Interesting and thoughtful article

While its happening - there is this thread going on at the moment www.mumsnet.com/Talk/womens_rights/3163592-TRAs-have-a-demonstration-planned-for-next-week

And I find that whole thing a bit suspect. Are they really young TRAs? Or is this an older MRA trying to stir up trouble and make the TRAs and feminists clash and look like a bunch of squabbling kids?

MRAs are always trying to pit women against women.

With all the 'sex-worker' BS activism they (the group of dodgy, greedy, selfish entitled male pimps, etc) always wheeled out women to represent them - sometimes paid female lobbyists. The back of that leaflet is all about getting cis women on their front line. Just seems very similar tactics.

Also, with that twitter site who published the leaflet their symbol is of a trans symbol with a fist in it - a total bastardisation of the radical feminist woman/fist symbol.

To me that seems so obviously antagonistic. If you hate radfems that much, it would seem very bizarre to appropriate their symbol wouldn't it? That again seems much more MRA than TRA.

twitter thread on the rise of transactivism

I had a quick skim on the website myself, and I counted over half million having gone to pro trans organisations.

Though, to be fair the way the article is written it's very difficult to untangle exactly who he has given money to, rather than just talking about organisations which support the ideology.

I think that particular link has been updated. Because I'm pretty sure when I read it last year, he was changing the gay/straight alliance to be called the trans alliance.

Thanks for the link Tallulah

Yes - it is tough to work it out the monty- but the intro at the top, made it look as though gay marriage was the warm-up act for the trans take-over.
