Why were trans threads hidden?

What happens on MN when a poster is abusive?

Pony is right, though, and I brought this up yesterday and never received an answer. What do trans reddits have to do with how women treat each other on FWR? Why should they influence your behaviour to such a degree?

Jesus Christ! That's appalling!!!!

To those saying "both sides", I call BS:

What is transphobic about wanting women's rights protected? I can't understand why all women wouldn't want to have their rights protected. Surely you have mothers, sisters, daughters in your life as well as yourself who want to feel safe and have safeguarding in place. There is nothing anti -trans about wanting to protect our rights. Trans people have lost nothing because they didn't have those rights (to encroach on single sex spaces) to begin with. The fact that we had to fight to protect what was already ours is crazy. And the fact that the brave women who spoke out about it are called 'anti-trans' and abuse is hurled at them is deplorable. I just don't get why some women are completely missing the point and actually joining in on this rhetoric.
I think it's good that we are discussing this and more people are hearing all sides. I think we will look back on this and think it's all so obvious. Of course women should have the right to single sex spaces. Of course that should be based on biological sex. Of course it's not possible to change biological sex. Calling someone 'anti-trans' is just a way to silence them. Finally women will be able to speak more freely. Please stop putting down women on this topic and please realise it is for your benefit that this law exists. Trans people are still protected under the equality law.

Long may that continue.

I suspect you are right.

"Now look what you've made me do". I'm sure none of the women here have never heard that defence before.

You appear to just want an argument. I’m not interested though.

I’m completely unapologetic @Ponypuff- take it or leave it. I’m not going to walk on eggshells around anyone. And that goes for all the other Tone Police too. If you don’t like what I say, don’t engage with me.

Quite.

Also, what gave you the idea that you can both scold women for rudeness and be rude to them at the same time? Cake and eat it.

Believe me, we’ve all done that too. Getting threatened with rape by men on Twitter does that to you, and makes you impatient with hyperbole when posters don’t like your tone. Perhaps you should take a look at some of the shit GC women get.

Abusive male people with transgender identities don’t use threats of violence just on reddit. It is across all platforms and real life.

That website keating linked highlights a mere fraction.

There is no fucking symmetry at all. Yet those male people get a mere hand wave and told they are not representative. So just more double standards.

I think that the TRA and males who are violating women's spaces are not actually authentic trans people - they just use trans ideology for their own purpose.

I have an autistic teen DS who is struggling with his gender. And when I have asked for support on here there has been a number of people that have been quite nasty. Normal people like my DS have lots of empathy for women. My DS is fully in favour of women having their own spaces. He deserves empathy to for his struggles that have had devastating effects on his mental health.

There seem to be a few posters who don’t care for the tone of this board but seem to think it’s both their right and duty to scold women here and talk to them like something they just scraped off their shoe, and then be mortally offended when we either ignore it or give it right back with both barrels. It’s very tedious and predictable.

Why on earth does the issue of male violence against women provoke a response of 'Not this again 🙄'

Could you be anymore clear that women don't matter? Absolutely shocking

FYI, prior to this ruling, many activist groups had been campaigning, for several years, to have sex removed from the EA as a protected characteristic. If sex isn't a protected characteristic, there are no women-only services, no women-only groups, no guarantee of same sex provision and no women's sports. This is, as far as I am aware, the first time in history that a minority group has tried to assert its rights as requiring the removal of rights from another group. Maybe think about that? A campaign for rights that demands that another group loses theirs? This is why this ruling was so important. Oh, and for the avoidance of doubt, defending hard-won women's rights is not transphobia. I was very active on Twitter on this subject for a long time. I've had rape threats, death threats, attempts to have social services take my children from me, attempts to have me sacked, and an attempted home invasion. But yeah, I'm the big bad transphobe.
