This dark narcissism is beyond insane and I think, could have far reaching consequences.
The real fight as you will notice is the degradation of Judeo-Christian values of western society.
I can't think for the life of me, why Conservatives and others who have been putting up with this crap for so long...
Now you can get arrested for just talking, crazy #ing times.
Thanks for pointing out the hatred that fills the confused men who dress like women. Like holy water to a vampire so is truth to LGBTQQABCDEFG.

You're welcome -- Just note that this hate and violence is NOT typical of ALL men who identify as women.
Just among the autogynephiles (and not even all autogynephiles). But the anger and narcissistic rage is found among just the heterosexual men who are sexually aroused at the thought of being a woman, of dressing in women's clothes, of being treated like a woman...
As for violence, we have to look at the root causes and that's not hard to do just looking at Stephanie's twitter feed.
Stephanie Hayden, who is also suing Mumsnet and recently sued a transsexual solicitor, now identifies as a lawyer. But in 1999, when Hayden was a 28-year-old man known as Anthony Halliday, Halliday was charged with assault and affray.

No. Everyone is responsible for their own actions, and reactions. You can't blame Twitter for anyone's violence. Indeed, if one can't handle Twitter, then log out and walk away and never return. There are no Tweets that can justify violence.
Nor can you blame Twitter for the violence this person committed in 1999:

You aren't doing anyone any favors by misplacing the blame and the responsibility for this violence. Especially not the violent ones themselves, who desperately need help. Real help. Not silly pronouns. Not dresses. Not breasts. All of that is petty and superficial nonsense. They have very serious differential and secondary diagnoses of mental/emotional illnesses which need to be addressed. Among them, autogynephilia, and narcissistic rage. And quite likely some biological disorders as well. These are not happy and healthy people. And their problems come from within themselves. Not outside.
Nor are you doing any favors for the transsexuals who are also bullied and abused by the autogynephiles. The transsexuals are very different people, with very different issues, and very different needs.
If these people want to fool themselves...I don't care one bit.
But don't tell me to repeat lies and falsehoods under the threat of jail or violence.
Where I am concerned is those who believe otherwise and by doing so, don't even consider a more deep-rooted mental problem that may be correctable. That is a shame and we know it happens...sometimes.

So what happens when some heterosexual male finds out that his wife wasn't born female? Is he allowed to divorce her on those grounds?

Let me just preface this by saying that everyone spewing abuse at Hayden -- or anyone -- is likewise responsible for their own actions as well, and they're just as big a problem as the abusive Trans Activists. Even threats of violence are never acceptable. Period.
However, saying that a man is not a woman is not abusive. Using male pronouns for a man is not abusive. Citing actual facts like the person's former names and previous crimes is not abusive. At worst, it's not nice. It certainly does not warrant silencing anyone. And it most definitely does not warrant criminal -- or even civil -- charges and prosecution. The punishment does not fit the "crime," and would (in my opinion) constitute cruel and unusual punishment here.
It does, however, demand further attention to the underlying issues and disorders that would explain the extreme authoritarianism and need to harm and punish the perceived offenders. Which, of course, would also address the violent tendencies of so many. And, quite probably, also address the issues causing/contributing to their gender euphoria.
By the way, how do the people looking at a transgender woman know that she is still a man?

Um... is this a trick question?
In regards to how one might know a man identifies as a woman, there is no one answer to that, but varies with the persons and circumstances... including those times when the transgender person has already stated it to be so.
Regarding the "still a man" part, once one does know, it's simply a matter of long established definitions of which body is "male." Long before we knew about chromosomes and hormones and "laydee brains." If he was born with male anatomy and male reproductive system, then he is a man and always will be. And do note that this is being said by many many transsexuals as well, both those who have de-transitioned and those who have not.
And regarding the "laydee brain," even those medical studies that indicates some correlation between female brains and male brains only noted those distinctions in homosexual male brains -- both homosexuals who identified as transgender and those who don't. And, in fact, if I remember correctly, the same study also noted that the brains of heterosexual men who identify as transgender (autogynephiles) actually had MORE PRONOUNCED male traits than heterosexual men who do not identify as transgender. Given the nature of the beast, it's not surprising that excess testosterone has been linked to autogynephilia. It would seem to me that these men would be much better served by treating their testosterone problems.
From what I have been reading, transgender medical costs aren't covered by many employer plans.
So how are they to be better served when society can't catch up with their meeting their needs?
I am not sure if that is another trick question for you.
