The TRA's aren't telling men that they need to step aside and allow trans men into their toilets and changing rooms. They aren't telling gay men that they must have sex with trans men otherwise they are transphobic bigots. They aren't telling men to STFU, move aside and give up their rights so that trans men can feel validated. They aren't encouraging trans men to redefine what it means to be a man or tell men what being a man is really about.
Of course they aren't. All of the focus is on allowing trans women to force their way into female spaces, no matter how vulnerable the women in those spaces may be and no matter how triggering/upsetting/distressing these women may find having a biological man in there with them. These women simply need to shut up and deal with it because a trans women's feelings are far more important than a woman's right to feel safe/be safe.
Sports women are being expected to move on and compete with trans women even if in some cases that is bloody dangerous for the women involved and end up getting seriously injured as a result of competing against someone with all the physical advantages of being male. But who cares about that? Just as long as the trans womens feelings are validated, that's the most important part.
IMO if these so called trans activists really give a shit about transgendered people they would be campaigning for more gender neutral/unisex facilities. They would be campaigning for trans gendered people to have their own sports categories, their own prisons and their own support services. They would be discussing what could be done if trans gendered people were unable to have their own spaces and discussing how we could decided what to do on a case by case basis rather than making a blanket policy of just letting trans women in female spaces.
This is what makes me angry. Men aren't being told to budge up and let trans men into their spaces. It only seems to be women who are expected to do that and labelled nasty bigots if we are uncomfortable with it.
Someone else mentioned that poster's new trans policy at work and how trans women or men identifying as women should be put on the women's ward. If any women object then they must be told that their views are not tolerated and if they keep objecting they will be removed. So STFU or GTFO basically. These are vulnerable women with severe mental health issues yet they are basically being told that men's feelings being validated is more important than their mental health. I notice that that poster didn't mention similar policy for allowing trans men onto mens wards and any man who objects being told to STFU or GTFO basically. I wonder why this is?
Why aren't people who come here to accuse us of bigotry thinking about this more? Why aren't they asking themselves why all the focus seems to be on letting trans women, or men identifying as women, into women's spaces and never the other way round?
