Targeting / HarassmentSunday Times: "Trans activism is on the retreat. Let’s hope Professor Stock is these bullies’ last victim"

Refreshingly blunt. I am sure the snits are a-flying today.

Serious politicians (and Keir Starmer) who spout homilies about how trans people are society’s most marginalised seem not to have noticed that an awful lot of direct action by the trans movement consists of shouting at women (and often, as in the case of Stock, lesbians, who bear the double brunt of sexism and homophobia) in the hope they’ll shut up and go away.

The sexist harassment of Kathleen Stock shows what trans activism has become: a cover for the grimmest misogynists. Time to stop indulging them in their abuse of women

It's really telling than trans activist responses to this are split between "she deserved it" (never any evidence for why she deserved it) and "this is smearing trans activism" (by accurately describing things trans activists have done). Sometimes, ingeniously, both in one tweet

Btw, I got a very sad DM this week from a transwoman who had attended a "trans rights" protest and been horrified and depressed by the sexist abuse on show. This "activism" is letting down the exact people it claims to be working on behalf of

Helen Joyce:

I can honestly say I’ve never seen an interest group as poorly served by the lobbyists purporting to represent them than trans people are by transactivists

Mia from that Twitter feed is my new heroine. It's really hard to find Canadian women speaking about this especially if they live in Ontario. You guys don't understand how crazy this province is with nonsense. She's right men and women aren't a costume you can just wear because today you feel handsome and alpha or pretty and witty and gay. Thanks to the left mafia acting like children especially over the transgender issue bullying for lgb youth is up I think an outlet said 52 percent(remind me to find the report from Kansas city 9 news) women and our rights? Men want to strip everything from us because of left leaning women abusing our ability to be over empathetic with people and not sticking our foot down when it was called for. Trust me as someone who's briefly walked in female to female discord servers I have a surprising new found sense of heart for biological lesbian women vs transgender trenders.

I've noticed in my wanderings on Twitter lately that "Canadian" seldom comes up in women's bios. Could just be the way I'm finding new accounts to follow / Twitter is suggesting them but I did notice. (Most who are against trans ideology are in the UK, that I've come across. Or the US.)

You can PM me any Canadian women you follow who are active and I'll check them out.

Truth I don't have Twitter anymore. I made one final account and then when that was gone(and went rather quickly when I followed it's a Gundam) I left. I just read from the link. Yeah as for Canada in general? We exist but we're silenced especially if you live in Ontario or Quebec.

Honestly, people have been saying "transactivism is on the retreat" since back when I used to lurk the old reddit subs and yet... it's bigger than ever.

Have you seen the news in the last three weeks from the UK? Much of it is noted on our sub here.

It is positive news, but I'm just wary. I thought we were set with the Kiera Bell case, but it was overturned.

Agreed, there is no sense in attaching to hope, because that's just a set-up for disappointment. Instead, just keep working. That is the only thing that will help, after all.

I'm worried about "transtrenderism"/AGP being denounced, but HSTS being kept as "real transsexuals" and the horrific "transition" of homosexuals and GNC people suspected to be homosexual being continued and celebrated.

but HSTS being kept as "real transsexuals"

Not sure I'm following. What's your worry about with that group? If they aren't harassing anyone or trying to get laws changed or created in ways that compromise other people's rights I don't see an issue.

Homosexual transsexualism is insanely homophobic.

It's evil to surgically "alter" (the word I want to use is banned) homosexuals, removing their testicles and turning their penises inside out and not allowing them to heal, which makes them very prone to infection, or removing their breasts and arm skin and sewing up their vaginas, and altering their bodies permanently with hormones. These procedures shorten their lives and worsen the quality of their lives, all because society/their family/the person themselves isn't comfortable with a GNC homosexual person just existing as they are. The practice should be banned and any doctor who has ever participated in it should rot in jail for eternity.

Also, they do have their own laws in effect such as the right to forge documents, for example putting the wrong sex marker on their driver's license. This is a homophobic lie and is dangerous for the person's health. If a HSTS gets in a massive car accident and is unconscious and needs medication, the doctors will give them the dose that corresponds to the sex marker on their driver's license. I know someone who almost died like that.

I'm referring, obviously (btw, please make fewer assumptions about where people are coming from, here; remember, you are still new and know a lot less about the people of this sub than you seem to assume you do, or their knowledge or intelligence), to people who have received enough support and counseling to be reasonably said to have made an informed, healthy choice for themselves. Not victims of other people's unethical behavior. I also don't support declarations of the opposite biological sex for the reason you cited. But I'm referring to people just trying to figure themselves out without doing harm to others.

It goes without saying, but I will say it here anyway, that I don't support people being exploited or harmed. In either direction.

[–]7874 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Please point out exactly where I made any assumptions about you. Because it didn't happen. Yet you're already being quite rude.

I think I made it clear, but from your response, it seems like you didn't get my point, so I'll restate it and try to be more clear this time.

I am worried about the ridiculousness of "transtrenderism" lending credibility to "actual" transsexualism, which is a highly evil and destructive practice to homosexuals.
