Do you even have to call them a woman on here to avoid being banned?

Surely you can just call them what they are: a man.

Learning about trans issues to ~be a better ally~ is what turned me against them.

Yep, otherwise they're just a straight couple, "and in a world that doesn't have enough LGBTQ+ representation, you want to be visible". <--- Page, last year.

Same, I saw headlines about "Umbrella Academy star Elliot Page" and ignored it because I don't watch the show and it didn't interest me. I was shocked to see another headline a few hours later with a photograph of Ellen Page.

But if anyone who identifies as a woman is a woman, then how can their gender transition not be valid?

ekitten · 2020-09-27T14:47:36+00:00

Yeah, I assume they would've had the transitioners or their parents sign forms saying they understood there were risks, so they won't be liable. That's what happened when I had laser eye surgery, and when I went for a check-up afterwards and mentioned vision issues (ghosting), the first thing they asked me was if I'd been warned about the risks.

I commented on a Pajiba article to say I'd seen trans activists saying RBG was a TERF because she said women are discriminated against on the basis of sex, and someone replied accusing me of being a troll trying to sow misinformation to divide the left.

@6:38 "trans people – that is people who deal with gender dysphoria and transition in order to deal with it. That's what a trans person is by definition." LMAO, even the transwoman they interviewed is "transphobic" because 1) not all trans people have gender dysphoria, so are they saying non-dysphoric trans people aren't really transgender? and 2) not all trans people transition, so are they saying those people aren't valid either?

ekitten · 2020-09-16T01:42:07+00:00

Their definition of gender is bullshit, unsurprisingly. And of course the definition of sexism refers to men and women which are supposed to be genders not sexes.

Yeah "live and let live" really does describe it. I've noticed a few times when I've gone into libfem spaces and asked what a woman is if adult human female is exclusionary, and when I start to poke holes in the "anyone who IDs as a woman is a woman" nonsense and they can't refute my points, they ALWAYS wind up being like "why can't people just identify as they want, they aren't hurting anyone, just let people be themselves".

ekitten · 2020-09-13T19:12:29+00:00

I can't remember what they said that rubbed me the wrong way. I've been Googling and, while I can't find the specific things, I did find this quote from Kathleen: "trans women are part of the feminist movement and they need to be part of the feminist movement if there is going to even be a movement" (http://archermagazine.com.au/2014/01/qa-riot-grrrl-kathleen-hanna-on-sexuality-marriage-and-music/). I'm struggling to find what Tobi has said, but it was to do with how feminist punk music should centre trans women or something like that.

ekitten · 2020-09-13T17:17:03+00:00

What a shame that Kathleen Hanna and Tobi Vail have abandoned women to kneel at the altar of trans ideology. Previously, Kathleen had been slammed as transphobic because Le Tigre played twice at Michigan Womyn's Music Festival, which had a "womyn-born womyn" policy. Le Tigre even said they'd been "verbally attacked, endlessly harassed and physically threatened" for playing there.

Unfortunately, it makes it difficult to get people on your side. When the Jonathan Yaniv shit first started happening, only right-wing and Christian news websites were reporting on it. The only other places mentioning him were gender critical sites. When I tried to tell people about it, they wanted a reliable source and then immediately dismissed it as bias and fear mongering. It took ages for left-wing news sources to start reporting on that predator.

ekitten · 2020-08-27T21:27:09+00:00

Radcliffe's statement also linked to The Trevor Project's "guide to being an ally", which claims to explain the difference between sex and gender, but doesn't explain gender and just provides the circular "gender describes our internal understanding and experience of our own gender identity". https://www.thetrevorproject.org/resources/trevor-support-center/a-guide-to-being-an-ally-to-transgender-and-nonbinary-youth/

Doesn't even identify as a woman but thinks a lesbian space is for them.

ekitten · 2020-08-19T23:17:57+00:00

When did it become more commonplace for trans women to start referring to themselves as trans female (and trans men as trans males)? I feel like when I first started to learn about trans stuff a few years ago, it was acknowledged that trans women are male (but it was considered rude to point out their biological sex), but increasingly I'm seeing people being told that trans women identify as female (even if they haven't had sex reassignment surgery or anything)... like ?????

ekitten · 2020-08-07T17:57:43+00:00

I contacted them pointing out that they're not 'hostile to trans people in the feminist movement' because feminism is about the oppression of the female sex class. All female people are welcome, including transgender ones. Used the example of abortion rights not affecting trans women because they're male.

ekitten · 2020-08-07T09:53:28+00:00

UGH "framing trans women as males is misgendering and transphobic. Making equivalency between male and penis (and thereby trans women and penis) is also transphobic. Sex is based on a series of traits that can be mostly changed, and a trans woman post op and on HRT is thus no more male than a cis woman, even by medical definitions."

ekitten · 2020-08-06T22:00:50+00:00

It always bothers me when places/people say they won't allow homophobia, sexism AND transphobia. Like... transgender ideology is sexist and homophobic.

ekitten · 2020-08-05T02:39:18+00:00

From his Wiki page: In June 2016, Shupe successfully petitioned a Multnomah County, Oregon, court to change his sex designation to non-binary, in the first legal recognition of a non-binary gender in the United States. That November, he was issued a birth certificate in Washington, D.C., with a sex marker of "unknown".

"If your attraction to females doesn't include trans females and includes males, including trans males, you're not a lesbian."

I remember recently (I think in one of the JKR posts) a user being upset about misogyny, and one of the mods (toxic_illusion) basically told them that if they didn't like it they could leave the community. I messaged another mod (ms_melissa) about that but they deleted my comment. Ironic thing is that ms_melissa runs women-focused film pages on other social platforms.

ekitten · 2020-08-01T15:57:01+00:00

Yeah, I found out about GC feminism through ONTD. I hadn't actually heard much about trans stuff before that. But it seems like now you get warned by mods for pointing out misogyny or homophobia in trans posts. Before r/gendercritical got shut down, a few people on there said that a lot of GC women and lesbians had been banned.

Actually, it seems like the website says you need to have the intellectual property rights to designs you upload and you can report designs you think violate that, so I'm going to contact them. I don't really expect anything to happen though. I think they'd only take it seriously if a copyright holder contacted them.

ekitten · 2020-07-30T14:38:31+00:00

The website they're selling them on doesn't seem to have a report button or anything. They have an intellectual property policy re. copyright infringement but it would be up to JKR to sue them for that, and that would just be brought up in the news as her being anti-trans unless she sued anyone making and selling HP merchandise.

It's just infuriating that people are mocking her and acting like she's a bigot for defending women's rights while simultaneously making money off of her work.

ekitten · 2020-07-30T13:30:03+00:00

I emailed info@jkrowling.com and info@theblairpartnership.com (which handles JKR's permissions and representation) so hopefully this person gets done for copyright infringement or whatever.

ekitten · 2020-07-30T13:14:50+00:00

Also LOL I actually clicked on to the t-shirt and you can choose between the genders of male or female. I thought they were always criticizing others for conflating sex and gender.

They're already eroding away the meaning of 'lesbian', like they have with 'woman' and are doing with 'female', because they insist that males can be lesbians :/

ekitten · 2020-07-26T15:51:01+00:00

Wikipedia's articles are bullshit when it comes to trans stuff. Like the "woman" article literally opens with "A woman is an adult human female" but then goes onto include TW. Editors have tried to point out the contradiction on the talk page but ~inclusivity!~ and so TW remain on the page (I guess we should be relieved that the word "female" hasn't been removed... yet).

The "violence against women" article opens with "also known as gender-based violence and sexual and gender-based violence" but not sex-based violence, even though the second sentence includes "a form of hate crime, committed against women or girls specifically because they are female". They also have a section on violence against trans women, which includes a statistic on the number of trans PEOPLE murdered, not specifically trans women, and makes out that TW are oppressed for not being allowed in domestic violence shelters for "cisgender women".

ekitten · 2020-07-26T15:39:31+00:00

r/LabourUK recently had a post about making LGBT conversion therapy illegal in the UK. I asked if that meant it would be illegal for transwomen to pressure lesbians into dating males, and got banned for discrimination/bigotry. I messaged the mods to point out that their own sub was bigoted for supporting homophobia, and got a very aggressive response calling me a "hateful fuck". I responded saying that pressuring gay people into dating people of the opposite sex is homophobia and conversion therapy, and they muted me.

ekitten · 2020-07-25T16:04:04+00:00

The NHS cervical screening page already uses ~inclusive~ language ("all women and people with a cervix aged 25 to 64"). https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/cervical-screening/

Meanwhile (ever so surprisingly!), their prostate cancer screening page does not ("all men", "most men", "some men", "up to 15% of men", "some men", "most men", "men", "reduce a man's chance", "healthy men aged 50 or over", "man aged 50 or over"). https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/prostate-cancer/psa-testing/

Also in this post's link: "If you change your registered gender to male" ... Aren't they always saying not to conflate sex and gender? And they're seriously bothered by "Only females get cervical cancer"? JFC

ekitten · 2020-07-25T15:22:57+00:00

Idk about sites, but the AO3 user ObsidianPen (who wrote the HP fanfics No Glory, Blood and Gold, Mine/Hauntingly) denounced JKR on their Tumblr and then became very misogynistic towards an anon concerned about sexism and homophobia.

ekitten · 2020-07-25T15:09:47+00:00

Especially now that some of them insist that TW are female, even if they still have their penis.

ekitten · 2020-07-25T15:07:15+00:00

Cis women won't be able to speak at women's events because they are privileged over transwomen. Look at that other article on here about transwomen talking about menstruation.

ekitten · 2020-07-25T14:59:40+00:00

I remember in a conversation about abortion, someone posted a Friends still of Rachel saying "No uterus, no opinion", and of course the transwomen were mad at being excluded and cried transphobia. It's not even a trans-exclusionary statement since transmen have uteruses.

ekitten · 2020-07-25T14:46:09+00:00

If anyone who supports JKR's work doesn't care about transphobia, then doesn't anyone who supports Radcliffe not care about racism and xenophobia?

When asked if he spent time with white supremacists to better understand his film Imperium, his response was: "No, but I know some really fucking racist people, friends I vehemently disagree with. They’re not white supremacists, they would never be that extreme, but they are anti-immigration and absolutely voted to leave in Brexit. And I’m still friends with them because I don’t think that friendship should be drawn along those lines. That’d be a really sad way of viewing the world. But yeah, I definitely have got first-hand experience with this."

ekitten · 2020-07-25T14:10:17+00:00

How can TW say that they don't have a uterus but insist that they have a period? I guess the definition of period is also transphobic now.

ekitten · 2020-07-25T14:02:04+00:00

I was amused by the title but after reading the entry what the actual fuck? If their issue was JKR saying only women menstruate, then shouldn't they have spoken with transmen and female non-binary people about menstruation? Instead they're speaking to males who cannot and will not ever menstruate omfg.

ekitten · 2020-07-25T13:51:20+00:00

ekitten · 2020-07-24T13:40:49+00:00

They tell people not to read gender critical feminists arguments in case it converts them, lol.

I actually feel saying that they hand wave it away as women being drama queens is being very generous. I've always seen them accuse women of being disgusting TERFs and become vitriolic, or at best accuse us of "fear-mongering".

An infuriating thing about the TIMs in women's sports debate is a lot of headlines frame it as if we're calling for trans people to be banned from sports. No one is saying that! We're just saying trans people should compete with their biological sex – we are saying trans males shouldn't be able to compete in female categories, not that trans males should also be banned from male categories. Jeez.

Yeah I've noticed they often compare trying to keep transwomen from women's bathrooms to racial segregation and homophobia (keeping black women and lesbians from the women's restrooms). Except they are the ones being racist and homophobic by comparing black women and lesbians to males.

Their arguments ALWAYS fall apart because they're illogical and bigoted.

The weirdest part to me about them making characters transgender is that I've often seen them making female characters into transwomen.

Yeah one of my fave HP fanfic writers (ObsidianPen) got asked about the JKR stuff on their Tumblr and they were against her. I found that disappointing but not really surprising, but it then got worse. IIRC, some anon tried to explain that JKR was pointing out sexism and ObsidianPen responded by writing a short AU where they gave the anons words to Umbridge – except they never even referred to the character by name as Umbridge, just an "extremely ugly, toad-like woman". I messaged them at that point to call out their misogyny, how it was like anti-suffragette propaganda, but of course they didn't post my comment. ObsidianPen made a point in their replies to let everyone know they supported trans people but when sexism and homophobia were brought up they made no such assurances of support for women or gay people. It's really left a bad taste in my mouth; I tried reading a new chapter of one of their fics since then but they just make me uncomfortable now.
