No endorsement from the mod, but all the comments were deemed acceptable, nothing removed, and they chose to not address it happening at all despite requests from other users. Apparently since he didn’t explicitly condone rape, defending the rights of a rapist is cool. Mod did kindly let me know that if I’m triggered I could take a break from the sub 🙄 condescending prick.

It’s depressing just how focussed on looks so many of these kids are becoming due to the trans cult. It must be agony constantly asking yourself ‘was the female looking? Do my hands look big?’

I wonder how insecure this boy would have ended up up he was never introduced to the garbage idea that he could just be a girl.

Gcdebatesqt mod (a tim) informed me that another user (also a tim) victim blaming and believing women are morally bankrupt if they hurt their rapist and don’t help them, is perfectly acceptable and does not even warrant a ‘hey that’s not cool’

It’s meant to be a place where women can freely speak and debate but of course some dude has to endorse misogyny. Allowing tra to mod was a mistake.

I’m posting about it everywhere. So disgusted with these two men and their glaring hate.

Just repeaked after an absolutely disgusting TIM told me women owe their rapists help if the rapist is hurt while you defend yourself and of course a TIM mod backed him up. In the fuckin gcdebatesqt saidit.

I was informed that victim blaming is not breaking any rules or disrespectful enough to even address. Absolute disgrace.

No point trying to salvage a community already overrun with misogyny. I’m going back to ovarit. GB gets to call people terfs and bigots and a man can tell me I’m amoral for how I act after being raped.

Can’t trust the particular mod who made this call to ever make a call in the interests of women after this, either. Here’s hoping we can find somewhere on the internet where it’a not men-first.

It’s amazing. I am morally reprehensible apparently, because I broke my rapists nose and kicked him in the kidneys and ran away. What an amoral 15 year old girl I was! Getting myself help and not getting him help whilst in shock.

The fact that this extremely sick person is able to freely speak to survivors is horrifying. Gonna be leaving the sub for a bit until I find out if he’s banned or not.

I asked the mods to take a look and let me know if I’m just being over zealous or picking on them. I’m genuinely frightened by the attitude and ideas tho. I’ve never asked for a ban or inquiry for something that was just annoying or gross either, so I reckon it’s the right call.

The ban evasions must be heaps to handle. Unpleasant work indeed.

Instead of getting myself help, after being raped, you really believe the welfare of the rapist should be my first concern?

Transwomen are in danger by being in the same room as another male but a woman is perfectly safe sitting in the alley with the man who raped her, calling an ambulance and patching up his goddamn arm? What the fuck? What dimension are you from where this is a realistic scenario? That is a sick idea and I sincerely hope you get immediate help.

Is the rapist expected to get me ice and bandages if I don’t stab him in self defense? Is he moral if he does this after RAPING me? According to your twisted dogma he is.

That’s so fucked up it requires a specialist to break down just how sick it is.

The life of the rapists who was raping me at knifepoint and planned to kill me once he was done is so valuable I should avoid seeking help for myself or protect myself further, and should instead provide first aid to the person who five minutes ago was going to gut me like a pig after R A P I N G M E.

Why is this rapists life so valuable that I should endanger mine? What makes this despicable man so much more important than the woman he has attacked?

Oh yeah, there are like five transwomen and they are literally as helpless as kittens. Men line up to stomp on them if they even look at a bathroom door. It’s very important that every woman loses a bit of safety and assumes the role of protector for the extremely vulnerable starving kittens by lining up in front of the men.

If the kittens turn out to be tigers and maul those women it’s not a problem. It’s only like five tigers and they’re not as strong as wild tigers. They’re only biting because they are oppressed.

Men are all evil, women are nothing but shields who owe their rapists or abusers medical attention, only masks is a moral and safe person to be around.

You clearly have exactly no understanding of what it’s like to be in any of those scenarios then.
Lmao someone in the midst of psychosis, someone who is literally experiencing a different reality, or a terrified child experiencing flashbacks to extreme violence is morally failing by not providing assistance.

A woman is a moral failure if she does not get help for the man who was raping her.

You can’t have a conversation about morality with any disagreement. That’s on you and your closed mind.

For the rest of us, morals are complex, nuanced, and thankfully not a black and white dogma so thick that strangers can be called totally amoral over a single daft scenario.

What if the person I stabbed was raping me? Stabbing a box of puppies? Slashing at a little old lady?

What if I’m a soldier? Or a severely abused child with CPTSD interpreting a threat to my life? What if I was on PCP? Or having a psychotic break?

For someone who says there is no further point to conversation you sure do bang on about your supposed moral superiority a lot. Notable that you once again ignore the parts of my comments where you can’t form an argument. This is such a tired method of showing your poor faith and poor debate skills.

Lmao so stabbing someone isn’t amoral but not helping them is. You are too much.

You can’t tackle my ideology in any capacity so yet again resort to blaming me personally and making up bizarre moral quandaries to judge me by as if it’s relevant or actually reflective of who I am.

I find you fundamentally misogynistic but I’m sure you’ll argue that my findings aren’t allowed but you’re free to call me fundamentally amoral over one extremely foolish question.

Should you gain the ability to argue the things actually important or relevant is maybe care about your dismissal. As it stands, your dismissal is a very thin veil for your total lack of actual arguments in favour of a round about ad hominem. Learn to argue mate.

Sorry all the rights isn’t recognised as a right? Can’t find it in a single charter.

Transwomen are men. Because men means nothing more than born male. What you choose to believe on top of that is your own business.

And no, if I stabbed someone, I’m not obliged to help them. If I’ve stabbed someone I’m in fact almost definitely not there to help them in any capacity because I’m stabbing them lmfao. What a stupid scenario to try and shame my morals

Where? I am arguing that whilst needing to be a seperate category from women, transwomen deserve and have the right to safety and community in third spaces. What about that infringes on your rights?

Name the right, even, instead of just crying the same presumably copy+pasted accusation.

Where am I taking an active role in hurting you? What do I do day to day, you magical clairvoyant?

When you create harm doesn’t it create a moral imperative to ameliorative it.

No? Morals aren’t even universal so that’s just silly. Also, if this is the case, what are you doing personally to ameliorate the harm done to women by males taking their spaces?

As you are well aware, it’s pointless to try and convince me that it is a woman’s role to protect a category of men. That sentiment is entirely misogynistic and always will be. Women can’t stop men from hurting us, how do you think we’re gonna magically fix shit for you without giving up our own protection?

It’s particularly bizarre to constantly accuse me of causing the state of affairs for transgender people in America. Like, I can’t even vote there but you expect me to fix shit for you there? I’m far FAR more concerned with the thousands of beaten women in my own country, thanks.

Terrifyingly, I have known about the same number of women throughout my life who have been assaulted, raped, battered, stalked, threatened, held financially hostage, and/or emotionally abused specifically because they were women.

And yet masks claims it is the responsibility of these women to make men behave more kindly to a subgroup of men. Un-fucking-believable.

So you can’t argue at all against the ideology and have to bring the discussion around to your only argument; all women must do X for a small group of men who have no power to protect themselves, despite the fact that women are harmed more often by men.

This refrain was tired when you constantly dragged any discussion to it when there was a subreddit. Bust something else out of the vault.

I am saying you should have protections under a different system. I’m not talking about implementing it. This is about the ideology, not the political and social barriers.

Men kill far more women than transwomen. Not women’s job to fix men for you. Been over it a thousand times.

The only thing you don’t get under my ideology is the title and shared spaces with women. Somehow this idea apparently strips you of rights but even in your arguments, it’s other males actually acting against your rights. If it’s not men’s job to educate men and it’s clearly not women’s job, who’s supposed to do it?

Once again, I’m not American,but am someone who voted for basically the exact protections I’ve described. I regularly purchase stock for my store from someone who donates part of that to transgender charities. Stop accusing me of not doing anything when I don’t vote in your countries elections and you’re 100% ignorant of me and my life.

Once again, this is about ideas, not current American politics or your personal shitty experiences. Ideas.

Change them.

You and men can make them. Talk to men instead of crying to women. Men are the problem.

Nowhere have I stated that it’s legal or socially acceptable to attack you or harass you. That’s the exact protection women have any way. What more could you possibly ask for?

The point is that this is what should be in place, as opposed to allowing transwomen into any spaces belonging to women. It’s a better solution than erasing women’s rights and language.

It’s all the protections, plus legal protection against discrimination specifically for being trans. What more could possibly be asked for? It maintains the rights of transgender people and women.

Make them. This issue has been done to death with you. Recognising transwomen as male removes your protections how specifically? What about someone seeing a male as a male makes it suddenly impossible for that person to be protected by aforementioned legal protections?

And transwomen have absolutely zero business in spaces based on their gender. Their sex is male and their self perception should never allow them into spaces for female people.

My ideas provide protection for women’s spaces and women as a category, whilst still calling for legal protection from discrimination for men who is as women, plus advocates for spaces for those men to use safely.

Name the right being stripped away here. Full protections in place. The only thing you wouldn’t get is something you already don’t have, which is control over anyone else’s perception. Nobody can force others to see them as something they are not.

They would have all the rights other males have. Transwomen also have the option of protections and facilities for themselves, seperate from males who are not transwomen.

Homosexual men are men who need and can access protections despite them being simply men. Why is it different for men who perform femininity/identify as a woman/whatever? What about males being recognised as males makes it impossible for transwomen to be a group of males with certain potential vulnerabilities to other males?

I’m all for discrimination protection for transgender people on the basis of their being transgender. It shouldn’t be reason alone to fire someone, or reject them as a renter, or to deny healthcare that is needed.

Not seeing transwomen as females/women does not deny transwomen any rights. It’s nothing more or less than the statement. It does not mean transgender people should lose any rights.

You are incorrect about sex. It’s potential gamete production but this has been explained to you plenty of times before.

So transgender people, as babies, see members of the opposite sex and try to mimic them and this is supposedly related to fitness of the species. It doesn’t make sense. Why do some babies mimic traits and behaviours that are apparently sexed and others don’t?

Which behaviours are sexed in particular?

Such a good Christmas with my families!! Hope everyone had as much fun as we did!

Spoilt absolutely rotten, five kids in the family unwrapping presents and having an absolute blast, nailed my gifts for my inlaws, everyone made a point to be positive and merry and it made everything great. Love my MIL endlessly for making Christmas something I look forward to instead of dreading. That woman is just incredible. Deeply regretting drinking a half litre of rum plus wine and something with triple sec.

Super lucky to be somewhere that’s now covid free. It must be so hard to do the holidays isolated or even worse, sick or knowing a loved one is sick with covid.

Hope everyone’s had a safe and happy time. I know a lot of transgender people are rejected by family but I hope you’ve got someone who loves you to be with.

Right, sexual dimorphism in humans, whilst not as obvious as being brightly coloured or 45x larger than the other sex, is males typically having larger bones, coarser body and/or facial hair, lack of breasts, a more narrow pelvis, etc and females having a higher fat distribution, a wider pelvis, lower muscle density, developed breasts etc.

This does not mean males cannot have a high fat distribution or that women cannot have a hairy back. It means that certain features are more typical to the respective sex.

How do they not fit? It does not say women are always smooth and hairless and men are all as hairy as an ape. It means males typically have more, coarser body hair. That’s it.

These features do not define ones sex, they are dictated by ones sex. I’ve already explained what sex is and it is absolutely not bimodal. A man with breasts does not develop the ability to produce ova so his sex does not change.

GC: I believe if features are sexed, and secondary sex characteristics are innate to a man or a woman, then sex is determined by secondary sex characteristics and the gender essentialism that tras believe in is true. If you disagree, then tell me your reasons by [deleted] in GCdebatesQT

Nope. Gender essentialism is the idea that women are innately softer, more nurturing, prone to wanting prettiness etc. and that men are hard, brutish, and unemotional etc.

Recognising sexual dimorphism is not gender or biological essentialism. It’s not assigning any value to either trait, just describing what occurs in 99% of the population.

You’ve got some very confused ideas going on.

Not knowing what anatomy you have does not make it less related to your sex.

Have you ever seen a pseudopenis? A pseudovagina? They do not look the same, feel the same, or function the same. If I construct a very detailed facsimile of a penis with the pork roast currently in my oven, does it become a penis? What about if it looks and feels very convincing?

You misunderstand the gc stance on sex. Ones sex is the reproductive role they would potentially play. The body developed according to one of two possible plans barring a disorder of sexual development. Either to produce sperm or to produce ova. The actual production of either being removed due to injury/illness/age etc does not change the role they developed to play in procreation. So their sex clearly does not change.

If you cannot form a debate it’s weird to post in a debate forum. You make no argument, but insist gc cannot argue because of not ‘debunking’ a conversation had on reddit. There’s nothing to answer. You might as well put up a contextless sound clip of The View or something.

Oh yeah it’s maddening to hear how we never debate anyone only to repeatedly get asked stupid shit and have any thoughtful responses given ignored in favour of focussing on someone who said something mean somewhere.

We all know why they never answer questions though. Don’t understand them, or have no answer because their gotchas are based in a faith-model.

Maybe a post outlining what and how a debate functions, and why anecdotes or opinions are poor arguments will help tra put together something other than..whatever this thread is.

Random foolish questions with zero effort or points presented by a brand new account with zero other post history seems to be the only tra interaction here. Imo it’s one or two users from the subreddit just cycling through sock puppet accounts, throwing shit at a wall, and taking screenshots for upvotes from gendercynical subreddit.

Gotta be the same couple of people behind the accounts cause it’s always the same brand of “someone somewhere said something please answer for them” or some stupidly simple post like “what’s a man if my great Aunty has a beard hmmm!? Sex is a spectrum dummies”

You are so right.

I remember seeing a lot of stuff from tra about how black women are supposedly less feminine somehow than white and Asian women so that somehow meant men were also women.

I’d hazard a guess most aren’t doing it to be intentionally offensive or manipulative, and are grasping at straws to keep the dream legitimised. Too invested in the identity to think about who you might be hurting. Hell I’d say some of these men are running and clutching at straws so hard is because this is the first time they have ever really wanted something (womanhood however they imagine it) and don’t get it.

Am autistic and can confirm it’s absolutely got nothing to do with my sex other than a reluctance in the psych field to diagnose me because I was female.

Definitely no urge to invent a new gender just because I’m not great at certain things deemed ~for females~

Frankly it’s a little insulting for op to state that being on the spectrum means a woman is likely to require being called ze or xir or your majesty or something stupid like that.

Femaleness has nothing to do with feminineness inherently. It is something enforced on the majority of female people.

Male people do not receive this socialisation, and the claim that it is inherent reinforces the idea that female=pink!sparkles!maths hard:( Males who naturally gravitate towards things deemed feminine are feminine men. Not women.

Personally, I don’t identify as female or as a woman. I identify as a craftswoman and artisan. I identify as an aunt and housewife and sister. My femaleness is merely a fact, like my blonde hair or loose ligaments. It’s unhealthy to have an identity largely or wholly rooted in ones propensity to obey or disobey gender norms enforced on their respective sex.

Nobody makes men act like porn actresses or caricatures of women. They choose to do that based on their own misogynistic belief of what a woman is.

Bearded women are still females, men with tits are still males. They don’t develop the potential to produce another gamete. You are straight up wrong about sex. You never respond to half of what’s asked you.

How? How does this latent dysphoria interact with gendered socialisation? Why does a child select the opposite sex group to emulate? Why does this desire to emulate the behaviour of a group lead to such distress over genitals and secondary sexual characteristics? Why do so many transwomen emulate not women but instead a cartoonishly sexualised idea of a woman?

It’s nonsensical that some people imprint on entire groups of people for years whilst the rest of us don’t imprint like a wee baby chicken.

It doesn’t make sense for members of one sex group to randomly ‘imprint’ on a gaggle of women at any age, let alone suddenly at the age of six or seventeen.

It serves no purpose for some people to have evolved this imprinting thing and the rest of us to have not.
