This kind of threads really bugs me. Yes, most women used to be kind and open to transsexuals because 1) they were very rare, 2) there was an understanding that they were guests, not the rulers of our spaces, 3) women were told these TS were suffering unbearably prompting https://twitter.com/sallyrugg/status/1349936982089035776

women to respond in accordance with the patriarchal feminine stereotypes forced on us since birth: with care and abnegation.

With Self-ID and the "debate" around it, women have discovered that 1) there are lots of men who would be quite happy to invade our spaces,

2) when they do they behave as the masters of the house, posting selfies of themselves in our spaces, sometimes with swords and threatening to beat us up or rape us if we object and 3) the majority of these males are not suffering from debilitating body dysmorphia at all

But are in fact intact males with a sexual fetish who usually really quite love their male parts to the point that they instruct lesbians to learn to pleasure them.

So yes, women's caring &self effacing response has changed because we have been made aware of the threat self-ID

and genderism poses for us.

It is a classic case of give an inch and they take the entire planet and then blame you for having shown kindness and tolerance in the first place.

Then there is the accusation that recognizing males as males is the same as thinking black women are not women and... well, the racism and stupidity of this should be evident to anyone.

No, you will not guilt trip us into accepting that your overreach, your imposition and your colonisation are ok just because we were once kind to TS and stupid enough in the first place to give you the benefit of the doubt.

The use of the word cis, to relegate usto a mere subset of our sex class says it all: it is a take over. They are not asking for a favour, they are saying our spaces, our words, our rights, our struggles, our specificities belong to them.
