There's also - trans people are powerful and threaten society, and have captured all the major institutions, but also, there's a tiny, tiny number of them and they are all failed men or easily influenced women, usually suicidal, and unable to think clearly about anything.
In societies that are accepting it can rise to over 1%. The reason it remains so low here is because most of us remain in hiding. Any of us who have been out and available to be contacted, as i have been in the past can attest to just how many trans people are in the closet, usually pre transition, but sometimes even post transition, which is how I live now. Nobody knows i'm trans other than my doctor, my employer and a few friends.
Even 1% is tiny - the level of attention this issue gets is out of all proportion. I just don't get why some people are so incensed about it, and disproportionately obsessed with it.
Yes, there is the fascist element with the 'strongman' stereotype, anti-abortion (and other anti-feminist) shit and so on, promoting extreme gender stereotypes which will include being anti- anyone who doesn't conform to those.
Robin did go last year and it was fine (and there was a prominent photo of them in Vogue's online story about it!) and I'm sure they'll go this year but I am just so angry things are going backwards to the point that we have to worry more about hatred than we did even a few years ago.
The way they talk about women's sports, you'd think practically every second female athlete was trans. No trans women played in the women's Euros or World Cup (Barbara Banda does not count despite what TERFs think). It's only a tiny handful but to hear them talk you'd think there was this huge takeover going on. And most of them aren't even arsed about women's sports anyway when trans people aren't involved. Riley Gaines has made a whole career out of coming 5th and whining about Lia Thomas.

Which is why I really hope to god the Tories aren't let in again because they seem set on going full fash. US has set the trend for enacting policies that there is no popular call for because it makes them look like they are 'doing something' to make the world more like it was 'when everything was better'. And you're seeing women saying they'll vote Tory 'because they care about women' (in the form of being transphobic) - fortunately they are not the sizeable election-swinging group they seem to believe themselves to be but it blows my mind they can believe the Tories give a shit about women. I fully expect the Tories, if given a chance, to curtail maternity rights 'for the sake of productivity' and to quite possibly lean towards anti abortion because... it's 'doing something'.
wanker;s remorse in the case of the men and internalised misogyny often combined with privlege in the case of the AFAB transphobes
autogynephilia exists solely becasue ray Blanchard is a paraphilic gay man with an obsession about trans women , AGP is used to punish those who do not validate his paraphilia
Blair Hamilton's work for her PhD blows quite a few holes in the myths pushed by the trasnsphobes about women's sport
Lots of hyperbole. Trans women are not banned from all sports they are banned from competing against women in some sports as they have real physical advantages over women, advantages that are purely due to genda factors....trans women are physically different.
This is Muffin. No matter how many times I correct him, he continues to pronounce hyperbole - hyper bowl. It's quite cute actually. Unlike transphobia as an Internet sport, which he finds very distasteful.
it's telling that the fash scum only care aobut women;s sport when they can attack trans women
Like darts, chess and snooker, and park runs. Also in cycling a large frame is a disadvantage. This pogrom against trans women in women's sports is entirely ideologically driven as none of you can point to any situation where trans women dominated women's sport. Nor does the science show that trans women have a genetic advantage - that's just something you pulled out of your collective asses.
To all those i see on here claiming that "women speaking up" about the "trans menace" and "threat to women" is having no real world effect on trans people's safety are, again, speaking out of their collective arses. We know that this isn't a coincidence, its in fact one of their aims. And its why they do they visible street stuff, pulling in the local fash at the same time to do their dirty work. they learned a lot from Hitler.
You're right to be angry but I wouldn't waste it on obvious trolls like _Russ_
Yeah but on Facebook, Twitter and Bluesky i can block the TERFs and transphobes, here they just keep on keeping on, and never go away.
