Saw an article thats caused quite a stir on mumsnets feminist boards, read it myself and was pretty shocked with what was being said, wondering what your thoughts are?

Made my blood boil reading that I couldn’t finish it. Just the same old
tit about how women should make way for transwomen yet again.
Who the
duck do they think was fighting for women back before we had women’s shelters and charities? Back when marital rape was legal? (1991 in the UK if I remember rightly) It certainly wasn’t transwomen but it was definitely women. What exactly have transwomen done for women in history? A big
duck all as far as I can tell and yet they expect us to fight for them. I am SO SICK of trans people expecting women to get involved and fight their battles. NO. We have our own battles thanks.
You cannot be born a man and then ‘transition’ to a woman and expect to be allowed into womens rape refuges. If you want to feel safe from domestic violence then make your own god damn shelters Instead of colonising ours, you entitled fuckwits.
I also don’t buy the stats no way are they that low for women. It was reported a couple of weeks ago on the local radio station that in my area they had been having an average of 6 domestic violence related 999 calls a day since lockdown began. Guarantee most of not all of those involve women being abused by men. Transwomen are constantly trying to piggy back off of the hardships of women and make them their own.
duck OFF.
