How do they stop comments from loading? Can't see the responses on the main tweet.

Saw on Facebook someone claiming that the feature editor"s dad is trans, and this could be a reason for the magazines "evil te*f" stance.

I love this little thread on twitter:

Women’s” magazines exist solely to make their readers feel inadequate, so that they’ll buy whatever unnecessary and overpriced crap their advertisers are flogging.

And in another comment Pro-trans = pro-makeup, pro-fashion, pro-plastic-surgery, etc.

Spot on!

Ok so I’ve had a couple of glasses of wine - but a quick read and it’s not too bad...

I hope that some of you will write more about this. I don't want to go on Twitter to see the comments as I am boycutting Twitter because they block women for being GC but don't block men for issuing rape threats and death treaths to GC women.

these views have only fuelled the fire of violent transphobia that already exists in the UK.

What violent transphobia? Fairly sure transphobic attacks are rare (thankfully) here and that when they do happen, its almost always men doing it, so nowt to do with radical feminists..

Despite how much noise they make online, TERFs are a minority group who normally stick to online forums

Still fooling themselves that people who acknowledge sex are in the minority I see. If it really was such a tiny fringe group, so much effort wouldn't need to be put into attacking us. And actively trying to stop us speaking..as sunlight is the best cure for this insanity as we all know.

So, to avoid all the confusion about slurs and names, let’s stop using the term TERFs and call them what they actually are – anti-trans activists.

Like TRAs are anti-woman activists, or MRAs. Of course. Caring about womens rights even a tiny bit is considered 'ant trans'.

Bunch more of the usual 'denying our right to exist' nonsense too. Same shit different day.

This article made me rage, unsurprisingly. Especially the part about radfems not being feminists fullstop because they refuse to centre dicks. But thats another as common as muck..same lies, same projecting, always.

Is there an image of the original article or a copy available? I want to share the content without giving it the clicks.

Hope this works, it should be the archive version of the article.

I came here precisely to see if anyone had commented about this.

The tweets this article has generated had me open-mouthed, not least for the fact at the childish nature of some of the responses, most of which involve incendiary name-calling and blocking. It does not seem possible to have a measured debate at all about this inflammatory topic.

It's ironic that if I do so under my real Twitter identity, it's a realistic possibility I could be fired. It's an even bigger irony that I work in a platform which sees itself as enlightened and liberated, and in which intellectual debate and free speech should be paramount.

Cosmopolitan has always been a misogynistic upholder of the patriarchy. There are no surprises there.

Aaarrgghhh · 23/09/2019 17:01

Seen this Let's call them what they actually are: anti-trans activists. and won’t read any further. It’s ridiculous to say we are anti trans ffs.
