Transphobia

I am absolutely disgusted by the vile bigotry and absolutely hatred shown by some people on here. I realise those people peddling this feel justified in doing so. The truth is the bigoted never see their form of bigotry as bigotry. Racists doing think they bigoted they think they have a valid point of view - truth is they are vile racists. Homophobic people the same. Sexist people the same. Mysogynistic the same. Xenophobic the same. And transphobic = yes indeed, exactly the same. It's very sad. It's sad for the people who hold such hatred in their hearts. It's sad for the transgender community who have to live with the consequences of such bigotry and ignorance and haterd and opposition to just fulfilling their destiny as they feel it.

I just hope enough good people stand up with the trans community against this hatred and bigotry and that we move towards a better and kinder and more understanding world for transpeople. We have made great progress with this over recent years despite the best efforts of some.

I hope those with hate in their hearts can heal in time and become kinder and more understanding. My wise old grandma used to say those who bear hatred of others can never be truly happy.

I know the backlash to this post will be vile from some. I won't be reading the replies. I have no need to.

Love

Borntobe, seconded.

Oh, and I don’t want any gender non-conforming grandchild of mine (or anyone else’s) being encouraged to think they are trans because they don’t like the right clothes, colours or activities, and consequently started on a medicalised route to bodily mutilation and sterility.

This is what the vast majority of people think, Born.

But we're getting shouted down and beaten up and threatened with death and rape and accused of hatred just for saying it.

Bizarre, isn't it? Almost as if they know full well the emperor has no clothes and are wildly trying to deflect anyone from saying it.

Fill in the consultation to say as much: fairplayforwomen.com/email/

I filled out the consultation directly on the government website citing the risk to women and went into a lot of detail of why I object. A lot more women should take the time. Because a baying mob is hijacking what is actually the concerns of a tiny minority and trying to impose their myopic, utterly self-centred and self-serving agenda to the direct detriment of women. The problem is that trans-activists are far more invested and dominate the whole dialogue despite the percentile share of those who are actually trans gender being significantly less than one percent of the UK population! We are talking at most 0.7%. It is insane to pander to such ridiculous demands that slash our human rights to the very core! However, there is so much grand-standing, and bandwagon jumping by transvestites, gynophobic men, especially misogynistic gay men like Adrien Harrop and pervy sexual predators, including growing numbers of auto-gynephiliacs who get off on passing as females and are forcing women to participate in their fetish. FFS we know the depth to which sex offenders go to, we are literally building these fuckers a massive Trojan Horse to swing their rapey cocks in our faces. This has nout to do with the less than 500,000 genuine trans sexual people and I completely respect their quest for dignity and equal human rights. But they have those already. I really loathe the false narrative that trans people are now fighting discrimination and to attain similar rights, as gay and lesbian groups were striving for. The right to same sex marriage and other fundamental issues do not however impact on anyone else. Some of the most vociferous trans lobbyists are actually asking to obliterate what it means to belong to the biological female sex. It’s an Orwellian dystopian fucking nightmare when we are slowly pushed out, even in the language and reduced to cervix holders, menstruators and some woke people try to police any discussion about periods, pregnancy and other biological aspects because it may offend someone that identifies as a woman. FFS then show some genuine empathy and humility towards your chosen gender! Show us some solidarity. And I actually know a few trans women who feel as disenfranchised and patronised by those proclaiming to shout in their names. We have the lunacy of non-trans people fighting for ‘trans-rights’ who brand genuine trans folk as transphobic because they too reject the proposal to self-ID. Essentially, this actually undermines their transitioning process and has an impact on their access to professional support. It’s like making goats the head gardeners at Chelsea Flower Show!

Waikiki, excellent summary, thank you

TemptressofWaikiki · 15/10/2018 15:58

@longwayoff Not sure if it shows but I feel an itsy bit passionate about women's rights... Wink

longwayoff · 15/10/2018 16:08

Thank god some of us do. Someone just sent me a text about Fallon Fox, a m to f self identified cage fighter in USA who now legally beats women for a living in front of a baying mob. Friend pointed out on FB that this is beyond insanity. Friend banned from FB. FF career thriving.

Just popping on to applaud MistressDeeCee’s excellent post upthread. Such important points, which are consistently ignored by those on the ‘other side’ of the debate.

Had no idea LM had made those appalling racist remarks either. I like LM even less now.

If you report transphobia, it will be deleted, and usually very quickly. Though, HQ does not agree with the transactivist definition of transphobia..which is 'anything being said that we don't like'.
