Is there a feminist or group of feminists who is/are prepared to sit down with me & have a discussion about the issues surrounding trans women? I really don’t want to misrepresent either side in this.

"I am told" Well, if you're going to behave as if it exists - shouldn't you check first? Relying on what you are 'told' is a risky way to proceed. Did you never fact-check when you were the police?

Several instances of violence and intimidation from trans activists. The idea that there is violence on “both sides” is wrong. You might want to look at the assault at Hyde Park and incidents on the Bectu picket line, the anarchist bookfair, etc. Venues are threatened.

In the US, transactivist Dana Rivers, who played a part in having the women’s festival Michfest closed down for not allowing pre-op ‘transwomen’ in, is facing the death penalty for stabbing and shooting a lesbian family. The murdered women were Michfest attendees.

We have archives of death threats, threats of sexual violence, fantasies of killing feminists and our children and using our body parts. http://Terfisaslur.com is a start. Here is some of the milder stuff.pic.twitter.com/ZpbCvZ7g7k

We aren’t doing this. Men are doing this to us because we don’t believe that they are women and that they should have access to us and our children. We know that the GRC was fine for transsexuals so self-ID is about men with paraphilias excited about gaining access.

Conservative estimates are that 41% of trans-identified male offenders in prison are sexual offenders. Two new prisons will have to be built to house the men identifying as trans. They want access to the female estate. This includes Ian ‘Lian’ Huntley.https://fairplayforwomen.com/impact-gra-reform-uk-prisons/ …

Exactly. Why is it there are plenty of accusations of RF violence but no actual evidence? Surely if it was that prevalent it would be easy to prove?

Which is why I’m hoping
@brianpaddick is genuinely interested in questioning what he’s been told - on both sides. Open minded scrutiny is what’s needed. -
He's a Lib Dem so don't get your hopes up too high, and I say that as a former supporter.

Well as I said, I’ll reserve judgement for now. I’m unsurprised at how few TAs have responded - if this had been a woman MP this tweet thread would have looked completely different...

Overwhelmingly male though (more male sex offenders in prison than the whole of the female prison population) which is enough of a reason for women to retain some safe spaces.
-
I think I just said that!
-
I know. It was worth repeating! We shouldn't lose female spaces because a few women are violent criminals though, when the issue for women (and men for that matter) is men. (Not all men, before someone throws that back at me!)
-
Women shouldn't be bullied into silence (threats to their jobs, doxxing and rape/death threats) for trying to protect our hard fought for rights.

Your slip is showing. 'I am told' is not good enough. If you state that publicly you should have done the research to back it up. Perhaps also consult with
@TracyXXs who tried to tell Stella Creasy about the boy who masturbated in front of her daughter at school while trans. -
