How can I, as an individual transwoman, can make a stand against the TRA avalanche?

If someone notices that your name contains a word that is sometimes a slur, it is natural for them to wonder. And far better for them to ask, rather than simply silently assuming the worst.

Why was the last thread deleted?

Unbelievable, my name is luiza shortened to lu if I was trying to make a cunning point I would have changed it to simmonsSlu.
Perhaps you would now have the courtesy to apologise?

What would SimmonSlu mean? Is it a song?

Can someone explain what is going on here, preferably without cryptic tone indicators?

No.

Yes to encouraging men to include you in their spaces and normalise male spaces for gender nonconformists.
I think that you should major on this. Transwomen have nothing to fear from women. Your problem is the same as women's problem viz aggressive men.
In this age of soundbites you need a catchy slogan. I suggest #BeMankind. Reasonable people of either sex can get behind this. It's about time that men were asked to #BeKind instead of it being women all the time.

transitioning should be restricted to adults of sound mind. There should be a clear CAVEAT EMPTOR this will not change your sex but it may allow you (as in my case) to live more easily in your skin.

Now I could live with this. I can accept men dressing as women, and having operations to make them look more like women (and women > men). This does not make them actual women or men though, and as such trans women/men should not be included in cometitions under the sex they look like, but rather, under their natal sex. This includes all types of competition: physical/sporting, literary, career achievement such as"first female CEO" or "first woman on the front line" etc etc.
Nor should trans people be imprisoned as per their chosen sex.

1)Keep calling yourself a transwoman. Do not call yourself a woman.

2. Respect women’s spaces, fight for separate transwomen’s spaces.

3. Live your life honestly and be kind to us, we don’t hate you despite the hate that is poured on us.

Creation of trans leagues and sports categories, particularly in sports like roller derby which are being destroyed by trans competitors. Starting at a local level, but would need to take into account sex based difference and safety based on this. Looking at sports like korfball developed to offset sex differences for example.
Especially important for trans men who can't take part in the female category if they are doping.

Being honest and calling for research into the effect of cross sex hormones over a long period of time, particularly with regard to the huge cohort of younger women identifying as trans.

Being clear with young people that stereotypes do not mean they are trans and that most gender non conforming people are not trans and do not require surgery.

What I'd like to see is transpeople leading a campaign highlighting the unfairness of their being excluded from the correct facilities for their sex, just because of how they identify. 'Widening the bandwidth of what it means to be a man', to paraphrase Alex Drummond.

And asking male trans allies like Owen Jones & the fox-killer to push for greater inclusiveness so that all prostate-havers, regardless of gender identity or surgery, feel safe in male toilets, changing rooms etc. They could use #YouCanPeeWithMe.

It also causes people to dislike and mistrust transwomen as a whole whatever their individual views on the matter.

I do think that's a real shame as well because women in general previously would have been strong allies with transwomen but the aggression of TRA's over the last few years have forced women to harden in order to face the issues

I have banged on about this a few times now. But if all the ‘reasonable’ trans people contacted Stonewall as a group and told them that they no longer represented them (and joined another support group at the same time that did suit them) it would send a powerful message. Considering we are told they are the majority by numerous posters.

Those who engage can check posting history and decide for themselves.

Sorry. Last name Simmons.

OP cleared their user name up in the last thread. Their name is Luiza. And I imagine first name Simmons.

Most of all, be prepared to take a lot of flack.

Here is how a different movement treat their heretics: www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2021/dec/04/abuse-intimidation-death-threats-the-vicious-backlash-facing-fomer-vegans

Go and talk to your MP if there are specific legislative proposals you don't agree with

Write to newspapers in support if they publish something you agree with

Talk to people you know in real life about the issues, especially men. Speak up if someone is trying to speak for you (especially non-trans TRAs) and you don't agree

Set an example to other transwomen by declining to use women's spaces/resources
