Why were trans threads hidden?

Since the ruling that biological sex matters I've been reading more and more. Every day.

To my shame, I didn't really follow the issue or consider it before. The more I read, the more horrified I am at how women who've been campaigning have been treated by society, by TRA activists, by other women and even on mumsnet hidden in a corner in sex and feminism.

JK Rowling having rape and death threats for sharing her concerns. Women being cancelled. This is an every women and every girl issue.

With the rise in toxic masculinity and misogyny in schools and society we all need to talk about this more.

Well done to those that did the talking and campaigning for the safety of all women.

congrats @ImConfusedDotComHelp - It's great you're engaging with it now. You're right - it's so important.

Are you starting to talk to people about it in real life too? Men and women? I've found it fascinating what other people think and especially the men seemed to think things were very different.

I think the more we all talk about it, the easier it will become to create a country that is beginning to support women and girls again.

Absolutely.

I actually got deleted for mentioning at the time that I was appalled at Jordan stripping naked on Friday night live and playing the piano with his penis and saying that I thought it seemed like exhibitionist behaviour at the very least.

Of course it was completely applauded at the time as stunning and brave.

I think many a thread and post was deleted on the topic.

it was appalling that people treated it as brave and stunning.

Name one 'transphobic' post on here.

Womens rights isn't 'transphobic'. If it is, trans rights are femphobic and misogynist.

Oh I doubt it.
The only hate is coming from the TRA side.

Maybe it was the fact that a woman called Jordan Gray 'he'. I mean any person who took such great delight in playing the piano with their penis on national television should be centred and be called 'she' surely?

I’ve hidden all the feminist topics because they might as well have been named the transphobia topics.

The need for some women to make every thread into an anti trans issue has become tedious. And while it can be argued that the ruling is a positive in some senses, it is just going to lead to more transphobia and hatred of the trans community.

There is an awful lot of wrong on both sides of the discussion.

Agree with this.

A lot of them on Mumsnet certainly do lack empathy. Or at least empathy for trans people.

Show quote history

Where are transwomen's empathy for females? Why do you feel females should have empathy for males who are violating our spaces and boundaries?

This, the goading has been insufferable the last few days.
It is the equivalent of Brexit for the racists.

And do you also agree that women being raped in not large numbers is ok?

Gosh yes, death threats to women are so boring aren't they?

Especially when you're trying to scold women for standing up for their rights. How dare they bring this up again?

She made it quite clear how many women experienced Gray’s mediocre little “turn” on prime time TV. He’s vile.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 22/04/2025 21:49

Also, sorry you find threats of male violence towards women so unutterably tedious @Ponypuff

Ereshkigalangcleg · 22/04/2025 21:48

It’s really not just “GC posters” who are rude. Look in the mirror, you’re not particularly polite yourself. That’s fine, but don’t presume to hold me or other women to a higher standard.

“Brexit for the racists” We lease don’t tell me you think Brexit was about racism.

So how does all this so called 'goading' and 'unpleasantness' compare to this?

It's unbelievable that a lot of people are likening the SC ruling to Brexit and racism.

Show quote history

But linking trans rights with racism is literally straight out the pro trans playbook. They were told this was a good tactic to sell trans rights

But it isn't equal to the rape and death threats prominent Women's Rights activists have received from Trans Rights Activists. Not remotely.
