we can be valuable in discussing feminism

That’s exactly the point, we don’t think you can be valuable. If anything you’re a liability and hurting feminism.

For instance as a young professional, there’s been a real push in recent years by young people for a more casual work environment. For many women, it means no make-up, no skirts, no fancy blouses or high heels to work, just jeans, t-shirts and sneakers. While women are saying “no more make up, skirts, and high heels”, trans women are saying the opposite! that if you see someone wearing make-up and a skirt at work, it means they’re a woman. While women are saying “we don’t want to be treated like women, an equal society is where men and women are treated equally”, you have trans women screaming they “just want to be treated like women”. As you can see, our objectives are conflicting. The gender roles women are working to dismantle, trans people are relying on them and want to hold them up, in order to “affirm their identities” We are not on the same team!

Nice comment there.

FFS nobody is making heels and makeup illegal. They can wear them and a pronoun badge, no biggie.

Why would a pronoun badge be required?
