RE: I'm Done With Reasoning and Explaining To People

( shewolfoffrance )
After the recent decision about TiMs in women's chess, I don't even care about justifying female-only spaces anymore. We should have female-only spaces because we want them. End of story.

Yeah I had to block a friend of two years who claims to be a moderate on this and is seeing all the harms of trans ideology, agrees that it's caused a lot of harm, yet still chooses to believe in it. I tried to get her to see that it's the core belief that's the problem, wrote multiple essay-long texts, even went into the origins of gender ideology. Yet she still claimed she chooses to believe it because she wants to be "compassionate." It eventually got to a point where she basically admitted that she believes in it because she "wants to have a comfortable life" which is just selfishness, not compassion. She also knows I'm a victim of men in women's spaces, and yet, when I repeated my story to her and tried to relay why I felt dehumanized, she just doubled down and didn't seem to really sympathize. So I just blocked without a word.

Justifying and explaining only gives them a chance to come up with another bogus excuse or rationale. Explaining is a trap. It is an exercise in futility. There is nothing that a man loves more than pontificating.

We want women-only spaces because we are women and men aren’t women.

Period. End of sentence.

Thank you for sharing; your words are powerful.

I understand the frustration of constantly having to repeat such points. This is why I made kindrad.org — I was tired of seeing women have to constantly rehash how the trans movement is harmful to humanity, especially to womankind.
