Why is anti-trans so important?

[Elizabethbd]

So, I will preface this with saying that I’m not in the UK, and my country does not yet have the kind of anti-trans debate as there is in the English speaking world.

So, I have a hard time understanding why this is such an important question to many women.

Surely there are women’s issues that affect a larger part of society.

I’m thinking rape and violence towards women, homelesness, sex trafficking and honour killings. Why are these issues not more important and worthy of attention, as they affect so many more women than those who come into contact with trans women (or men)?

Totally!

Yet again, I can’t work out if this is serious or trolling??

My satire-meter is definitely broken.

Feck knows. There's been a lot of it on this thread recently. I don't really care - it gives us an excellent opportunity to set out our beliefs and opinions and show that they are pro-women not anti-trans, and trans people are very welcome to their own rights, but just their own, not women's as well.

I love what FeistyCat wrote:

I am more than proud to have my posts in your screenshots. Why? Because I have not posted anything anti-trans. Only pro-women. The same as everyone else on this thread. And I wager that all the rest of the women on this thread feel the same way, and feel no shame in anything they posted and would be proud to be in your screenshots. So..... what is it exactly that you think you achieved, other than women explaining to you why women need our hard won human rights? You came away empty-handed.

Very well said, Feisty!

FYI, using a womans name as a handle is always a dead giveaway. Its the online equivalent of wearing stockings.

O what a tangled web we weave...

The thing is, even a cursory search reveals this to be the umpteen hundredth wide eyed mumsnet ingenu with a plausible backstory and so it goes

As we say in Scotland "heard it"

I wouldn't be too keen on meeting a dead woman in a "bathroom" either; it would be rather a shock, even if she wasn't a notorious murderer.

With the tiny minority of people who are trans out there I feel its unlikely il encounter a trans woman who is a criminal.

We created a loophole, where any man, any time, can access women's private spaces containing vulnerable women and girls.

How many predators did that?
