less men fancy dressing as women anyway
Is that the way you see it? I'd always thought it must be like being gay. I've never really cared if it is nature, nurture or choice. If you're happy and not making others' lives worse then crack on. Whatever the cause or reason, I suspect it makes the person's life much more difficult. I doubt many if any 'become' trans on a whim or because they fancy it.
It will change once enough people realise what a load of bullshit it is and with intolerance growing and liberal attitudes starting to diminish
Apparently so, having read a few threads about it on MN.
Funny how women standing up for themselves is deemed to be man hating.
I can't see anyone standing up for themselves, they're just joining in a nastily-toned hate-mob against "the trans juggernaut". What aspect of yourself are you defending? 'Women' being a closed class?
WANTING EQUALITY IS NOT MAN-HATING! IT IS WANTING EQUALITY!
I couldn't agree more. I wish more people would agree with us.
Its odd how men standing up for themselves isnt classed as women hating.
Yet it is. It's called misogyny or the patriarchy and if a woman stands up for a man it's internalised misogyny. If someone defends a man then they're an MRA and, in years of asking, no one has given a reasonable explanation as to why MRA is derogative.
WebSocket how do you think the victims of male rapists being labelled as female feel?
They probably feel raped. Rape is rape. No is no.
You clearly obviously know better than me how you felt and I don't want to make someone's life more difficult who is talking about a terrible incident from a first person perspective.
As far as I can see, the term 'trans-hate' is used as a shout down mechanism for women protecting and defending themselves.
But I can't see how this damages 'women'. I had about that man/woman mentioned in the OP's link. I didn't think about their sex or gender. I didn't think about how it was harming me as a woman. I read with disgust about that person's actions.
It's incredibly dangerous and misleading for a "wanted" page to make people think that they should be looking out for a woman when they are in reality in danger from a crossdressing male rapist.
If I read "now living as a man", I would be looking for a man in a dress. I don't see how this in dangerous.
It takes only a couple of cases like this recorded as women and the stats are drastically altered.
What stats and how do we need them to ensure women's rights are protected or, does it in fact make no difference? Police tend to use victim stats much more than perpetrators meaning a female rape victim is still regarded as such and a male too.
What angers me also is that we are unable to call out this rubbish without being accused of transphobia...or 'tranny hate' as is said on here
I feel the same frustrations when reading MRA.
