I'm just going to speak my mind as a Closeted transwoman who would look like a guy

I didn't honestly want to get involved with this thread at all in fear of creating an absolute mess

But being trans myself I see myself having empathy for both woman's and men's rights because I know and understand the issues men are facing and see the issues woman are facing

I don't like seeing the devide on either side and absolutely hate seeing the division and fighting especially when people advocate for men's rights or woman's rights

I personally advocate for both because I see everyone having rights as part of equality and equity and if you don't want any one group to have rights then that isn't equality or equity

We should be free to talk about both men's rights and woman's rights without being attacked for it

YES!

As a person who is just genuinely against all discrimination, including discrimination of women and men, I never quite understood why is this divide so powerful.

We'll do our best if we work together, not compete for attention. Women face real issues. Men face real issues. Many of them play out of each other, and solving one would help untangle the other.

All while people will seemingly rip you apart for saying we could work together.

No, I don't want to play the tug of war or steal the attention from the problem of "your side". I just see how those issues intertwine, and working with both is paramount if we actually want to solve them. Let's do that instead of whatever mess has been created.
