Anyway, I posted this on the other thread:
I'm old enough to be the granny of many of you. I've seen a lot of life, and in the olden days was very supportive of old-style transexuals. They were brave people and many of them had very difficult lives. I was happy to share female spaces with them. It has been referred to as an 'honour system' and that's how it operated. I still think that anyone should be able wear what they like, 'present' in whatever way they choose, and use whatever name they wish, without fear of discrimination.
But the sudden upsurge in identity politics is a whole new ball game. I have become more and more gender-critical the longer this cultish, anti-science, child-sterilising, all about the feelz, words mean what I say they mean, aggressive, self-absorbed, self-id, multi-gender nonsense goes on.
Mighty Mumsnet has been invaluable for educating me and many many others. More and more journalists, politicians and commentators are now expressing gender-critical views, which they would not have done even a few months ago. The wonderful ManFriday ladies, the Transgender Trenders and other Mumsnetters are getting the message out to the public and the public are sitting up and taking notice. People are seeing that the Emperor has no clothes.
MNHQ has taken a lot of flak for allowing discussion of these issues to take place. Probably a lot more flak than we will ever know. 'More balls than Millwall' JustineMumsnet put her neck on the line and said Mumsnet would continue to host these discussion. That brought hordes more activists to indulge in Transphobe Spotting and gleefully report back to their acolytes via Twitter, with their screenshot trophies.
We have been inundated with goady fuckers, whataboutery merchants, sea lions, blatant trolls and everything in between. I'm pretty sure that some newer posters are agents provocateurs, posting blatantly transphobic views in order to stoke the fires. I also think we have, unfortunately, attracted a few genuine transphobes.
I have no doubt that MNHQ has been overwhelmed with reports every day ever since. It is therefore not surprising that mods have not always made consistent decisions.
So thank you @JustineMumsnet, @KateMumsnet and @MNHQ for the clarification. I don't see this as capitulation to TRAs at all.
We can still say that a man is an adult human male, a woman is an adult human female, transwomen are biologically male, transmen are biologically female and that a man cannot become a woman, and vice versa. We can still say that autogynephilia is a thing, that a biological male - regardless of how they identified - viciously assaulted a 60 year old woman for wanting to attend a meeting.
We can still say that Ian Huntley is a child-murdering piece of scum who was, is and always will be a man.
We know that those who persistently target and report posters for saying these things will get short shrift now from MNHQ.
So thank you Mighty Mumsnet. We are winning this fight.
@Datun said it much more succinctly than I have done 
They have reiterated that you can discuss biology, and science. Which includes AGP, and the fact that humans cannot change sex.
I can't see them deciding to backtrack on that in the future.
And finally, they have had weeks and weeks to sort this statement out. They have been targeted relentlessly to go large. So I see it as fairly positive, given how negative it could have been.
A few 'work arounds' although irritating will not halt the debate. And the more people who oppose the gender critical viewpoint, the quicker the trans ideology is exposed.
