Trans protest- sharing for balance

1000 replies

Tandora · 20/04/2025 11:47

There’s a thread sharing some really awful images from the protest, so I wanted to share some positive ones for the sake of some perspective/ balance.
A lot of people are really understandably incredibly angry and overwhelmed by the events of the last few days. But most people who support trans rights absolutely don’t condone fighting oppression and injustice with misogyny.

You are enjoying the attention, aren't you?

No one here is at all blindsided.

Sitting outside, enjoying the sunshine.

Enjoy the rest of your day.

Be under no doubt, you are a shit stirer.

you are a shit stirer.

im sure insulting me makes you feel better, but it doesn’t do much else

We know what a transwoman is. Do you?

Just in case you do not, it is a biological man. At the most basic level, there is no commonality with a biological woman.

Also, please link to your other thread as I'd love to read it. Thank you.

I’m 100% that the op has very direct knowledge of what a TW is.

@Tandora you are very quick to reply to some posts.

Please can you reply to mine and share the science you were so vocal about?

I am here for it!

Please Tandora. We have been asking you for years. You told us you found a huge amount of information for your thesis, but you cant' be bothered to shared it so you keep telling us to go and google.

On this thread you have said that in the past you had shared many links and lots of evidence. If this is the case, please link it up. In fact, since you are obviously the most qualified person on MN on this topic, why not start an archive thread with all that evidence you have found so you can simply link to it whenever we ask?

CraneBeak · 20/04/2025 16:23

Those are just ordinary pro-trans ideology signs. What makes them particularly positive?

The type of fascism that is taking hold has nothing to do with science.

I have explained the science over and over again on anti-trans threads on mumsnet , very few people are interested in reading or engaging with it.

And you are unwilling or unable to produce even a tiny bit of evidence of scientific proof on this thread?

Indeed. If you are male and you knowingly and actively breach a stated boundary of women and girls, you are inherently predatory. If you are a woman and you think you can consent on behalf of all women, you enable predation. There's no way round it.

So trans women / girls who use the female loos are inherently predatory?

Agree with this.

KateShugakIsALegend · 20/04/2025 16:16

Quite. I can't understand why third spaces are so objectionable.

I quite often have to use the disabled loo for medical reasons. Doesn't make me less of a woman. Can't see the issue with it all.

The issue is no non consenting women in a state of undress in them.

You often see this. When some women say 'we would gladly share third spaces and take our clothes off with you' they won't do. The goal is the non consenting ones. Which would suggest that there's something about the experience of power over those non consenting women and their responses that must be particularly rewarding.

I am bothered whether or not a man in an enclosed space where I need to be in a state of undress is a predator or not. But even if he's bloody lovely I still do not want him there. I know many lovely safe men in my life: it hasn't changed my desire for privacy from them, and actually part of why they are lovely and safe is that they have respect for other people's feelings and consent.

Intersex people exist (1.7% of the population—same as redheads),

0.018%

How common is intersex? a response to Anne Fausto-Sterling - PubMed

https://www.nature.com/articles/518288a
the above directly refutes the 0.018% claim by showing it ignores subtle but biologically significant variations (e.g., XXY, CAH).

Your 0.018% figure comes from a 2002 opinion piece ignoring modern science. Either you’re ignorant of the data or deliberately cherry-picking. Which is it?

Sex redefined - Nature

The idea of two sexes is simplistic. Biologists now think there is a wider spectrum than that.

Spaces that are designated for a specific gender

They're not designated for a specific gender - they're designated for a specific sex (as in male/female toilets).

Transphobic simply meaning in this sense, women who won't enable men.

Transphobic means hated, prejudice, fear , discrimination directed at trans people

I'm just saying one problem is solved but it's created another one. What is the answer? How will anyone know who is a trans man and who isn't? How will they prove it? If this is all about women's safety then surely this should be considered rather than all the focus being on trans women?

I think the issue here is that none of us can tell trans men what to do. We can, lawfully, tell males to stay out of our spaces, but we can't strong arm trans men into female spaces. I don't think anyone objects to third spaces for their safety and privacy.

Of course. I still like to ask her just in case she hopes to explain to us.

You’re just not doing it with any degree of finesse.
Or actual knowledge.

Riaanna · 20/04/2025 16:27

Tandora · 20/04/2025 16:20

as I have repeatedly said to you and others, I’ve explained this any number of times on numerous mumsnet threads. Only yesterday I took significant time to do so (because someone said there were sincerely interested) and pretty much the only engagement I got was “yawn, haven’t you got anything better to do”.

If you don’t know what a trans woman is- look it up .

I do know what a trans woman is. I am asking you to clarify the commonality between a trans woman and a woman. Telling you still will not do that.

But you did say you had repeatedly shared these links, and what was holding you back from sharing them here was our lack of interest.

Yet still you don't share them. What should we conclude?

Material reality is so very disappointing for people like you. I can understand why you prefer to outsource your thinking.
