TRA's Stance

submitted by NerdyFashionGirl from self.GenderCritical

I don't understand why TRA's are so against their people reading GC veiws, aside from the obvious of course, and still try to claim the 'science supports us' viewpoint. In science, if your hypotisis cannot stand up to modest scrutiny, it's not a good hypothesis and needs to be reworked or thrown out as reasonable. To be fair I've not gotten into it too much with the most hardcore TRA's, not that I'm sure it would be worth it based on how fucking violent they are about everything, but yeah, fucking hot take maybe, whatever I'm over the whole world right now.

It's easy. THey are convinced that reading these views will cause harm. Questioning them is questioning their identity. By extension, that is questioning their right to exist. And that's basically the same as holding the gun in a suicide.

I have too many libfriend

I’ve seen them pushing the idea that we deserved to get banned because we “indoctrinate people.” Bullshit. People should be able to engage with new perspectives and think critically about them. They just know that our standpoint makes sense and resonates with a lot of people.

No one indoctrinated me, I stumbled upon r/gendercritical after watching that behemoth makeup guru come out as trans with the words "when I was young I loved wearing pink and I loved playing with dolls, that's when I knew I was a girl", um no you are not. That sub will be missed, there wasn't a day that went by when I didn't just browse it and read what women had to say.

Those TRAs are projecting so hard. if anything, they're the ones doing indoctrination (e.g. "rapid onset gender dysphoria" in kids)

I don't think it's about fear of self examination quite the opposite. On the surface, you can lump our feelings about safety and appropriate separation in with people who are anti racial segregation. If you say to a person, "do you care about people's safety?" a reasonable person will reply "Of course." If you tell yourself that men who identify as women are women, then why not house them with other women prisoners, or let them into battered women's shelters? Women are encouraged and socialized to put others' feelings before their own, also. I think libfems are genuinely coming from a very loving, kind, and protective place. I am glad so many women are able to feel empathy for others in this world, especially a world that encourages so much cognitive dissonance in women.

You mix that up and you got a stew going, friend. I think some liberal feminists assume what we're saying is the same as anti racial hate or homophobia. I don't want to see a bunch of hateful words about how terrible x ethnic group is.

If you explain it's about your feelings or safety, then they tell us that's a convenient excuse for our bigotry, thereby invalidating our rights and feelings.

How do we break through this?

The modus operandi of a trans activist is that of any other oppressive cult. Consider Scientology manipulation and the trans activist irrationality makes a lot of sense. Anything short of complete trans indoctrination is suppressive conduct that must be annihilated.

I also imagine cluster B & C personality traits would frequent regularly among the transgendered, inhibiting their ability to evolve as adults and think for themselves outside of their safe space - these guys are the poster child for arrested development.

Because everything they believe is based on lies. You have to be fascist and cult-y and insist on slogans and purity when you worship at the Church of Gender Scientology.
