There is an excellent thread in a 16k member Labour Party facebook at the moment - a transwoman shared that bonkers MayDay article about the women with their AHF banner and almost all of the comments are pro women and criticising TRA ideology. The GC arguments are strong, rational and polite and the TRAs have just copied and pasted the same shrill responses over and over. Lots of men posting in solidarity with women, LM described as an ‘embarrassment to the party’.
Mods have banned the use of the word T**f too. Eventually comments were turned off, but it’s very clear that the majority of people interacting were pro GC - the GC comments have multiple likes, the TRAs don’t. Links were shared to Ann Ruzylo’s Twitter, to Sonia Poulton, to articles reporting on the comments made by Joan McAlpine.
Multiple posters refuted that the dictionary definition of ‘woman’ was transphobic. It was pointed out that Marx and Engels would be called terves by today’s TRAs.
This would’ve been unimaginable 6 months ago - TWAW would’ve parroted and the mods wouod’ve been harangued into deleting dissent (and probably have deleted the entire thing, rather than locking it and leaving it for posterity). TRAs attempting to intimidate a black, lesbian, socialist, caught on camera, during a John McDonnell speech = a bit fucking much. Finally.
People are waking up.
