You could have focussed on anti-discrimination. You could have focussed on resources. You could have campaigned for services that you needed. You could have paid for research into medical treatment and the best outcomes.
Yes. And, you know, we actually did.
Instead you tried to erase sex,
Nope. Pointing out that your understanding of sex is actually wrong isn't the same as erasing it.
force your way into women's spaces
Trying to make sure trans women get to use women's spaces. That's part of the fighting against discrimination that you wanted us to do. And don't forget we're also forcing our way into men's spaces. But, yeah, I know, who cares about trans men, right? They weren't born with icky penises!
take our language,
That's right! No more English for you! From now on, you may only speak Latin, Esperanto, or Klingon!
take our political movement,
We took your political movement? There are plenty of cisgender women who are opposed to transphobia. Are you sure you're not trying to take their political movement?
destroy our political analysis,
As if women have only one political analysis? Even under the umbrella of feminism, there are lots of ways of analyzing politics. But, yeah, we destroy TERF analysis. But that's only because it's wrong and dumb.
demonise us, silence us, intimidate us,
Oh please. You transphobic jerks are the ones doing all the demonizing, silencing, and intimidation. Trans people are just trying to defend ourselves and live our lives in peace.
and medicalise children without a proper evidence base.
Medicalizing children, by providing necessary medical care for medical condition. A medical condition for which there is ample evidence. You just won't acknowledge any that contradicts your ideology.
And you banked your entire political strategy on the thought that women were too busy, too stupid, too compliant, too powerless, and too despised by this society to do anything to stop you.
Actually, we'd really just like to convince you to accept trans people's gender identities. Doing that doesn't mean giving up any of your rights or suffering any real harm, so I don't know why you should even want to stop us.
Yeah, I guess it would probably have been more politically acceptable to just shut up and let society keep shitting on us forever, but you know what? Fuck that shit.
Big. Fucking. Mistake.
A mistake? As if there were any other choice. I can't live in the world you want me to live in, so I will fight that world until my dying day. Thankfully, I know you don't speak for all cisgender women. The world is slowly but surely moving on without you.
