Things which are not #transphobic, despite TRAs shouting otherwise:
- safeguarding children and vulnerable adults
- homosexuality
- heterosexuality
- women’s rights
- science
- evidence-based healthcare
- asking questions
- women saying ‘no’ to men

Sex, race, religion, sexual orientation: all are protected characteristics under the Equality Act 2010. Gender identity is not. Gender reassignment is not the winning card in a game of top trumps. Every protected characteristic must be considered when changing policy or law.
Women, men, genuine sufferers of gender dysphoria: Your rights, safety, privacy and dignity and those of your children and elderly parents are under threat by a bunch of self-entitled men yelling ‘transphobe’ at you. You are allowed to say no.
Hi @Karen_McInnes 👋🏼
Just wanted to draw your attention to a screenshot that someone had sent me, which shows someone using your name + picture to post material that strongly implies a move towards violent tactics being used against #trans people.

I’d like to draw particular attention to the picture used in the screenshot.
I think it is reasonable to conclude that this is exactly the same picture posted on your Twitter profile - @Karen_McInnes - on June 4th 2018.

Furthermore, I’d like to draw attention to some of the language used in the screenshot post:
“I hope every woman in the world piles on him and harasses him so much he fucking slits his own throat”

Ah, the anti-trans crowd are desperately trying to get #ROGD traction and legitimacy by trying to get it trending on Twitter.
So let's break it down.
#ROGD is pseudo-scientific bunkum that has less credibility than the flat earth theory.
Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

But in all seriousness, #ROGD is nothing more than the #transphobic denial of reality, and an attempt to explain away a phenomenon that has parallels running throughout history and is already well understood.
See, here's the thing. As the results of the UK LGBT Survey...

showed, trans ppl in the UK still face horrific levels of abuse and discrimination in society. And, as with any marginalised group in society that faces that level of threat to their safety and health, anybody who wants to come out as being trans has to make a calculation...

@SurvivorsnetBtn @RASASC_London @survivorstrust @Danvers07943910 @ObjectUK @BrightonSurvivorsNET “In the light of a highly disturbing increase of #transphobia locally & nationally…” IF everything anybody says or does is #transphobia, of course you can say it is rising. Any reputable statistics?
@SurvivorsnetBtn @RASASC_London @survivorstrust @Danvers07943910 @ObjectUK “…so the date @Womans_Place_UK event feels like a concerted effort to make #trans ppl, & particularly #transwomen, feel #intimidated and #invalidated” Is it the position of SN that the sensitivities of #transwomen mean that #democracy should be suspended any time they say so?

.Every day in twitterverse I watch straight young white people who identify as "progressive" demean and diminish the lives of the marginalized & insist that WE need to recognize that "economic security" is the #1 issue all liberals need to focus on which will then solve all. (1)
.I watch them speak from their lofty privilege not realizing that they are standing on a platform built by the very people they demean. Their lack of gratitude for the work of these before them blows my mind. Their robotic devotion to an establishment man with minimal (2)
.accomplishments in his career is staggering. What saves me from despair is the ongoing work of POC and LGBTQ activists and allies who continue to engage the #racist & #homophobic #misogynist #transphobic "sleeping" people. Huge credit to all of you doing this work (3)
So, I mentioned yesterday that it felt like the so-called "feminists" on everybody's least favourite board were, in the terms of the analogy, working themselves up to another tantrum spiral.
Turns out I was right. And with things like this I hate being right, but, well, at least it's even more exposure about what really goes on at the so-called "Feminism Chat" board on @MumsnetTowers #mumsnet

So, first of all, what am I talking about when I say 'tantrum spiral'.
@MumsnetTowers so-called "feminists" have a distinct posting pattern of late.
i) Things start to slump on the board, and they lose a few more posters.
ii) To try and make the board look more...
