All this doublethink can get really hard to bear! It makes me feel like I'm going crazy.

In a Twitter conversation about the differences between women and transwomen, I saw a woman say "I know there are differences but pointing out those differences is one way to delegitimatize trans women." So she's conscious of the fact that in order to legitimise transwomen one has to avoid telling the truth.. but she somehow can't make the leap to seeing how that's really unhealthy??

It is not anyone's JOB to legitimize someone's fetish or delusion or power grab. Full stop.

Individually, I can certainly decide that a person requires compassion and kindness, even if I disagree with that person. But, I should never be forced or coerced or required to associate with or lie with my own speech. My beliefs and knowledge of reality are just as important as any other person's.

I still reserve the right to state things plainly about people who I believe are trying to wreck ME. As a woman, I have zero time or energy to do anything but speak in plain terms about biological sex and the societal grooming of children into this ideology and the oppression and subjugation of females to males who want outsize and SEXIST control of females. The Cyclepath and Clymer and any other vocal transidentifying activist? They are attacking ME and WOMEN and CHILDREN. So, I have no reason to extend my kindness or compassion to attackers who are trying to destroy me and mine and people I care about. They are males. They are lying. They are not just "trying to survive" or "need to pee."

Well said. I have no energy left to explain to people that women are human beings and as such have the right to defend ourselves. I'll just jump right over the explanation and go into action.
