@salvation_f Women made….men.
Full stop.

[Wildfire Whispers @WildfireWhisper]

If you call yourself a “trans woman,” here’s what I know about you:

You’re a man.

I don’t know what your motivations are, I don’t know if you’re harmless, I don’t know if you “sincerely feel like a woman.”

I just know you are a man.

And I know that, as a man, you possess things like larger arm length, grip strength, muscle mass, lung capacity and airway size than I do.

I know all of those things mean that you are faster, stronger, and physiologically more powerful than me.

I know those things mean that if we competed in just about any sport, you’d win.

I also know those things mean 95% of men (even on cross sex hormones) are physiologically capable of killing 90% of women USING ONLY THEIR BARE HANDS.

I don’t know if you are the type of man who would do something like that.

But I do know that AS A MAN, you have a statistically higher risk of harming me or my daughter than a woman does.

And that we have a lower chance of being able to defend ourselves, if you decide to.

I know that trans identifying men have the same—or higher—statistical crime rates and patterns as other men.

I know that there is NO EMPIRICAL DIAGNOSTIC TEST beyond “trust me bro” that can clinically demonstrate that you’re different or safer than any other man.

You might be a lovely person. You might never hurt a fly. You might be a totally awesome human being. Lots of men are.

But I can’t know those things any more than I can know if you’re a predator, unless we know each other for a while.

And, as A WOMAN, I have had to grow up mentally gauging the threat level of EVERY MAN in my vicinity.

Being aware.

Being careful.

Being tuned into my instincts.

Not because I’m paranoid. Not because I’m a “bigot” or “sexist.”

But because there’s a 1 in 4 chance that I’ve been raped.

There’s a 1 in 3 chance I’ve been physically assaulted by an intimate partner.

There’s a 1 in 2 chance that I’ve been physically assaulted by ANY MAN over my lifetime.

You know what those statistics (and the fact that you, as a “trans woman,” hold exactly the same statistical criminality patterns as other men) mean?

I don’t have the LUXURY of assuming you’re different.

And you haven’t done ANYTHING to prove that you are.

You want to live in a world where women don’t treat you as a possible threat?

Where you don’t feel that wariness from us?

Then maybe you should care about all that, respect the boundaries set up for our physical safety and fairness, and take action to make this world safer for women and girls—instead of dismantling every safeguard that's keeping those statistics from being even higher.

In other words, you should try to PROTECT women.

Because you want to know the easiest way to tell good men from bad ones?

Good men do EXACTLY that.

@gatorgar saw your tweet abt church.
Baby, just go. If you find the right one, you’ll know. The hardest part of seeking the Lord can be separating Him from His people. Seek Him first. The rest will come. Happy for you.

@tiffany_willis @jk_rowling But that’s the thing. She posted her opinion, and people came out of the woodwork to tell her how wrong she was, and how horrid she was for it. And won’t let it go. Can’t blame her for doubling down. Instead of respecting her opinion, people tried to cancel her. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[JanePaulJones @KristiGlover]

@jk_rowling Done.

Question, @espn :
Why are you showing Georgia’s down/yards to go during their possessions on that little bar at the bottom of the screen, but not Notre Dame’s?
Tuck it a little, yeah? The bias is creeping out again…

of having your value as a human being centered around a piece of tissue in your body. Let’s not forget that we’re also expected to be sexually experienced, but have a low body count.
Feel free to add to my list of “must-do’s” for anyone who’s new to being a woman…..

[JanePaulJones @KristiGlover]

At this point, I really want to see newcomers to being a woman get the full experience. Things like an immediate reduction in pay comparable to her fellow female colleagues, being mansplained, excruciating menstrual cramps, messy periods, PMS, bloating, working…

attention, being called a bitch for setting boundaries, constant vigilance in public and after dark, being told that we have to check under our cars, not pump gas alone, not run alone at 5:30 a.m., or get victim shamed when you’re attacked, oh, yes, and the absolute joy of…

@GayRepublicSwag You are so right. And people forget that satan uses saved people just as easily as he uses people who don’t have a relationship with Jesus to keep people from Him.

@GrandpaHarris65 I don’t have the crayons or patience to explain the disparity between meth’s human toll and that of badly raised, undisciplined people who think the answer to their problems is murdering other people. There’s always talk about gun control but not about mental health. Wonder why?
