They’re fawning over it because they know Good People denounce transphobes, and JKR Rowling is a transphobe, so they have to do what Good People do.
I’m really starting to appreciate more and more how the Left have created this monster. Left leaning people take a lot of pride in knowing that they are the goodies of society (I should know because I spent my late teens and 20s in that mindset) and they are exactly the ones patting themselves on the back, ushering in this cult and applauding as vulnerable kids sign up.
I was talking to a relative, who was extremely excited and delighted to be working in a school with an openly trans teacher. He thought it was brave and a good way to stand up to traditional right wing ideology! And was patting himself on the back for being so supportive.
I didnt want to get into a row, so said nothing, but .... It is frustrating. I wish someone would openly discuss some of the main issues with the whole trans movement. Green velvet did a great post on the previous thread. comments like: Comments I wish left leaning trans supporters could actually spend some time thinking about!!!
Sex = biological sex. It is immutable in humans
- Your sex defines you as a man or a woman
- Gender = social etiquettes taught to each human sex, varying slightly across the world but generally anything that could be defined as socially masculine or feminine
- Women are oppressed on the basis of their sex in a way men are not (e.g. higher levels of rape, FGM) and our comparative physical weakness is used against us by men, who are physically more powerful than us and have oppressed us for hundreds if not thousands of years
- The male sex is more violent than the female sex, sexually and otherwise, and towards women than vice versa. These statistics are reflected in how a higher proportion of transsexual women are incarcerated for sexual and violent crimes than biological women
- Through trying to insist that there is no difference between a transgender woman and a “cis” or biological woman, and refusing to distinguish on the basis of sex rather than gender, the gender ideology movement is effectively writing over this history, and is obscuring valuable data we need to measure and work against violence against and oppression of women. It also incorrectly insinuates trans women and not trans men experience sex-based oppression in the same way biological women do, which isn’t really true because they are not female.
- This obstructs feminist movements in achieving parity between the sexes. for example workplaces collecting data on women’s access to male-dominated fields will gather skewed data if they do not distinguish via sex but gender instead - eg, trans women are socialised as men growing up and this receive encouragement to go into STEM that biological women do not. If a company does not distinguish between biological women and trans women in its data collection, and many trans women work in STEM roles, it may end up believing it has improved access for biological women when it hasn’t. There are other more nefarious examples of this problem
- Men are generally physically stronger than women, which means that if sports are not separated by sex, women will win infrequently. It also is not safe for women and men to compete in many sports owing to how much stronger men are than women - especially the strongest man vs the weakest woman in a contest
I think sadly there are big differences between generations about these issues.
Younger women in the UK and USA probably have been lucky not to face as much obvious sexual discrimination as previous generations. There are more chances at school and at work for women and men to be equal, and to have equal opportunities. Its not as true elsewhere in the world though!
Medical developments have moved on massively as well, with hormone treatments etc doing incredible things, like enabling older women to have babies, in their 50s or 60s. Or enabling trans genderism.
And traditionally women arent as arguementative, as men, so I would imagine a majority, even now, are less likely to pick a fight and discuss against the prevailing trends. Its now trendy to support trans rights and trans issues, irrespective of the biology and common sense.
I would try and be supportive to anyone with any kind of mental health issue, but... there is a difference to how I behave in public, to how I actually feel in private!
I do wish there was more open discussion of these issues.... instead of the vagueness, that seems to exist.
Who calls women witches, talks nonstop about sex and his penis, thinks the world revolves around him ect.
🟧 because we all know that they get their idea of women through porn (also has a weird obsession with porn titles like MILF)
