Trans unpeak.

After reaching peak trans I have followed a few well known Radical Feminist groups on SM to learn more.

Sadly I have come across actual genuine transphobia in GC groups which I thought was just propaganda put out by TRAs.

Because I only ever hung around in naice intellectual spaces such as here, I thought they would all be a bit like MN feminist chat.

One summary of a conversation went along the lines of

Group post
"There's a Transwoman fitting bras at a London branch of M&S" Shock face.

Replies include "oh no (angry face) I'm never taking my daughter there"

Me:
"Men can work as a bra fitter. We should be able to ask staff for a female fitter if we want one"

Cue loads of hypothetical scenarios that we don't know will ever happen and predictable posts about AGP and boycotting M&S.

Anyway this is just one example of many I've come across recently.

I just suppose, as GC feminists perhaps we should be doing more to call out transphobia when we do see it because it seems lots of people are using GC feminism to express their hostility to Transpeople.

@jayceedove hope your ok. Things get taken out of context off mumsnet. It's a internet forum for discussion, none of us are the priminster we don't have to be experts or carefully craft posts. We can all just be ourselves and share what we think or what we have discovered on the way. And thats good enough and thats what you did. Also by sharing we learn. So please don't go.

I'm so sorry you're feeling attacked. I dont really think it's on for people to discuss what you say here on another forum - it would be better if they signed up here to join the discussion. Having everything you do scrutinized is utterly exhausting.
I hope you stay. Flowers
