crome I mean I for one just hope we can manage to restrain ourselves from threatening any babies that might be accompanying attendees 
I don't quite understand the thought process, do they not realise it makes them look a bit unhinged rather than winning anyone over to their POV...
I think the fact that the 'debate' is taking place on Twitter is a good part of the reason why interactions between younger TRAs and those they oppose have become so toxic. The production of empathy is just blocked if there is no face-to-face. Childless students especially I think are vulnerable to this - we haven't inevitably been exposed to the same wider range of perspectives, we haven't had the same breadth of social interaction as parents, or someone in their 30s+, so this sort of exaggerated solipsism becomes more likely. On Twitter you're not even presented with the opportunity to interact with someone as a person like yourself, but rather just with a name/avatar. You lose sight of the distinction between yourself (the physically embodied mind you're constantly aware of as you type) and other-as-a-self (can't see their body ergo can't see a mind) and so it's so much easier just to interact with them purely within the frame of 'something that reacts to you', that recoils when you prod it or bites when provoked, but otherwise doesn't really exist as someone in their own right. They are alive for you only insofar as they fit into your personal reality & what they are for you is shaped entirely by you. I don't think it's very safe, especially as we see that it then translates into real life.
I guess the blind loyalty may be this thing of - everyone else is X religion so there must be some sense in it, and I should pledge allegiance to it even if in the meantime I'm still figuring out exactly why it makes sense. TRAs know that if they make enough noise, many people listening will assume it's somehow warranted, because why else would you come and stand in the rain to shout at women?
Also I'm more than a bit concerned with the student representatives' seeming love affair with Action for Trans Health/Sisters Uncut - I keep hearing something or other at the uni is supporting it.
The SU leadership are clearly not interested in neutral representation of student interests, they're using Union resources to further their own personal political agenda.
(love that WPUK have tweeted about Delaunay today though, she def deserves more exposure than slightly soggy and overexcited TRAs!)
