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 accept that but my point is different. People should speak for themselves. Unless they’ve asked every woman, feminist, man, whatever, they cannot say “no feminist thinks x” or even “the majority of feminists think x”. “I’ve never met a violent woman”
“Women aren’t violent”

Also, I have yet to see any violent threats from so called TERFS to Transfolk or Transactivists. I have seen dozens and dozens of death, rape and violent threats against women. This has spilled over into real life on at least 3 occasions.These are all personal observations/ views

I know that when I say 'Humans beings cannot be born into a body with the wrong genitals' I am speaking for very many people. I think I could go so far as to say, in that, I am speaking for the vast majority of feminists working in this area. It matters more to women, generally.

Finally, as an ex teacher and mother I’m very concerned with the notion of puberty blockers being used on children. Children, who if left alone would most likely turn out to be gay rather than trans. Stinks of conversion therapy. There are many strands to this issue.

Men competing, despite physical advantages, skeletal, muscular lung capacity etc. I realised that stats would be skewed by including bio males, and all that implies. I am concerned that gender is conflated with sex and orgs go into schools to teach unscientific gender spectrum.

I then realised that over 80% of transwomen keep their penises and remain attracted to women. I noticed women complaining that they had been called bigot as they were not attracted to penises despite the fact they were lesbians. I also noticed women’s sports which now have bio

Ok, I’ve been studying this area carefully now for about 6 months, first by looking to see what each side said. I realised quickly that women need safe spaces away from all men when we are vulnerable, eg when changing, in the shower at a gym, toilets, rape suites, dv hostels 1)

To be fair, there’s always going to be someone who thinks a particular thing, no matter how loopy! Doesn’t mean it’s a widely held belief, or mainstream among a particular group of feminists. I’m just worried we’ll all be tarred with the same (largely unrepresentative) brush!
