Elsewhere in his comment Taln says things like, I've seen gender-critical feminists saying this and doing that, supporting a conservative saying something, uh saying trans people should be deported or some such nonsense. You're not grasping Taln, that we are not a cult. We are individuals who can disagree on a whole range of things, but the one thing we do agree on is that sex is immutable and takes priority over subjective feelings in defining what we are. As for trans people being forced into spaces created for people of the other sex, that is another example of the framing intended to manipulate people into thinking they are victims of some great injustice. No we are not saying you should be forced to be anything or go anywhere. We are saying if you're male, keep out of our spaces. You don't belong there. Where you go instead is not our problem. Stop trying to turn us into your oppressors because we're not. You are the ones oppressing us.
Then I said
how can you be a feminist if you buy into gender ideology
and Taln said "by acknowledging that transphobia, homophobia and sexism are all interconnected and directly arising from the complex that is the patriarchal structure of society (in which you are complicit in upholding by spreading transphobic narratives based on patriarchal assumptions)" interconnected how? We get no argument in support of any of the three distinct claims I see made here, so I'm inclined to ignore it. I'm not a mind reader, but I would love to know what patriarchal assumptions he is referring to. That woman means adult human female and entitled to sex-based protections perhaps? "The transphobic narrative of the bathroom predator which is a myth" - blah blah blah - "only makes sense in the patriarchal image where women are the lower class therefore any 'man' taking on the role of a woman must be doing it out of some abusive motive" it's a myth is it? Tell that to the 10 year old girl and the 12 year old girl who were violated by this dude (note by Submitter: headline of this article https://metro.co.uk/2019/03/16/transgender-woman-18-sexually-assaulted-girl-10-morrisons-toilet-8914577/ displayed).
