It is becoming more and more apparent that the hysterical reaction of some trans rights activists to any assertion that there are fundamental differences between transwomen and women is because they know it is true. In order to maintain the TWAW facade is to shut down any dissenting voices. In this day and age, the best way to do this is to claim ‘hate speech’ or bigotry.
Let’s face it, if someone claimed that women with other protected characteristics weren’t real women, yes-they would be called racist, disablist etc. but people would welcome holding them to account. People would want to hear their argument and debate it on the radio in order to completely take down their argument. It is so telling that there is such a strong desire to shut down any debate, I am convinced this is because (whether conscious of it or not) the people shutting down the debate doubt their own position.
They would be on much stronger ground if they said TW are not the same as women but deserve to be treated as such!
