I was reading through Huda Elmi's, one of the JC9's blog today and her accompanying tweets. I can't link to it, as a new user.

She says in a tweet that the vast majority of feminists don't wish to exclude trans or erode their rights. Her implication is, I think that that the vast majority of feminists are cool with the impending GRA,

I'm going to be honest and say, I don't know the difference between a radical feminist and a common, all garden feminist. As far as I know, I am in the latter camp and don't see myself as being especially radical but I am not happy about the GRA.

Anyway the question I really want to ask is, is it true that the vast majority of feminists don't have concerns about the GRA? I am assuming, from her tweet that she means that if you aren't happy about the GRA, it then you must desire the erosion of trans rights? I was just wondering if there is any evidence that as a feminist, I am in the minority with my beliefs.

You're very new, aren't you? And this is the first thing you've ever posted here...

It’s because it’s not worth the shit you would be subjected to if you even hinted at being gender critical. You would get death threats and your employer would be lobbied to sack you. I really cannot be doing with that shit so I shut up. Even people who just follow a GC account get hounded by that dick Harrop. He is out of control.

I was just joking about the hub for TERFs thing, in case it didn't come across. I just wondered if there is any kind of evidence to back up bold statements about what apparently the vast majority of feminists believe.

Ha! But how do I know this isn't just a hub for TERF's as Adrian Harrop reckons and I'm just an oddity? Is there any real evidence?

I am reading lots of twitter at the moment and see feminists and local female political types that I respect and agree with on many issues, accept the trans women are women mantra. It makes me feel like an oddity.
