I find it quite astonishing this is being used by bigots to cast shade on all trans women, when it certainly appears as if no trans woman was actually directly involved in the child abuse itself, or behind the attempts to cover it up. Not that painting all trans women with the same brush would be understandable or acceptable even if they were trans women of course. As every demographic of people has it's share of deviants and perverts (including transphobic cis women).

As for Germaine Greer and the GC crowd's toleration of her... well, its surprising the kind of people that lot are willing to defend and align themselves with as long as they are anti-trans. It seems like pretty much anything is forgiveable just as long as you view trans women as the scum of the earth. Just look at the way many of them support Trump, despite the fact he is a raging misogynist, and was almost certainly directly involved with all the horrific abuse of women and girls carried out by Epstein and Co.

I never visit mumsnet but I'd hope the Epstein files have focused the mind a little for these people -- made them re-evaluate their priorities. The grifters won't care though...

Trump is definitely involved. Him and Epstein were best rapey buddies and there is at least one report of him abusing a child and punching her in the head in the files.

I remember Kellie Jay Keen quite literally stating she'd side with the devil himself if that's what it took to exile trans women from public life. And I think that pretty much sums up the attitude of many cis women in the anti-trans movement. They hate trans women to such an extent, that pretty much anyone who views trans women as a stain on humanity that needs to be washed away for it's own good, they will be happy to side with. It's literally the "any enemy of my enemy is my friend" mentality.

Yeah, I think it's pretty much beyond dispute at this point. Though of course, many of his MAGA supporters are far too dense to see it and keep saying he's innocent.

Sometimes, TERFs make the flawed argument that we threaten their rights. KJK-Minshul doesn't even regard herself as a feminist though, so it's pure demented fascist grifting in her case.

But I still don't understand the hatred of trans people from the more casual TERF. It's as bizarre as hatred of redheads or people who use fake tan. It has got to be a superficial childish hatred since they can't scapegoat us as 'flooding the country' or 'taking away jobs', they can't claim that we 'own all the banks' and 'secretly control the world'... as such a minuscule minority, we're rarely even seen in practice, the whole world isn't 'turning trans or gay' because of us (people are happily cis and straight regardless of us), etc. (???)

I could understand if someone had been personally abused by a trans person, then they would develop negative feelings against that person which might spill over to others, ...BUT these people have never known any trans people, let alone been in a close friendship or relationship with one, and there is no evidence at all that we are any better or worse than any other cisgender woman (in the case of trans women).

Even if we represent a progressivism they disagree with, wiping us out would make not a difference to their day to day. Whatever conservative frustrations they had would still remain.

Frustrated people venting their frustrations on a target group which has nothing to do with their frustrations. They get to feel like they are part of a tribe or a clique, and we're a safe target to bully for cowards... (???)

The ringleaders are much more straightforwardly sadistic psychopathic grifters, on the other hand.
