We still haven't enough protections for women in this country (or anywhere the world as far as I'm aware), but we have some.
I have every sympathy that transpeople also require protections and I am in favour of creating as many as are necessary to protect them too.
However, whilst we figure out the precise nature of those protections, I am not in favour of stealing the existing rights of biological women and handing them over to transpeople. Why not? because it's abundantly clear (to me) that sharing or transferring those rights effectively compromises the rights and safety of those biological women.
I am 100% behind an inclusive society that allows anybody to adopt whatever gender they choose. I'm slightly disappointed that people feel a need to adopt an agenda though, rather than just be themselves - effeminate or masculine, or more accurately just 'somewhere' on a scale of human characteristics.
What I am completely against however, is a very male centric mindset amongst TRAs that seeks to impose their will with a blatant disregard for the rest of society.
'I want' = 'I must have at any cost'. That appears (to my mind) to be the attitude of TRAs.
Rather than actually listen and learn something from women who've endured (and continue to endure) incredible levels of sexism / prejudice - a plight TRAs also suffer, they've chosen to make enemies of those women who refuse to yield to every demand TRAs make.
They act like bullies, male bullies. It belies the true nature of themselves - as men.
Their claim of being women in the most complete terms becomes demonstrably implausible.
Women fighting for their rights are not wrong. They are not wishing to take away the rights of transpeople. They are not anti-trans.
Women who choose not to have sex with penis owners are not wrong to make this choice. They are not anti-trans any more than a vegetarian is anti-pig for not wishing to consume it.
I feel for those transpeople that are are trying to live their lives in an already difficult world, and where undoubtedly they face serious prejudice. I feel they are being misrepresented and done a grave disservice by the more vociferous and aggressive TRA's who claim to speak on behalf of them.
It's a measure of some of the women here that they do pause to question what they believe. That they reevaluate what's right and wrong.
But I hope they come back with a resounding confirmation that they are not wrong.
They are not the enemy of transpeople, they are an ally to humanity.
They extend an open hand, and TRA's extend a fist.
They open their hearts and minds, and what do TRA's do - they simply demand they open their legs to accept their cocks too.
