Can you imagine going back in time and telling activists that in the future piv sex will be considered gay by certain people? That women will be told that they “aren’t real lesbians” for refusing to have sex with males? That gay men will be called bigots for refusing to date females? That “gay” people will shame homosexuals for their same sex attraction?

Can you imagine going all the way back to the time of the suffragettes and telling them that some day men will put on dresses and declare themselves the most oppressed women of all? That in the future these men will be able to threaten women with murder and rape with no repercussions, but that women will be ostracized and fired from their jobs for acknowledging biological reality? That these men will steal scholarships and resources made for women and people will call it progressive?

Can you fucking imagine?

And then the suffragette she picked takes off her wig and says, 'We go public? COOL!'

What if you go back to 1982 and tell some feminists that in 40 years, Roe v Wade will be overturned?

As there were men who supported them then, nay, protested alongside Pankhurst & co, they would say just one word about now:

Good.

I can imagine going back in time and lying to people. Not sure why you'd want to do that though... Personally, I'd probably tell them to do something about the Nazis before it gets too serious. Or maybe see if I could prevent covid from becoming a pandemic.

But does this really happen? Or is it more TERF slander?

Considering what religious right did in 80s and 90s yes. Ironically TERFs now reiterate the same rhetoric towards teans people while keeping the F. Though I'm sure that'll fall off

A lot of Suffragettes were racist, classist, and homophobic. They were primarily interested in the needs and comfort of well-off white women, and if any of it incidentally benefited other women, it barely mattered so long as those women otherwise stayed in their place. Not every suffragette, of course, and there were some lower-class women in the movement (though lower-class women were more often involved in the labor movement instead), but enough of them were that I don’t especially care what the typical one might have thought about any of today’s civil rights struggles. It’s what-if mental masturbation which is not particularly relevant to today’s issues.

In your mental universe, a woman's vote counts for two, therefore if a transwoman votes... oh no it's not even this false premise, just your obsession with a fetish that isn't about transpeople. You're even advancing strange conspiracy theories of being forced to have sex with people against your will, which would be a violation of consensual sex, also not what transpeople are about. So the issue is your own persecution complex, not that of anyone else, making you promote misrepresentation and bigotry about other people instead of letting them live their lives.

Well, I'm sure that must have worked out well, and without any terrible and/or horrific unforseen consequences, right?

Might want to read up on history.

In that fictitious scenario? Spoiler alert: it didn't work. :)
