Have any of you seen the thread by AngryBird on Twitter?

I'm not sure who she is? I'm sure some of you probably know here (she/her, I'm not sure how she would like to be addressed, but I'm happy to be corrected).

I just think it's so sad to see how transexuals have been chucked under the bus by the new genderfeelz crap.

I don't do twitter, but I think this is the whole thread

I saw it via Graham Linehan's feed.

Great tweet.
I have to hope that people will listen to those with true personal experience of gender dysphoria. They can see the difference.

That was a well thought out thread. It reminds me of some of the boys I used to play with at school Smile - wonder where they are now.....

These people do need to have their voice heard. They are being drowned out by the hard line activists who claim to represent them and trampled under foot in their rush to validate wacky bullying behaviour and the wants of criminals.

I don't think most of the public is 'woke'. I'm not even sure most young people are. Some young people live in a real-ish world where they encounter stuff like old fashioned sexism and are busy dealing with limiting gender stereotypes.

But don't members of the public on the whole still believe that transgender means transexual? ie that most have surgery or at least have genital dysphoria.

I don't think the new "woke" public will listen to them.

It's unfashionable to be transexual. Or lesbian. Or feminist. Or even a woman it seems Hmm

And to think the government is actually seeking to get rid of the "antiquated" term transexual. Not just lesbians and women but transexuals are being erased.

This will surely come back to haunt governments worldwide, because, as angry birds makes clear, genital dysphoria is actually a serious medical condition and can't just be swept under the carpet.

There's an interesting analogy here too: we (myself and many other GC women) have long supported transexuals until the umbrella was extended so to speak.

Let's just hope that more and more transexuals peak trans, as the general public and handmaidens are much more likely to listen to them than listen to us.

Maybe we, too, need to take back that word: Trutrans, truthspeak, trugender, trufacts, anti-truth...

Wow that is powerful and gives an extremely detailed insight into the background of the trans takeover. I like the term "Trutrans"

I read it too, again linked from Graham. Very powerful stuff. Finally it seems some are feeling as though the time is right to speak out.

Yes, I just stumbled across it too and was wondering where to mention it. A brave TW telling it how it really is.
