      The thing about reporting transphobes to Twitter is that you have to re-read every fucking hate-filled, brain-dead piece of shite they've posted. And they RT each other incessantly, so you end up reporting several.

      Then, of course, if you use a certain term to describe them, they report you for hate speech, misogyny, etc.🙄

      It's amazing how aggressive they get when they sense that you can contradict them with evidence, isn't it? Yay for being a minority. Incidentally, "Frank" is a recently created account that was only activated just before Xmas. I suspect a fake.

      I’m learning. Their nastiness is reaching (and sometimes even surpassing) antivaxxer levels.

      It’s more complicated. They are taking real issues of women’s rights and sexual violence against women and projecting that on Trans people. They think their female identity is being diminished. 1/2

      They feel that men will use this whole trans issue to fake being trans to attack women. I don’t deny their fear, but so far there is no evidence of that.

      Is there an equivalent feeling among men that women who identify as male diminish their masculinity?

          Why engage with self styled expert (male) mark rather than say the (female) developmental biologist you ignored yesterday? I think i know.

          power dynamics of patriarchy mean that transmen don't get any power. They don't get to compete in men's sports, they don't inflitrate the boardrooms. It's not a coincidence that transmen make the news for having babies.

          No person is going to go through the effort, the harassment, the threat of violence, the rejection of family and friends, the cost, the medical procedures, hormone replacement, hormone suppression, reconstructive surgery etc. For the hell of it
