Fuck off fucking life up for those trans people trying to live our lives.

I heard about some of the stuff people like you got up to but I've had my eyes opened today. Seriously opened.

Stop talking about lady penises.
Stop saying you are a woman.
Stop demanding women be quiet when they raise concerns about what's happening.
Stop harassing woman online
Stop intimidating women trying to speak about their concerns.
Stop initimidating women trying to do a clothes swap.
Stop demanding access to female spaces and just saying "It will be ok"
Stop taking women's spaces as women's officers when you haven't got a fucking clue about life as a woman.

All you are fucking doing is making life more difficult for the rest of us and scaring the shit out of women.

Yes - trans people exist. Some of us have gender dysphoria which is bloody hard to live with. Some people just seem to think that putting on a skirt is enough to make you 'a woman'.

Are you capable of thinking about women and their concerns? All I've seen online is people saying it will be ok.

No - trans people are not the enemy. But there are some trans people and trans activists who scare the shit out of me with their demands and their behaviour.

I've tried to keep my head low and keep out of all this. But no more.

You don't speak for me and you don't speak for many trans people out there.

I've come to the conclusion that the most vocal TRAs don't actually give a shit about trans folk with dysphoria, they are actually just MRAs who have found a 'progressive' way to bully women and be considered the good guys whilst doing so.

I came to that conclusion a while ago tbh. This is why it annoys me so much to see other 'feminists' backing up the MRAs, oh sorry, TRAs. They genuinely seem to think they are fighting for transsexual people, when the GRA changes and such will not help transsexual people in any way, nor will businesses adopting 'self ID' and such. Its just nonsense. The fact that most TRAs call transsexual people truscum was enough to convince me that they are not in any way wanting to help transsexual people. I then clicked onto how similar to MRAs they really are.

This image may not work, as everything seems to shrink when I put it on here..

Flowers for the OP.

Rant away Any , get it out of your system, we're listening and you are being heard.

ReluctantCamper · 01/04/2018 21:14

Flowers OP. Great post.

Yes, it's a worry that trans people who just want to get on with their lives will get lumped in with TRAs in people's consciousness. The way these people behave jeopardises everyone's safety.

Greymisty · 01/04/2018 21:12

For you op Flowers

LizzieSiddal · 01/04/2018 21:11

This is what has concerned me about all the hoo-ha - that people will wary of (and less supportive/sympathetic/patient of) anyone with a 'trans' label and lump them all together as agitators, aggressive bullies, troublemakers and thiefs.

I need my voice to be heard. Reading some of the stuff today on other social media sites and seeing that a woman has been targeted simply for wanting to have clothes swap has really opened my eyes. I explored some of the stuff the activists have been saying and in this past week, I've been blocked, told that my concerns are unwarranted and seen blatant lies on social media from trans people who are in positions of influence.

I fear a backlash. The articles in the press really worry me - but I can see why people are concerned. And I have not heard even one prominent trans activist say 'Hang on, I can see that there are issues". Not one looking at the issue from a woman's perspective.

Thanks for the Wine I've not had any yet even though that first post sounds like it was under the influence.

Flowers and Wine or Brew (or both) according to your mood, yetanother Thank you for this. And I'm happy to stand in solidarity with you - I want your rights protected, I want you to be safe and able to lead your life without harassment or discrimination. The transactivist nutters are making life harder for all of us.
