Has there been an influx of TRAs to Mumsnet recently?

Oh look, another 'pretending to ask a question' thread about Trans people which is really just another thread where the cis gendered 'sex realists' get to dunk on trans people again.... Ffs. Seriously the amount of threads on this subject is just crazy.

And the denial that they used the actual words you quote back at them.

The reading comprehension also bothers me.

And the really tricky questions just slide off them.

It's like going from the FT to the Sunday Sport.

I won’t hear a word against the Sport, their Twitter/X account is highly entertaining

It is a religion. And like most religions, it's absolutely riddled with misogyny.

The easiest is to direct them to Reddit where they will find a circle jerk of vulnerable TiMs busy shitting on women who are nasty enough to want their toilets, changing rooms, refuges, hospital wards etc. to be women only.

It's here. You don't have to log in to FB to read it - you can read it down the right-hand side of the page

That one was bloody amusing.

Oh dear.....

The deleted post did include this suggestion for JKR

If you genuinely cared about women you would fund domestic violence shelters.

Yes I saw that one. Was really hoping nobody would respond. I suppose deletion works too, it may have been a PBP.

The title was ‘RoterechteHand on JKR’ with an essay on his highly important opinions on why she is wrong about everything.

Was it a deleted thread? What was it about?

Indeed you did, well done, 💐💐💐🏆

That one was hilarious - ‘on JKR’. I had to look the name up in case he was a podcaster or someone I should know, with that megalomaniac thread title.

There was never good faith. Nothing has changed, except we are now in a much stronger position and TRA's are having to make an attempt. Worrying for them is that their arguments don't stand against reality, they never did. It's the new kid on the block - you don't have to justify anything if you are the most persecuted against. However, it no longer works, well done us

I’d really like a proper debate with a TRA to see if there could be any understanding of trauma from and to them, and any workable solutions to identifying trans individuals in a way that isn’t just internal to them and a discussion around why it’s so important that they take over single sex spaces of the opposite sex. I’ve tried multiple times.

I don’t ever get that though.

Just for the record, another one this morning- so obviously bad faith, now deleted

@highame I'm happy to debate, but I don't think the recent influx of posters are posting in good faith. They just want to provoke.

For a good number of years we were asking for debate, we were thrown 'no debate' as the response. It was very frustrating. I welcome any and all who want to participate. We have great arguments and need to keep our skills honed. This debate isn't over and I, for one, want to know what others are thinking.
If we're shying away from confrontation, then, are we worthy of calling ourselves feminists? Just askin

This is a mean spirited little thread. "Hairy knuckled punch to the jaw"? Really?

Didn't you get taught that "two wrongs don't make a right"?

I used to think I agreed with FWR. I am glad I see things differently now.

OP. People name change all the time. I think that there is not as many new ones as it might seem because most of them have styles that are familiar.

I don’t believe that this is new at all.

I remember posts where one poster who kept telling us how highly qualified in this field of study would take this position. That person would then deny that they were personally arbitrating who was and wasn’t trans.

My bad, secondary school holidays in Ireland since the end of May. College and university vacations. Silly young people with time on their hands and absolutely no idea that they are not being original.

Honestly, I dont think coming here would burst any bubbles.

I think perhaps the reason they are staying longer is because moderation has become more fair and/or better generally.
