Has there been an influx of TRAs to Mumsnet recently?

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?

I feel there's not only been an 'invasion' of TRAs, but also a hell of a lot of contrary posters who are determined to give all OPs a digital kicking.

Yes, there's definitely a belief that MN is silly mummies, old biddies etc and they think they'll easily own us. The pushback comes as a shock.

Show quote history

They seem to lose every single argument.

"Sex is real and observable."
"But gender identity."
"Gender identity isn't observable, and defeats itself when introspected, like most delusions."
"But gender identity."
"We've been over this."
"But gender identity."

But they always still believe in the same thing. JK Rowling was right. It's a religion. And probably the stupidest of all of them.

It's very strange.

They're always going to be men. If they want us to affirm them, the least they could do is be the kind of men we actually like.

Somehow, with one hand they offer "Be nice to us." and with the other hand they offer a hairy-knuckled punch to the jaw.

IME it goes in waves. There are TRA lurkers, one speaks up and others join in. Then it goes quiet again for a while.

What's their deal with coming here? They want to educate us. But we always expect evidence or a strong argument. And that's where it all falls down.

Just continuing their mission to trash everything.

There's a user who posted on BlueSky about how he's here to fuck with us, and I guess his little buddies joined in. They brigade offsite in their spare time, like on reddit

There's also a few regular users who are TRA's that will flit in occasionally, but I don't believe it's the result of that brigading.

Mens Rights Activists have plagued MN since the time of the dinosaurs. Oh wait we are the 'rights hoarding dinosaurs' aren't we?

Meh they've been around forever. Same old shit, with better PR managers and friendly politicians that's all.
