You are, IMO, directing your anger at the wrong people.

I did however agree with the larger discussion about the kind of atmosphere that has been fostered in these types of threads. But that's a wider issue, and not one that can be narrowed down to a couple of mods.

My response was directly to a few phrases I read over multiple pages by Niamh. My own trans kid is a member on this site and saw what I was posting as we discussed it and conversed about it as it was happening... and if they are proud of their mother having their back.. that's all I need. I just am sickened by the turn this site has taken over the last few months.. propping up and patting the backs of those setting the anti-trans rhetoric.
