Trans people want to steal your rights! And stroke your cat. They want to colonise your child's reading books, infiltrate your favourite prisons, appropriate the gold medals you would otherwise win for your peerless skills on the pummel horse, take the best seats on the Tube, demand that midwives talk exclusively about pregnant fathers, haunt your preferred changing rooms, run rampant through the Brownie Guides, go unchallenged in every echelon of the WI, burn all your favourite pronouns in an industrial furnace, benefit from all your oppression, demand your pet dog be addressed as Mx, frolic carelessly across the flower bed you've only just planted for God's sake, insist that there are more than two genders, require to be recognised as the gender 'combine harvester' one day and the gender 'quail' the next, piss on the toilet you wanted to reserve for your friends, and call you Cis which is like totally cruel because it sounds like sissy.
Alternatively, trans people are people, they are not trying to hurt you, most of you have never met one, none of you need to feel threatened by them, and there really isn't a need to start fifteen threads a week fretting that they're going to steal your last Bourbon Cream, appropriate or destroy feminism, or change your baby's name from Thomas to Pixie. Seriously, calm down.
AIBU?

I have total respect for transpeople and am alarmed by some of the "bloke in a dress" type comments on here, but the way you are so utterly sarcastic and dismissive of the concerns people have is reprehensible.
Oh gosh you are so witty and funny I have no idea how I can follow such a wonderful OP 
You think that's going to help, or is it just to make you feel better? What is the point of such an inflammatory and unpleasant post.
OMG are you my ex therapist?!? You sound just like the oh so sex positive marriage councillor we saw, when cissy cross dressing DH was trying to get me to shag other people and cried when I wouldn't! He was so #sad that if I wouldn't be happy with his new fetish, he was going to kill himself!!!
You are SOOOOO right OP, why would people like me (do I count as a person?) actually want to talk about our lives, in one of the few forums where we are allowed to! Gads, I should just get over it, it's just clothes after all, and isn't it all so marvellous, we can go GG shopping together! (Apart from the bit where he goes off to wank in the changing room, he's on his own there.)
Because trans just means one thing, innit, your experience is THE only possibility out there.
Have a biscuit OP and if anyone can point me to a font which expresses sarcasm, I would be grateful.
(NB, my DH and his gross are all true, read my old threads if you can be bothered to.)
op. Laughed out loud on the bus. Now now Not you know full well you are not allowed feelings or an opinion and should have done as your poor trans husband asked. Your refusal caused him actual pain and thats against his rights.
P.S hope you are doing well these days I remember your threads. 
Do you do actual discussion or just patronising? 
Not a daily mail reader thanks. Please find a post of mine on this subject in a thread and point out the pearl clutching and I'll be glad to discuss it. Actually bother to engage with any of the subject matter in depth and I'll be glad to discuss it. The transwomen participating on the threads (at least one of which I can think of in particular) are extremely articulate in debating and pointing out the issues with transactivism, I'm sure they'll be glad to debate actual facts, concerns, suggested legislation etc with you.
But your posts so far are about ridiculing, shaming, shutting down, silencing and never actually engaging with any real part of the issue. Winning many hearts and minds that way? If you really care about this issue this approach won't help. On the other hand, if you just wanted a barney and this seemed like as good as subject as any, have fun.

Many moons ago there used to be a transgender poster here, Kim, she very well may still be lurking. She had a real struggle keeping employment, and a roof over her childs head due to prejudices. Those prejudices are manifesting all over again
Still here.
