BBC Woman's Hour warns listeners that 3 women's rights groups "are groups that some people have described...as transphobic”." The BBC thinks we need to be warned that some people think that women's rights are transphobic-you might want to stay away from those nasty women transphobes...

It led me to this tweet, and she has others showing "masslighting" in a sentence!

‘Masslighting’

It’s the gaslighting of women en masse about their biology, experiences and oppression by constantly telling them it’s not real or that they are bigots for talking about it.

What’s going on is really no different than when women were called “hysterical.”

The BBC has been anti women TRAs for a while now.

A much higher than normal % of the BBC staff identifies as transgender. I am not making this up, it was from a reputable source.

I thought these people preach EQUITY. If trans is less than 0.6% of the population, shouldn’t we be saying that it’s bad when trans is over represented in our institutions?

I don't know about the UK, but in the US, the US Center for Disease Control (don't know how to describe it but kind of the government health research institution) released a study last year that claimed that almost 2% of US high school students now identify as transgender. So there's that.

But the bottom line is that the gender lobby oozes with hypocrites, however, given that Trans, Inc., is actually a Men's Demands Movement, that's not too surprising to me.

When patterns like that start showing up in women's rights groups, maybe stop and ask why rather than calling all the women who are a part of them "transphobes." Maybe women's rights groups know better about women's rights than TRAs.
