Apparently it's people who don't believe you can magically change sex who are the loonies! Who knew?

I'm saying that there's not a way for any man to transition and not harm women and children.

There seems to be an idea that the majority of men who transition do so without harming women and children, but are quiet about it. And we only hear from the abusive ones.

What does a non abusive transition look like? If a man wants to be seen as a woman, at the very least he's going to change his name, get female id, change his pronouns. He's not going to correct anyone who calls him 'she'. He's allowing everyone around him, including children to pretend or be conned that he is female. That all causes safeguarding problems.

Lots of trans identifying men have contribute to threads here claiming to follow a reasonable transition. But its all based on the idea that they are in control of how and when they are 'outed' and use womens spaces.

After all, why transition and then be completely honest about your sex?

There are two links from Morris's children on this thread. The first one is Mark Morris and if you scroll down there is another link to an article about his daughter Suki

I don't know, maybe because some people are honest? If they're calling themselves 'trans' men and 'trans' women then they are telling you exactly what they are. I don't think there's much to be gained by this conversation really but I will continue to feel positive about how things could be in the future. Otherwise what's the point if we just say, it's all bad and nothing can change. Might as well just give up.

illinivich · 21/07/2025 20:02

Im not saying nothing can change. Im saying we should stop allowing men to hide their sex. That is achievable.

I'm just questioning if many of the quiet trans people would support it?

It's not really honest to pretend that you are somehow a member of the opposite sex.

Nobody here is going to object to people not conforming to gender stereotypes. The problem with the trans movement is that it reinforces gender stereotypes. A man who calls himself a transwoman is at the very least declaring that there are certain aspects of his appearance or personality which are exclusive to women. This is obviously absurd, since if even one single man has those attributes they are clearly not exclusive to women. And it's obviously offensive to women to suggest that they should have certain personality types or that their appearance should conform to certain stereotypes.

What is it, in your opinion, which distinguishes a nice, decent transwoman from any other man? As soon as they call themselves a transwoman they're declaring that they are a type of woman, not a type of man. What do you think it is that makes them a type of woman rather than a type of man? You, and they, know that they can't change sex, but using the word 'woman' to describe themselves implies that they think they can.

From James Esses today:

Leaked email from Labour MP, Tim Roca, in the aftermath of the Supreme Court judgment.

He suggests that there will be “nowhere for a trans person to go to the toilet”.

He is also “pushing for the puberty blockers trial to be as open as possible” to “vindicate our position”.

They are telling you that they are at best deluded, or at worst controlling.

Good grief. He’s actually pushing puberty blockers. I’m actually quite shocked by that email. It’s clearly to a group of devoted followers in Macc

SilenceOfTheTimTams · 21/07/2025 22:29

I know it’s been said many, many times, but TRA-ism really has all the hallmarks of fundamentalist religion.

This is like an uncompromising American Baptist nutter maintaining that there are human handprints found on dinosaur fossils. And when told that’s not true they just reject science altogether and say we should ‘open our minds’.

birchtreeglow · 21/07/2025 22:31

@CandidLurker

It does look like that doesn't it, and yes, it's a shocking email.

Here he is at MaccPride – Picnic in the Park – 4th May 2025, Victoria Park, Macclesfield. Not THE Pride event in Macclesfield, but one of them. There seem to be quite a few.

I note that he is asking people to get in touch if they ever have a “ negative experience” in the town. It almost sounds like there is a fast track route for people in this group to be able to contact him. Is it George Orwell’s Animal Farm where “some pigs are more equal than others”?

birchtreeglow · 21/07/2025 23:03

It does look that way.

I couldn't make it to the hustings. Wish now that I had changed my plans and gone.

Said that he would be committted to preserving single sex spaces (though I think I picked up in this vid that he also said something like "complicated").

What is Tim Toca on? He refers to ‘activists’ who don’t believe trans identities are as valid as other identities. Identities are neither valid or invalid.It’s about as meaningful as saying a painting is correct.

It’s depressing how many people in positions of authority clearly aren’t properly engaging their brains.

CandidLurker · 21/07/2025 23:16

The thing that did slightly concern me is who exactly is on this group given there has obviously been previous discussion of puberty blockers. Does Tim know who everyone is and their ages.

I was referring to those who were gay before transition and are now with same sex partners, i.e trans man with female partner and vice versa. These are the people I know. I don't know how the figures and percentages pan out however. Happy to take your word the second group is larger unless you want to share any studies. I do agree there's a certain group that have taken over, the second group you mention I imagine and I really wish the other group who aren't being loud would now step forward and show some reason. I can't believe that all trans people go along with the TRA's.

There is no "other group". You are deluded.
Just like quiet respectful men who treat women well individually will never actually stand up and denounce men who abuse, harrass and violate women because they indirectly benefit from this behaviour. It's not in their interests to effect actual change. They all belong to the patriarchy.
And all trans people belong to trans ideology in exactly the same way. They are NEVER going to stand up and say "not in my name " because it IS in their name. The behaviour of the "bad" ones indirectly benefits them by getting them what they want. Or has up to now.
There are individuals in both groups, of course, who DO stand up but in general this doesn't happen.
If you are waiting for a revolution by "ordinary good trans people" you'll be waiting a looooong time.

MistyGreenAndBlue · 22/07/2025 13:51

illinivich · 21/07/2025 11:16

The quiet ones are quietly changing their id, quietly using wonens spaces, quiety influencing government policies. Quiety reporting women for misgendering.

Exactly! They benefit from the behaviour of the activists. They'll never stand up against them.

As a lesbian let me explain;
gay men are not your friends. Most of them despise women.
We lesbians have known this for years but our straight sisters don't.

I think this is a bit much. There are plenty of sexist gay men but I really don't think most gay men despise women.

CandidLurker · 12/09/2025 07:30

As this has thread has popped up again I will update. I had a reply from Tim Roca which in summary made no apology and claimed it was all a hatchet job from the Telegraph. I’ve heard that another woman who complained received the same letter. He didn’t actually reply to any of the points in my email, all of which were based on what I heard him say myself in the recorded video and not on any Telegraph article. The subject line of the email had changed. from “definition of a “swivel-eyed transphobe” to “story in the Sunday Telegraph”. I changed it back again when I replied!

Catiette · 12/09/2025 10:08

That’s just made me think… This shift towards reframing previously relatively objective truths as „identities“ we’re seeing („I identity as Black/gay/neurodiverse“ etc.) - is that all also in implicit service to trans ideology? To validate „identifying as trans“ by, in a sense (to my mind) reducing other, contrasting PCs to a kind of declared self-perception? I’d never thought of it like that before.
