Re: Feminist perspectives on Transgenderism (none / 1)

But it is important to remember that most are not like that.

Given I'm not allowed to attend RTN marches or join feminist groups cos I'm trans, that's actually hard to believe. After all, if they weren't anti-trans, I'd be allowed, wouldn't I.

Re: Feminist perspectives on Transgenderism (none / 0)

I meant most people - unfortunately that is not equivalent to most organised groups. For the life of me I really don't understand what the issue is for feminist groups that don't want trans women to join.

Re: Feminist perspectives on Transgenderism (none / 0)

I appreciate that it is hard to fathom, unless their considered view of the transgendered is "once a man, always a man". From which you must, at least, accept that my conclusion that a lot of feminists are, if not actively transphobic, happy to accomodate transphobic attitudes is reasonable, even if you yourself are not.
