The full quote is:

'Mumsnet is a perfect example of how bigotry and hatred can become amplified in an echo chamber - I'd bet at least half of the anti-trans sentiment comes from people who have a driving need to protect their children and loved ones, but their feelings have been targeted and manipulated by lies.'

AIBU to wonder who are the people targeting mumsnet users and manipulating us with lies exactly? Or are we just targeting and manipulating ourselves with these lies because we are an echo chamber? Also interesting on this comment section - only 'Karens' are anti trans, so we have trans rights supporters telling people to be inclusive and tolerant, whilst they get to be exclusionary and hypocritical? Smells fishy to me...

a driving need to protect their children and loved ones.

I wish we had been able to do so. Breasts don't regrow. Broken voices don't revert. Male pattern baldness is not a thing I'd wish on any young woman. I'm yet to be convinced of the compensatory benefits.

What lies have we been fed, other than by the trans lobby?

Thanks Owen, but I came to the conclusions I have all on my own, even with my silly pink brain!
