Kill all humans

@Lifeofpuck07 @jk_rowling @NoTimeToDiane @Gauguina_ @SkyDalby37773 @beanschicken1 You’re still conflating femininity with femaleness.

The “social relations” you are speaking of are based on feminine gender roles that are imposed on women…they are not what makes a person a woman.

@Lifeofpuck07 @jk_rowling @SkyDalby37773 @beanschicken1 You’re conflating femininity with womanhood as TRAs always do…

Names, pronouns and clothing don’t make you a woman, but may be socially coded as feminine.

Two separate things.

A woman who is masculine in all those ways is still a woman because she is an adult human female.

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

My position is that gender dysphoria is a real, painful condition and that for some adults, the only way they may feel able to resolve that inner conflict is transition. If that’s the road they choose I wish them long life and happiness and I would vigorously oppose any discrimination against them when it comes to employment, housing or voting rights.

I do not believe children have the capacity to consent to treatments that may leave them infertile and, in some cases, anorgasmic. Multiple studies have shown that gender dysphoria in childhood and adolescence is not uncommon, for gay kids particularly, but it also occurs in, for example, straight girls who hate the idea of becoming women and sometimes, tragically, in children who’ve been abused. The available evidence shows that in the majority of cases, gender dysphoria resolves after the person has gone through adolescence. I am strongly opposed to the experimental treatment of blocking puberty in dysphoric children. I believe trans activists have behaved hugely unethically and irresponsibly in pretending that there is good evidence that these treatments are beneficial (there isn’t), that puberty blockers are completely reversible (there is a mounting body of evidence to suggest they aren’t) or that children are likely to kill themselves if denied blockers (there is no evidence to support this and suicide prevention charities warn against making such statements, due to the very real danger of suicide contagion.)

Of course, not all trans-identified people are dysphoric. Erotic transvestism, also known as autogynephilia, (getting a sexual thrill out of dressing as/pretending to be a woman) has been around for a very long time. I believe lesbians are entitled to exclude straight, cross-dressing men from their dating pools without being accused of bigotry and worse (same goes for gay men with trans-identified women). It’s profoundly homophobic to attack gay people for being same-sex attracted.

I don’t believe anyone, adult or child, is ‘born in the wrong body.’ That is an unfalsifiable, quasi-religious belief. A person may *feel* as if they’re in the wrong body, but humans cannot literally change sex. However they identify, men don’t belong in the single-sex spaces for which women fought so hard.

@rejserin @douglasbulloch So a black man who identifies as black is in part neurologically black?

[Bender Rodriguez @_ShinyMetalAss_]

@rejserin @douglasbulloch So do you extend this logic to every other aspect of a person's sense of self? If someone identifies as a given race, does that mean that race is biological because that sense of identity has to be embedded in our neurological pathways and neurochemistry?

And once he’s placed her brain safely in the freezer, what should the man do with the rest of the body?

What integrity looks like

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

If you walked up to Mike Tyson in a bar and punched him in the face, I doubt ‘you can’t hit back because I’m so puny!’ would save you from consequences.

Same on X. If you want to punch me in public but don’t want to risk a brain injury in return, stick to your own weight class.

「子宮のある人」「生理のある人」って言う人たちさあ、特定の臓器や身体機能の有無は個人情報でもあるのに、それらを「アウティング」してもOKなのはなんでかね？その一方で性自認はアウティングしたら駄目なんでしょ？OK/駄目の基準は何？少しくらいは主張に一貫性を持ってくれ

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

@TheJustLawyer I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Don’t pound on my door if you’re too chickenshit to stand your ground when it opens.

[Bender Rodriguez @_ShinyMetalAss_]

@datadriven_tdoc I'm gender critical and from this clip I think what he's doing is great .

But I guess you'll just ignore me to further your narrative 🤷

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

Every word.

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

The more nonsensical and obviously absurd a belief is, the more people who hold it (or pretend to) will resist recanting. The potential for humiliation rises in direct proportion to the ridiculousness of what they've publicly swallowed. They see no choice but to double down.

[Bender Rodriguez @_ShinyMetalAss_]

@abbott_danieI @VitoComedy Trans women aren’t the black people in this scenario. They’re the white people in black face.

[Bender Rodriguez @_ShinyMetalAss_]

@DarrigoMelanie She’s gender fluid. Gender is a spectrum and can change over time. Do better 💅

[Bender Rodriguez @_ShinyMetalAss_]

@AriDrennen I thought your side was always saying that no man would ever pretend to be a woman just to get into a female only space. So therefore she must be a genuine woman.

[Bender Rodriguez @_ShinyMetalAss_]

The idea that sex is a spectrum is supports gender stereotypes. No 2 people will be on the same point on that spectrum. So some males will be more male than others. How do you judge how male someone is? By testosterone? Penis size? Congrats youve just reinvented toxic masculinity

[Madeline Pendleton @JeanGreige]

Even if you believed gender and sex were the same (which they are not), you would be forced to acknowledge gender as a spectrum because we know *biologically* that sex is a spectrum. 1.7% of people are intersex. 1% of Americans are transgender.

[Bender Rodriguez @_ShinyMetalAss_]

@Midwesthomo77 I agree with the man in the video. But it’s silly to think most bisexual men are how you describe them. I’m a gay man in a relationship with a bi man for almost 8 years. There’s no “baggage”. It’s fine.

[Bender Rodriguez @_ShinyMetalAss_]

@rejserin @theasewell05 @HJoyceGender And how far do you take your defense of the "right" to have one's sense of self validated? Must we validate one's beliefs about their race, looks, intelligence? Must I validate Rachel Dolezal's belief that she's black? Must I validate Trump's belief that he's intelligent?

[Bender Rodriguez @_ShinyMetalAss_]

@rejserin @theasewell05 @HJoyceGender So do you believe then that *all* identities are biological then since neurology is a biological process? If someone identifies as French, or a vegan, or a Muslim, those are biological categories simply because the identity comes from the brain?
