“The majority of trans people are not bad. Another thing that is problematic is identity, currently anyone can switch identity pretty much on a whim and within that there's a risk of that being used for bad ie men saying they are women to access women's spaces to do harm. That's what needs to change not trans people”.
Good people do allow ‘bad’ things to happen in the name of tolerance or turn a blind eye to ‘bad’ things .
We are constantly told to ‘accept without exception’ by supposedly ‘good’ people. That mantra allows for harm to be done more easily through lowering of boundaries. Do you deny this?
The push to force acceptance of any male who wants entrance into female single sex spaces has absolutely allowed harm to be done.
That is just the start. That doesn’t even cover the political agenda that was allowed to be prioritised above providing best care for children and adolescents needing care for gender dysphoria. Nor sports, nor representative roles for female people being given to males, nor the very wide impact of gender identity ideology across the spectrum of the sex based rights of the female half of the population.
You might like to separate the world into ‘good’ and ‘bad’, however, I now consider any person who has supported actions which has allowed harm to occur to females of all ages to be complicit in that harm. It needs to be owned by even those who have attempted to shame women discussing these issues that concern them on MN.
What needs to change is the mantras need to stop. That the outcomes need to be acknowledged and understood how this has come about. That supporters who blindly silenced women acknowledge their part too. And that a group of people with unique needs now work to have those needs met without allowing, intentionally or not, harm to other groups or within that group where groups intersect (as is the case of female trans people and children).
Denying that this has all happened due to a group within the trans community and their own political agenda will help no one.
