Man (useless centrist in this case) talks over women part 478563487531.
Found this particularly illuminating: “He will also be campaigning for greater access to PrEP, the HIV prevention medication, which in England and Wales is currently only being given to a trial group of 12,000 people, rather than a full roll-out. “People said, ‘Why should we fund it?’ But you fund the [contraceptive] pill.”
Do people who oppose women’s rights or are in favour is trans ‘rights’ over women’s rights have a place in Labour?
This is an obvious way to exile dissenting women from their ranks and anyone else who disagrees with the trans movement.

The thing is, regardless of your views on current trans ideology, you have to acknowledge that historically the only “women” who were oppressed for being women were females. The effects of that oppression last in the same way that the effects of racism last. But if, in say 2015, we altered the definition of “black people” to include white people who identified as black, and adjusted our discussions of/solutions to racism accordingly, we would no longer actually be addressing the existing effects of slavery and racism because we’d be including members of the historical oppressor class. That’s why transwomen shouldn’t be included in feminism or female safe spaces. Both exist to rectify historic and existing female oppression.

PantheaCon female-only spiritual rites infiltrated by transactivists Sex-specific events are no longer allowed at PantheaCon — not even
traditional rites based on exclusively female experiences such as
menstruation, which have always been deeply revered in many Pagan
traditions
Thistle Pettersen banned from the community radio station,
WORT 89.9 FM, AND she was also prevented from organizing a yearly
women-focused music & arts festival in Madison, WI due to
accusations of ‘transphobia’.

Cathy Brennan was stalked and harassed by a group of transactivists in Olympia for refusing to say that a homosexual male could also identify as a lesbian.
There are so many open threats of violence made against trans-critical people, particularly against lesbians and/or radical feminists, that I cannot list them all. So I’ll summarize instead:
WITHDRAWAL OF SUPPORT
Transactivists are known to threaten to withdraw support for
feminist causes/organizations if they fail to openly pledge allegiance
to transgender ideology. Many such organizations are in desperate need
of social support and funding, so they don’t have much of a choice
except to go along with what transactivists tell them to say.
The message is clear: “Your rights are important, but validating my beliefs is more important.”
One example:
SOCIAL MEDIA PHASE-OUTS
Ask ANY radical /gender critical/trans critical feminist, and they will
tell you: we get deleted, harassed, banned and blocked more than anyone.
Many of us have lost real-life friends over trans-critical Facebook
posts or even for asking questions. It seems that transactivists patrol
Facebook for the slightest hint of “transphobia” so they can pile-on and
virtue-signal what a Good Trans Ally they are.
Again, there are too many examples to post here, so here are just a few examples:
Transactivists on Tumblr often make lists of alleged “TERFs” and command
their followers not to engage with, or reblog anything from, people on
the lists. Some examples:
The “TERF hive” commands trans allies to censor, harass, report, block and otherwise shut down trans-critical sites:
DIE CIS SCUM
This is a popular slogan in transactivists circles. Transactivists argue
that their use of this slogan is okay because “they’re more oppressed
than cis people.” As you can see in the picture below, it’s a very
threatening slogan, especially when tattooed on the body of a male
holding a baseball bat.
#KILLALLTERFS
A favorite hashtag of transactivists. Many examples of these open threats of violence can be found on the following websites:
These major “feminist”/women’s websites will publish pro-transgender pieces but won’t publish “transphobic” (trans-critical, gender-critical or radical feminist) pieces:
Feministing, EverydayFeminism, Jezebel, xoJane, The Frisky, Bitch Media,
The Establishment, Refinery29, Bustle, Black Girl Dangerous…
Autostraddle even blatantly admits to being inclined to give trans*people more money for their writing (source)
Many trans-critical writers have had to resort to publishing on Right-wing websites just to have a platform, even though they do not sympathize, or want to associate, with the Right. (This is part of where the “radfems are conservative” stereotype comes from.)
