Transphobia or truths?

[TwittleBee]

Hi there!

First, apologise if this has been really over discussed already.

I'm pretty new to the whole self ID and trans issues and pretty shocked to discover I'm probably classed as a "Radical" feminist.

How comes it's seen as transphobia when women talk about women's rights or sex or gender?

Perhaps I'm being naive, but I haven't seen anything i would class as transphobic on MN yet? Just a lot of feminists discussing their concerns for women and girls' rights?

Looking for answers so I can see both points of view but also so I can attempt to understand what is going on here.

Thanks x

By "material reality" I presume you are referring your belief that women's brains are irrelevant, and that women should be defined solely as egg producers. That's not a belief that I am prepared accept... but I think you are very brave to suggest it on a feminist forum.

Thank you for the further demonstration on the off chance anyone missed your earlier displays.

Women's liberation exists to resist and throw off the demands of men. This particular part of the struggle is to throw off the demands of trans identifying males. This is not going to change to please you.

+women’s brains+. So tired of this factually incorrect nonsense. Various studies have proven there is little difference between male and female brains. Also very miffed at the posturing and patronising verbiage that repeats the same arguments which have been refuted so many times.

Sorry, I meant women’s brains.

Therefore a fear of your fellow women is irrational

That is up there with one of the stupidest statements I have ever heard (imo). Utterly ridiculous.
