I normally just lurk here but this has incensed me

ATTENTION CISGENDER PEOPLE.
Can you imagine what it's like leaving your home in constant fear of assault, harassment and ridicule? This is what trans people experience every day of their lives. Help our trans siblings. Read this thread and share, please.

Er, well yes, actually, I can...

And links to an appeal by Action for Trans Health for donations to fund a travel bursary for transwomen and trans feminine people whatever that means (no mention of trans men of course), because apparently they're always being attacked and harassed on public transport. Obviously I can't even begin to imagine what that must feel like Hmm

I see next to no support for his moronic statements. This is new.

Mind I have fairly recently been added to a terfblocker so maybe I just cannot see the crazy anymore

Bat how do you know you have been added to a terfblocker? I'd be very surprised if I haven't.

Someone posted a list on here a few weeks back and my name was on there. I found it very odd as I barely even use twitter at all and when I do, I am certainly not abusive. But I guess abuse isn't what the lists designed for is it, its just any opinion slightly opposing any part of the transactivist narrative.

Can anyone screenshot some of the responses? I can't see it on twitter as I'm not authorised or something.

SonicBoomBoom · 20/12/2017 16:36

Interesting list. I'm not on it yet. I see Liz McInnes is on already though.

Lancelottie · 20/12/2017 17:56

That's a great and encouraging list, BatShite. I note that Robert Winston is on there, as are Martina Navratilova, Robert Webb and Daniel Radcliffe. Has JK Rowling made the cut too?

(Presumably those could all just be people identifying as the above...)

Ooo I'm on the list!

I’m not on twitter but I clicked the link and can read all the tweets.
