This is one of the most bad faith takes I've seen on this, and I've seen some pretty bad ones.
I'm not going to argue on this. I mean, that whole post is about how there really is no more arguing to be done here, you either value people's lives or you value personal entertainment. You've gone for the latter. You just don't want to admit it so you spew out this garbage to justify it to yourself.
If you want to play the game, just play the stupid game. It's not like anyone is going to physically stop you. But for goodness sake, shut up about it. You're all just making yourselves look even worse.
BTW your transmedicalism and antisemitism are showing. Thought you might want to know
People keep searching for ways to argue that JK Rowling has always been a horrible person deep down as a way of explaining her recent behaviour.
But here’s the thing: that’s probably not true at all.
Pretending it is discounts the harsher, scarier truth: that even decent, well-meaning people can be radicalised by dangerous, hateful, predatory groups, and given enough time they can become truly hideous versions of their former selves.
It can happen to me. It can happen to you. It can happen to any of us, given the right mix of circumstances. And over the past few years, we’ve seen it happen to one of the most famous children’s authors of our age.
Nobody is immune.
remember kids the answer to the question "why do trans people always target WOMEN & WOMENS things?" is "because its what cis people care about"
if you want to demonize a group, make them Scary (oft masculinized) Predators who are Coming For Innocent Women (objects to be protected). the "trans issue" crops up where cis people MAKE it an issue.
"men's healthcare" is an exclusionary term for healthcare needed by a lot of people. "father" should not be our only term for people who can impregnate others. but its so much easier to rally the troops to protect the weak, innocent, defenseless property, so thats where the money is.
oh also: this applies to stuff like "why are there no BI GAYS?" which is based in the same logic. there ARE and have always been bisexual gay men, and there continue to be. the only reason you have only heard about bi lesbians is because gay men's spaces just are not as defensive about Invaders To The Identity, even if that prejudice still exists on some level sometimes. this is such an annoying thing to hear because its said like some intelligent statement and its just biased information
The most telling part is that trans people can’t even defend their ideology without resorting to repetitive slogans. I mean, come on—this is the identity you claim you'd die for, remember? “Death before detransition,” and all that. But then again, it’s probably easier to die for it than to actually defend it, because—newsflash—trans ideology doesn’t really hold up under debate or scientific scrutiny.
Well then I guess according to you Im dense because I don't understand why it is confusing that I want it to be known my account is a safe space when reblogging a post made by a terf. Maybe Im just not far down the rabbit hole cause I have no idea why I would get cancelled for that or why you feel the need to point it out. I wouldn't say I'm confused but I do find it questionable that you feel the need to point this out or call me dense, while I won't argue with that, I don't understand why it matters to you.
Basically, some honesty behind your intentions would be nice. Even though I can guess and assume it comes from you wanting to pick a fight, I'd like to start trying to give people the benefit of the doubt.
Women are instilled from an early age with a deep shame regarding our female anatomy.
We're told our genitals smell like fish, that "roast beef curtains," are hilarious and a sign that a woman is a sl*t, that our natural pubic hair is offensive. That periods are disgusting and shameful, and should be kept secret. We aren't even properly taught about our own anatomy- a lot of women don't know until later in life that the vulva and vagina are separate, and that the urethra is not the same opening as the vaginal opening.
There's hardly any research into female-specific medical conditions. Nearly 10% (1 in 10) women are afflicted with endometriosis, yet there's literally no research on what causes it. PCOS is also under-researched. It's all shoved under the rug, too stigmatised to be discussed.
While boys can talk freely about their dick and balls, the words "vagina" or "vulva," are still treated like a humiliating joke at best, and a vulgar obscenity at worst.
Men talk with pride about their genitals. To "grow a set" = to start acting tough and assertive. To "have big balls" = to be brave. "Big dick energy" = to be a charismatic "alpha" that commands attention.
Meanwhile, there are no positive cultural connotations regarding the vulva/vagina. Even "serving cunt" is used as a tongue-in-cheek memetic joke.
I think it's very predatory that shame, disgust and aversion about having a vagina/vulva is marketed as a sign that a girl/woman is dysphoric. That it should just be censored and called a "front hole" or a "bonus hole," to avoid the stigma. It's a cultural by-product of the crushing misogyny imbedded into society.
MOST women grow up feeling shame about having a vulva/vagina, and have to put conscious effort into unlearning that shame.
Preach!! I'd add harassment to this as well though. Nobody deserves to be harassed.
Female cops don't deserve rape
Tradwifes don't deserve rape
Conservative women don't deserve rape
Fascist women don't deserve rape
""Terfs"" do not deserve rape
MRA women don't deserve rape
Disagreeable women in general do not deserve rape
No woman no matter her shitty ideology deserves to be sexually abused
Once it's okay to excuse rape based on ideology sooner or later you'll meet someone who doesn't agree with you.
Radfems and terfs will get so incredibly weird when you talk about trans people. I have had a radfem get very angry about me saying I support trans women and start talking to me about trans women in prison raping other prisoners, like that’s an insane leap. We weren’t even talking about prisons at all. And first of all, that’s a bad thing to happen, everyone can agree. Rape is horrific under any possible circumstance. And I haven’t done any research on that exact topic, I am not an expert, I don’t know of any specific examples but that doesn’t actually matter. Gender isn’t a factor in the level of ‘badness’ of assault, it’s equally bad. This hypothetical rapist trans woman or even real rapist trans women has literally nothing to do with the validity of all trans women. Rapists in prison shouldn’t be allowed to be in situations where they can rape anyone. The prison system is flawed! I don’t have a solution! I am a random person with opinions! My opinion is very simple, rape is evil, rapists should be kept away from victims. And that opinion has nothing at all to do with my opinion that trans women are women.
This is not a well formulated thoughtfully crafted post, this is an annoyed rambling mess.
This user is anti-TERF, reblog if your blog is against trans exclusionary radfems
Some redditors: the reddit hivemind will downvote you if you don't have the same opinions. This is oppression.
Also those exact same ones: trans aren't real. gay is a sin. it's harder come out as republican than gay. What is asexual? Aren't those just incels?
On a more real note, I honestly don't see how people get upset over fake internet points. You upvote stuff you like and you downvote stuff you don't. That's how it works. Don't get mad if the majority downvotes your terf ass.
Hey gender crits please interact. I’d like to know what your doing on tumblr.
