Articles like "Lesbians are transphobic for refusing to date TIMs" are popping up in my country

submitted by AdmiralPangolin from self.GenderCritical

The title explains the gist of it I suppose. Articles such as the one described in the title are starting to appear in my native language by propagators of the TRA narrative. Those said articles aren't anything new, they are mix of posts/articles from the English speaking internet and this is how I recognized them. I suppose that I've encountered them back in the r/GC days. The text was utterly familiar, if anyone wants a link I'll send it to them via PM. It could be that they've mixed up a bunch of Riley J Dennis transcripts with everything else that goes in line with "lesbians are transphobic for not including TIMs in their dating pool".

It's one thing to read it in a sense like "okay this is happening in Canada, I'm sure we still have time to correct it..." but no. Reading it in my native language made me depressed in a way. I mean I come from a 2nd world country where stuff like gender isn't really the "go to" topic for anyone outside these circles. But reading it in my native language that I as a lesbian should examine my prejudices against TIMs and give them a chance because they (clearly) are women too seems disgusting even though I've read it countless of times in English.

And the thing is I feel powerless. And the interesting bit is that my close knit group of friends - they all dismiss the TRA narrative and support me and what GC stands for. However when I take a glance at the bigger picture I can't help it but feel disappointed. Me and my friends, we aren't hot-shots in the organizations which propagate this agenda, the hot-shots at the top (and sadly most of them are women) are pushing this garbage. And it's sad to say the least.

That's why I'm looking at this from a "long run" perspective. Maybe now they are just marginalized, semi-silent even. But as time goes by they will get their tentacles into legislature and will pressure whichever government holds power to change the laws according to what they desire. It's a long way away, at least five years, yet I am confident that when the time comes, more GC people will appear (including me) and that we will fight whatever legislature they'll try to put in motion to the Supreme Court.

Nobody is owed sex, nobody. Anybody who tries to coerce women into having sex purely for ideological purposes IS a misogynist. I repeated: NOBODY IS OWED SEX, for whatever reason. When it comes to intimate relationships, any politically correct consideration is just void and irrelevant.

It would be easier to link to the source of these articles so that a proper rebuttal can be written.

And probably a rapist too, if not in deed then in spirit, which is just as bad.

You want me to PM it to you? Cause it's not in English... And yeah my first thought was EXACTLY that one, NO ONE IS OWED SEX.

Start fighting now.

If I (and other, especially older, American women) had known five years ago what we know now - that there are nefarious, extremely well-funded forces behind the "harmless" gender movement, we would have pulled the fire alarm and stopped the political takeover as it started.

Instead, in the US, the trans lobby has already captured the politicians, the courts, the media, corporations, medical associations etc., and we women are going to have to spend decades getting our rights back, if we can get them back at all.

FIGHT. ORGANIZE. SPEAK OUT. I wish I had.

Second this. Feminists are struggling everywhere because we’ve been taken by surprise. The UK probably organised soon enough- just (if we had a Labour govt it would have been too late). So wherever you are- get going ASAP

British feminists are my sheroes. And I think that British feminists will continue to be a source of strength and inspiration for women worldwide as we wake up and demand our rights back. Thank you!

I wish I had too. I thought it was just the random TIM. I didn't realise it was a whole army.

It's not just an army, it's an extremely well-funded GLOBAL lobby attacking women's rights/safety/sports, children's health, parental rights, free speech and science.

Few things are more personal and private than a person's sex life. That's why Trans Demands Activists are determined to violate that part of a woman's life. This is extremist misogyny. They seek to violate and destroy women, plain and simple.

I hope that your country is still "backward" (meaning not "woke" -- as they tell us progress is being delusional!) enough to have freedom of expression to state the obvious: men are not women! You need to oust that poison now before it takes hold. Trans Demands is a human rights violation pretending to be a civil rights issue. Put your foot down hard. Don't let them make any inroads. Men of all stripes remain MEN.

“Lesbians are transphobic for refusing to date TIMs" is just bullshit, homophobic propaganda. Full stop.

Be vocal in your LGBT communities that this kind of homophobic rhetoric within the community is unacceptable. Consider writing an article in your own language emphasizing that if everyone in LGBT is going to get along and work together, there is no place for homophobia in trans activism. At the end of the day, there is nothing wrong with only wanting to lick pussy.

"And men are transphobic for refusing to date a transwoman who still has a beard and a ladypenis".

Make sure you mention that. Then ask, why is it only lesbians who are told who they must have sex with?

I'm sorry you're dealing with this. Sounds like you've been watching what's been happening in other parts of the world? Then you know what happens if you don't dig in and push back.

You need to start fighting it now because the trans ideology is very pro men and misogynistic so men and the powerful who have nothing to do with trans people love to promote it.

Set up anon accounts if you are worried to put your name to this but you do need to take action personally. No one else is going to come and save you.

They're just lesbophobic bigots. And the only thing that's "clear" is that they say they are women. It's anything but clear that they are women.
