I've noticed it too. ''Educate yourself'', ''google it'', ''TWAW full stop, no qualifiers, period''. I get that kind of response with sealioning neckbeards because you're genuinely sick of being asked to explain everything to people who won't listen, but EVERYONE gets shut down with the same playbook.

It's been bothering me a lot lately where I've paid more attention - what is their argument? They have a statement, TWAW, and they spew instant knee-jerk hate to any and all questions let alone dissent, but it's been a loooong time since I've seen any attempt at explaining gender ideology. You'd think it warrants an explanation. I can explain sexuality - not well, I'm an idiot after all, but I can.

I see explanations about mental health, racism, capitalism, political spectrums, history, linguistics, absolutely everything, all over the place. They don't even bother explaining dysphoria anymore, the one thing they, on the surface, even have sort of in their favour.

My friend sent me the Meghan Murphy debate today (older): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-yawM1CRWxE

It is long and thorough, but it's still pretty much "I am a woman because I say I'm a woman." The audience sure was pissed though!! Also missed a lot of Meghan's definitions, which they rebutted mostly with "nuh-uh."

Transwomen? More like tautologywomen amirite? (No I am not.)

One thing that was interesting that came out of it was Murphy's opponent telling a member of the audience who did not want her young daughter trapped in protected women's spaces with men that they have a right to BE safe, but no right to FEEL safe. I thought this was interesting in light of the idea that hate speech is violence. If, according to this TiM, no one has a right to FEEL safe, then why can't women just say what we wish about anyone?
