The UK isn't 'TERF Island', it's 'Awareness Island'. TRA's are seemingly unwilling or unable to understand what the 'problems' they are experiencing are actually about. You really, really need to understand it 1/ Image What the UK has is a strong feminist movement, that largely originated within the political left / unions so understands class analysis. Highly organised & tenacious, they've raised public awareness like nowhere else on earth. 2/

Men: have you considered that maybe the "TERFs" have a point? That they're actually just reasonable women with the good faith & sincere belief being female has affected their experience of being human? That maybe they're not evil witches that need to choke to death on cocks? Have you honestly listened to a single word any of them have to say? Why can't you form a single coherent argument against them without resorting to making stuff up, name-calling and threats of sexual violence?

I think the gender debate is so infuriating, not just because TRA’s assertions and demands are often crazy, but because they don’t even agree *with themselves*. The whole thing is contradictions, conflation and incoherence. So I have some questions 1/ If sex is a spectrum and male / female don’t really exist, then what are you transitioning from / to? Even if intersex / DSD’s meant a third sex (it doesn’t) why is it never addressed that ALMOST NONE of you *are actually intersex*? 2/

So, mainly for my own sanity, here are a few thoughts to get off my chest about the whole ‘gender debate’. This might be a long thread so please feel free to scroll on by if it’s not for you. So, here goes: Not to mention the women that will just retreat and not use facilities at all. Is this OK? My friends’ teenage daughters that don’t dare drink anything at school because they hate using the gender neutral toilets. Is this OK?
