Opinion | The Secret Behind America’s Moral Panic: What Democrats Are Getting Wrong About Transgender Rights - The New York Times

( Researcher1536 )
The election gave people the breathing room to finally start speaking out and up about all this gender crap. People aren't afraid of being socially and financially sacked by expressing common sense facts. So much tongue biting and swallowing feelings occurred over the years. Now reality can hopefully return to the forefront, even if it's currently being drowned out by TRAs screeching about trans genocide and how trans is connected to abortion and women's rights.

( ArtemisCitrine )
I read this op-ed twice and still don't get how trans rights are reproductive rights, as she asserts.

Not to be mean, but butch lesbians who transition late in life always look to me....not very bright. A young confused lesbian....I'll cut her slack. But this person is supposed to be a major intellectual.

( camino_medio )
She's glomming onto a popular point among leftists (reproductive rights) and working her arguments in from there. Fairly standard for the pro-gender ideology side, but her writing and arguments on the subject have always been embarrassingly disjointed to the degree of being bizarre.

( dasehe )
tldr; she's arguing that all objections to trans rights boil down to a cultural anxiety to force women to keep churning out babies. Trans rights break that paradigm - some of her argument acknowledges the sterility issue but 90% of it is "look, Putin is all for traditional family values and he hates LGBT and this is true of Trump and Vance too, therefore these issues are clearly linked."

If trans rights break the cultural anxiety to force women to keep churning babies in half, then defense of trans rights is no less than defense of reproductive rights.

I can kind of see where this comes from because I know some academics still tying themselves in knots, but I just feel her analysis misses a lot of things.

( faerieclaire )
I don’t understand either, unless she’s saying that since adults have the right to sterilize themselves, children should have the same right??? Which, obviously, no they shouldn’t

RE: Crowd cheered as two transgender women were attacked at Minneapolis rail station, advocates say

( dasehe )

After overhearing a group making derogatory remarks toward them at the station at Hennepin Avenue and Fifth Street in downtown Minneapolis, the pair “confronted” the group, which led to a “physical altercation,” Minneapolis Police told The Independent in a statement.

They should not have been attacked, but I'm not really interested in giving energy or compassion to TIMs at the moment. It's a very male response though.

( Joedi )
The last thing actual women would do is confront a bunch of men who were making derogatory remarks towards them.

( Mandy )
So a bunch of men got into a fight.

( notapatsy )
Exactly. Male behavior on both sides. If the two "transwomen" were really women, there is no way they would have confronted a crowd of men.

( shewolfoffrance )
See, it's because of incidents like this that I don't think TiMs are really that scared of male violence. They're definitely more cautious about starting something with other men, but they aren't exactly quaking in their sparkly pink boots. They like provoking a reaction and, if anything, they're more aggressive than the average man.

( hard_headed_woman )
People who are being "genocided" don't start fights.

( Carrots90 )
This works against our cause. Figures men will F this up

I mean, let’s see what the real story is.

[...]

This is a trans activist wet dream. Finally some transphobia to activate the activists.

Demand has been way outstripping supply when it comes to violence against TIMs. They are overwhelmingly perpetuating it

( Lillith )
Oh, I don't know. Being kind hasn't won us anything useful. Maybe this will drive some of them indo hiding or discourage others from ever transitioning.

And if the hecklers get away with it, it may make ppl less fearful of letting gender specials know how they really feel about them.

( Elizabelch )
We don't need this witch-hunt bullshit any more than we need men in women's restrooms.

However, the TIMs certainly got the female experience there. They'll have to learn to handle this like women do: Read the situation and most of the time, choose to ignore instead of escalate.

( neonbandit )
Must be nice to have male bone density when being attacked too.

I was trying to explain the other day that gender woo is just as absurd and lacking in credibility as flat earth theory.

Because they think they won't be the one who would be effected by this shitty ideology.

Transgender women to be banned from Capitol Hill female bathrooms under new House GOP proposal

( babygrandpiano )
From another article on the topic:

'The cruelty is the point,' Democrat Rep. Becca Balint, a co-chair of the Equality Caucus, told Axios. 'This is not just bigotry, this is just plain bullying,' Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said.

What a shame that two congressWOMEN came to the defense of this male colleague. Let his male colleagues help him with his fight.

AOC and Becca Balint can just go into the men's rooms or the special trans bathrooms with their TIM BFFs. Problem solved!

There's only one transgender-identifying person in Congress, and that's a TIM named "Sarah" McBride. This is clearly directed at him, which is why AOC called it bullying lol.

McBride could be in a roomful of gop male senators using the toilet, and no one present would care.

Him being in the women’s means that gop women like mace would care.

"Big Brother" "Star" reports J.K. Rowling for "thoughtcrime"
So I just finished reading Orwell's 1984 and the irony can't be lost that a "Big Brother" "Star" has reported J.K. Rowling to the Thought Police.

So in the book, the children of the Party undergo "elaborate mental training" and in "Newspeak" terms, this involves "crimestop, blackwhite, and doublethink." Crimestop is where one realizes one is thinking a thoughtcrime and must censor oneself immediately.

The first and simplest stage in the discipline, which can be taught even to young children, is called, in Newspeak, crimestop. Crimestop means the faculty of stopping short, as though by instinct, at the threshold of any dangerous thought.

If you've ever been an active member in leftist spaces, you know exactly what this feels like. To even entertain the idea that a TiM shouldn't be in some women's sports for example would be a heresy.

Then blackwhite, which is literally training onself to believe that black is white or 2 and 2 make 5, if that's what the Party says to believe.

Applied to a Party member, it means a loyal willingness to say that black is white when Party discipline demands this. But it means also the ability to believe that black is white, and more, to know that black is white, and to forget that one has ever believed the contrary. This demands a continuous alteration of the past, made possible by the system of thought which really embraces all the rest, and which is known in Newspeak as doublethink.

And honestly to believe a man can be a woman, to know a man can be a woman, and stopping yourself from believing or ever saying otherwise, has quite clearly been warned against in one of the most prescient dystopian novels to have been written.

I do recommend reading 1984 by George Orwell. I will note that the book can be extremely misogynistic at times, but I think it makes sense in a book where everyone is literally trained to be, as the book describes, stupid and hateful.

Big Brother is Watching. Let's see what the Thought Police verdict against J.K. Rowling brings. If the result is dystopic, I believe we need to react accordingly.

Trump wasn’t the candidate who made women feel bullied and repulsed

( Women1st )
Women are not a single issue. Expecting women to vote while continuing to dangle the abortion carrot is garbage. Too many women clued in that they will not codify rights into law. We were very clearly told that our rights to define ourselves, have single sex spaces, have women’s sports, and protect women’s prisons meant nothing. We were TERF bigots to complain about the erosion of women’s rights.

( NoName )
I remember a non USA resident on this forum asking prior to the election what Harris could actually do about abortion if she won. I remember commenting that Harris couldn't do anything without a majority in both houses. Seriously though, this issue should never have been left swinging in the wind for fifty years on the basis of Roe vs Wade. Some years back I remember hearing why RBG never liked abortion being hinged on Roe vs Wade.

( NastasyaFillipovna )
The forgot women have lives outside of you know, getting pregnant and having abortions on a daily basis.

Republicans did face the music during mid terms after Roe, but states stepped in. The stories about miscarriages are coming out rn are mostly medical negligence and poor interpretation of law, rather than being abortion ban.

But TiM infestation into the daily life is horrible

( Amareldys )
Are most women dealing with TIMs in their daily life?

( sanitycheck )
Might not be a great idea to ask that on this forum where many women here have dealt with tims and tifs and have children being taught this in school and family members being indoctrinated into medical self harm. Women in prison are dealing with tims in their daily life. Not having free speech to say men are men is an incursion into one's daily life. Worrying youll be fired or lose your career for stating the truth is something i'm dealing with in my daily life.

RE: Are we nearing mass peak trans? Is the tide turning?

( eatmypussy )
Recent legislation has made me extremely optimistic. (Almost all gender critical legislation is coming from the Republican Party though, as Democrats continue to double down on gender ideology and alienate voters). Regardless of which party is passing it, we should celebrate the progress we've made in the U.S to protect women's sex-based rights!

When it comes to gender critical legislation, we've come a long way from 2019. A few examples:

- 25 states now ban TIMs from competing in women's sports. This is a huge change from 2019, when 0 states had this legislation in place.
- 22 states ban the chemical castration of minors ("puberty blockers") and ban butchers from performing double mastectomies / phalloplasty / vaginoplasty on children. A HUGE WIN for child safeguarding!!
- 10 states have some version of a bathroom bill on the books which enshrine in law that bathrooms and locker rooms are single-sex facilities
- 7 states ban the teaching of gender ideology in K-12 schools (unfortunately, teaching about LGB is also censored as a result, as the TQ have linked themselves via the alphabet soup)
- 3 states have passed the WoLF sponsored Women's Bill of Rights in 2023, with more posed to pass it this year
- 2 states restrict drag performances from being performed around children
Half the country has made enourmous progress on this issue. I hope the Democrats will be forced to come around eventually as more of their base peaks.

( Jane_Merrydaughter )
I think the popular feminist schism has occurred at last, and that is a major development.

We are

Sex feminists

or

Gender identity feminists

I also think the TQ+ tail is falling off the LGB as people tease out for themselves that sexuality and “gender identity” have duck all to do with one another.

It’s pretty much double down or think your way out.

As a sex feminist, trans men and women in detransition are welcome to hang at my wimmins camp, and let this be a lesson to us all about why single-sex cultural and institutional spaces are critical.

I love that the final question in the Kathleen Stock lecture at UATX is a women’s college student asking about a revival of women’s colleges.

Public support for LGBTQ is declining (likely due to the TQ)

It’s absolutely due to the TQ. Public support for stuff like gay marriage was at an all time high until the freaks started changing the meaning of words, demanding access to spaces that they are rightly excluded from, issuing violent threats to anyone who didn’t bow down to their demands, dismantling common sense protocols like safeguarding of children, teaching a new, warped, regressive, highly controversial ideology to children as though it’s undisputed fact, making an effort to alter the very way that humans identify and address one another, as well as the ability to perceive and react to threats, defending literal rapists and murderers simply because of their magic genderfeelz, etc.

( crodish )
I've seen increased homophobia all around too, and not just trans-flavored homophobia ("lesbians can like dick" etc). Shit like "this is why we should never have let the gays marry" and "slippery slope is a fallacy my ass". The downfall of it constantly being marketed as "the LGBTQIA2S++" is that the LGB are forever collateral damage. Also doesn't help that as many LGB people want nothing to do with TQ rubbish, that there ARE LGB people who have been caught up in it, along with the spicy straight and queer with extra steps crowd. It's a fucking ugly mess. Everything wrong with the "LGBTQIA" movement can be traced back to "TQ" roots. They've made everyone associate "gay lifestyle" with "pedophilia" and "weird" again, the VERY THINGS gay people were fighting so hard to destigmatize.

Sorry I could rant about this forever.

I don't care why dysphoria exists...
image

Dysphoria, as these people like to think of it, doesn't exist. It's a made up concept, sort of like the whole "multiple personalities" schtick. No, you do not have this fictional condition that makes you unable to function in your own body.

What you're experiencing are feelings of self-consciousness, envy, shame, anxiousness, and dissatisfaction that every person on earth feels, except unlike most people who deal with these feelings in healthy ways and learn to let them go, you've obsessed over them to the point where it's all you think about.

That is what "real dysphoria" is. Self-centeredness to the point of not being able to function correctly.

Either that or sexual compulsions brought on by paraphilia that you indulge in to the point that they become a behavioral addiction that, like all other addictions, is hard to break and causes you "discomfort" when you stop indulging in it.

Edit: I'd also like to add that addictions tend to take over all of your thoughts and begin to consume you and you end up centering your entire life around them. These people don't need "gender care." They need addiction rehab.

Like many other addictions (food, drugs, hoarding, alcohol) this addiction may have come about due to adverse childhood experiences. Regardless, that's no excuse for allowing your addiction to derail your own life and the lives of others. Stop using examples of little gay boys calling themselves girls because they don't understand homosexuality yet, are afraid of being bullied, and don't actually know the physical differences between sexes, therefore associate being men and women with superficial sexist stereotypes to excuse your own perversions or your own behavioral addictions.

Leave the rest of us alone and get some help. Seriously.

Relatable. I felt a lot of empathy at first for those feeling gender dysphoria because of course I could relate to it. I think a large majority of women and girls in the world do relate to not wanting to be female at least a few different points in our lives, for a variety of reasons. I still even feel some empathy for the TIFs who aren’t too far gone and unhinged. But the type of mental illness that TIMs is very different. It’s terrifying. And the way that TIPs and TRAs rally together to be abusive towards primarily the women who speak up against them. It disgusts me so much.

Can men breastfeed is asking the wrong question

( ApricotThoughts )
Men want to "breastfeed" for the same reason they want to "menstruate." The are both faux/foe activities (foes to women and children). They are simulating women's experiences to experience sexual arousal, if not in the moment, then afterwards.

These men breastfeed with the baby as a sex toy. Once they've established "sex toy" status for the child, when does it stop? Wide open for continuing sexual abuse, even at a low level - the child has been sexualized, how does a man with a sexual fetish walk that back for the sake of the child?

Taking pictures of themselves doing this is porn for other men.

( Mari11 )
That’s the biggest red flag to me. I’d never publish photos of my toddler breastfeeding because I know there are gross freaks out there that would use it for nefarious purposes. I’m suspicious of anyone who publishes those sorts of photos on social media (some mums are just naive I guess but I’m sure these men doing it must know)

( Wsbfom01 )
Men have breasts yes, but the breast tissue is not as developed compared to a woman. If you have to induce both the growth of the breast tissue along with the production of milk with massive amounts of hormones and other medicine can you really say that it’s healthy and safe? Where are the studies showing that the milk produced by a transwoman is sufficient and healthy for a child? Is it really ethical? The study they love citing is based on a group made up of women who were not pregnant , trans identified females and trans identified males.

Woman who can’t produce milk are simply told to give formula and even women who breastfeed have to stick to a specific diet.

I don’t see the point of supporting this abomination just for the sake of “gender euphoria”. The funny thing is that if they ever manage to normalize this they’ll immediately want something else, menstruation , giving birth etc. they’ll never be satisfied , because they’re chasing something unattainable.

It's a deliberate attempt to paint us as villains. Because to most liberals, conservatives are villains, so if someone doesn't have the "approved" view on gender ideology, TRAs have decreed that it must be because we're conservative in our hearts.

I'm a moderate overall, and I think moderates, liberals, and conservatives should be able to agree on how badly gender ideology is affecting women and children for many of the same reasons. It's wrong to sterilize kids. I think all sides can agree on that because we all believe kids have the right to grow up with their bodies intact and not altered by hormonal disruption.

( Gwenllian )
I think it is because the gender brigade have attached themselves like a rabid limpet to the left, they automatically view any dissent as being right wing.

Ironically their ideology of womanhood being a commodity they can purchase is capitalism on steroids. Their pursuit of privileges that take away women's rights, history and ability to protest is downright fascism. They attempt to convert lesbians and gays using brutal medical means. Forced speech and behaviour. Disobedience is punished severely through violence and censorship. They try to indoctrinate young children to their ideology. They disregard safeguarding procedures in favour of male sexual fetishes.

So it makes me wonder...how in the hell can they consider themselves left wing?

The idea that people who don't support gender ideology are on the far-right
One thing that I have noticed being discussed in TRA circles is the notion that the "rise in transphobia" or any "transphobia" (aka critical thinking) is a result of far-right politics; the consideration that center or left leaning people could be gender critical and have "transphobic" opinions doesn't even enter the conversation at all.

I haven't actually come across any far-right gender critical people - conservative sure but nobody who I would consider extremist. It seems to me that the majority of gender critical people I come across are actually left leaning or somewhere in the middle depending on other factors.

Do you think TRAs purposefully ignore this fact because they can't as easily brand left-leaning people as hateful bigots or they are just delusional about it and think that left-leaning people all engage in groupthink and automatically support gender ideology?

( hellamomzilla )
I hate this formulation because I feel that opposition to the systemic politicization of trans theory isn’t basically political. I feel that opposing it is a reality, scientific situation.

I am opposed to this not because of my political leanings but because it’s all lies. Humans come in one of two sexes, the end. THAT is the basis of my disagreement with the idea that anyone can change her sex. Sure, as we all know, there are political ramifications, but at base, I’m standing on biological truth. I also get why most of the political fighting against the lie of trans is freedom of belief/speech, but I kind of hate it. Understanding the reality of human reproduction is not an OPINION.

( Eava )
You won't find far right or conservative gender critical people. [...] You will find plenty of far right people who are anti-trans, pretty much every legal organization that takes on cases is Dominionist Christian like the ADF, and any anti-trans belief is labeled "gender critical" because the media and TRAs don't understand feminism.

Believing sex is real and men can't be women and women can't be men isn't a gender critical belief, it is one common among right wing Christian extremists like the Duggars and other Quiverfull adherents.

Trump invites 'brave' women's swim team that 'stood up to' transgender athlete to rally stage

As someone else said, the Dems could have and should have fixed this issue in their party after 2016 as it was said then that Obama’s pro trans policy sent voters to Trump. Instead, their pushback under Biden was inviting Mulvaney to the White House, hiring old AGP Richard Levine as a senior health official backing child transition, and trying to ram through an equality act ensuring all women’s spaces and sports would be Tim infested. Oh, and then the Easter party where some Tim flashed his boobs next to a couple of bare chested tifs with amputated breasts.

Talk to people. Make this visible. People tend to support it when it's an abstraction - then they see real world consequences like Mr. Johnson the math teacher is now Miss Johnson and he's also coaching the cheerleaders and in their locker room. During abortion talks, I bring up the women getting pregnant in prison. Support falters when people see it in real life.

It takes bravery and a willingness to risk the loss of friendship. But more and more people are open to the conversation. Parents are mobilizing. More detransitioners will be suing. We can keep opening people's eyes and that's going to be very effective for women in particular, because so many of our groups and events and communities were given away by other women who thought they were being kind.

Essentially, we can focus on taking back women's spaces and let Democrats know this is not supported by their base. And we can get active locally by seeking leadership positions and then Trojan horsing them just like TRAs Trojan horsed the Left.

You could become a supporter of DIAG (Democrats for An Informed Approach To Gender), it won’t cost you a penny. DIAG is working to educate democratic lawmakers and policy makers at the state and federal levels about the harms of sex-denialism. But to be effective, DIAG needs high numbers of supporters in state and federal districts to convince lawmakers that it is in their own best interest to change course on policies that erase women’s sex-based rights and endanger the health of minors. DIAG also has a forum for supporters that allows them to communicate with other supporters in their state so that they can plan actions and meet-ups.

I don't read it that way though. When they say "all students/people", "all" actually refers to transwomen and other gender specials.

For a long time, I used to be really confused when they say, "Protecting trans rights protects all women". (Or something similar like "Excluding transwomen harms all women".) The way the statement is phrased, I assumed "all women" is a follow up to say that protecting trans rights would also protect biological women. The statement made no sense to me because the infringement on women's rights was precisely what GC feminists were talking about. Until it finally dawned on me that "all women" did not mean us. To them, biological women are the default, and "all women" is the catch-all for transwomen.

In other words, when trans rights are not protected, some women are not protected. Those some women are the transwomen. By protecting trans rights, all women are protected, not just the biological ones.

It's a very sly way of sounding like they care about biological women, when in fact the entire statement is about everyone else except biological women who don't identify as some other gender.

So now, when they say "We support all students/people . . .", it may sound like they are saying they support the girls/women too, but what they're really saying is "We won't consider only the needs and safety of girls/women who are the default. We support ALL students/people". "All" being the trans identifying ones. And no one is excluded.

I swear when they say "all", we need to make them explain clearly what do they mean by "all".

I hate JD Vance but I'll be glad if the existence of AGP becomes mainstream. I'm sick of trying to explain the concept of it to people who are close to peaking and them looking at me like I have 2 heads and I'm making shit up. The majority of people have no idea that TIMs aren't all just gay men. People who actually know what AGP is are like a tiny fringe group online.

It took forever to explain to my husband that most TIMs aren't gay males. The only TIMs he saw in his country were gay homosexual cross dressers who were almost exclusively prostitutes and who he felt bad for - he said he knew one who would frequently pop up at his restaurant beaten up and covered in bruises :( the dude liked "tricking" straight men at night while looking for clients

( shewolfoffrance )
It's crazy to me how many reasonably well-informed men are so bad at talking about this issue, even going to the extent of using preferred pronouns or thinking there's some mythical "true trans." It doesn't help that a lot supposed anti-woke men like James Lindsay and Benjamin Boyce are friendly with, and promote, open AGPs.

( shewolfoffrance )
I always thought that pediatric transition and AGP would be the two things most likely to peak a critical mass of people. I'm glad AGP was discussed on a big platform (finally), but I've become more skeptical that AGP itself would peak people. A lot of men are reflexively defensive of other men's problematic sexual behaviors.

So there are 160 people voting on it. There are over 100,000 psychologists in the U.S.

My brother's friend works as a psychiatrist. He sees quite a few people who call themselves "trans". He says they're all seriously mentally messed up individuals (hence the need for psychiatric care even after they've had this miracle "transition" cure that's supposed to suddenly make them these happy, healthy individuals and make their anxiety and depression/suicidal thoughts disappear like magic. They all have a host of other issues, which of course is why they claim "trans" identities in the first place and which don't go away just because they start injecting themselves with horse piss extract.

The fallout from all this is going to be so fun to deal with in the coming decades. Especially for those who are being transed as kids.

( Ladylucy )
I don’t understand why enbies are considered trans. They are the opposite of trans.

( DurableBook )
Oh but seriously the trans/enby schism is one of my favorite areas of trans religious history.

See, there's one sect who see "transgender" and "cisgender" as the fundamental binary. Any person who is transgender is, by definition, not cisgender, and vice versa. Therefore, enbies are a type of transgender.

But there's another sect who divide people into the "binary gendered" or "non binary gendered". Any person who is cisgender is, by definition, binary, but the reverse is not necessarily true. A trans person who sees themselves as exclusively a man or a woman is also a binary gendered person. Therefore, enby does not fall under the "umbrella" of transgender, but rather is actually its own umbrella which trans people may or may not fall under.

If you haven't lurked trans forums and watched the internecine squabbles between these two factions in particular, I really encourage you to give it a try. It's like that old joke:

I was walking across a bridge one day, and I saw a man standing on the edge, about to jump. I ran over and said: "Stop. Don't do it."

"Why shouldn't I?" he asked.

"Well, there's so much to live for!"

"Like what?"

"Well, what about your identity? You have an identity, right?"

He said: "Yes."

I said: "Me too. What are your pronouns?"

"He/him."

"Me too. Are you AFAB or AMAB?"

"AFAB."

"Me too. Are you masc or femme?"

"Masc."

"Wow. Me too. Are you an allosexual masc he/him AFAB, or an asexual masc he/him AFAB?"

"Allosexual masc he/him AFAB."

"Me too. Are you an alloromantic allosexual masc he/him AFAB, or an aromantic allosexual masc he/him AFAB?"

"Alloromantic allosexual masc he/him AFAB."

"Me too. Are you a cis alloromantic allosexual masc he/him AFAB, or a trans alloromantic allosexual masc he/him AFAB?"

Stuff like this is why MAGA maintains its popularity despite whatever accusations are thrown at Trump. Where else are you permitted in real life to applaud the banning of child transgender surgeries?

This is a problem entirely of the Democratic Party's own making. If you don't permit criticism of the transgender cult in your own party, then your opponent will. The Democrats had literal years to reconcile this issue within the party and chose the trans cult instead of the voters.

More and more women have stopped pandering to these men. It particularly bothers them when it is lesbians not pandering. Women are starting to ignore/disregard the presence of the larping men. To make snide comments and laugh in their faces. To make it clear that lesbians are rejecting them for dating/sex not for the semi-respectable "genital preferences" or for being "trans", but because "transwomen" are men.

Women are making it clear that he, and all the men like him, are creepy predators that are prone to male violence and who women are justified in fearing. Women are starting to not even remotely care that he whines that being treated like the invader he is makes him "feel bad". He may even be suspicious that we know he doesn't actually feel bad; he is just angry that women won't let him get off on his fetish at their expense.

The LGBTQWTF alphabet shit soup is still forced to have to include the TQ but there are starting to be occasional events that don't feature the larping men. Lesbians are starting to be more public about saying they would never get with these men.

I never thought I'd be here, but I 100% view leftists and liberals like this the same way I've always viewed Fox News or Liberty University. Full on propaganda machines with cult-ish tendencies.

The left despises the fact that they were wrong about trans ideology. Not because of the harm it's doing, but because they were wrong. Their superiority complex cannot take it. They will root out and destroy any dissenter because they can't be wrong.

These girls are suffering because some smug leftist fucks are too arrogant to admit they were wrong. We are literally being held hostage by assholes who care more about looking like good people than being good people.

I have so much hate for the left now. And it's not the dull, long term hate I've held for conservatives. It's a burning hatred produced by massive betrayal. The left's betrayal of women feels so personal to me. I don't know if anyone else feels the same, but it actually gnaws at me knowing that I supported these people for my entire life.

Embarrassing...

Feminists warned them, they shut them down. Women warned them, they shut them down. Now Republicans get an easy attack that is actually real. Republicans throw around a bunch of stupid hyperbole (no one actually gets dropped off at school as a boy and picked up as a girl, c'mon), but the core of "Democrats believe men can claim to be women and go into women's bathrooms and girls should be allowed to get their breasts removed and inject steroids because they think they're boys" is true and can be verified with many sources. And to any moderate/average person that is fucked up.

Sometimes TRAs claim "trans is only 1% of the population, leave them alone!" well boy it's going to be pretty fucking embarrassing if Democrats lose because the party decided to cater to a handful of ✨stunning and brave✨ basement-dwelling gooners wearing poorly applied lipstick and cheap wigs.

In a debate, Allred said again he doesn’t support “boys playing girls’ sports,” but he added, “What I think is that folks should not be discriminated against.”"

He is weaseling around a definite answer. If he thinks TWAW then he can claim trans girls are not boys so boys aren't playing in girls sports. When he says they shouldn't be discriminated against-does he mean TIMs should not be kept out of single sex female spaces because that would be discrimination?

And as far as "gender affirming" care in prison, how is it that this gets covered while pregnant women prisoners don't get proper prenatal care & in some places are chained to the bed during childbirth. Do other male or female prisoners get proper medical care? Do older females get hrt therapy after menopause if they are considered to need it?

Bill C-63 in Canada - a new tool to oppress women


This is a bill that purports to protect children from online exploitation (good! if only!) but sneaks in words that are absolutely shocking. Here is is, talking about “hate crimes”:

320.‍1001 (1) Everyone who commits an offence under this Act or any other Act of Parliament, if the commission of the offence is motivated by hatred based on race, national or ethnic origin, language, colour, religion, sex, age, mental or physical disability, sexual orientation, or gender identity or expression, is guilty of an indictable offence and liable to imprisonment for life.

And “hate” is defined as

hatred means the emotion that involves detestation or vilification and that is stronger than disdain or dislike; (haine)

This can be used to punish and harass women in so many ways. I feel I’m practically “back in the USSR”. What next? Siberia? Gulag?

I think we’ll have a jolly good time meeting one another in prison, dear Canadian Ovarites. Personally, I am well past the zone of mere “dislike”, and well into “detestation” …and I think many of you are, too. And how can you NOT detest the TIMs? Today as I was reading about the “chest feeding” I felt myself sinking into the very red zone of “vilification”.

It will not take long for this bill, if enacted in its current form, to start making victims. Imprisonment for life! Not for pedophiles, murderers, serial killers, but for detesting TIMs.

Homosexual not homogender

( Unicorn )
Homogender lmao. I like it.

Let's start coining homogender and heterogender. If TIPs think gender is all that matters, while other people still live in reality where realize sexual beings are attracted to people with certain sexual organs, we can use words for them that better explain and delineate their sexist thinking.

Also I bet a lot of men nowadays are "heterogender" after decades of pornsickness and normalized misogyny. They're not attracted to female people, they're attracted to feminine ideals. Hence why there are men okay with HSTS partners who tend to rigidly perform femininity.

( MaryDyer )
I second this. I’ve started a rough draft of their new dictionary so they can stop stealing and twisting OUR words:

Gender: one’s internal sense of affinity for outdated sex-based stereotypes

Moman/birl: a male who identifies with the gender (sex-based stereotypes) historically associated with females

Wan/goy: a female who identifies with the gender (sex-based stereotypes) historically associated with males

Gender orientation: the gender that you are genderally attracted to

Genderal intercourse: also known as “having gender”; the joining together of two genders in a pleasurable union. See also: mind meld

Heterogenderal: attracted to the opposite gender

Homogenderal: attracted to the same gender

Mazerbae: a homogenderal moman

Wazerbae: a homogenderal wan

I feel like there is a creepy aspect of using inmates for experimental surgeries/medical practices too. Sure, these guys want it, but they're also insane. It's not ethical to do that, and them being prisoners makes it even less ethical (before we get to the idea of taxes paying for it even). I think this has potential to be a disturbing slippery slope. It's not like it'd be the first time incarcerated people would be medically experimented on.

I mean, this is the closest to legalized permanent sterilization of sex offenders that we can reach before it impacts freedom. I think we should cover bottom surgery on males for this reason. It also allows us to do research and improve surgical techniques on a larger scale. I say line them up- and maybe argue to have a separate prison dedicated to this.

Just my opinion.

( DoomedSibyl )
Doesn’t matter, most TIMs don’t want SRS. Depending on where you read, either 94% or 96% of trans identified males are fully intact and intend to stay that way. They want the other surgeries (bolt ons, body contouring, facial feminization surgery) to feed their fetish. TIMs definitely don’t want to lose the sexual function.

There’s a possibility that the American taxpayer will be paying for cosmetic surgeries for trans criminals, including the higher percentage of rapists in the TIM population. What’s next? TERFs will be forced to send them affirming care packages?

Why do black women support transgenderism?
I stopped following the afro-feminist page called Afrocolectiva because it is immersed in transgenderism. They talk about the lived experiences of black women from different parts of the world in which I feel identified. They have good publications that talk about female genital mutilation. All good until I saw a video of them talking about trans children "debunking the transphobic or terf discourse that children do not have the maturity to question their gender identity."

The video talks about the patriarchal and binary ideas imposed by colonizers on indigenous and black people that reduce trans and non-binary people to their genitals and that the category of woman was introduced by colonizers.

I saw another video about a black female athlete who was banned from women's sports for having high testosterone levels and she says it's an injustice to black female athletes. But in the same video they say that they are using this as an excuse to exclude "trans women."

What does that have do with black women!? Black women are women, not males with high or levels of testosterone, castrated penis or fake boobs! I am tired of being compared with men!

I saw another video talking about that blackface is racism. Questioning the fact that they chose a white person to play as Baltasar and not a black person. Why don't they talk about womanface? Why don't they talk about Munroe Bergdof who was chosen as ambassador of the UN Women Committee of the United Kingdom and that he stated that he does not want to hear anything related to the body of human females? Why is the fact that they chose a man as a representative of women not questioned when they could have chosen a woman?

Following non woke black women like Laetitia Kay, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and Hibo Wardere is like breathing fresh air. Trans activists really showed their racism by attacking Laetitia Kay for talking to JK Rowling. Also by attacking Hibo Wardere because talking about female genital mutilation hurts TIMS feelings. When Hibo Wardere herself was a victim of female genital mutilation. How can they be so cruel?

TRA attempt at satire - "Taking hormones to treat a medical condition is exactly the same as taking hormones just because you feel like it!"
image

( Ava )
I don't understand how these people have seriously convinced themselves that they have a "medical condition" and that they therefore should be "treated" with hormones.

A man with low testosterone is given hormones because we can literally observe his physical problem. Meanwhile there is no way to measure "transness." You're going off someone saying that they feel like they should be the opposite sex. There is nothing physically wrong with them.

The fact that they can so snarkily act like "dysphoria" is equivalent to observable medical issues is crazy to me.

( Edelgard )
It's only a medical condition when it's convenient though. In other contexts saying transness is a medical condition is heinous transphobia.

( shewolfoffrance )

Meanwhile there is no way to measure "transness."

And they desperately want it to stay that way. Since the goal is sexual access for unscrupulous men, it's important that no one can point to a study that would prove any of them lying perverts. When AGPs like Julia Malott say things like "we can't rule out trans women breastfeeding because it hasn't been studied adequately" they don't mean it. It's deflection and a delaying tactic. The last thing they want is scientists confirming that male nipple discharge is harmful to babies.

As much as I care about reproductive rights, I'm not convinced that dems are even working to do anything about that.

Serious question: what have the Dems done for women’s rights lately??? They’ve decriminalized prostitution in California with predictably awful results. Allowed TIMs to terrorize & impregnate women in prison. Tried to allow the state to take away people’s children if parents don’t put them on cross sex hormones as minors.

I can think of several issues related to women where Republicans are doing a better job legislating than the Dems: keeping women’s sports eligibility open only to females; age-verification for pornographic websites; passing the women’s bill of rights & codifying sex in law.

That "girl" would still exist. Your "anti-trans" laws aren't marching people off to the gulags 🙄 only asking that you RESUME using the bathroom/sports/prisons you had zero issues with until genderwoo invaded your life. You're not stopped from sports or scholarships, just the female ones. You're not female = you don't qualify. It's not hard to understand.

The transman gotcha is an over used "card". Any TIF, no matter how much she's transitioned, is still female, and therefore still has the RIGHT to use female only spaces and female only services, because she's female. But she's not forced to - she can use male spaces if she wants - because (1) it would affirm her 🙄 (2) men face little to no threat from a female in a male space. If a TIF like Buck Angel walks into a women's space "presenting as a man", of course she's going to get pushback, but that's not on the women who don't and should not expect males to be in their female-only space. That's on the TIF for taking wrong sex hormones and surgeries to the point where she could possibly be mistaken for an actual man, and not just a masculine woman, a woman with short hair, a woman with a flat chest, or a woman with hirsutism. Because, TRAs, "masculinity" doesn't equal "man", and most peoples' sex, even after heavy modification, is still very obvious.

TIMs however are still the ones with a male body - and so they still can't use female spaces no matter how well they pass, or if they've gotten surgery, or if they were on blockers before puberty. There's not much to explain outside of "females are at risk from males and should have the right to female single sexed spaces".

If men want their spaces to be kept single sex only too from females, that's their fight, but I doubt many are going to bother since most of them WANT females in their spaces. See: Grindr, and anywhere else. Gay men can lead their own fight to keep TIFs out of homosexual male spaces.

This is a very tiring overexplanation constantly telling a lion tamer why his lion isn't welcome at the domestic cat contest even though both are cats. And that domestic cats are clear to enter the lion contest at their own risk and safety.

Transhypocrites
1. Women who are afraid of men in their bathroom need to STFU & deal with it, but "transwomen need women's bathrooms because they're unsafe in men's"

2. Trans people can decide to declare someone isn't actually trans and/or that's not what being trans is, but women defining why someone's post/behavior isn't gender critical or radfem are told the person is 100% GC/radfem no matter what even obvi trolls

3. if you aren't trans you can't speak for them or about their experiences, but they can speak for women and about exclusively female experiences

4. TiP can make any claim, say anything, and it's automatically the truth despite no evidence and if you ask for proof you're told to "educate yourself", but women who make a claim about something have to provide tons of proof & evidence to be told anyway that it's somehow fake and trans ppl never have to educate themselves on what GC or Radfem actually means/believes

5. transwomen deserve to have the opportunity to participate in women's sports because men's would invalidate them and hurt their poor feelings or somehow make them "unsafe", but women have to compete with men feeling the same, get over it, and miss opportunities to sport so a man can take her spot

6. you don't get to decide if something is transphobic or not but TiP can tell you clear misogyny isn't misogyny and same w sexism

7. women aren't allowed female only online communities for any reason whatsoever even discussing female health, being lesbian, or sexual assualt, but TiP can have thousands and for anything reason even video game discussion or for their pets that are just for trans people

8. TiMs get to talk about porn fetishizing, dehumanizing, and degrading them and it's a serious issue many are disgusted with, reportable/bannable offense but women can stfu because porn doesn't hurt them whatsoever and literal abuse & rape porn is fine

9. cosmetic surgery for breast implants because you want it must be covered for transwoman so they don't experience "mental distress" and "affirm their identity" + it is "essentialal/life saving" but women experiencing pain every day of her life due to large breasts can't have reduction covered or performed or even get a referral because it's cosmetic surgery

I have some sympathy for these poor men. They’re driven mad by hormones and the mental strain of trying to believe they’re female.

I'm so glad to see this topic covered critically that I hate to quibble, but no. No sympathy for these men. They are pedophiles and they were mad before the estrogen. I understand the buck stops with the doctors, but these TIMs are no good.

( FemmeEtal )
Exactly. “Driven mad by hormones”? They weren’t force fed, they demanded estrogen that doesn’t belong in their bodies. They stole HRT from women in actual need of those hormones, created a new stigma around the use of HRT, bullied nurses and doctors, destroyed the medical community in general, tainted countless studies and data, and demanded tax payer money fund it all because their depression boner makes them unable to work. It’s entirely their doing and they aren’t victims, they are literally demanding it.

( YesYourNigel )
I think the person is saying that TIMs like this are traumatised by gender roles and so desperate to escape them through transitioning, which fucks with their heads even further by making them even more obsesses over maintaining a lie, while also suffering the effects of an artificially maintained hormonal imbalance. But yeah, when you start claiming your moob secretions are better at feeding babies, you are way past just being misguided.

You also can't go crazy from a hormonal imbalance. It will fuck with your emotional stability and can produce various issues, but these guys are already fueled by perceiving women as costumes and wanting to beat them at their own game. The emotional instability only makes them more unhinged, but it doesn't turn them into raging misogynists, they already were that coming it. Because they're men.

Why being Minority is considered virtuous ?
Look at TiMs in women's sports. They always cry they are being targeted despite being a minority. Why does being Minority warrants a free pass ?

Same thing happens with religious minorities who are a majority group in a lot of countries. We are supposed to turn a blind eye to their woman oppressing customs just because they are a minority here. That's it, that's the only justification.

Everyone can be a minority if you draw enough lines. Even among ethnic minorities, you could draw more likes based on their income levels.

I mean they say that, but they're not even consistent.

Trans are a minority so they must get special privileges to abuse women at their leisure.

Detrans people are a minority of a minority, so they should get extra extra special treatment, right? WRONG for some reason they get treated basically as badly as us TERFs. Probably because they're mostly women, but also because the religious zealot hates the apostate MUCH more than the infidel.

Also Jewish people are a minority, especially compared to the billions of muslims, but they're almost as hated as women are. Obviously Jewish women get the brunt of it.

Also minorities that don't behave in woke approved manner, like Asian people who despite discrimination perform often better than whites in the USA, lose their minority status and become "white adjacent".

( Misssarcasm )
Critical race theory turned into an easy black-and-white topic. Being a minority -> being oppressed. Oppression is evil -> majority is evil -> minority is good.

Add on to that with the fact that people love labels. They want to be special, and a minority label can be seen to attention seekers as a “more important” label, since it allows them to be part of a special, small group that’s “inherently good” and deserves more for being so small and oppressed.

Edit: I should say that I don’t think all minority labels are inherently bad, in case it came off with that when I re-read it. Some do genuinely bring up injustices that should be changed, but in cases like TIMs it’s a total play for “special points”

( stickyleaves )
A smart feminist academic friend still believes in gender theory, I think because:

-being a successful adademic is super important to her identity and so she doesn’t want to die on that hill if it risks her career. I think this is a subconscious choice- she doesn’t want to dig into TERF-y things lest it shake the foundations, deep down I think she has some doubts (she used to talk about these to me a decade ago, now she wont acknowledge the doubts)

-she’s got your typical levels of self-doubt/imposter syndrome so is willing to assume that all the other smart lefties who are really into trans stuff must be right

-she moves in hip, “queer” circles and at least one close friend of hers has gone from lesbian to supposedly NB or trans. It’s much more convenient to believe her good friend is earnestly living their best life and fighting the good fight than that they’re an idiot in this very important way.

None of this excuses any of it, but I think this is where her head is at. I wasn’t in the cool club enough to peak her yet, but I think she will get there.

I suppose it's similar to how a lot of great scientists and academics back in the day had to choose their battles, tiptoing around the established dogma of the Catholic Church so as not to be arrested for heresy like Galileo.

Nowadays, the repercussions are mostly social, but for anyone trying to establish themselves in academia, it's a cutthroat world. When professors are fired for stating basic biology, it's hard to blame them, even if it is cowardly.

( brusquette )
The same kernel that has women talking about how female on male sexual abuse isn't taken seriously, how toxic masculinity is bad for men too, how gender roles hurt so.

The expectation for women to be mother shows up in feminism as much as anything else. There's no other isms wherein activisms constituents are demanded to appeal to all, and to consider the oppressor harmed by the system.

People sneer at "white feminism" to sneer at all feminism. It is not that feminists are above reproach for issues of race, class, or other intersectionality. But merely that we don't call anything "men's civil rights movements" or "mens BLM" or "rich disability activism."
