Nazis weren't the only movement to call for death on their opponents. Communists for example; whom the trans ideologues probably would't mind being compared to.

Anyway, falling into whataboutwhatabout isn't really needed, the claim that Posie is friends with Nazis is a weak assertion to begin with.

i don't know why the trans activists have to attach some other slur to their argument, like and they are a nazi .... To me, it's because they have nothing to prove their point in the first place

Those who have no arguments are left with insults and/or attempts to discredit opposing arguments. TERF is effectively both.

It's like AOC, there was a parody twitter account made of her saying deliberately bonkers and "extreme" things, and several of the tweets gained traction because they were convincing

Just for clarity, this is absolutely legit, this is from their actual website :

Toxic masculinity by its definition is poisonous. The interesting thing is, people who widely use the words ‘toxic masculinity’ are certain types of feminists and within the some LGBT communities.
The more radical sections of LGBT see sayings like ‘boys will be boys’ as a cultural crime. There’s no doubt that the undermining of men/boys for having the confidence to be men/boys, is a growing phenomenon.
It feels like we are going through a sexual revolution, and I believe this revolution could be harmful and certainly confusing for our children.
Drag Queen story time certainly hasn't done the LGBT's any favors.

Tbf man hating (which does feel like it's grown over the last few years) is imo more than any issues that anyone has with the LGBT community.

Imo I feel like Twitter for example has encouraged people to openly express man hating like it's a badge of honour.

But then Twitter's also the site that doesn't do anything about racism unless it's towards a Footballer, so they basically have minimal standards.

Twitter has hating going on to all demographics depending where you look. Horrible place

Every time someone (unironically) uses the phrase "toxic masculinity", there's at least one person who doesn't understand that the user isn't (necessarily) calling all masculinity toxic, but referring only to the type of masculinity which is toxic ... but if something has to be explained every time, it's not an effective use of words.

I actually disagree on that one, I don't think there's anything wrong with the phrase toxic masculinity when used as intended, I think the meaning is clear when used as intended, and I frankly think that 99% of the time when people feign offense and act like they believe it's saying "masculinity is toxic" they are being disingenuous for effect. "Playing dumb".

This is especially evident when it's been explained ten times over that "toxic" is being used as a category and not a universal descriptor, but those fighting the other line continue to pretend not to understand the difference.

I genuinely struggle to understand why people do it, because all it does is make them look thick as **** .

Hating trans people so much that it makes you harass children and their parents and sports events.

Nothing says ‘protect the kids’ quite like grown adults demanding the invasion of their privacy and decency when they win races.

Unfortunately this is the paranoia that's bred from allowing such unfairness in women's and girls sports in the first place. Obviously no child should be "examined" that's disgusting but because of all this un-clarity around women & girls sports maybe children should have to bring their birth certificates for races

[Liam-]

Justifying the harassment of children and their parents really isn’t a good look, but if that’s the hill you want to die on, good for you I guess.

But yes, let’s stick more unreasonable, unnecessary rules onto children who want to take part in sports because adults don’t like trans people and their inclusion in society, that seems like the only logical and reasonable reaction.

Yeah **** girls and their achievements and ambitions eh Liam? Trans kids can still participate in sports in the correct biological sex......you know - the whole reason for Sport segregation in the first place..........

It didn't seem like Niamh was defending those individuals' actions, but saying they're the result of boys being allowed to compete with girls in the first place.

Liam knows that perfectly well Oliver, accusing me of hating children is a much better read though eh?
