The trans movement borrows from many social justice movements. The complaint that they just need to be 'heard' and are 'being shut down' is taken straight from feminism's playbook. I heard the 'women are being silenced' BS so much from the Medium Misandrist Mavens that I wrote an article about how women who can't shut up about how oppressed they feel are always going on about how they aren't 'heard'. Maybe they're just being shut out by people who are tired of hearing the same-old same-old.

There is no group less unheard than the trans movement. In fact, they're way better at feminists at being heard because no one's going to stop a man from saying his piece, whereas women are easier to intimidate. Many women still are unheard, but the ones who are heard the most are the ones who complain the loudest.

It's bullshit that either women or transwomen are not being 'heard'. What they *mean* is that they're not being persuasive.
