      Pretty heartbroken talking to trans people on the receiving end of a coordinated all out media war, with almost nothing in the media fighting back. My word. History is going to be so damning, and so unforgiving.

      When gay rights started winning, it was met with a vicious, nasty, unforgiving backlash by politicians and the media. That's because the Anti-Gay Lobby were losing, and they *knew it*. The exact same thing is happening today with the doomed Anti-Trans Lobby.

      Imagine being an opponent of trans rights and believing this was the one exception of history looking kindly on opponents of a struggle for minority rights. It is not going to happen. You are a) going to lose and b) be damned by history forever.

          One of the main reasons trans rights will triumph is because of both trans and cis women. Every scrap of polling evidence in the US shows it is *cis women* who support trans rights most. As ever, male chauvinism remains the main obstacle. It'll be overcome.

          Finally: a message to those who trying to get me sacked for supporting trans rights - my response will be to speak more loudly on this issue, in case you thought I was either a) silenced or b) intimidated.

          I'd imagine that it's all about how much money they can make from it right now though I'd imagine.

          Imagine using your platform to perpetuate gender stereotypes instead of encouraging young people to have their expression of female and male accepted. Homophobic bullying behind this

          Seems to me you really dislike women expressing political views about gendered oppression with which you disagree. #masculineprivilege

          Shouldn't you use "hirstory" or "Eirstory", just to be inclusive of non-binary transpeople, ya know?

          The usual over emotional guff from you. Transrights can be accommodated without forcing people to believe biological impossibilities. There are solutions that don't disadvantage women and girls and it would be good if you started dialogue on those points instead of grandstanding
