Just asking as I’m new to MN and appalled at the threads in here D:

I don't hate trans people.
Pretty much what Sonic said, actually.

Someone compared the debate which happens on here with two sides arguing about religion in that it is highly unlikely one side will ever convert the other to their way of thinking. It is an emotive issue with feelings versus facts.
Live and let live is what many on here would adhere to....but when one group's rights will erode another's, that stance becomes problematic -
I am not against legislation that would make someone's life easier but when that same legislation allows abuse of the system overall, it is fair to question it.

No hate here. I agree with Soubriquet

Just a link for any readers who may be taken in by the 'trans rights are the new gay rights' bullshit posted above.

I don't hate trans people but I do strongly dislike it when people attempt to erase my rights and the recognition of my sex class as a distinct group of people.

As a lesbian I object to my identity being coopted by mostly straight women to make an argument so vehemently opposed to human empathy and understanding.

Well that sentence could be about a man, with a penis, objecting to people with vaginas who sleep with other people with vaginas.

If you can't define lesbian, woman, or straight, you've got a problem.

I don't hate trans people, I don't think the vast majority of people on this forum do either.

I have masses of empathy for anyone suffering gender dysphoria, it must be soul destroying, and they deserve help to either overcome it or adjust their lives so it is bearable.

However, what I don't believe, and will not be cajoled, scolded, coerced or bullied into believing, is that human beings can literally change sex, or that there are 'pink' or 'blue' brains/souls/inner essence.

I also do not believe it is fair, just, or right, that anybody can self ID their way into another sex class.

Hello again! Smile It's been a while since you last popped up to ignore all posts and actual discussion, and rant away at everyone

FoxyLaRoxy · 06/02/2019 09:53

Hate is a strong word. I don’t hate anyone OP. I dislike TRA’s for their immature behaviour towards GC people (the actual violence, the abusive language, the lies, the attempts at control). I have every sympathy for someone with gender dysphoria, and feel that everyone should be able to break free from sex stereotypes that are put upon us. However, I will not be forced to lie because it might upset someone else’s feelings.

I am pro-woman, gender critical and I am fed up with the appropriation of my sex.

Moominfan · 06/02/2019 09:54

I used to think the same op but spend some time hearing people's concerns and be open minded

Datun · 06/02/2019 09:54

Oh, I see the OP has plopped onto umpteen threads, to disagree and then bogged off.

Time waster.

Rufusthebewilderedreindeer · 06/02/2019 10:04

Oh i know i said i dont hate anyone

And i dont

But i intensely dislike ploppers...

So intensely that it could be considered hate i suppose, its bloody close

LangCleg · 06/02/2019 10:04

I'm wondering why sixty-odd people feel the need to justify themselves to the world's goadiest OP.

BernardBlacksWineIcelolly · 06/02/2019 10:07

Yeah, a plopper

Rude

Slow morning?

BertrandRussell · 06/02/2019 10:07

I don’t hate trans people. If you see transphobia report it and it’ll be deleted.

MillytantForceit · 06/02/2019 10:08

More of a patient explanation to a pestering five year old.

Horsewithnoma · 06/02/2019 10:11

Just asking as I’m new to MN and appalled at the threads in here D:

I am (relatively) new here myself and I have noticed a pattern; there are quite a few threads like this one where the OP accuses people here of hatred and/or bigotry but then does not engage at all. Now then, if I think I am right about something then I want to put my case. Why won't trans advocates do this? (I think I know the answer) Why is it always #nodebate? Anyone would think that trans ideology won't stand up to scrutiny?

Anyway, as I said before, I've only been on here for a bit so please can someone point to a thread on here where one of the OPs DOES engage and can put a coherent case for trans people? Because if such a thread exists I haven't found it yet.

Thanks - not holding breath smiley.

R0wantrees · 06/02/2019 10:11

There's a thread called break it down for me on this board, that s very informative.

Rufusthebewilderedreindeer · 06/02/2019 10:14

Im having a bad day

It started at about 4.30 yesterday Sad

But i really wanted to know whether super hates people as she didnt say in her OP...i thought it would be rude not to give my opinion

But in case super is reeading (hahahahahahah fucking hell im funny) then im not justifying myself to some random plopper Grin.

Ereshkigal · 06/02/2019 10:17

Then trans issues started turning up on Mumsnet, and I don't miss FSTDT any more.

Cool story, bro.

Hoppinggreen · 06/02/2019 10:24

I don’t hate Transpeople
Not too keen on you though OP

I replied for the lurkers. I lurked for ages before starting posting and threads like this helped me understand the POV on here.

NoseringGirl · 06/02/2019 10:25

Well that was a holding fail Confused

NoseringGirl · 06/02/2019 10:25

Clearly today is not my day Grin
