Fellow transperson here.

(Middle aged transwoman, to be more exact).

I'm sorry to say that, unsurprisingly, you've clearly not read the threads very well at all.

There is no dislike of the trans community, no transphobia. Just women trying to ensure that their rights aren't eroded or thrown aside in the favour of someone else's rights.

You and I may be people trying to live our lives but others aren't.

Look up autogynephiles, or Ian Huntley, for example.

Look into the damage an early transition (with hormone treatment) can do; including off label drugs that doctors are being sued over; and the organisations that claim to help people (mermaids for one) lying about this.

This isn't about hating transpeople it's about key disagreements, about self ID, the transitioning of under 18's, male sex offenders being put in women's prisons and raping them and impregnating them (this has happened) prolific serial killers trying to

Claim trans status for a "cushy" life.

This isn't about you and me,

This is about some very awful people who would hurt us just as much as our mothers and sisters (and in my case my daughters).

Being liberal and open minded is the automatic response; for me anyway. But sometimes if you're a bit too open minded your brain will fall out.
