An analogy to explain my dissent from trans activism. If I could take back everyday of my support, I would. I never thought I’d live long enough to regret my Empathy and Compassion first values. It can be dangerous. My new mantra: don’t be so open minded that my brain falls out.
Gay people fought to prove that we could participate fully in ordinary society. Woke activists now treat ordinary society itself as oppressive. That is not the continuation of gay rights. It is a rejection of its success.
@waltermasterson Everyone does the cheek swab. Nobody is targeted. And for the sake of everything good in this world, stop comparing black women to men.
@waltermasterson Stop trying to gaslight women to allow men into women's sport by framing it as "dangerous" not to. Peak disingenuous trans industry tactic.
@CrunchAlias@coccinellanovem Exactly. Constantly screaming about how sex and gender are different while also somehow making our female SEX based rights about their “identities” 😑
@Johnny_Replies@founding_ideals@Bossy_Leah Yes. We are talking about sex. Fantastic that you agree that this is about female SEX based rights and fuck all about “gender.” They’re males. They can play with the other males.
@4v0k4d0 🫶🏾If I can, anyone can. It’s the only thing that keeps me going after all these years of dissent. But I know the tides have REALLY turned now and it’s just a matter of time before all of sanity is restored.
Sometimes I sit and think about the fact that I lived in Cuba for a University study abroad program, witnessed first hand, the horror and reality of Communism and I STILL, somehow, fell for the DSA propaganda years later… 🤔
@Women___Exist "No shit (their definition is esoteric). They get to pick and choose which parts of womanhood they wanna appropriate...they have no idea of what it's like to be born a woman in a society that treats men and women differently."
All.of this.
The fact that a man's emotional and psychological stability hinges on the full compliance of women, is one of the worst possible reasons to allow him to bypass women's safeguarding and boundaries.
@rentennae It's not ok to ignore the rights and boundaries of people around you because you believe boundaries based on sex hadn't ought to apply to you because you feel you don't fit the stereotypical personality of that sex and have taken steps to hide or disguise your sex.
Unsurprisingly, dressing up as a woman, performing sexualised stereotypes of women and coercing everyone to pretend he's a woman, does not remove a man's propensity to commit sexual violence against women.
Trans women will never give up the fight to participate in female sports. They will get through this because they are strong. Disproportionately strong. Almost unfairly strong. It's actually almost a crime how strong they are.
