I see TRAs have latched onto a comment about how it's important to stand up when 'something bad' comes along - e.g. a harmful ideology. Nazism used as an example. Cue, 'you're comparing trans people to Nazis!' and 'that's even more offensive because trans people were persecuted by Nazis!' TRAs, neither of those things are true alright?

I doubt the idea of 'trans' people was widespread at all at the time. There were people attracted to the same sex, and there were cross-dressers - Göring was said to be a transvestite, and cross-dressing was common in the Wehrmacht. But the concept of being born in the wrong body wouldn't have been widely known. Some TRAs are claiming that 'the lack of historical records on LGBTQ+ issues, trans history in particular, is because Nazis literally burned them all'. Really? Isn't trans supposed to be a universal phenomenon? How did the Nazis wipe out all proof of it from their base in Europe in the space of 12 years?

Forgot to say - you might not want to give up the fight, but you are allowed to take a break.

Thanks again Glinner. You're not alone, you have the support of us here on the Feminism Chat board.

Can't thank you enough for speaking out.

Listening now and have posted on Facebook. Thank you so much.

"Glinner, thankyou for standing up for women and standing up for truth".
Worth a listen.

I can certainly see why Graham feels alone in this, clearly isn't because of us lot and more, but I also wonder why more well-known people are being so cowardly? The list of people I have no respect whatsoever for grows every day.

Thank you, Graham.

Ooooooohh, two people I so want to hear on the issue. Desperately want to watch it, but need to wait til kid sleeps.

NotTerfNorCis · 11/12/2018 19:48

Well said Glinner. Sorry to hear you feel alone. You aren't!

Brilliant Glinner. Don’t stop! Worth listening to if anyone new to the board wonders who some of the individuals discussed here are. Thank you for posting.
