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.

I have to admit, when I read the negativity towards trans people on mumsnet I was initially shocked.

I kinda always feel a bit inferior on here as a lot of posters seem very intelligent and so full of knowledge, but when I read all the negativity towards trans men and women it does surprise me a little I guess I thought that views on mumsnet are quite progressive and forward thinking and to be negative towards transgender feels the opposite.

However I will say as always reading posts regarding transgender and feminism has challenges my own kinda blinding acceptance of the issues of women’s rights being compromised. It’s always good to read oposing views from your own for obvious reasons. However I think op is right about being on the wrong side of history.

Ditto what @Hidingtonothing said. Perfection in a post!

I find it sad that some women are prepared to throw other women and girls under a bus just to get brownie points from men who could not give a stuff about them. It's really pathetic.

Who is campaigning against trans rights?
I thought that people were campaigning against the dissolution of women's rights.

Is that you Owen?

Hidingtonothing · 15/01/2018 16:42

I suspect you're right sadly Lyra although I find it pretty disgusting that you will gain satisfaction from saying 'I told you so' when the repercussions will be so awful for women and girls. Having their safety compromised and their rights trampled all over would rightly apall any decent person, maybe have a think about what that says about you?

The campaign isn't against trans rights. The campaign is to protect women's rights.

There's a very important difference in there.
