Of course you're not hated on here. And the understanding that men instantly change the dynamic of the room is not a principle that you are suddenly exposing people to. Everyone gets that. This is a public forum, anyone can post. And NAMALT always gets short shrift.
One of the reasons why people will highlight what an individual transwoman might do is because the culture of No Debate has been very successful and many people don't know what's going on. They don't understand the scope of it, don't understand how it can be leveraged, or the absolute batshittery of a lot of the ideology.
This forum is called mumsnet and very many women, a significant amount, come to this on the back of the transing of children.
The idea that unstudied, unregulated medication is being administered to vulnerable children, with unknown side-effects is horrendous. People like Jazz Jennings, who is permanently sterile, medicated for ever, has no sex life, and has been through horrendous surgical procedures and clearly has the outlook of a child, is frightening for women whose children are soaked in queer theory and are very, very susceptible.
And it's not just about feminism. Many of them aren't feminists. They come to this particular board, to find out what's going on, to learn. And sometimes, highlighting the nuttiness of individuals, illuminates the problem far more than just talking.
Many of the academic and well read feminists have left here, not prepared to be censored. So it may come across as something of a hybrid. Outraged mothers and women, new to feminism, but suddenly lifting the lid on something they didn't know was even there. Together with women who have been radical feminists for decades.
To put your mind at rest, it absolutely recruits women, they are coming in their droves to feminism and learning. It's probably the biggest push in decades.
