Do heterosexual men saying trans women are women realize that by saying it, if they refuse to have sex with a trans women, they'll be seen as transphobes, or could be called gay by trans women, and that if they accept, they're actually gay ?
[it's a funny joke, right?]
Did you know every woman who won Best Actress at this award show has played a prostitute, with many winning for that role? What does it say about the biggest film industry in the world, with the largest export, and the people who work for it?
@jk_rowling@KristofferPhilp This is just another way for men to oppress women.
I think a whole lot of them secretly hate women and get a thrill out of taking away our rights.
Some have gender dysphoria, while others are just predators.
You’ve asked me several questions on this thread and accused me of avoiding answering, so here goes.
I believe a woman is a human being who belongs to the sex class that produces large gametes. It’s irrelevant whether or not her gametes have ever been fertilised, whether or not she’s carried a baby to term, irrelevant if she was born with a rare difference of sexual development that makes neither of the above possible, or if she’s aged beyond being able to produce viable eggs. She is a woman and just as much a woman as the others.
I don’t believe a woman is more or less of a woman for having sex with men, women, both or not wanting sex at all. I don’t think a woman is more or less of a woman for having a buzz cut and liking suits and ties, or wearing stilettos and mini dresses, for being black, white or brown, for being six feet tall or a little person, for being kind or cruel, angry or sad, loud or retiring. She isn't more of a woman for featuring in Playboy or being a surrendered wife, nor less of a woman for designing space rockets or taking up boxing. What makes her a woman is the fact of being born in a body that, assuming nothing has gone wrong in her physical development (which, as stated above, still doesn't stop her being a woman), is geared towards producing eggs as opposed to sperm, towards bearing as opposed to begetting children, and irrespective of whether she's done either of those things, or ever wants to.
Womanhood isn't a mystical state of being, nor is it measured by how well one apes sex stereotypes. We are not the creatures either porn or the Bible tell you we are. Femaleness is not, as trans woman Andrea Chu Long wrote, ‘an open mouth, an expectant asshole, blank, blank eyes,’ nor are we God’s afterthought, sprung from Adam’s rib.
Women are provably subject to certain experiences because of our female bodies, including different forms of oppression, depending on the cultures in which we live. When trans activists say 'I thought you didn't want to be defined by your biology,' it’s a feeble and transparent attempt at linguistic sleight of hand. Women don't want to be limited, exploited, punished, or subject to other unjust treatment because of their biology, but our being female is indeed defined by our biology. It's one material fact about us, like having freckles or disliking beetroot, neither of which are representative of our entire beings, either. Women have billions of different personalities and life stories, which have nothing to do with our bodies, although we are likely to have had experiences men don't and can't, because we belong to our sex class.
Some people feel strongly that they should have been, or wish to be seen as, the sex class into which they weren't born. Gender dysphoria is a real and very painful condition and I feel nothing but sympathy for anyone who suffers from it. I want them to be free to dress and present themselves however they like and I want them to have exactly the same rights as every other citizen regarding housing, employment and personal safety. I do not, however, believe that surgeries and cross-sex hormones literally turn a person into the opposite sex, nor do I believe in the idea that each of us has a nebulous ‘gender identity’ that may or might not match our sexed bodies. I believe the ideology that preaches those tenets has caused, and continues to cause, very real harm to vulnerable people.
I am strongly against women's and girls' rights and protections being dismantled to accommodate trans-identified men, for the very simple reason that no study has ever demonstrated that trans-identified men don't have exactly the same pattern of criminality as other men, and because, however they identify, men retain their advantages of speed and strength. In other words, I think the safety and rights of girls and women are more important than those men's desire for validation.
I sincerely hope that answers your questions. You may still disagree, but as I hope this shows, I’m more than happy to have this debate.
@Rothensenflamme Pourquoi ai-je l'impression que tout ceux qui disent que Cazarre n'est pas terrible là, c'est parce qu'ils se sentent concernés...
Cette chanson est immense !

@Asperwolff@ilovepreserves@Alisdisgrace If transwomen are so afraid to go to the men's toilets, they should and pee at home instead of being discriminatory and misogynistic.
@BlueArthropoda All supporters of legalizing prostitution say this but look at Germany where it's legal:
"87% of the women in prostitution reported having been exposed to physical violence, 82% to emotional violence, 92% to sexual harassment, 59% to sexual violence"

@Grunt_@OhOceaneOh Ça met du temps à pousser jusqu'au diamètre nécessaire tandis que le pot n'a pas besoin de temps pour atteindre le bon diamètre... 😉
@le_chaman C'est surtout que ces parents le feront selon leurs convictions personnelles. C'est bien d'avoir des enseignements neutres sur des sujets comme la sexualité et ses risques, le racisme, etc...
@teurfswertPerf Pas exactement, c'est la magie de la carte illimité. Et quand on voit autant de films que ce que le faisait à l'époque, une place, ça me coûtait quelques centimes...
@teurfswertPerf Je ne parlais que de la presse moi. Les seules valables quoi que vous en pensiez. Les premières critiques presse sont dithyrambiques, notamment celle du Parisien...
