Me too.

I'm want them to publicly admit what they did any why.

Might I suggest the good old trusty guillotine?

What would they go to jail for? What would be the laws they ran afoul of?

They will say that most TRAs were women. Which is true, but an adult politician does not have to listen to an internet mob, and we all know that the most vocal voices in the UK (at least) are male, from Owen Jones to Pink News editors. All. Men.

Male or female, the diehard TRAs aren't mentally stable or self aware enough to understand and learn from their mistakes. They'll likely just find another way to make themselves out to be the victims all along because they will always be seeking that validation first and foremost.

There is hope that the people who were strung along because they were trying to be decent and good will realize though and have enough of a conscience to acknowledge what they'd participated in and allowed.

But likely people who are that self-aware are already keeping the trans movement at an arms length, and will have put enough distance between themselves and TRAs to blame radfems anyway. Like the American voters who like to abstain from voting for any party to maintain their own political purity, people like to misconstrue apathy as virtue.

Sometimes radical feminists seem to forget that everyone hates us. Liberals or Conservatives, female liberation threatens to dismantle either side's version of patriarchy. You're right that we will continue to be reviled even when TRAs are revealed in the mainstream to be the predators and abusers they are.

Perhaps it would be best to create a large collection of resources for women to see. I do like the idea of QR codes in public.

Reminds me of when feminists were warning about women's situation in Afghanistan and then, when Republicans wanted to go to war four years later, it was "let's liberate Afghan women! Where were the feminists on this issue?" Oh I dunno... literally the only people fucking talking about it???

Omg, I fell into a Joe Rogan video hole yesterday after watching some of his more "gender critical" clips, and was absolutely incensed watching his interview with Ben Shapiro regarding transgender issues. The arguments in favor of genderism have given right wing assholes like Shapiro so much ammo against actual progressive movements like feminism and gay rights. The male corruption of feminism into the libfem "feminism is for everyone" has honestly helped bolster the right, and it's fucking infuriating for actual leftists!!!

He was using arguments like, "Well, this is what feminists brought on themselves, saying that women can do anything men can do, hur hur hurrr!" when the topic of TIMs in women's sports was brought up. This was the interview where he also famously said (in relation to Bruce Jenner winning some "Woman of the Year" award), "Look at how it proves men are better than women! Even when we have only been women for a few months, we are better at being women than women are!" (Note: these are not actual, word-for-word quotes, just my best summary without having to go back and listen to him again.)

Gender ideology fits perfectly into the arguments of the right wing, because it is also a regressive ideology.

I've seen that too, and it disturbs the hell out of me, but we need to be vigilant and prepare for that. The majority of us were caught completely off-guard by the gender id movement, and I feel like we need to continually be thinking about the future and not allow ourselves to be blindsided like that again.

Yes, I’ve heard this one too coming from the type of MRA dipshits who think they should be able to hit women because “that’s equality”. I hear similar logic coming from transwomen all the time, except they believe that pronouns and hormones magically erase all sex differences and there’s no real difference between a punch from a 200 pound man or a 200 pound woman. That, and because they call themselves women they can assault any woman they don’t like.

Naturally liberal feminists in all their cluelessness think they’re supporting equality by erasing the distinctions between men and women that DO matter (physical) and embracing the made up ones that don’t matter at all (gender stereotypes). That’s how we have arrived in a batshit insane clown world where men can compete in women’s sports, but girls who don’t like dresses or makeup are no longer considered female.

This is why I was so grateful to find radical feminism. It isn’t focused on vague, subjective notions of equality but on liberating women from male violence and control, which by definition requires understanding how the physical differences between men and women contribute to oppression.

That's one of many symptoms that we don't have a good handle on language. "Equal" does NOT mean "the same as," but occasionally you still see people on "our side" implying that it does. That and some of us keep saying over and over to stop saying "gender" when you mean "sex" but there are STILL radfems and GCs making that mistake. Please stop. They win the language battle long before they win the rest of the war.

[edit] Before someone asks: "Equal" means "having the same value."

Five pennies are not the same as a nickel but, like a nickel, they're also worth five cents.

I see that one all the time, men blaming feminism for this.

Definitely. Bless the women who have been archiving everything for several years at this point. If anyone refuses to believe we were right all along, at least it won’t be because of a lack of evidence.

I fear the kids who are currently TRAs will become everything they currently accuse 'terfs' of being, but with TRAs' penchant for censorship, harassment and violence. Think of every ignorant kneejerk reaction you've ever seen in a TRA space and add it to every ignorant kneejerk reaction you've ever seen in a GC space. And somehow they'll find a way to always go after women.
