The biggest trick the TRAs ever pulled off? Convincing the world they exist... After many years of nonsensical definitions, circular arguments and moving goalposts, it's obvious that The Trans Umbrella is broad and ill-defined that it's meaningless... and harmful.

@SVPhillimore If trans-identifying men really knew what it was like to be a woman, they'd know many of us have learned to be polite around unstable/insecure men lest we provoke violence. They don't know that. Cos they're not women.

@FondOfBeetles @AndrewGold_ok This is always the Catch-22 for trans campaigners. Either trans people are inherently more predatory and therefore offend at a higher rate, or criminal men are pretending to be trans to get into women's prisons. Neither scenario supports self-ID.

@CrunchAlias They are terrified of being ostracised. Of being 'wrong'. Lefty middle classes especially value social status above all. Their lives are built on it. 10 years ago our opinion would have got them approval. Now it would get them cancelled. So it must go.

@colwight Their entire philosophy is based on post-modernism (there is no truth) and critical theories (empiricism is oppression). Of course they can't do science right. They fundamentally oppose it. That's why it's been so galling to see them bastardise it then wear it as a badge.

@SVPhillimore This is the only rights movement that gets less support the more people learn about it. There are lots of reasons for that, but a big one is that TRAs aren't 'just trying to live their lives'. They're trying to control. People *are* broadly kind. They're just not doormats.

@ForWomenScot @DrJaninaRamirez It's extreme post-modernism. No shared truth, just 'my truth'. No empiricism, just 'lived experience'. It's the most atomising, divisive, ineffective way to organise a society - which is why proponents have to spend all their time telling everyone how inclusive and kind they are.

@SueLaran @TwisterFilm It's not forthright. It's full of ill-defined terms and winking innuendo. It may as well have started "Twas brillig and the slithy toves..." The meaning appears to have been contained in the act, not the content.

@helenrclarkson @JayMitchinson It's not loving to incarcerate women with rapists. It's not loving to medicalise kids with autism, a history of ED/CSA or closeted same-sex attraction. It's not loving to tell rape survivors to 'reframe their trauma'. Your use of the word 'loving' here is pure manipulation.

@DanniBrener I've asked this of TRAs before. I just got "I'm not going to tell you because you'll just call me a transmaiden". Which I think translates into Rational Speak as "I haven't got any answer cos I'm an empty vessel, just going about my day making the most noise possible."

@andrewdoyle_com It's akin to religious belief, but really it's the natural outcome of taking post-modernism and critical theories out of esoteric academia and trying to run the world according to them. They are useful only as a lens, not an organising principle. That way lies madness. Qed.

@salltweets Well done for fighting. You must be exhausted but I'm inspired by your determination and I hope the Aussie courts come good. Giggle FTW

@akuareindorf @bphillipsonMP There's a simple test for these people. "Would you be doing this if universities taught wall-to-wall conservative thinking? Or would you suddenly be all for pluralism?" If the latter, you are an authoritarian zealot and you shouldn't be anywhere near power.

@TheFamousArtBR The left has bet the farm on claiming that anything but total obeisance to a radical left agenda is 'right wing'. That bet is going to fail because it's too controlling. They're like abusers who keep punching then saying "What? You don't love me? But I beat you so righteously!"

@prfctnparis @K22Eloise @AlisonThisTime1 @helenstaniland @JackInngolf Brow, eyes, jaw, shoulders - male. Usually also height, hips, feet size, hands and voice. Privileged men who've spent a lot on plastic surgery aren't women.

@FraserDAnderson The only reason it exists is because some people have a serious white saviour / noble savage view of the world. They are useful idiots for Islamists. Multiple leaders in the ME have now warned that the West is weak on Islamism where they've worked hard to shut it down. They

@BBCNews Pic is what she retweeted. And this is what she said: "I retweeted something and I un-retweeted it as soon as I realised* but that obviously stays on people's timeline for a while." *realised what? That she'd instinctively celebrated a violent pogrom?

@GSpellchecker Letting a mob of fascist thugs get so out of hand that a teacher had to go into hiding. I saw no convictions or night courts for that. They just let 'blasphemy laws by the back door' be installed. Not solving a single burglary in I think 3 years? But putting out red alerts when

@RobBacs23 @AbsMcFabs @BBCNews I'm genuinely sorry your step-child is suffering with poor mental health. I'm afraid women giving up all their boundaries and rights is not the cure for it.

@ThatAlexWoman Just in absolute fairness here - @hannahsbee hasn't 'screamed for trans activism'. She's been at the forefront of investigating the both the Tavistock and the wider state of 'gender' medicine in the UK. Her balanced and measured approach has helped to move mountains there. I
