Wrong side of history

Here is something I know to be true: those campaigning against trans rights will fail. Your money will be raised and spent and wasted. Your legal challenges will not succeed. Your relentless attempts to do injustice will fail. You are on the wrong side of history. Your children will grow up knowing better than you. You cannot stop progress. Your efforts are in vain.

And every time I'm proven right - every time a court judgment goes against you and every time a law protecting trans men and women is passed and every time equality is further enshrined in the laws of this country I am going to return to this thread for the pure and petty purpose of telling you I TOLD YOU SO.

Is that you Shon?

SamanthaBrique · 15/01/2018 19:24

I'm a bit confused as to who the woman is in this pic. Or are they both? Maybe Lyra can enlighten us all...

Fekko, you naughty, naughty poster. You know that should read "I know, I know, hand up mx!"

Correct.

Fekko · 15/01/2018 19:21

I was speaking to the 6”3 laydee at the back with the stubble who sounds like Bernard Blessed... (do I get a bonus point?).

Mumsnet right-wing? Oh fuck off, can't you even read?

EmpressOfTheSpartacusOceans · 15/01/2018 19:20

You are Lobby Lud Little Owen Jones and I claim my £5.

I'll add it to the fundraiser.

"tragic outpost of the seventies"

Ahhh so "transphobia"=bad but ageism=good in lyraland?
(Ps, you got my age a smidge wrong in your assumption)

Oh FFS, ignore her. Total irrelevance

Fekko · 15/01/2018 19:19

I know, I know, hand up miss! The correct answer is ‘any one of them who says so’. Do I get a ⭐️?

cafeaulaitpourvous · 15/01/2018 19:19

Every time I hear 'wrong side of history'. I think 'Paedophile Information Exchange'.

Funnily enough this is exactly what my terfy husband said the other day when I showed him the little boy in drag.....
My husband knows men can't be like he knows our 14 yr old focus cant be a Lamborghini ( even if he wishes so hard)

ATeardropExplodes · 15/01/2018 19:17

Lyra - quick question. On the attached photo. Which one of those would you view as a woman? Asking for a friend.

((((I think he/she/it thinks that boys can be girls if they say so - because they are boys and know better than girls, and will beat them up if they say it isn’t so, nay nya nya)))

Right wing? What are you on? I read half the threads on here and roll my eyes at how massively left wing it is half the time and I actually like the site!

ATeardropExplodes · 15/01/2018 19:15

I'd rather be upfront and honest about the fact that you literally cannot change sex, than pretend to be 'on the right side of history' until it comes to actually having a relationship with one...because that shows that you don't actually see transwomen as women, you are just doing it for other reasons...can't think what those might be.

Okay so easy question Lyra:

What are you right about and what are we wrong about?

BeeInMyBonnet1985 · 15/01/2018 19:14

Did you type all that one-handed Lyra? Impressive.

EamonnWright · 15/01/2018 19:14

Man.

PricklyBall · 15/01/2018 19:13

I love the "right wing and reactionary" slur! The whole point is that you're alienating swathes of left wing women, Lyra, the sort of women the Labour party relies on for votes and to go round the doorsteps polling. Hasn't it ever occurred to you to wonder why a group of people, solidly in favour of gay marriage, campaigning against racism, welcoming immigrants into our society, should suddenly turn round and say "hang on - this thing that we keep being told is so progressive... we're smelling a rat here... a nasty, misogynistic rat"?

snoofy · 15/01/2018 19:13

I think you'll find that MN is more left-wing.

The higher that total goes the happier I am because I can't wait to see your money wasted

Plenty more were that came from.

Fekko · 15/01/2018 19:12

Talking of descendants... that brings us back to the whole WOMEN GIVE BIRTH TO THE BABIES things again.

My descendent is already rolling his eyes - at the thought of women’s rights being eroded by men saying that they are women.
