Random thought re: "vulnerable populations"

submitted by [deleted] from self.GenderCritical

Random thought regarding Reddit (and other social media platforms):

Wouldn't women coming from conservative/poor/war-torn countries, who speak English as a second language, be considered a "vulnerable" group in terms of the entire Reddit subscriber population?

Wouldn't this whole TRANS-pronoun-policing cause significant distress for them, as it's difficult enough to learn English pronouns as it is, let alone "Trans-approved" pronouns? Wouldn't this policing cause them to be afraid to post, for fear of being banned or harassed? Couldn't that be considered discriminatory and/or non-inclusive? Just saying. This whole tone-policing by the transactivists is very heavily biased towards "Western" cultural values.

Part of me is bringing this up because I know there were a lot of women on the now-banned subs who were from India, Iran, China, Croatia, Serbia, etc.. Some endured some extremely traumatic life events. Many were proficient in English, but obviously not "perfect" and would usually preface their posts with "I don't speak English as my first language".

I mean, yes. But you are forgetting that Reddit hates women.

They do not give a fuck about vulnerable populations beyond leveraging the label to benefit themselves

Well, you have men transplaining and scolding an FGM victim about FGM, and men in dresses assaulting women in shelters. How much more contempt for vulnerable women does one need to witness...

"Vulnerable" is only valid if it benefits men. Women don't count unless they act as stepstools for men and men who think they're women. That's their only use in the world. To disagree makes you a bigoted stepstool. To agree is to be allowed to exist, for the meantime, to serve your designated function.

Women coming from less "woke" regions of the world generally don't buy into this trans bullshit narrative to begin with. They are much more aware of the sex differences between men and women and the oppression of women based on their sex.

Fuck, I'm American and I've "endured some extremely traumatic life events." LOTS of women in the US experience horrific abuse. LOTS of people, period, experience horrific abuse and terror in the US. It may not be on the level of those other countries - but then again, it may be.
