Sweet young woman who tried to reason w trans activists can't figure out why they're still mean to her: "Trans activists are telling me to eat glass and saying they hope I get raped and murdered. I am not even transphobic. My crime is only calling vulvas “female genital anatomy.”

One significant moment of clarity for me on this whole topic was when a realized the truly amazing depth and breadth of trans activist goals. They want to change the definitions and concepts of sex and gender and everything related to it for everyone on the entire planet. And they want you punished if you don't go along with it. Think about that for a minute.

When I was involved in gay activism, we just wanted to live our lives without being harassed. We could have our gay world over here, and you can have your straight world over there. (Yes, there was the wedding cake case, but even gay people were divided on whether or not that kind of thing was a good idea.)

In contrast, gender ideologues intend to change and police the way everyone is allowed to talk about or conceptualize EVERYTHING related to sexual anatomy or sexual identity. It goes far beyond anything the LGB ever asked for. Women cannot talk about their own bodies and female reproductive health in general without being attacked.

If someone talks about husbands and wives, it doesn't occur to me to get upset because I understand that we live in a world made largely by and for heterosexual people. I don't scream, "WHAT ABOUT HUSBANDS AND HUSBANDS???" Not everything has to be about me all the time.

For gender ideologues, it does. If you are not thinking about and "centering" them all the time, they will threaten you or report you.

Indeed, on the cake thing, I was supportive of the baker. He doesn't want to bake your cake: so what, go to another baker. And, honestly, I'd rather my gay wedding cake be baked by somebody who's supportive of my marriage, not somebody who's doing it because they're being forced.

I felt the same. Like i'd rather give my money to someone who is happy to make my cake.

Also if someone feels uncomfortable who am i to force them not be able to have boundaries. I wouldn't want someone thinking they were going to eternal damnation in hell because they were forced to bake my cake. It's mental but they believe it and i'm sure that is scary and stressful.

That is such a wonderfully compassionate take. I never thought about it like that.

[–]IridescentAnaconda 7 insightful - 1 fun7 insightful - 0 fun8 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

I'm of the opinion they can refuse to bake me a cake for .. any .. reason .. at .. all (eternal damnation or not). Who the fuck am I to tell them what to do?

Plus this is what it looked like at Masterpiece Cakeshop preparing said cake.

Me too! He could spit in it or worse. Get the caterer or a friend to bake it. I actually think the cake affair set gay acceptance back.

I actually think the cake affair set gay acceptance back.

Just from a public relations point of view, it was a stupid move. If anti-discrimination laws were going to be tested, it should have been on something like someone being denied medical care, something serious. Not a cake for fuck's sake.

[–]BEB[S] 7 insightful - 1 fun7 insightful - 0 fun8 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

Or being denied access to a dying life partner.

I think that if the US Equality Act passes, it's going to set gay acceptance back a lot. You're probably old enough to remember the "Slippery Slope" argument about gay rights. Well, once little Madysyn is battered on the soccer field by a 6'2" bruiser who calls himself Chloe, who then goes on to flash his erect dick in Madysyn's locker room, there's going to be hell to pay. I don't know why more gays and lesbians are so blind to the damage the TQ + are doing to their own movement.

A lot of the LGB, especially the younger ones, are totally indoctrinated with the "Trans women of color threw the first brick at Stonewall" and other such ideas and genuinely think that trans people have always been at the core of LGB activism. Hell, lots of women are out championing undermining women's sex-based rights. And many women and LGB who are not indoctrinated are too scared to speak out.

Radical feminists were some of the first to sound the alarm on this, but I think they may have made one strategic error. They didn't realize that straight non-trans men would be their natural allies, more so than liberal feminists. I think with the Superstraight trend, we see that a lot of thoroughly decent non-trans men who didn't realize what was going on are ready to come to the rescue.

I agree with all your comments.

I'm one of the older, 2nd Wave feminists who was cruising along, living life, thinking that at least some of the major battles to let women lead free lives had been won, when a few things happened: a young lesbian I am very close to "came out" with a bunch of her private school friends as "gender fluid/transgender" and Bruce Jenner was named a WOMAN of the Year. I'm still chortling over the latter.

Then pink hats being banned from some Women's Marches because they were "transphobic." Then California allowing men to self-identity into women's nursing home and longterm care facilities and also criminalizing "misgendering."

The hits kept coming.

I was even more shocked to learn that there was such a thing as "lib fems," who seemed to be adherents of a men's rights movement that they called 3rd Wave feminism, or something.

When I figured out what lib fems "stood" for, I figured these women would be no use in fighting gender ideology, but instead men would. Normal, Joe Six-Pack heterosexual men. And I (and you) were right.

And, as you say, the younger LGB are useless because they have been so effectively indoctrinated by Big Gender into an alternate, and completely incorrect, homosexual history, where trans are the heroes and gays did?

I never thought I would be thanking whatever powers there be for the Republicans, but today, during the Equality Act Senate Judiciary Committee hearings, I was cheering them on.

Not only that, but with wedding cakes they have a touch of symbolism there. If you know the baker at a small business, it's nice to not only support their business, but there's also a feeling that they might have taken extra care. Makes things taste better when you don't taste defeat in their cooking.

I'd rather my gay wedding cake be baked by somebody who's supportive of my marriage, not somebody who's doing it because they're being forced.

yeah, they might infect it with heterolurgies

Have you seen the trans demands activists attacks on journalist Jesse Singal? Singal made the mistake of writing reasonably about minor transition, which enraged the Gender Mob. Ever since, they have been harassing Singal, even though he's constantly trying to placate them. Now, the genderists seem to be going after Singal's career.

The only good thing about the attack on Singal (and I feel for him even though he's been quite dismissive about gender critical people and our very rational viewpoint) is that other Left-ish journalists like Glenn Greenwald, Michael Tracey and Matthew Yglesias are now examining extreme trans activism and don't seem to be happy with it.

So while poor Jesse Singal (who, again, can be a dick to women fighting to retain our sex-based rights, our safe spaces and our sports, as well as the parents who are trying to save their kids from transitioning) is being skewered, his plight has opened up the discussion, which needs to happen.

Female biology is transphobic nowadays.

"I paid for my vagina, but you got yours for free! Examine your privilege!!"

Not that difficult to imagine, is it?

[–]bobbobbybob 8 insightful - 2 fun8 insightful - 1 fun9 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

oh god. dare you to post that on twitter. it will trend

[–]BEB[S] 6 insightful - 1 fun6 insightful - 0 fun7 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

Have you been on trans activist twitter? Because it gets way more outrageous than even that.

[–]RippoffOfLove 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

I tend to stay away because the temptation to comment is too much. Don't really need to get cancelled right now!

I wish everyone would read trans activist Twitter because it is so far past nuts, and is often threatening to anyone who doesn't bow down and prostrate themselves before the Church of Genderology.

The funny thing is that now we're all paying for their neo vag through either taxes or insurance or both.

Drawing breath seems to be transphobic these days.

[–]BEB[S] 7 insightful - 1 fun7 insightful - 0 fun8 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Please see the "Everything Is Transphobic" list that I just posted. You will laugh hard.

[–]jet199 5 insightful - 2 fun5 insightful - 1 fun6 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

Men literally breathe differently to women, so yes.

This situation shows how poisonous the male and female trans tag term is.

The trans women come in with the rape and death threats bringing their victims to despair and speaking out.

Then the trans men come in with their oh so reasonable "but you wouldn't want to discriminate towards poor little me, would you?"

Yes, Aidan, manipulate little shits who back up bullies are exactly who I want to discriminate against. You go up with the rapey AGP, you go down with them.

Don't reason or debate with these abominations. Laugh and mock them.

There seems to be a common link between pedophiles in the transmovement and those who strongly hate women.
