No one is stopping you from denying the humanity of trans women, but we are allowed to tell you how insulting and hateful it is.

Recognising that all transwomen are males is not ignoring their humanity. It’s not meeting a male desire.

We’re never going to agree on this. Defining someone over their objection by a painful medical history they had no choice in is extremely dehumanizing.

And ignoring women in order to cater to sad males is extremely dehumanising.

No one is ignoring you.

You’re ignoring women’s voices in order to listen to more men. You’re ignoring women to allow men to explain women’s experiences. You’re silencing women’s voices to allow men to speak some more.

You are talking. Jk Rowling has one of the largest platforms in the world. You aren’t venting silenced.

She received death threats and rape threats for it, and her physically abusive ex husband was given a platform in magazines to say he hit her and was proud.

Wow no silencing here

I am talking and you are insinuating that it’s out of maliciousness and cruelty because it’s female speech about womanhood which does not suit males who wish to own womanhood. That is an attempt to silence.

I am not in any way silencing you or attempting to silence you. I’ve informed you it’s an insult so I am certain you are aware and argued the implications of continuing to use it with the knowledge it is an insult. No one is saying you can’t talk, just that if you knowingly insult someone it just necessarily be from malice. Not that you can’t do it.

You are claiming that women only call males males to be cruel not because women have a lived reality. Do you not hear how absurd that sounds?

Frankly I don’t care if men get insulted when recognised as men, because these men don’t give a shit about their feelings stamping on women’s rights. Males claiming to be women is an insult and yet if we speak about it were the cruel ones.
