Backlash against Trans women

(Story on ITV news about drag performer who died after taking drug ketamine, not suicide, just a regular user it seems who took more than usual.) Thus post isn't about him.

Anyway, bloke during story moaned that 'we are currently seeing a backlash against trans at the moment, particularly trans women' (men), and 'that's not a world I want to live in'.

I mean seriously, the TRA has been abusive to women for years for even mentioning any concerns, yet now trans women are victims (again). Perpetual victims it seems. These men are frankly ridiculous. I get fed up of the men in dresses and their victimhood.

Vast majority of trans women do not want to disadvantage women. You live in fear because of a tiny majority that is being blown our of proportion (on places like Mumsnet too). How many trans women do you actually know and how many of them tried to harm you in any way? I guess the number is zero, but you still feel the need to rant and be 'fed up with them'. Get out from your cave, go and talk to trans people, they dont bite.

We did.
They do.
Because they are men who do not respect women's boundaries.

Why is the death of someone taking an illegal substance anything to do with backlash against transwomen? They did it to themselves they made themselves a victim 🙄 nothing to do with backlash

I'm fed up of the whinging from them. I don't dislike them as individuals. They come over as tone deaf to the struggles of real women.

Edited

It's people like you who whinge and are tone deaf. Look in the mirror! Stop projecting.
You know both trans and biological women can struggle, it's not either or, it's not a race to the bottom.

Women are disadvantaged in certain ways and trans women (or men who present as feminine even if they don’t call themselves trans women) are disadvantaged in other ways. There is a genuine conflict of rights in some cases. But I don’t think this combative discourse between the two sides, of which this post is a perfect example, is helping resolve anything.

I mean this person is right isn’t he? Lots of people strongly dislike trans women. As evidenced by the fact you’re on here complaining you’re “fed up” of them. That doesn’t mean women don’t also have plenty of problems.
