Just seen a video of a trans woman minding her business in a train station getting horribly bullied by some Tommy Robinson wanna-be and couldn't help but think back to all the aggressive threads I've seen on Mumsnet.

Pages and pages of vilifying innocent trans people, calling them perverts and all sorts with zero evidence of anything of the sort of course would lead to people like this harassing and attacking trans people in public. I've see a few of so-called GC brigade say 'this isn't what we wanted' but it is the end, isn't it? If you do see trans people as disgusting abusive perverts trying to sneak into your changing rooms and hurt your daughter, you'd want them to be bashed in public yeah?

Am I wrong to think their chickens are coming home to roost and certain posters will want to claim they never had a hand in it all?

No because the op has a very good point and it’s happening. Some of us care about the trans community. I won’t just deal with it but will remind discriminating bullies of the damage they cause.

Off you go to X, then. Apparently the man involved is there so you can talk to him directly.

The women’s rights bullies do nothing all day aside from waiting for a thread on the subject and swooping down on mass.

Are you saying women have to intimidate men in order to achieve equality?

Hoardasurass · 15/09/2026 17:44

Hmm but what about the women on the left and far left who have not only sacrificed all of women's rights but even the words we need to describe ourselves as a sex class separate from all males?
Do you think that they've been manipulated aswell or is it only those who want to retain womens rights who have been manipulated?

Excellent question.

I feel for children growing up. It's normal to feel confused. Many of these children also have disabilities too. Counselling should be available to them all.

First do no harm. Some might call harm not affirming them, others might say doing no harm means not offering drugs to stop sexual organs growing into maturity. Time and not rushing seems sensible.

No but perhaps you shouldn’t have phoned up all of us and told us to vote?

you shouldn’t have created lots of fake MN accounts to boost the numbers ?

No, I do not believe women wanting their legal rights upheld is far right.
I still suggest reading the book as it shows how some women have been manipulated into giving up women’s rights by the far right while being manipulated into thinking they are fighting for women’s rights.

Sounds interesting. Can you give an example?

(Also reminded of Leftist movements like Sex Work is Work and Sex Positivity that purport to be empowering for women but actually deliver our bodies more easily to men, who somehow get the memo we should be more sexually available to them, but not the one about us deserving respect as equals regardless of whether we have or even sell sex or not).

backformoreofthesame · 15/09/2026 18:48

The other thing is that OP shouldn’t see one persons post and assume that all MN think the same way

certainly most would have pity for parents handling transgender child issues rather than call them abusive . there are a few however who may well have been abusive. Probably OP is generalising again

If you have a struggling chld you have my sympathies, MintGreen. Nothing harder than seeing our children struggle.

Plenty of threads. I’m not scrolling through hundreds of historic threads. It’s there.

I’ve seen many, many posts saying all parents of trans children are child abusers. Posts completely denigrating and accusing all trans people of being predators have become the norm.

I think it’s abuse for a parent to encourage a boy to think they can become a girl. It’s making them think that something that is completely and utterly impossible is true, to base their whole lives on a lie. They re going to be excluded from women and girls single sec spaces - rightly, legally, for women and girl’s privacy dignity and safety - and it’s going to distress them.

That distress has been directly caused by their parents egging them on instead of telling them the truth - they they are and always will be male - and helping them come to terms with their feelings.

ArabellaScott · 15/09/2026 18:44

MintGr33n · 15/09/2026 18:43

Nope. Calling struggling parents child abusers is not ok particularly when those doing the vile name calling have never walked the walk.

RedToothBrush · 15/09/2026 18:44

Should women put up with transwomen demanding to join breast feeding groups?

Cos this is actually the type of thing that some of us have personal experience of.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 15/09/2026 18:43

ArabellaScott · 15/09/2026 18:39

It's so blooming random. OP sees a film on X of two men interacting and their impulse is to come on MN and hurl insults at women.

It really is.

Exactly, it’s really very common for women to be casually sexually harassed, mocked, sexually assaulted on public transport, in stations and everywhere else. It’s happened to me many times, including in the last year. The reason: misogyny.
