Why are TIMs colonising womanhood when they hate us?

I am so angry right now that I don't think I'm going to make sense. TIMs hate us don't they - at least the TRA ones. They hate us. Everything we say logically and calmly and evidence based is just denied, minimised and ridiculed. It seems that we're collateral damage in the battle for them to appropriate womanhood. They don't care how many of us are raped, abused, assaulted, belittled, etc. As long as they get to set the agenda and rewrite the fucking world where nobody can exist without them being centred.

I have just listened to the World Service this morning where they took my points about dignity and consent and said I was being ridiculous and trans people, indeed men, aren't a threat to women and that it's the same as denying gay rights. I can't even come up with a coherent argument to that because it's so ludicrous.

Woman means something, I'm buggered if I'm giving it up without a fight and I'm also buggered if I'm going to pretend that male violence isn't a problem.

Why do they hate us?

Joannne was a good choice for radio, very articulate. Not well clued up on women's issues though.

BoreOfWhabylon · 21/03/2018 22:37

Ooh hostile interviewer!

busyboysmum · 21/03/2018 22:39

Makes men feel sad Hmm

Bumblebzz · 21/03/2018 22:40

He has NO idea FFS

WichBitchHarpyTerfThatsMe · 21/03/2018 22:41

Why are trans women so scared of men they can't use male facilities if women's fears are unfounded?

UpstartCrow · 21/03/2018 22:41

He doesn't get it. he's made it all about his hurt feelings.

Bumblebzz · 21/03/2018 22:41

He’s is now offended FFS

BoreOfWhabylon · 21/03/2018 22:41

They really don't know what we all live with every day.

They have no idea about women's experiences.

Bumblebzz · 21/03/2018 22:42

What an absolute idiot.
He need to speak to the women in his life.

Bumblebzz · 21/03/2018 22:42

Whataboutmen

BoreOfWhabylon · 21/03/2018 22:42

Well done Sweary for not losing it with him!

SwearyG · 21/03/2018 22:43

Classic NAMALT.

He just has absolutely no idea. I hope he gets lots of tweets from women saying they too act like this.

And he's sad? So his hurt feelings from having the conversation take precedence over women's safety?

WichBitchHarpyTerfThatsMe · 21/03/2018 22:44

Same old same old, women's fears about potential harm from men is hysterical and unfounded whereas trans women's fears about the same shit is valid so move over you mean women.

Well done Sweary.

CaptainWarbeck · 21/03/2018 22:44

You did great.*Sweary

You are doing an AMAZING job getting this conversation out there

rememberthetime · 21/03/2018 22:45

He moved the argument towards how offended he is and away from trans issues. Not your fault!

SwearyG · 21/03/2018 22:45

Fucking he is offended because we have to live our lives in fear of attack

And I'm teaching the younger generation that men are bad and women are afraid. Men teach them that. Men.

Fucker. Am furious.

He didn't want to talk about ManFriday. He wanted to paint me as a paranoid misandrist

Nothing for you to be sorry for. He just didn't believe what you were saying.

It was a shitshow but not your fault. Bloke is woke, innit.
