We don't hate "trannies". We're worried about women's rights and our rights and transgender'rights directly conflict with each other. Were against the definition that woman is anyone who identifies as such. Women are adult human females. Full stop.

That... makes sense. Like a lot of sense. Thanks for clarifying what being gender critical is about, clearly I was misinformed.

No worries! :) if you want detailed answers AND the comparison between gender critical and TRA (Transgender Rights Activists) ideology feel free to check the post: "The Peakening - Read this if you are new to the Gender Critical (GC) Feminism". That post is the first on the popular ones. It has the definition of woman, sex, gender dysphoria, etc etc etc.

No one hates TIMS. Well, they shouldn't.

But gender critical women are against what TIMS believe because for as long as women existed, being a woman meant you had to be feminine. And a lot of us don't want to be feminine, and fought for decades to be accepted with what would be considered traditionally masculine behavior.

And just when we were on the cusp of getting rid of those old stupid stereotypes, TIMS came around and said "I like to be feminine, therefore I am LITERALLY a woman." It's offensive to all women that are not feminine, and don't want to be feminine. It doesn't understand in the slightest what being a woman actually entails - and reduces us to a dress and a pretty face.

And that's not even getting in to giving children hormones, or perform double mastectomies on 14 year old girls, and letting 6'5" men play contact sports against women, or pressuring gay men and lesbian women to have sex with people they don't want to have sex with, or letting men in women's prisons where they're raping women.

The whole thing is a shit show.
