In the cold harsh light of reality, gender identity is either a sexual fetish, a trauma response or a brainwashing. While there is empathy for 2 of those things, none of them should ever be a “protected class”.

And if you don’t know this by 2025, you don’t understand the issue.

This happens so often in feminism! I think @HJoyceGender described people being scared to "think their thoughts through to the end" (love this @poppy_sowerby review of Dworkin's work) https://t.co/W97nyzHsRY

Empathy matters, but as I've argued in Unkind, this position - "my views are the views of the kind people, and anyone who objects has no empathy" - can actually betray a lack of empathy for anyone outside your in-group >

This is for Kfir and Ariel.

Share this 🟧 in support of the Bibas family.

May their memory be a blessing.

[Israel ישראל @Israel]

This is for Kfir and Ariel Bibas.

They were ten months and four years old.

They were murdered for being Jewish.

Autogynophilia is a paraphilic disorder rooted in the objectification of women. It dehumanizes and degrades women and girls into compartmentalized pleasure objects that men can purchase, own, and put on. It is a literal perversion.

The normalization of this objectification harms women and girls.

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

It makes no difference how politely the person who wishes to compel my speech makes the request. The very making of the request tells me the man in question thinks he has the right to control my language, and thereby, to control me. He is asking me to acquiesce in a lie, to pretend, implicitly, that he and I are the same. It is an act of dominance, which is why the women discussing this with you keep using the word 'demand', as opposed to your preferred 'request'.

In the current political climate, any request to use opposite sex pronouns when talking about a trans-identified man carries a threat. It is highly disingenuous to pretend you don't know that many women and girls have been put through absolute hell over the past few years, either for refusing to pretend men can be women, or for hurting an individual trans-identified man's vanity, even unintentionally.

I'm assuming that if someone put a gun to your head and told you to hand over all your money you wouldn't much care how sweetly they'd asked. That's where increasing numbers of women are on this issue. They're sick of having a metaphorical gun held to their head, of the ever-present threat of being investigated, reported, harassed, sacked, defamed and dragged into court - simply because they won't pretend men are women.

All you've been doing for the past two days is prove exactly how shallow your understanding is, not only of this issue, but of what women have already lost and endured. This makes your patronising 'just be nice, ladies,' lectures even more offensive.

“What Sandie Peggie has done by withdrawing from the changing room when you were there is opted out of immersive role play. That’s why you were angry... That one voice saying you’re a man will break the spell.”

Transphobia = not submitting to an ideology which subjugates women & girls, promotes mental illness, indoctrinates children, demonises the same sex attracted, and destroys freedom of speech, belief, and association.

[Victoria Smith @glosswitch]

Progressive Man does get a mention in (Un)kind. What I find especially enraging about him is the thinly veiled insinuation that if women care about, say, single-sex spaces *as well as* abortion rights they're being selfish and haven't got their priorities right

[Jennifer 🟥🔴🧙‍♀️🦉🐈‍⬛ 🦖 @babybeginner]

People don’t know just how bad it has gotten.

This website has over 5000 times men and boys took women’s trophies.

Even allowing one cheater demoralizes ALL women athletes. Why train so hard if a man can come in and snag what you’ve worked so hard for? 1/

gay couples & infertile women do not possess some inalienable right to parenthood that supersedes the welfare of the marginalized women who are exploited by the financial incentives of surrogacy work.

[Tiffany ⚢ Woman4Women @Woman4W]

The reason autogynephiles remind you of Buffalo Bill is because that character was written to be an amalgamation of several prolific real-life serial killers.

We know creepy, antisocial, dangerous men when we see them.

[Israel ישראל @Israel]

Yarden Bibas is finally home—but his wife, Shiri, and their children, Kfir and Ariel, are not with him.

We stand with Yarden and the entire Bibas family.

🟧 Share this for Yarden, Shiri, Kfir, and Ariel.

I see today's razor sharp twitter argument is

You women insisted upon getting an education, so you basically deserve men in your toilets

[Victoria Smith @glosswitch]

I wrote about why 'smashing the gender binary' ought to start with men no longer deciding their perceptions of reality (and language preferences) naturally override those of women https://t.co/Ewmq2LUPoO

[Jack @j4ppleby]

One of the main reasons the myth "we all begin female" is so pervasive is because of the misogynistic idea that women are underdeveloped men.

[Genevieve Gluck @MsGluck]

The executive order restoring women's rights was written by @MayMailman, former Director of Independent Women's Law Center, now Deputy Assistant to the President.

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

Australian lesbians aren't allowed to exclude men from public meetings.

Read that sentence again and remind yourself that there are people who claim the gender identity movement poses no threat to women's or gay rights.

[Victoria Smith @glosswitch]

I wish more people would realise that even "feminine" little boys aren't owed some kind of patriarchal privilege compensation package from "kind" girls
