I've noticed on Twitter there seems to be a really hardcore, vast, organised army of bigots (is TERF the right/appropriate term?) sporting tags like 'Gender Critical' and 'Women's Rights' etc who are absolutely hell bent on shouting transphobic bollocks and hounding anyone and everyone who dares oppose their viewpoint. Apparently anyone who supports trans rights is automatically a misogynist, and all sorts of rotten shite.
I just don't get it. Whether you agree somebody can change sex or not, what possible difference does it make to anybody?
The only argument I've ever seen that makes even a tiny bit of sense is over "men" in public toilets. I get why women would fear a man attacking them in the toilets. But there's a zero percent chance that a rapist would think twice just because TERFs ban transwomen from having a piss?
It's maddening that they can't see what bigots they are.
