"Grim post Ides, not one that makes you come across as ‘sharp’, I’d suggest. What makes you think those of us who have concerns about the impact of gender identity ideology, have never met, seen or been harassed by a trans woman? We don’t hate transwomen. Although I do not rate the one who harassed me."
Well, you don't exactly hate them here on Mumsnet, to be fair. Perhaps 'hate' is not the right word. It's just that very few here show any concern for them, and their needs and their rights, whatsoever. Thus any point - any point, whatsoever - that focuses on the miserable lives transwomen so often lead is instantly swivelled round, coldly, clinically, to a focus on how the rights of transwomen impinge on ... what's the term, now? Natal women. Transwomen, on Mumsnet, it's come to seem to me, are pretty much like stains in the toilet: they're to be treated - coolly and clinically - with intellectual and emotional Domestos. Forget them being in women's toilets and changing rooms - they shouldn't 'be' - exist - at all. There's a palpable sense of that here. It's a frigid, ugly, utterly cruel attitude, to me.
I really wish Mumsnetters would leave their transphobic attitudes behind. Ye Gods, even the Americans have managed that ... they'd pretty much done so even before the Trump era.
Time to move on. This transphobic ideology is so dead, now. No political party - no political grouping - is ever going to take it up. That must be clear by now, surely? No point in banging your heads against a brick wall, hmm? :)
