A Beginners Guide to the Transgender Debate - A Signpost to Useful Mumsnet Threads

65 replies

DJLippy · 11/05/2018 15:10

I'm relatively new to the transgender debate but since coming onto Mumsnet I have learned so much from the discussions on these boards. I've found the ones with links especially useful because quality information about this subject is very hard to find.

I can think of a few threads that I've found particularly eye opening and so thought I'd share these and ask for more links from you guys. I know that some of your have been posting for years but I think there are more and more people asking questions and trying to educate themselves. I would really like it if anyone knows of any older threads which we should read, because there is so much activity on fwr that threads can disappear after a couple of days. Here are some threads that helped in my #PeakTrans

Trans Resource thread.

Like I said, I've only been on here a few months so if any of the regulars could share older threads that would be FAB.

I didn't. The PP posted a comment @ing me and having a dig. I responded. You're doing a cracking job of carrying on where she left off. Congrats 👍

You are right! I should have activated my ignore button.
Though you are doing a splendid job of bumping the thread so I thank you for that.

If you don't want to attend the "cocktail party" feel free not to.
That's the wonderful thing about having a choice
Exercise your right to leave.

boatyardblues · 01/08/2018 23:47

Nothing like a good old fashioned bunfight to bump a useful thread. 👍

likeacrow · 02/08/2018 12:02

Happy to bump the thread! No problem whatsoever with that Smile

I'll certainly be exercising my right to attend or not attend any "cocktaild parties" I wish to thanks Abouttoblow. It absolutely won't be as a result of anyone trying their very best to make me feel unwelcome, however.

Cheers WineGin

*cocktail party

Abouttoblow · 02/08/2018 21:59

I wasn't aware that anyone had an obligation to make you feel welcome here.

Stay or go.

I doubt it will have a huge impact either way.

I never said anyone was obligated to do anything. Just stating what's happening. I don't need your permission to stay or go but cheers all the same. Smile

#nodebate

We’re here. We exist. We’re not going anywhere. Our lives are not a debate.

ps. posters on here often end replies to me with the oh so intimidating ‘we see you’.

Well guess what ‘we see you too’.
Peace and love to all you wonderful Gender Crits 👏👏👏

Keep doing what you do best 🤣🤣

Anyway, goodbye and thanks for all the fish 🐟
