selfish era

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

The trans activist outrage that ensues on here whenever I share my belief that jailed women shouldn't be used as validation tools or emotional support props for trans-identified male sex offenders is as revealing as it's predictable.

Such activists can't bring themselves to concede that a man who was convicted of harming women/girls ought not to be incarcerated with the demographic to whom he is a proven danger, because if they do, all their stock arguments ('no sexual predator would bother to pretend to be trans', 'no trans woman has ever harmed a woman in a women's only space', 'there is no danger in making all single sex spaces unisex') are exposed as the lies they are. If they admit that even a single man isn't a woman because he says he is, the entire edifice of gender identity ideology crumbles. This leaves activists who rely on bullying and slogans with nowhere to go but 'you hate all trans people', 'so you're saying all trans people are rapists' and, of course, 'you are causing a trans genocide.'

I think this particular issue also causes conniptions because it threatens the activists' self image. These are people who preen themselves on their kindness and virtue, so acknowledging the truth - that they're indifferent to vulnerable women being assaulted or traumatised - threatens the idea they have of themselves. They therefore double down. The prisoners complaining aren't really afraid of rape or voyeurism or violence at all, they say. They're 'not exactly delicate flowers', as one self-identified empath put it.

If you support putting violent and sexually predatory men into women's prisons, you are knowingly forcing those women to live in fear of, and, in some proven cases, to suffer abuse that many of them will have endured pre-incarceration. You are not kind. You are not righteous. Women have the basic human right not to suffer cruel and unusual punishment. #WomensRightsAreHumanRights

Positioning the fetus as separate from the woman--a relatively modern idea--is part of the reason obstetric violence & maternal mortality is such a pervasive issue; drs who think they're acting in the interest of the fetus feel entitled to violate a woman's autonomy during birth.

Sometimes, I think of myself as a moody person, but then I remember that I laugh and sing in my sleep, so maybe I'm actually doing pretty good.

[Independent Women @IWF]

Powerful & emotional. This is a testament to the devastating impact that a biological male competing in women's sports has on female athletes.

@Riley_Gaines_ shares her story in Virginia in support of the "Fairness in Women's Sports" bill. This is why we must #SaveWomensSports.

Some people have this quality to their voice, and I just know they have mad coffee breath.

[Ben Cooper @bencooper]

There’s two telling points about this:

1: He thinks he should be treated differently because of stereotypical ideas about clothing.

2: A unisex changing room - which is for anyone - isn’t good enough. Ask yourself why.

Any suggestion this is ‘progressive’ is absurd.

[Anna Maria Junus @JunusAnna]

It boggles my mind that after decades of being told to not walk alone at night, lock your doors, don't get into an elevator alone with a strange man, be careful of stairways, watch your drink, carry your keys in your hand, don't go into the park at night...

[gnarlycharz @gnarlycharz]

OK, but Guillermo being pulled at the end of the pride parade in the least ostentatious display as the token gay guy was the most accurate portrayal. 🤣😭 #whatwedointheshadows

[gnarlycharz @gnarlycharz]

@quelizinha @BlytheGetsCross @MrMennoTweets Not me, but kudos to all the brave women who who put themselves out there!

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

Girls’ safety, privacy and dignity is being sacrificed to an incoherent ideology pushed by lobby groups, which gives predatory males easy access to victims. 2/2

Don’t buy women
Don’t sell women
Don’t own women
Don’t pretend to be women
Don’t kill women

Its not that difficult, men.

[Wildfire Whispers @WildfireWhisper]

Dear men-who-think-you’re women,
(And all those who pathetically tow their lines)
I’m done.
I’m done giving you any benefits of any doubts.
I’m done worrying about your “health care,” when I’ve had breasts so big that my back has been injured since I was 19. You think insurance covers that?
Or the scar tissue I’ve got from stem to stern from pushing out a 9 lb baby?
NOPE.
My female body doesn’t get complimentary “affirmation.” I get HEALTHCARE, meaning I’m treated when I am ill or injured.
Same as YOU, you petulant children.
I get LESS than you, in fact. As does every woman.
70c to the dollar DOESN’T just apply to pay, pumpkin.
I am DONE providing you “proof” you just dismiss by calling me stupid, or TERF, or Nazi. (Especially when I’m not the one advocating for gay kids to be sterilized.)
I’m DONE pretending that you are in ANY way oppressed, because “trans rights are human rights”… because that’s bullshit.
HUMAN RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS, and you are friggin humans.
What’s more, you have ALWAYS been counted as such, which is more than we can say as women.
What YOU want are women’s rights, for MEN.
Those rights were not established because of how we dress, or think, or because we had hurt feelings we needed the world to accommodate.
They are established because of our BIOLOGY.
Muscle mass, bone density, lung capacity, grip strength (making it possible for 90% of men to be able to kill 95% of women with your bare fucking hands.)
Biology in the way that WE, women, bear the burdens of REPRODUCTION. Whether or not that is something one woman is capable of makes no difference.
They are burdens YOU DO NOT and CAN NOT EVER bear.
I’m done bending over backwards to be kind to you, when you will call me a slur for anything I say.
I am DONE pretending that you weren’t born with the platinum card of human rights dangling between your entitled legs.
I’m DONE pretending that you are anything but little, pathetic, WEAK men who have found an excuse to be nasty and mean to women, because you can’t get laid by anything but your own right hand, and you’re JUST. SO. MAD. ABOUT. IT.
Grow up. BE A MAN. Stop being fucking cowards trying to find new ways to hide in our skirts and spit in our faces along the way.
And, maybe, just maybe, remember that there is a power in us that you can NEVER attain, and that deep down, in your tiny little malnourished souls, you still fear with everything in you.
Remember that were women are FORCES of Nature.
We are witches. And we are to the point of cursing. Push us too far, and it is the Greatest Mother who will strike you back.
So… STEP. THE FUCK. OFF.
Rethink your life.
Rethink your entitlement.
Because I am DONE trying to spoon feed you through your infantile tantrums.
Grow up.
Or fade away.
There is nothing here your petulance has the capacity to erase.

[Libby Emmons @libbyemmons]

This is the kind of story activists & educators don't want you to know about. 🧵

They want you to believe that there's no difference between boys & girls.

A 12-year-old girl was raped in a school's 'gender neutral' bathroom.

[Independent Women's Voice @IWV]

It's not transphobic to say that men and women are biologically different!

A THREAD: 🧵

[Bugman Hegel @FedPoasting]

A trans identified male was kicked out of the VA women’s clinic when he attempted to use the women’s restroom before leaving.

There was a unisex bathroom right next to it. He refused it.

This isn’t about safety. It’s about violating boundaries. https://t.co/tROnBf0sFQ

[AConcernedParent @AConcernedPare2]

Access to women's single sex spaces is a female birthright, not a "civil right" for men who wish they were women.

I can't believe this is even controversial.

[🟥Willie Ross MD ANT 💚💟💜 @WillietheFly]

@jk_rowling “Be Kind” is only ever a one-way street.
The inch, which if given, leads to the mile being taken.
The “kindness” is perceived as a weakness to be attacked.
Don’t do it.
Don’t “be kind”!

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

Man: no definition needed.
Non-man (formerly known as woman):
a being definable only by reference to the male. An absence, a vacuum where there's no man-ness.

Remember when drag queens were mad at drag kings for appropriating their culture? 🤣
