Has there been an influx of TRAs to Mumsnet recently?

ByTheRiverside · 2026-06-17T15:08:34+00:00

I'm a long time reader. Only recently started to participate. I very rarely saw any TRAs on here over the years. But in the past few weeks, I've noticed a lot of them coming here. You can generally tell by the absolute shite coming out of their mouths, such as being avid apologists for sex offenders. What's their deal with coming here? Are they saying that their 'womanhood' is reliant on us conforming to their belief, so they're trying to get us to agree with them? If that's so, then welcome!!! You're going to have to get used to reality real quick if you stick around. Has anyone else noticed this, or just me?

Gosh I got all the way to the end of the thread thinking our new visitors were going to educate us.

Don't worry, I'm sure one of them will be along any moment now to throw some emotional blackmail our way. The activists are currently doing the rounds again. Unfortunately, it's always the same story, so you'll have to read between lines, or come up with some kind of new questions, or you'll be bored stupid.

We are being 'intimidating' and 'aggressive'.
Probably.

This original post makes it sound like this isn't a public forum for those who want to discuss sex and gender. As a TRA, I am the public and have a right to post and read a board in which I have an interest. GCs don't own Mumsnet.

It's a public forum. We are all here as members of the public. We can all post.

Waiting to hear you post what your views are. No one's stopping you. How do we keep adult human females safe? Do adult human females matter?

The UAE won’t fund their students to attend certain UK universities due to the level of Islamic extremism being promoted by groups at them…

Universities are indeed breeding grounds for hatred against women. Also antisemitism is rife there.

Excellent, am I going to finally find out why I should pretend I think some men are women?

After uni exams probably. Unis have become factories for unhinged Green Party type ideas and have just churned out the latest batch. Very sad really.

I can sort of understand. It's a bit like walking into the sea anywhere in Britain on a day when it's 35C and sunny, thinking you'll just have a quick swim, and finding out that your knees are frozen before you're halfway in! Not quite the experience you thought you'd have or were even looking for!

murasaki · 24/06/2026 14:48

So many of them turn up, make one holier than thou ridiculous post, and then vanish in a puff of smoke. As when presented with logic and fairness, not to mention the law, they have no coherent argument.

I’d love to debate with you. What’s your solution to preserving women’s sex based rights!

thanks so much!

Of course. And I have the right to wonder what your motivations are in prioritising men's wants over women's safety, and judge you accordingly.

Not at all. The OP only remarks on the apparent sudden increase in a certain type of posters. At no point does it say that those posters are not welcome. By all means, read and post!
