*** OFFICIAL BREXIT SUNLIT UPLANDS and #MEGA THREAD ***

More accurately the subset that's trolling J.K. Rowling on twitter.

I consider myself a Twitter troll, and I've never sent anyone a death threat or tried to cancel anyone. A troll for me is simply someone who takes a conflicting position for the sake of argument. People who go out of their way to make other people feel bad, they're not trolls, they're cunts.

Meloni is playing it up like this is a core issue plaguing society today, when in reality, the few trans people you've met in your life, you probably didn't even notice they were trans.

Well it's an issue for a lot of women who feel their rights and spaces are being encroached by men, in an incredibly misogynistic way. Whether that's justified is open to debate, but that doesn't change the fact that it's a genuine issue for these women. And where there's an opportunity for politicians to play identity politics, they'll take it. idk how many women voted for Meloni based on her gender critical views, but I'll bet it's more than there are trans people in Italy.

And sure, I'm in no doubt that I've met trans people without even realising it. This isn't an issue for me. But I'm not a woman. I think it's bad form for men to be telling women how they should feel about this matter. Men don't have to worry about rape, voyeurism, and general misogyny. Women do, and that's the fault of men. So it doesn't surprise me that when a man puts a dress on, declares himself a woman, and then demands access to women's spaces and lesbian girlfriends, that it pisses women off.

I agree with all of this, apart from the idea of a trans woman "demanding" a lesbian girlfriend, as if the other person has no option to refuse.

But, the whole trans debate is an issue that is probably overblown compared to the number of people it affects. I reckon people will get bored with it in a couple more years and find something else to fight over.
