Oh, wise and wonderful women of feminism chat

Please help me to compose a message or something.
I have a very woke Facebook acquaintance, who happens to be a gay man. He's inciting people to report fair play for women on Facebook for hate speech due to their "transphobic" post. Not sure which post exactly. A lot of people are following his lead it appears.
Anything I can go back to him with? I've never spoke up on my Facebook page about this issue as I'm too scared, but want to be brave!
I've been lurking on these pages, posting occasionally but learning so much from you eloquent ladies.

I think that's pretty good - the deleting of his posts, I mean. It shows he doesn't feel he's on firm ground.

Excellent result! At least no one else will have to see it. Massive well done for sticking your head above the parapet and saying something on your social media, it's really not an easy thing to do

I'd ask why he was deleting posts. If you spout in public then you should explain in public maybe? Especially if you have been trying to turn people's heads.

That's actually a good result. As someone else said these beliefs are akin to creationism. People don't back down. If he's deleted, he knows you're making a point he can't argue with or that his friends will realise is sensible. Well done challenging him.

It's good to see he deleted the post. Well done, OP!

Next time something like this happens, don't defend yourself in any way and stick to questions only. If he accuses you of something you never said, point that out specifically by saying you never said that. Don't accept any false accusations. People like him do not argue in good faith.

I have found this guide very helpful:

I have even used some of this advice here on MN.

Thanks everyone for giving me the strength to finally speak out on social media! I'm glad he deleted it, think it helped I wasn't the only one questioning him.

Sometimes people see a bandwagon and think "Hey, here's something that won't cost me anything, I won't have to do anything, it won't affect me, but I can look like a wonderful supportive person by mouthing some platitudes. TWAW!".

His only response was to twist my words accusing me of saying all trans people are sexual predators. Not sure what part of my post said that. Me thinks I hit a nerve!

"To more bluntly, no one is scared of trans people here. They're scared about rapists. Some rapists say they're trans [and no one can question that even if it's Ian Huntley because of Self ID]. Get over it."

I'm still on an anonymous twitter account for my gender critical views because I'm scared somehow someone will find out who I am and complain to my work or something. I know it's silly but I just can't risk it.

Dear god, women speaking to other women who want to protect their daughters? Heresy!

Honestly not sure how you get through to someone so sexist that the sight of women working with other women to protect girls outrages him.

And I see he's deleted. Is no doubt sulking at you now.
