To be shocked at the sheer amount of hatred and ignorance about transpeople on mumsnet

Specifically transwomen, according to the majority of mumsnet, all transwomen want to rape biological women, “steal their womanhood” and all sorts of other ridiculous, offensive statements without any factual backing.

So why is Mumsnet so intolerant and ignorant towards transgender people?

Thanks for all the reports about this thread. Despite the rather inflammatory title, we're letting the thread stand because we think that a lot of very good points have been made. As you know, we generally aim to keep intervention to a minimum and let the conversation flow.

We're sorry to hear that the OP feels Mumsnet is intolerant and ignorant towards transgender people. We like to think that Mumsnet is a place where posters can discuss their viewpoints freely and respectfully, without resorting to personal attacks.

Of course, we'll delete any reported posts which break our talk guidelines and we'd appreciate it if folk reported individual posts on the thread rather than accusing others of goadiness on the thread.

Our overarching guide in all this is to consider whether posters are treating one another with mutual respect and courtesy; these are the building blocks of a productive discussion.

Peace and love.
