The end of all transphobia.

That's a good job regurgitating that cliche, well done. Virtue points for you.

Curious to hear your perspectives on misogyny & homophobia & the more difficult topics that emerge when "trans rights" collide with reality.

Trans rights versus womens rights: pick one.

Trans rights are based in reality and trans rights are women’s rights since trans women are women.

Edit: removed name calling

No personal attacks. This includes insults, inquiring into a person's appearance or passability, name-calling, and accusations of bigotry/transphobia/fetishism

I mean I didn’t say that they were a bigot only unnamed people who believe such things

Unnamed people like all gc posters here? Real slick.

I mean it’s very common for you all to accuse tra of being misogynistic. Do you come down on those people too?

Gc tend to provide explanations of why the person is being misogynistic. You’ve never indicated why it’s bigoted other than “TWAW, it just is”.

Why is it bigotry to disagree with TWAW? Why is it bigotry to say females have rights that males cannot impede regardless of gender identity? What human rights are being denied to transgender people? Is recognition of gender identity a human right?

So if I can provide justifications I can call someone a bigot, or do they also need to be justifications that you agree with? Also the rules don’t mention any of this “provide justifications” business but rather seem to flat out disallow accusations of bigotry all together. Might want to change the rules to be more clear if that isn’t the case.

Take it up with the mods if you feel you need to be able to say people are bigoted here.

I don’t have to agree with it, it just needs to exist and be rational.

What is unreasonable about gc concerns when there is proof of harm from letting in males? (As the majority of humanity understand the term, not a small faction of white americanised western people)

What is unreasonable about our desire to preserve language that describes only adult human females?

What is unreasonable about not caring that people have gender identities?

I think any justifications you provide would need to be based on more than tra consensus and your personal beliefs.

But yeah, personally, for me specifically, if you could prove that I’m a bigot I’d accept you calling me one. So not necessarily things I agree with, but specifically things rooted in fact, as opposed to “you’re transphobic because tras agree you are” and also not “you’re transphobic simply for not believing in my ideology”

The sub has the rule Houseplant posted as well as a “no misogyny” rule. There’s no “you can’t call out misogynistic comments” rule
