Hello all
Longtime lurker
Am going to speak to my MP about this whole issue.
Not public IRL about this at all (job and personal cowardice reasons).
I'm so angry that something so absurd has become the required public belief. My MP is female labour not said anything public that I can find.
I don't want to sound mad and I want to have my facts at my fingertips. Any advice on best approaches? Part of me wants to make a list of the most unreasonable things eg Isla Bryson , Lia Thomas and work back logically but I think this might be too confrontational? Has anyone had good effects? At this point I am so furious I think I will come across badly. Also any advice on specific asks?
I actually want a wideranging apology from the government and an enquiry into the institutional failure that allowed it as well as all the obvious stuff. But recognise I may have radicalised myself ..
Thanks in advance

The self-pity would land better if your side didn’t have a billionaire’s private legal fighting fund behind it.

Meanwhile trans people have had to live openly through this level of hostility for years, and we’re still here: public, proud, and loud.

So spare me the cosplay of "brave dissidents".

Ha ha ha

Cosplay. Yes that rings true. Accusing the other side of cosplay. Thanks for the laugh.

Well you’re not that loud and proud are you? You’re hiding behind anonymity. So why are you berating women for not posting under their full names? You can’t be public if you’re hiding under a pseudonym can you?

I am? I got doxxed on this website about 5 times now, if mumsnet users can find it, it cannot be hidden that deep 😂

It’s always “ordinary women” right up until the billionaire funding, media platforms, lobby groups, and political influence get mentioned.

Then suddenly power apparently doesn’t count when it’s on your side.

I’m openly trans and perfectly happy to say so in public. You’re the ones still hiding behind euphemisms, polling, and fantasies of the apology you think is just around the corner.

To be fair…. I don’t think it needs that many words.

Don't feed the troll. Surely we all know this by now. Look how a useful thread has been almost immediately diverted.

He's a troll foldyroll and that's how we know he's cosplaying. He needs to go back to the manosphere and leave women alone.

That's what really bothers you, isn't it? That there is, for once, a feminist who has money who can take on the vile misogynist bigots and patriarchy. And so feminists are still here, public, loud, proud and winning this war. And we are not going anywhere.

Transwomen are the ones giving us rape threats and death threats like these images here, so spare us your concocted victim mentality. You are no victims, you're the antagonists and bullies and evil. Get back to us when your sacred caste of powerful, privileged and protected males get anything anywhere remotely near this abuse, from feminists:

My MP is one of the worst transactivists in Parliament. On the rare occasions he deigns to reply to me he takes months, man/transplains and essentially refuses to represent my/other women's views or interests.

My one consolation is that he's a near-certainty to lose his seat at the next election. Given his likely replacement is either Tory or Reform I am genuinely puzzled by his decision to treat his constituents with such contempt.

Sausagenbacon · 02/04/2026 08:53

Good luck OP, and please come back and let us know how you get on.
My mp is Carla Denyer, and there's no point addressing her on this, as she doesn't respond to her constituents on any issue.

Posts that gloat and laugh at women for feeling frightened in a male-centric world, when the power that men have over them has been made so clear and personal, and weaponised by bad actors with an agenda.

Not a good look. And proof again that no male can ever know what it is like to be born a girl and live a woman's life.

Well, quite. It's very revealing.

Aye, righto.

You've just had the ear of Governments through lobby groups being given unique and unprescendented access to influence legislation and policy (SPS, Scottish Trans, Engender) and organisations being captured and advised to break the law because they are being handed eye wateringly huge sums of money as long as they follow the party line. Poltical groups having to whip their MSP's to follow their women hating policies.

As opposed to ordinary women having access to legal funding in order that they are not financially ruined by having to defend women's rights in court.

Oh yes, it really is a wonder that women with ordinary jobs and who have small children to feed and older parents to look after would hesitate at putting themselves in danger by tackling organisations captured by an ideology rabid in their zeal to punish women. Those organisations who are so determined to refuse to follow laws that they will put themselves through the humilating trouncing of a court case because it will cost women in terms of money/time/worry.

That's why so many women admire JKR. Because she took it all for those of us who can't risk our livelihoods for our perfectly ordinary, legally protected views. She's too big to be cancelled and that's why TRA's absolutely hate her and are having the world's biggest foot stamping tantrum that she won't shut up. She makes them impotent.

And a man sneering at women for their vulnerability in employment truly is misogyny gone wild.

For the same reason men bullying women on a women’s forum also do not post under their real names……. I men, you’ve admitted you come on here “for fun”. Why not post under your real name then we can see you owning you misogyny?

That you think the rights of women to female only spaces is 'twwannnsphobia' says more about you and how much you hate women than anything else. That you don't hide your intense hatred of feminism and women tells us what sex you are...

Unluckily for you, poll after poll after poll shows our view is in the overwhelming majority, and you are in the ever-decreasing unpopular fringe side.

The fact that you are literally incabable of comprehending people can hold alternate beliefs without them being 'transphobic' a.k.a centred on YOU (you're self-asborbed and narcisistic), shows those of us who are sane that you lot are just mentally deficent. And that gives me hope, because people without a room temperature IQ will come around to logic eventually.

You never will. And you should be ashamed for your ignorance. @AidaP You can either use your head or get out.

There are many, many instances in history where those who were doing the right thing had to do it in secrecy for fear of being harmed by the establishment. And historically those with the least amount of societal power helped the most. Just like what’s happening with women’s rights today. The loudest voice in the room is rarely right my dear.

It is not transphobic to be gender critical.

Gender criticism recognises that some people assert a trans identity and they have rights due to their gender reassignment.

A biological man with a trans identity isn’t a biological woman. You may feel that means I have phobia of people with a trans identity.

You’d be wrong. This view is scientifically, legally and practically accurate.

I'm not and never have been. Any posts or comments or feedback I make on this topic in real life i give my full name. It is not acceptable to me that adult men insist on being in women only spaces. Trust me if you had campaigned for men to be able to wear women's clothes without prejudice or for women's rights I would have had a lot more support for your stance.

There has been a very cult like wholesale brainwashing of sections of society to believe in gender ideology.

Despite it being illegal to bully, harass and fire people for expressing sex realist views those that have swallowed the misogynistic ideology that decimates women’s rights continue to do so.

While one can stick one’s head above the parapet it’s often taken off by rabid trans rights folk who having the criminality of men threaten rape, violence and intimidation. These men well they have the physical strength and genitalia with which to carry out those threats.

So a class of women who are vulnerable and discriminated against have to be careful because this ideology is dangerous and does significant harm to women.

CassOle · 01/04/2026 23:16

I do say that human beings can't change sex IRL. I also support single sex spaces IRL. I don't use preferred pronouns IRL.

More people need to bin the fear and speak the truth.
