Does anyone else feel disheartened?

No one wants to eliminate 'trans'. It's about eliminating MALES from female spaces. You don't get to relabel or rebadge males a 'trans' and think that makes you a sacred group. As much as you want to eliminate and erase females as a group and as a vulnerable sex class.

I can't agree with that.

Firstly, many adolescents if left untreated with "gender affirming care" grow out of their trans identity.

Secondly, it might relieve the distress of believing that you are Napoleon Bonaparte to be dressed up in 19th century French clothing and exiled to St Helena, but we don't do that. Why not? Surely it would be the kind thing to do?

Russell Brand is a TRA. And pretty standard of one.

Nope. Women's spaces is the vehicle, trans elimination has been the stated goal of Gender Critical / TE rad fem thinking for decades. You only got out the fringes because religious conservatives saw you as useful fodder for their agenda.

No-one believes your fairy story that trans people are insane bullies, tantruming, intimidating and sulking their way through life. The more you denigrate, dehumanise and vilify us, the more obvious who is being harmed and who is doing the harming becomes.

The Supreme Court ruling affirmed our status as a minority demographic, and worthy of protection by UK society. You might be less confused by people's reaction to your constant monstering of us if you respected that.

Abusive men are all on your side of the fence. Russell Brand, Glinner, Matt Walsh, Lawrence Fox, Andrew Tate. Rod Liddle, Tommy Robinson. They all "know what a woman is" though so they get a platform for you to benefit from.

As I said before, you spit on a lot of good women when you spit on my life. And then you wonder why they say no to you.

It's just this kind of gaslighting that the public are seeing through now. The "there is no transphobia" ship has long sailed. The intentional cruelty enabled by Trump and now the UK is undeniable, and ongoing. Trump even boasted about how he uses us before elections to whip up his base. And Rowling doesn't even bother to pretend not to hate us anymore. The toothpaste is out of the tube, and the British public dislike bullies.

The LGB alliance provide an online chat service open 6 hours a week. That's too pathetic for words

The confirmation by the SC is YOUR pushback that you are receiving and shows we are winning the war. You can live your life but stay out of female only spaces if you were born male, stop letting females living our lives free of femphobic misogynists like yourself. Feminists aren't going to ever and I mean ever, and I mean EVER stop fighting for our rights and remove every male person from our spaces, so best you misogynist femphobic bullies get used to the pushback you are getting from society.

Then why are you getting pushback?

A majority of trans people deny that they have Gender Dysphoria. The fact is males are males and the SC so held. So put THAT in your pipe and smoke it!

The pushback you are experiencing is on transphobia, not anyone's rights. Your agenda is absolutely about stopping me living my life, and has been since Janice Reymond all the way through the WDI declaration on "womens sex based rights"

You are trying to "morally mandate us out of existence" and it shows whether you want it to or not. That's what Jo Public is judging you on.

you still did what you could to make a beast of me.

I can't claim any credit for that. You did it without any help.

And if you care about gay kids, support the LGB Alliance. It's the only charity dedicated to supporting exclusively same sex attracted people.

No, it's the established treatment for Gender Dysphoria, and it's very effective. What men might fantasise about does not concern me. Your objectification of me as a sex object makes you no better than them.

The SC Ruling didn't mention "fantasy" but they did go out of their way to describe trans people as a recognised minority demographic and worthy of protection in UK society. So put that in your pipe and smoke it.

"You don't treat a mental health condition with hormones & surgery."

They do, though, and for good reason: it's the only thing that somewhat works. Everything else has been tried, with zero result. Hormones and surgery do provide relief to at least those suffering from gender dysphoria. It's literally better than nothing, hence why it's done.

This is about the pushback you're getting, not us.

I don't think a single one of my (mostly female) friends is not a survivor of some form of serious sexual, familial and/or domestic abuse, including me. That's what you fail to understand about the Queer community. We've nearly all of us had to choose life at some point. We know all about safety, consent and boundaries, because we have to. And as such, we recognise these qualities in each other and draw together in the face of a hostile world. You're only fooling yourself if you write us off as lacking humanity or respect, or weak.

Transphobes exploit trauma, the LGBT community is a refuge from it. That's why you'll never be rid of us. We're people bonded by our shared humanity and grief, and you continually fail to recognise that, much less respect it. The pushback you are getting is from those that DO recognise our humanity. They do not recognise the crude caricatures and fearmongering stereotypes that you're so determined to sell us as.

It's when you say stuff like "trans contagion" that you sound less like you have simple concerns for women's safety, dignity and privacy, but more like a zealous moral crusade to eradicate all traces of trans from society, medicine and law. That's the point when bullying a vulnerable minority becomes obvious to the average neutral person, I'm guessing.

I agree, but I think his attempt to exploit a mother's devastation and gleefully blame and taunt her about it was... completely par for the course, actually.

Prejudice flourishes by having someone to look down on. It can help a person feel better about their own miserable existence.

The LGBT community has no shortage of alienated kids seeking, and finding, a safe refuge. Some were thrown out of their homes with just the clothes on their backs when they came out to their families.

And although I made a point of saying how we all love a dull coming out story, because they are so rare, you still did what you could to make a beast of me. You are proud to be cruel.

I'll be honest. MBD's long howl of rage has cheered me up no end😀Thanks for the thread OP

I can't believe you think this post reflects well on you and what you stand for.

I guess once you've decided men can be women, every other distortion is easy. And we know there's quite a strong cohort that loves nothing more than alienating children from their parents.
