A new FB group has been set up Tuesday, intended as a place where both sides can talk to each other.The rules for the group state that it is only for people to actually engage earnestly, with arguments rather than hurling abuse.

It also states coherent arguments would be a non-starter if we can not acknowledge the reality of biological sex.

It is a closed group, but obv. screenshot will happen.

I applaud the intention, but I don’t personally think discussions will lead anywhere. However, that is mostly based on the exhaustion I feel now, as a result of the unrelenting attacks on women’s rights.

If others are willing to actually engage with genuine trans activists, as opposed to the faux ingenue types we get here, I certainly applaud you.

The group says the group name is misleading (although they chose it?)

If one of the caveats is that biological sex is a reality, I don't see how it would work, since TRAs categorically deny it.

A few years back this would’ve seemed like a good idea.

The TRAs have since proved they are not interested in debate or the possibility of changing their minds. If they engage in something like that it will be to narc and sealion at women.

Looks like a terrible excuse to add to the terf list, but confirming real names instead of aliases. Not a chance I’d use a fb group to discuss transactivism. It’s basically a shortcut to banning people from yet another platform.
