That poster stated ‘TRAs’ who have been savage with particular behaviours. If your trans daughter doesn’t fall into those behaviours then it wasn’t directed at you.

Oh come on now!

It was directed at me. She quoted my post where I was saying my daughter is rather vulnerable, doesn't hurt anyone and had spent the day gardening in order to point out that other mums thought that their 'vulnerable kids' were harmless when they were actually online attacking her. She even said I don't know what "he" (my daughter) is doing when I am not with "him".

Just face it, her mask slipped and showed her true hatred for young people like my daughter.

Another day, another chance for mumsnet to bitch about the trans community 🥱

Keeping it online seems less obnoxious than carrying placards threatening violence and pouring piss over yourself.

Let me get this clear, are you genuinely saying that my trans daughter is most likely savage, psychopathic, sexually or physically aggressive?

Thanks for proving who is being hateful in this particular discussion.

Actually yes I do know because she doesn't go online or use social media or even carry a phone.

Peony 1897 specifies TRAs who have abused her online. If your child doesn’t go online then Peony 1897 is clearly not referencing your child.

Some really intersting photos from the link shared above by @WilfredsPies.
Here's a lesbian group from Manchester suppoting trans rights. Don't lesbians come in all sorts of sexes these days.

But frothing over the daily express, mail and telegraph showing a highly curated set of signs out of ten of hundreds of perfectly mild signs that are non-violent is playing into the hands of those in the media who enjoy stoking division.

This link shows all the meetings organised by A Woman's Place UK which were disrupted by trans activists, including bomb threats -

https://womansplaceuk.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/A-record-of-the-meetings-organised-by-WPUK.pdf

Screenings of the film Adult Human Female at the University of Edinburgh were cancelled twice until a third successful screening was shown. Protests included blocking the venue, shouting at any woman in the general vicinity of the venue and spitting in attendees faces.

www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-edinburgh-east-fife-67504202.amp

Any Let Women Speak event has been accompanied by balaclava masked protesters attacking women including throwing fluids into their faces.

The 'decapitate terfs' sign (and others like it) were displayed at a trans rights rally attended by MSP's. Our elected representatives.

At a Filia Conference in Glasgow, a trans group set up a sound system outside the venue to shout abuse at women going past.

This isnt 'frothing' (nice bit of misogyny there btw - I'll wait for shrill, hysterical or pearl clutching to complete my bingo card) to point these things out.

I mean, you aren't surely genuinely saying that because your child is nice, we shouldn't be calling out the kind of behaviour that happens routinely when TRA's are protesting women's rights?

Gaslighting 101.

peony quoted my post about how my trans daughter is vulnerable , and went on to say other mums thought their children were vulnerable but they were attacking her online. She said at the end of her post "you don't know what he is doing when you are not with him"
The clear implication is that my vulnerable trans daughter could very easily be doing the same and probably is.

Yes she was referring to my trans child. I am not an idiot and neither are you.

And this is just the reaction to the clarification of an existing act of Parliament.

BangersAndGnash · 19/04/2025 17:36

So as Transwomen they think their right to vote should be withdrawn?

Brainless twats and thugs

Their right to vote was never in question. Because they are men.

Happyspendingthedayinthegarden · 19/04/2025 21:19

Don't get me wrong, I have a very close relative who has decided that, although born male, wants to identify as female. I am totally supportive, but have pointed out that as they were male until their mid-20's they have no idea what it is like to be a biological female. They haven't had periods, not spent their formative years watching who was behind them when walking home in the dark, keeping their keys in their hand to potentially defend themselves, walking into a pub loo watching who may be following them - I could go on.

My relative acknowledged that. We've since had many discussions on the same vein, all of which have been acknowledged & appreciated that they can't totally understand what it is to be female, but that is the gender they feel comfortable with which I have also had to acknowledge. It was tough, but I love them & have to accept them for who they feel they are.

However I do feel that, as a woman who has always been a woman a man who decides that they feel more comfortable living as a woman is only living as half a woman. As I've said, they don't have to deal with periods, haven't grown up watching their backs, their body language etc etc. My relative gets this.

Please do not equate this with me thinking you're actually saying I need children to be a woman, but let's not reduce what makes a woman down to that.

Had I any wish to be at this protest today? Yes I could go if I had wanted to. My ability to trot to London on a whim makes me no less female. My inability to have children shouldn't ever be used as a card to question me and my womanhood. I know you probably didn't mean that, but it comes across that way, and just serves as a way of making divisions within our sex.

Do you have parents? can you read

The point is women are far more likely to have caring responsibilities for others than men. It's nothing to do with your specific ability to breed and everything to do with your female socialisation.

I actually don't feel this is appropriate. We're talking about the instances of behaviour of TRA's at events where they are protesting women's rights (of which there are many). Taking this down to an individual level is going to make this personal and will obviously upset individual posters.

aylis · 19/04/2025 21:21

Perhaps it's time for the trans people and their families who say they aren't represented by misogynistic TRA thugs to say it a bit louder because so far pretty much nobody has bothered to challenge the behaviour from their position of BEING represented by them. What do they say about silence and complicity?

FOJN · 19/04/2025 21:21

miraxxx · 19/04/2025 20:17

Every single tra outing has included violent protestors, not a single Terf outing has ever had violent protestors - how come?

Oh hang on.....I know the answer to this one....

HRTQueen · 19/04/2025 21:22

i expected this

Men being told they can’t have their own way and worse women celebrate

this is what it is about male entitlement and so many women can’t see this or haven’t but many more will wise up now as it will get worse

On X people are saying that some protesters have threatened to urinate in the streets to show their discontent! Hmm

That is actually very funny indeed.

HPFA · 19/04/2025 21:23

Love the guy demanding "wombs and titties"

I thought being a woman had nothing to do with possessing these thing?

IthasYes · 19/04/2025 21:24

@SabrinaThwaite indeed, it's unbelievable isn't it.
The violence.

OctopusFriend · 19/04/2025 21:25

They're so used to having privilege over women, that when they lose it, they get angry.

Then perhaps those individual posters should stop going on to every gender identity related thread and bringing up the emotive topic of their sad and vulnerable child to stifle discussion and make us feel guilty?

Is there a more manly act that urinating in the street? The irony.

Willyoujustbequiet · 19/04/2025 21:26

The mask slipped quickly.

Thank you TRAs for showing everyone exactly why you have no place in our safe spaces.
