On a hen do. Guy comes up and says his name and stuf. After talking a bit he was like are you transgender. I was like why did you even ask that and out of nowhere he threw his drink over me. For no reason. I was just trying to enjoy my night. Why did he do it. I can't stop crying
Home safe
He said his name was "Oliver". He was about 5'9, white, brown hair, short beard
I was just trying to enjoy my night. I did nothing to him. I was nice even. It was totally unprovoked. Why do cis people hate us so much. I feel so bad. I don't want to be here
My cis friends stuck up for me. There were a lot of people there. I'm still shocked. I don't even know what happened. I don't know why he did it. I was just talking with my friends. Why. What is wrong with me
Already the GCs are here to say I deserved it. Why. I'm just like you. I'm just trying to have a nice night with my friends. I just want a normal life. Please just leave me alone. Please. Please
More than one person in the QTs telling me to k*ll myself. You can blame me for looking if you want but I think drawing a line and blocking these people is important
I can't sleep
It's horrible being clocked on its own merits. Makes me feel awful about how I look and sound. But I think the worst bit is the fear. At least he just threw a drink. At least I was with my friends. What happens when neither of those things are true. I'm so scared
Up until then I had such a good night. I made this cocktail at a class, the man teaching us was really funny

Sometimes I remember this and laugh. Does anything say cis man more than whining about being described as "not trans" because it reminds you trans people exist, then describing it as the worst form of misogyny in a world full of rape, forced birth etc that he'll never experience
The most misogynistic thing in existence is when I'm called not trans! - a man who votes Republican
Gender Critical people love waving their genitals around in public. It's a fetish unique to them called "autogynephilia". There could have been kids watching but they don't care. Perverts like this should have their birth certificate changed to male
You can see they aren't wearing underwear so this was premeditated
Are innocent women like me supposed to share public spaces with people who plan to flash women in public?
😂😂 Mumsnet heard there was a flasher, instantly assumed it was a trans person because their brains are oozing out of their ears, and had some choice words to say about their own ally by accident
When Gender Criticals eventually lose the battle for GRA Reform, both Scotland and here, it will be because of two things. How hard we fought will obviously be one, but the other will be because they chose fearmongering and lying over making good arguments
They fought as hard as us. And they have more money, way more media dominance, a more supportive government and nothing on the line. I could point out that they didn't have empathy or morals on their side, but I don't really think that matters in court or parliament
When it comes to it the rare times trans people ever get a voice we've turned up with facts, statistics, a knowledge of the law etc. And GCs have turned up with wacky conspiracy bullshit and echo chamber nonsense. They've invented an entire alternate reality.
I have a meta complaint about how conservatives think that I think applies generally
Here we have Person A (TransgenderTrend) saying something that relies on Premise X (that you can't always tell who is trans without asking)
I call out the bs Person A is saying, and to...
defend them Person B strongly asserts that Premise X is false
I see this literally every single day. And yeah it's maddening and they're wrong and blah blah blah
But can you imagine your brain working like this. I guess it's what happens when you pick a team rather than a...
logically consistent position
Just imagine an inverse situation: I like Person C and they say something that requires Premise Y to be true. I might agree with the general direction they're pointing with and like them as a person, but I still couldn't agree if I think...
For those who haven't heard yet: a radio show booked an Australian "Gender Critical" man to argue against trans rights. But people checked his Twitter likes and they were half GC and half... trans porn. YEARS worth of it. So he cancelled his appearance and deleted his account 😂
Writing your own reply, even if it is just a couple of sentences, is more important. We want honest and authentic replies! Something the GCs can't give
