No less than 7 on my active threads?? Is it just me who in real life hasn't encountered any transgender people?? And coming from the professional background that I'm in, I see a pretty varied side of life Confused

Am I missing out on something here??

If the abuse is coming from men then why aren't you actually talking to men about it and addressing their behaviour?

Instead of lecturing women and trying to hold us responsible for the behaviour of men then actually educate men about their transphobic behaviour and make it clear that it's not acceptable.

Then how would your daughter feel if there were no safe spaces anywhere? Because that is where we are headed. As soon as we have to accept anyone’s statement of their gender as law, then there are no safe spaces?

Many of us would prefer that transwomen also had safe spaces but that they were sometimes different to women spaces

@Feminist4 does your daughter use female spaces? Would she feel threatened or unsafe if a man entered those spaces?

As PP said, as she is having the female experience she will be faced with misogyny and intimidation by men. Welcome to our world.

@Feminist4 marginalised groups do use vulnerable tactics sometimes. The suffragettes attacked shops to make their point. They were also threatened and some died. I don't think they ever threatened to kill or stab anyone and I'm pretty sure no one said that their opposition should 'suck their girl cock/lady dick'. The language and behaviour some trans activists use is deliberately provocative and threatening and this is done to make a point. It is not done to join together and support each other.

The cotton ceiling Wikipedia page is one of the most disturbing concepts I have ever read. For me, it is male privilege at its peak.

I'm afraid there are a few ruining it for the many and those who cannot understand the reaction to this uprising or hatred from trans activist need to seek further education as it's bullying and hate speech plain and simple.
