I'm relatively new to the transgender debate but since coming onto Mumsnet I have learned so much from the discussions on these boards. I've found the ones with links especially useful because quality information about this subject is very hard to find.

I can think of a few threads that I've found particularly eye opening and so thought I'd share these and ask for more links from you guys. I know that some of your have been posting for years but I think there are more and more people asking questions and trying to educate themselves. I would really like it if anyone knows of any older threads which we should read, because there is so much activity on fwr that threads can disappear after a couple of days. Here are some threads that helped in my #PeakTrans

Trans Resource thread.

Like I said, I've only been on here a few months so if any of the regulars could share older threads that would be FAB.

@DJLippy No special clauses involving calls for diplomacy then? The thread itself isn't trans-specific. If it was, I'd have gone there. From what I'm reading, I'm trolling if I ask twice.

Check out the troll thread above it's still active I think

How does one deal with 'Trolls' (as you would see them) who repeatedly suggest (or demand) that Feminists and Trans-ists need to collaborate more openly when "needs must", and that the most suitable place for it is here?

(I was planning to post this on the "deal with Harrassment" thread but it seemed too general a topic. Happy to stick it anywhere, really. Just let me know....)

There was the one where we talked about trans ideology in academia, and the one about lesbian culture disappearing. Sorry am breastfeeding so can't search.
