Unwitting trans agenda allies

From some of the other threads I got to thinking about who supports the trans agenda.

I think that the vast majority of men do not but equally they are not impacted by it so, with rare and welcome exceptions, they completely ignore it and get on with their life.

However women, due largely to socialisation I suspect, want to be kind and supportive to people who they believe (due to uncritical media portrayals, Channel 4 I'm looking at you) were born in the wrong body. They also support LGB so how can you not support T?

So I think part of the ongoing task is to inform other women of the reality of the issue. Our friends and family and when they get it they will discuss it with the men in their lives. Foucusing on sports and changing rooms and refuges rather than bathrooms.

The GRA consultation could be just what is needed to bring this whole thing out into the open and is a good hook to hang a conversation on, especially with so much in the media about it right now.

I don't agree that trans allies are doing so 'unwittingly'. Most adults are able to form opinions of their own.

There is no appetite from the LGB people I know to detach the T.

What is worrying is that GC feminists are attacking lesbians for not being gender critical. Informing other women of an opinion is one thing but having a go at lesbians for not being GC is worrrying.

You're right.

At the other end of (if not unwitting then perhaps not entirely deliberate) trans allies, the ones with a hell of a lot of clout, I came across a piece about the funding of transgenderism

thefederalist.com/2018/02/20/rich-white-men-institutionalizing-transgender-ideology/

There's a list of rich males, some transgender but many gay. Then the comment
'Separating transgender issues from LGBT infrastructure is not an easy task. All the wealthiest donors have been funding LGB institutions before they became LGBT-oriented, and only in some instances are monies earmarked specifically for transgender issues'

In other words much of the financial support for T may have come from the effective takeover of LBG .
