"Trans activists" don't have anywhere near the power you imply they do in this tweet.

I'd like to point out that once again we are very closely recapitulating history and the 90s was filled with right-wing predictions we'd see "waves" of people "fleeing the gay lifestyle" after being "recruited into it" and suing all the counselors who "enabled the AIDS epidemic"

It's amazing and in its own way a curse how short people's memories are People act like it took so long to pass same sex marriage because we just got busy and never got around to it, not that it was a mainstream and accepted opinion that "homosexuality is a public health crisis"

This endless repetition of the 'history repeating itself' talking point is so stupid Can't you concieve of anything new happening, or any new ideas being fought over? Everything is cast as the same manichean argument, and you utterly fail to see what the debate is really about

Yes, I can, which is why I support trans people and am trying to learn what I can as a cis person from them You guys are the ones who insist on repeating history

So you're just going to stick to the talking point then. OK. If you think life-long LBGT activists and left-wing feminists and trade-unionists have somehow all suddenly become bigots, and are rehearsing right-wing anti-gay propaganda, then you're stuck in a paranoid bubble

Right, but the Heritage Foundation and the alt-right suddenly switching to being "allies of vulnerable women" makes perfect sense to you

I'll just note that this, also, is rewriting history in the exact same way The center-left Guardian readers who make up the core TERF demographic were never leaders in anything and absolutely were same-sex marriage "skeptics" back when that was the fight

Evidence? I remember a conversation (late 2013) trying to work out why people wanted it but no one opposing it.

Equality in marriage relies on recognising that sexuality is innate and sex-specific, & some people, of any sexuality, want to be able to marry. There is a group of people currently denying the existence &/or significance of biological sex, harassing the LGB, & it isn’t “terfs.”

What you just said is an obvious falsehood right on the face of it and you can tell because your ally Baroness Nicholson openly disagrees The whole point of "marriage equality" is to REMOVE any language "on the basis of sex" from the legal definition of marriage
