    Harassment from transphobic feminists was a really debilitating feature of 2018 - so I can only imagine how it has been for trans people. Yet again the actual material impact on people's lives is what gets ignored. Solidarity.

        Or maybe you should ask yourself why left-leaning feminists and lesbians who've been in the women's lib movement longer than you've been alive have suddenly all become "bigots". Criticism is not harrassment. Disagreement is not hate.

        This was the question that got me interested in gender-critical feminism. As a fairly disinterested bystander I vaguely wondered why so many veteran feminists had apparently (according to some acquaintances of mine) turned into raging bigots. Was it old age?..

        ..A bit mean isn't it, calling transwomen "men"? Oh no, hang on, what's that? LITERAL, fully intact men are claiming to LITERALLY be women in order to gain access to our rights, protections, spaces, platforms, sports?! I'm only embarrassed it took me so long to wake up to it.

        What do you think the material impact of constant harassment, threats and violence might be? For one thing suicide is a lot more prevalent among trans people.

        Produce the stats in the UK to back up that claim and produce evidence that the cause of any actual suicide was anything other than mental health problems. Also produce evidence of threats of violence from genuine WRA. If you can’t do this please question your assertions.

        I don't understand the use of 'harassment'. If you publicly tweet things that affect women, why would you not expect them to push back? It's not like women who hold the majority view of the UK aren't getting disproportionately attacked for said views. https://twitter.com/helenstaniland/status/1055128955894808577?s=21 …

        Many women are affected by trans activism, not just ones you would consider transphobic. However, whenever anyone speaks out about these issues they get accused of harassment.

        Because the way cis women are impacted by trans activism is in no way comparable to the way trans people are impacted by anti-trans rhetoric. Has any cis woman ever been murdered due to trans activism? The way trans people are murdered every day due to anti-trans stigma?

        What about my basic rights? Oh right I'm trans so as far as you're concerned I don't deserve any rights because I'm worthless and must only exist on the terms you set because my life can never matter as much as yours does. Just fucking say it, you want us done away with.
