@feedfracture@RoisinMichaux Words have meaning.
You can't just change the meaning of a word without consequences in law and real life
The only people who want to do that have nefarious intentions.
@feedfracture@RoisinMichaux What do you mean there is no reason??
"Gender identity" is a bunch of sexist stereotypes that can change in time or area or culture and gender has no place in reality
Biological reality is always the same, everywhere, all of time. It is what being a woman is about.
Christian Nรจgre, a former French Culture Ministry official is accused of drugging over 240 women with diuretics during fake job interviews, then forcing humiliating walks to observe their loss of bladder control, which he documented in an Excel spreadsheet detailing intimate details like underwear color.
โHe stands accused of drugging a total of 248 women. The women recounted how he would spike their coffee and tea with powerful diuretics and then take them on long walks to watch them squirm. The apparent aim was to chart their descent into humiliation.โ
@letsjustfckngo@ndzionist081945@oreid8by7@MrMennoTweets It harms women.
Women in sports, women in prison, women in rape shelters, women in changing rooms, women at work, ...
You can't just use women as a costume and assert your dominance as a man in a dress and penetrate women's spaces
It's misogynist and harmful
@letsjustfckngo@ndzionist081945@oreid8by7@MrMennoTweets Women are born and only born.
Those associations and social standards you talk about is sexism.
We got over that in the 90's and now it's back as "gender"
It's sexism and defining yourself according to it is stupid
@letsjustfckngo@ndzionist081945@oreid8by7@MrMennoTweets It's an ideology that believes in some sort of gendered soul that has no relation to biological reality
There is no logic behind it. Just regressive sexism, misogyny and homophobia
๐ด The Shah of Iran warns Europe:
"I was told my apartment is only one mile from the Royal Palace in Brussels.
In my own district, there are some Islamists pushing legislation to conduct not only Sharia law, but to segregate buses so women and men ride in separate buses in Brussels.
If that's the way Europe wants to end up, then honestly, I don't... I'm lost for words.
I don't want the Europeans to end up where Iranians are today. But if you insist on that - so be it. You have only yourselves to blame."
@mrrealbin@TRobinsonNewEra It's disrespectful and narcissistic.
They aren't in a muslim country.
Go to a mosque or home when you need to pray.
Your religion should never inconvenience other people
Adapt or leave to a country with the customs and religion you like
@letsjustfckngo@ndzionist081945@oreid8by7@MrMennoTweets The issue with that word is that it is terminology of a an ideology, one most humans not only do not follow but one that a lot of people find incredibly offensive
It implies there is another kind of woman than the ones being born one. That in itself is misogynist and insane
