I honestly don’t believe these people are trans people. The trans people that I have met in person are incredibly nice, friendly, sweet, and have NEVER tried to push boundaries of any kind. The trans people I have met in person were respectful. These people are only jumping on the trans bandwagon to get the, what they believe are benefits of being a minority, to abuse/harass woman and get away with it because they think since they are also a woman whatever they do is not abuse but is appropriate because “women like it when other women are intimate with them (lesbians)” and so they think identifying as trans will give them the green light to do whatever they want with another WLW and not be called out for it

Claiming to be the opposite sex based on gender feelings seems inherently boundary pushing to me.

The ones that I have met in real life have never pushed the “if you don’t have sex with me, you’re transphobic.” Yet the ones online have. This is from my personal experience. I’m not speaking for everyone, again I’m just relaying my experience, and those that I’ve talked to

You aren't just relaying your experience though. You're making a statement. You said "I honestly don't believe that these people are trans people".

Those beliefs come from experience

Anecdotal evidence. It's the same as saying, "I don't believe men are raping women because all the men I've met are super nice and would never do that." There are people who identify as trans who are caught and arrested for male pattern violence. It's illogical and arrogant for you to determine whether some is or isn't trans based on your feelings from the few interactions you've had with some trans people.

My intention was not to defend anyone based on certain characteristics. Regardless of what positive characteristics a man has, if he rapes someone, then it is rape. Same goes for others.

My point was not to defend a person’s identification, it was to show that you never know who a person says they are because of the anonymous nature of the internet.

There are people who identify as trans who are caught and arrested for male pattern violence.

I’ll need to look more into male pattern violence, but I added a quote from myself:

...anyone can be good or bad, trans women included.

So I agree that a person’s identity should not give them immunity to anything.

It's illogical and arrogant for you to determine whether some is or isn't trans based on your feelings from the few interactions you've had with some trans people.

That’s not the point I was making. I was saying that because of the anonymous nature of the internet, you never know who someone is. I could say I’m a potato that’s been genetically modified to grow limbs which gives me the ability to respond to people.

I'm not sure it's that clear cut: "the nice ones are genuinely trans and the ones I don't like are not trans". I like what I've seen of Blaire White, for example. However, uncomfortable as it is, it would be very difficult to set down in law why Blair should be treated any differently from a TIM who doesn't 'pass' and who struggles to understand boundaries.

I'm super worried about this. But I will still push back against high male homicide rates, mutilation of teen girls, and tims like Emilia Decaudin.

[–]StupidHappyPancakes 6 insightful - 1 fun6 insightful - 0 fun7 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

I hate Decaudin with a burning hot rage, and I hope that one day he explodes into a puff of glitter and disappears forever.

About what?

Context please.
