You appear to have an extremely "online" approach to this and it's worth considering what happens outside this space. Women aren't going to stop talking just because you've bullied them out of one thread, they'll just take the conversation offline and your reaction here will be one of the things that they show to their friends who have questions about exactly what's going on with this whole issue. When the next petition or public consultation comes up they will quietly add their name or write an email; when the next election comes up, they will vote. And the people who they write to or elect will look at their submissions among various pieces of evidence, including the undoubted reports of violent transphobia and the desire of trans women to compete in sports, and they will create new policies.
Channel 4 is showing a program this evening on this very topic. Many people will watch with interest, many will have questions, many will be unclear as to their own thoughts of what the best resolution is. What do you think will happen if they are shown this thread?

Yeah my posting is the problem, not the fact that trans people are being attacked in the streets and rejected by their own families because of the transphobia exhibited in this thread, got you.
I'm not going to kid that there is some kind of happy compromise to be had between a marginalised group and a right wing media fuelled hate machine bankrolled by Tufton Street.
