started transitioning.

Some people were born in the wrong body and if anyone has ever done the SAGE tests they will know there is a lot more to it than just looks, (ie fem thought patterns).

Personnally as a frequent member on here for many years Ive never experienced any phobic comments at all, and 99% of male enquirers are "straight", having said that I never approach anyone first.

There is a far right Tory newspaper who publish anti-trans features daily to whip things up, but, to be fair thats usually because of the looney "Trans-rights" activists causing mischief, I wish the activists would go away ,they are causing far more damage and hatred, they dont speak for me, I blend in, keep myself to myself ,I dont totter down the street in a party wig with thigh boots, and, being as though I am not having the final op I DONT consider it my right to use womens changing rooms or toilets.

It was mentioned online that when not long after brexit was started, there was a decrease in tolerating the LGBTQ community.

"Well i put my name down for a social, later asked if a trans friend could come as a plus 1.

I got asked if they were convincing in a pub, i said they were, and pretty and 20.

Suddenly theres a age limit of 21.

Also i wasn't aware you needed to be convinving if you're trans to frequent a pub?

I'm a licensed door supervisor soi have a basic knowledge of licencing laws, nowhere does it say about being convincing...

We had a reading social in a pub and a lovely trans woman joined us.

Interesting perspective. This site is merely a microcosm of society.

I would absolutely expect to find misogynist, racism, homophobia and transphobia here, just as I do in wider society.

That said, it’s not nice that you and your friend had to go through that and at least you now know where not to visit

You said your friend was 20.

They said there is an age limit of 21.

"@damian. Thank you for sharing your side. From your reply I saw you had a concern you wanted to be reassured on. Having read this thread, would you rephrase how you addressed that concern, and how ? Or are you happy with the appraoch you took?

(Assume she was 25 to avoid the age angle to all this)"
not Damian. @lizzy

Why not just ask if you could bring a +1? No need to elaborate on that.

I’m baffled too as people have the option of choosing what there looking for so choosing to abuse transgender is next level! Bad these people really need educating ??
