Transexual people are rejecting 'transgender'

There is a new twitter hashtag #tsraincrew for transexual people who feel that the push for self ID is very damaging. They are speaking up against self ID transactivists. There seems to be a decent take up.

What do you mean, yet another

The rhetoric, the articles, media discussions are making trans people, trans issues etc much more visible - and I worry there's an impression of trans people being formed by people who may not know any trans people but assume we all have these views and attitudes.

I've noticed a lot lot more articles recently.

I hope that when this madness subsides they, and all the rest of us, can go back to living our lives peacefully and respecting of others’ reasonable wishes and needs

Personally, I worry where all this is going.

There seems to have been a real head of steam recently.

Don’t do Flowers often, yet, but here you are.

I have begun sticking my head more above the parapet - but I do really worry when I do that. Never had so many notifications.

Well done them. I have always been impressed by @jayceedove, @yetanothertranswoman, @truscum and any other trans people who post on here detailing their experiences, articulating their concerns and supporting women. I hope that when this madness subsides they, and all the rest of us, can go back to living our lives peacefully and respecting of others’ reasonable wishes and needs.

Women and a significant number of transsexuals saying together 'this isn't safe for any of us' would be very hard to argue with

Absolutely. And quite a few people seem to approve.

I really want the media to pick up on this schism in the trans community. I think most people regard “trans” as meaning gender dysphoric transsexuals. Reporting on their rejection of the trans umbrella and the reasons why would go a long way to dispel that particular myth and prompt for more sane discussions around self ID

Great!

Wow, seven hex is bloody amazing.

I wish them well, they'll have a tough fight getting out from that "umbrella".
