    Stonewall really are an unpleasant bunch - reminds one of a hardline trade union - though they were militant even when it was LGB rather than LGBT so we can't blame trans people for Stonewall.
    You'll note that some of the founders of Stonewall consider the organisation now to be beyond the pale.

    Yes, I think a good many TSs, too many even if not all, are obnoxiously censorious and defensive.

    They do say nobody is as zealous as the newly converted, whether that's religion, a Californian moving to Idaho then ranting about how many out of staters are moving in, or an ex-smoker. Maybe the same applies here.

    I've no problem with trans people. All the ones I've met have seemed to be fairly decent people, and don't take offence if I use the "wrong" pronoun when they know you're trying to be courteous. I'm not anti trans. I'm anti-transactivists. Just a bunch of men telling women what to do. Typical misogynists. Make the worst of CUK look like gentlemen.

    This whole thing was in reference to the fact they removed separate male/female categories, so was in support of that... how you read it as anti-trans is just daft. Good free publicity I suppose.

    Interesting point on one of the twitter replies 'and it shows they know “trans women” aren’t women at all.'

    So trans women want to be seen as a woman but when they are and say they are proud to be a woman they'll get cancelled as well?

    Interesting twist.

    “Whаt’s аbsurd is thаt you’re picking аnd choosing Adele’s words аbout herself to the point of аbsurdity.” Why cаn trаns people choose from hundreds of lаbels аnd be proud of themselves, but we women cаn’t? One Twitter user sаid, “Double stаndаrds.” “According to trаns rights аctivists, Adele murdered millions of trаns men аnd women tonight by referring to herself аs а Womаn аnd Femаle without mentioning them. Trаns rights аre no longer аvаilаble. Another wrote, “You won’t be missed…”
