They just tweeted this

twitter.com/womensmarch/status/959560253850509315

They are taking the side of a sexual abuser over a RAPE VICTIM!

FUCK YOU

If you ever want proof transwomen aren't truly seen as women, see how they are elevated above us and protected at our expense.

I really really hope she can stand strong in the face of what will inevitably come her way now. I'm not one for fawning after slebs but I'd like to think there was a way to show her she has support.

SimonBridges · 03/02/2018 14:21

Here is a classic quote from that interview.

It’s also common for anti-trans activists to disavow the label cis and position themselves as women

I am sick to the back fucking teeth of white men showing up in 'woman face' and telling women then are womaning wrong and then jumping up and down in indignation when someone dares to point out to them that woman is not a fucking costume to put on to cover their own insecurities and mental health issues.
I don't position myself as women, I am a woman.

ThymeLord · 03/02/2018 14:26

Agree Simon. That quote boils my blood.

thornyhousewife · 03/02/2018 14:29

I knew this trans movement was unsustainable from the start and am glad to see it begin to eat itself.

I feel for all the people who are and have been transitioning quietly in the background and wish them well with lives. Imagine having these lunatics claiming to represent your experience!

MissBeehiving · 03/02/2018 14:31

It is absolutely outrageous.

BlurryFace · 03/02/2018 14:35

thornyhousewife, my trans sibling has disavowed the movement completely on these grounds. He instead practises "stealth" - a now old fashioned concept in the trans movement, where one just blends in with their chosen gender identity and doesn't let on they're trans unless necessary (sex partners or healthcare providers).

SimonBridges · 03/02/2018 14:36

Thorny
I present Miranda Yardley. Transwoman who doesn't tolerate this shit. I love her.

"position themselves as women"

SNURK

I only have facts on my side what do I know.

ThymeLord · 03/02/2018 14:40

Miranda is brilliant isn't she.

lolaflores · 03/02/2018 14:41

Is there any chance these dipshits will get bored with their cultish behaviour?
There has to be a point at which the world in general will find itself unable to digest anymore of their utter, imbecilic rubbish and simply not budge any further with letting them make inroads into common sense.

I see and hear a growing surge of resistance from women. Not just women of a certain class, or age but all women from all walks of life. My old mum 75 is starting to take a dim view of some of the male privilidge that she has witnessed throughout her life. A little, rebellious spark has appeared in her eyes and she isnt having it anymore. So are some friends I know who had probably not considered some questions before until the conversations started and there is an energy I never witnessed before.
If there is enough energy from enough women pointed in a positive way at these shitehawks then the progress might be checked and some of the hysteria removed. We have to remain hopeful people.

‘Woman face’ - that had me sniggering and has now become a part of my vocabulary.

Thanks!

Turned out it was just my ancient PC having a funny five minutes, I'm in now.

I agree, I do think the Emperor's New Clothes effect might finally be kicking in.

stitchglitched · 03/02/2018 14:46

They're an absolute fucking embarrassment. Now seeing transwomen being called TERFs on twitter just for saying Rose McGowan said nothing wrong.

velourvoyageur · 03/02/2018 14:47

Dw Yet, doesn't come across like you're correcting the OP.

  • Trigger warning before comments on Dier's discussion of assault

Dier's equation of assault of trans people to genocide by burning is sickening (and as long as we're making a mockery of the word 'genocide', he might want to acknowledge a similar 'genocide' of women over here, seeing as though the UK female homicide rate is greater than the one he cites later on for trans people - I mean, why bother considering scale or context if you've got a point to ram home eh).

Because when someone pulls down her pants and sees a vagina, she won't be murdered for it. That is not something she fears. That's why she's cis.

It's just not a thing we fear, guys! We don't have to worry our heads about it! We just have to flash our cis badges and relax in the certainty that the psychopath raping us isn't womanphobic to the point he'd do anything irrational. Our leviathan privilege, it's a comfort at times like those.
(Actually Dier, yes we bloody fucking do feel the fear.)

But I've also almost been murdered for getting a bite to eat.
Yes, because assault by strangers never happens to women also going about their daily lives. Me? I opened the front door. Oops, right? Stepped a liiittle out of line there, like, almost into a public space.
What are you saying, Dier? Assaults on trans people are more unprovoked than assaults on women? Fuck that. Shame on you for point scoring. What we go through doesn't take away from what you go through.

No, this isn't a march for women.

"I'm not a revolutionary."
Why, I'm shocked. You had a jolly good go at Marxism 101 bingo though, didn't you, so take heart.

Mummyoflittledragon · 03/02/2018 14:49

Agree Simon. That jumped out at me. If natal women are so hysterical, why do MIT’s want to be us?

Lola
My mother is a misogynist. She thought I’d be pro TRA’s because I voted remain and therefore must be a loon or something. She really can’t see the irony that she supports the superiority of males. But not these activists.

Mummyoflittledragon · 03/02/2018 14:51

Dier’s equation of assault of trans people to genocide by burning is sickening
As is calling ordinary women feminazis or transnazis.

Rebeccaslicker · 03/02/2018 14:52

"Trans women are fighting for women's rights.

No. No. No. Most transwomen just want to live their lives. A small % wants to change what being a woman means. Because even they know they can't change what they really want, which is how straight MEN see them.

GrooovyLass · 03/02/2018 14:58

Most of the comments that I've seen on that article posted by Women's March both on Twitter and Facebook are highly critical of their view. I don't think it's panning out quite how they expected...

EraArils · 03/02/2018 15:03

I read an interesting article in The Times yesterday by Janice Turner.

This part on the article stood out to me.

On last month’s Women’s March in London, Munroe Bergdorf, the trans ex-L’Oréal model, tweeted a decree that women attending shouldn’t mention female reproduction. This wasn’t “inclusive” feminism: because “not all women have a vagina”. A global movement born of President Trump’s anti-abortion stance had to shut up about biology! For such reasons The Vagina Monologues was banned on US campuses; even Caitlin Moran’s brilliant How to be a Woman is dubbed “problematic biological feminism” for its passages on periods and childbirth. One marcher’s placard read “We support menstruators of all genders”: to feed the transubstantiation myth that boys have periods or men have babies, women and girls cannot even be named.

What an utter crock of poop, sorry IMHO.

CandyYumYum · 03/02/2018 15:10

“problematic biological feminism” for its passages on periods and childbirth

Fucking hell.

Will someone politely point out that the non-binary Emperor is in the nude?

AngryAttackKittens · 03/02/2018 15:12

So how about the narcissistic predatory ratbag who verbally attacked McGowan admit that whatever feelings he has don't excuse his causing McGowan pain, hmm? What's that? when you said "we" you meant "actual women" and when you said "others" you meant "please please don't upset the men or they'll start shouting again"?

Cowards.

GrouchyKiwi · 03/02/2018 15:15

I hope this kind of crap does indeed turn the tide and open people's eyes to what's really going on.
