Some weeks (or maybe even months) ago someone made a post that was in the form of a short conversation between a transwoman and a feminist. I've never forgotten it as it resonates so much with me.
Of course now I can't find it or remember who the poster was.
Paraphrasing (which is why I want to find the original please):

feminist: We are concerned about male access to female spaces and how self ID may impact women
Transwoman: but we would never hurt you
Feminist: this is not about you, it is about women's safety
Transwoman: but you are accusing transwomen of being dangerous
Feminist: no, we are raising concerns about self-ID and the possible risks to women
Transwoman: but we would never hurt you
Feminist: this is not about you. It's about women's safety.

Can anyone lease help me find the (brilliant) original? Thanks

I like posts like that, they help to define things so clearly. Anyway, bumping too in the hope one of the regulars will spot it and know

Why on earth would you want to reference a post with such obvious flaws in its reasoning?

Cutting out one half of the debate is just silencing. Something that one hates when one believes it is being applied to oneself, so definitely something that should not be dished out.

That kind of post only plays well to RadFem. If you want to be persuasive if the wider feminist community, do have a think about its limitations.

@MoggyP I think it resonated with me because the concerns regarding self ID are not about protection from transwomen (as far as I'm aware only one transwoman has openly attacked a woman recently and that has already been dealt with by the courts). It's about putting safeguards in place to prevent anyone using self-ID for nefarious purposes (social, political or criminal).
