One of the things about the "GC" movement is that at the start it was all trying to be reasonable and "of course I support real trans people, but what if a predatory man takes advantage?" and along the way it morphed into "all trans people are predators and must be identifiable and kept separate"
The cornerstone of modern transmisogyny is a complete denial of the harm trans women are subject to at the hands of society.
Politicians and gender-conservative activists revel in fictions of us as predatory men while erasing our elevated rates of assault, impoverishment, and hyperscrutiny.

I will repeat my ongoing statement as a survivor of childhood sex*al ab*se.
Never, in the many years I have been involved with online support of other survivors, has ONE single survivor said their ab*ser was a male predator pretending to be a trans female. It's not just a fantasy stirred up

The concierge at my apartment, so apologetic, told me about the woman who demanded to know who lives in my unit and why they were ordering vulgar blankets. She took a package not addressed to her, opened it, and was offended to find a huge woven blanket that says BITCH DO I LOOK LIKE I GIVE A FUCK

Entirely typical of the BBC's treatment of trans people that it presents Michael Foran, who is literally on the advisory Board of the Sex Matters hate group, as an independent expert.

A bloke in the pub yesterday declared that the USA had brought in their "nuclear" plane which could remain airborne for 100 years thanks to inflight refuelling, and this was because the safest place to be is "in the air".

Esther Ghey wrote to Starmer on Monday explaining in detail how she felt her daughter’s eating disorder and self-harm had been exacerbated by TikTok influencers with whom she had become obsessed. Continue reading...

I'll just leave this stat here.
Only four people in the UK have formally complained about a trans woman entering a “single-sex” facility, an eye-opening report has revealed.
A report published by advocacy group TransLucent found that only four official complaints were documented across 382 public bodies since 2022.

Keir Starmer did everything he could to be US poodle and his strategy has ended in total humiliation. Both him and Farage are puppets of a hostile foreign nation.
It's obvious that if someone is a bully - you don't just keep appeasing them.
