Like those described in the article above, this is very much a middle-class movement whose proponents have seized the opportunity to sneer at working-class people as bigoted, stupid and reactionary.
Tell that to the trans people I've met who were physically beaten and mentally abused by authoritarian parents, unable to move out or find secure housing due to burnout, mental health disabilities, and a lack of aid or sustainable jobs, in both Western and third-world countries.
According to the article, I rightly choose not to believe they exist because they are inconvenient and I am too busy working to accept such an inconvenience.
At least it was easy to see you had no interest to present factual arguments and just regurgitated what you read online. For somebody asking empathy about your childhood, you seem to give very little to others.
My empathy is with women who are being forced to give up their female-only spaces, where they are the most vulnerable, to include men who demand to be there too. It's unacceptable regardless of if these men had difficult childhoods or not. I wouldn't do it, most other men wouldn't either, so neither should they.

This is incredibly ignorant view which does not understand the trauma someone can endure when not being allowed or experience not only discrimination, but physical abuse and threats for being who he or she feels is.
I wonder if people said the same thing when screaming for equal rights or other things related to racism and homophobia. That it is only opportunity to sneer at working-class people as bigoted, stupid and reactionary.
The approach might not always be the best, but at the end people want others to be what they really are, no one is screaming to shot or lynch anyone.
The working class jobs are the most unionized ones. The unions also started with actual battles (wikipedia has examples since US history class often does not), from people with traditional values. I think the division is much more harmful that than you think.
Sorry, I am not entirely sure what you are trying to say...
Unions are type of collective fight in form of strikes and bargaining, against exploitation and are the main tool within the class war. Actual battles happened because the ruling class tries to prevent or forbid them. At the end it is a question of profit splitting not a question of pure existence for whom you are. I would go as far as to say one is the example of class war and the other is an example of fight against fascism.
What are you trying to say? I can also cherry-pick one of numerous alt right people storming cities with guns and assault rifles, calling for violence.
The man in that video spent 30 years in prison for kidnap, torture, rape and attempted murder, and is threatening violence to women now he's been released.
He's says he's a woman. Would you find it acceptable for him to use a women's refuge, be incarcerated in a women's prison, undress himself in a women's changing room, and so on, based on his self-declaration of womanhood? If yes, then you'd be indulging in a luxury belief.
> Yes, class domination has had a makeover. It wears bad wigs and stilettos now
Jesus Christ that’s bad, and it’s right up front in this article. Really makes it obvious the kind of audience this is written for.
There’s really only a particular kind of person that thinks it’s funny to tease trans people who don’t pass.
> Civil servants who surely have better things to do are being given LGBTQ+ education and shown training videos about how sinful it is to stop a ‘transwoman’ – ie, a fella – from using the women’s loo.
Wow it just keeps going, it rolls straight into proudly misgendering trans people, wow wow wow.
And you actually want other people to associate this kind of bullshit with you? You recommend it, you link directly to it? For shame.
