Trans people are far from being accepted by society and suffer real life discrimination, including physical violence, employment discrimination and everyday harassment on the street.

No group suffers - and long has suffered - real life discrimination, physical violence, employment discrimination and everyday harassment on the street to the extent or as unrelentingly as girls & women - all just for being of the female sex.

The situation is better or worse depending on which society & which historical period we're speaking of, but basically girls & women across the board in all countries & eras have been subjected to the most sustained campaign of discrimination, physical violence, employment injustice & street harassment.

Yes, black men in the US are targeted & subject to brutality by the police, & they are discriminated against, as they were in South Africa under apartheid. But black men in the US & in SA now and in the past have targeted black women and subjected black women to violence, brutality & discrimination as well as street harassment.

Jesus, look at what Ike Turner did to Tina & the attitudes that male black civil rights activists like Stokely Carmichael had towards women of all colors. From the accounts of Nelson Mandela's life I've read & seen on film, even he appears to have subjected the two women who eventually became his wives to sexual harassment on the street before they agreed to date him.

Jews in various time periods & different countries/cultures have been enslaved, discriminated against, demonized, harassed on the streets & subjected to torture & genocide just for being Jews. But Orthodox Judaism privileges boys & men and allows them to subjugate, oppress, stigmatize, demonize & discriminate against girls & women.

And so on. I could give many other examples...

But never, ever have women's rights advocates of any era taken to public platforms to threaten that unless male-supremacist societies mend their ways and start being nice to us, girls & women are going to start committing suicide in droves... and when that happens, it will be male supremacists' fault!

In actuality, in response to misogyny, patriarchy & the bleak, narrow realities of their lives, female people around the world probably commit more acts of self harm than any other group - from EDs & cutting in the affluent West to women in Afghanistan setting themselves on fire to escape arranged marriages & male sex abuse & violence.

But it wouldn't occur to women's rights advocates anywhere to try weaponizing all this self-harm in the way that Mermaids & the the genderists do in the case of the sacred caste of trans. Coz adopting such crybully tactics would require women to be convinced that the world sees us as worth listening to, believing we possess the power to induce guilt & compliance in others & the world at large, being utterly convinced we have inherent rights that entitle us to get far better treatment on demand, having considerable or enormous self-esteem, & believing that the world at large gives a shit about our pain & whether we're dead or alive.
