No, it is not in the slightest bit transphobic to state that trans women are actually trans-identifying men/males.
I am not transphobic. Live and let live I say. For the last few decades I have had great sympathy for transexuals, whose dysmorphia has caused them such enormous suffering that many have felt impelled to take the huge and dangerous step of gender-related surgery.
Those transexuals whom I come across on mumsnet, on YouTube and at A Woman's Place meetings are usually, like most people, reasonable, tolerant and sensible. I respect and admire many of them a great deal, not just as kindred spirits, but as intellectual beacons, who have helped to shape my own knowledge, understanding and viewpoint.
Some of these individuals have been labelled Tru by TRAs.
Some lesbians have been harassed for having a particular sexual orientation.
Some feminists have been labelled T**Fs because they are trying to protect the biological vulnerabilities of other women and girls.
Perhaps some TRAs have their own phobic agenda.
Many of us are concerned about children, and wonder just where all this is leading.
