It's terrifying how successfully the trans movement has sold society on what is essentially a thinly rebranded men's rights activism peddling homophobia and regressive stereotyping/sex stereotype conformity to the masses.

I keep thinking about this.

They behave exactly as men do. As women, we are socialized to play well with others, share, play nice, etc., etc.

I am generalizing, of course, but it is our socialization.

Little by little, the TIMS demanded more and more of everyone. Language changes and pronoun changes had now somehow morphed into not only do they demand that we agree that they are women but that we, as actual xx chromosome females, must also be muscled out of anything female.

Including subreddits.

Next, Twitter? Fill in the blank___.

They simply are behaving as males have been socialized, and as females, we ignored all of our gut feelings and red flags.

EDIT: Perhaps, I am really projecting how I feel. I always had discomfort with it but I saw the abuse heaped on women if they dared to speak up, so I talked myself out of my discomfort over the years leading up to today.

And they got away with their demands by constantly saying "what's the harm? we're just asking for respect". In a lot of ways, they used the success and the same arguments made by the LGB movement to gain traction in society, and we all told ourselves we were doing the right thing by being accepting. But LGB people never made unscientific claims about their own identity; it was simply that people should have the right to be romantically or sexually involved with the same sex. That was it.

Meanwhile, the trans movement was founded on delusion, and then more and more delusional demands until trans ideology was built up to where it is now: a ridiculous house of cards, relying on society to go along with its lies, capable of telling people homophobia is progressive and validating, and that women are not allowed to have their own space, their own sporting events, and that science that shows sexual dimorphism is literally bigotry.

I am male, and I have raged at my friends when they make casual jokes about how JK Rowling is a transphobe, and don't realize how infuriating it is to hear them mansplaining how her feelings are transphobic and therefore invalid even though the lot of them haven't even bothered to read her essay. A lot of gay men are thankfully waking up to the fact that lesbians are in real danger from the movement, but there's still a lot of gay men who haven't realized that they're extremely fortunate that purely because of the sex they were born as they're not currently in the crosshairs of the transgender movement's ire, and that women are actively under attack by a well-organized group of delusional heterosexual males. It's fucking infuriating to see heterosexual men shaming lesbians for not wanting "girldick" of all things, or a women's shelter having dead rats nailed to their door and defunded because they specifically do not shelter people of the male sex, for the sake of the women they're serving. The entire movement that was built up during the Stonewall era has been invaded by a parasite that's going to tear us apart and set the gay rights movement back centuries at this rate!

Thank you from a gay woman
