The problem I have with transwomen is that they keep trying to speak FOR women by uglyelephant121 in GenderCritical

Of course I don't take their views as them speaking on behalf of women (plus the whole not a woman = can't be a feminist thing), they're just stating their own opinion from a trans woman's perspective.

Me neither, but it's ironic that a man is going to try to tell women how we should live our lives. But because he's dressed as a woman, libfems and others think it's A-OK. It's a bit of hypocrisy. (note: I'm not talking about Blaire White in the first 2 sentences of this comment. Blaire isn't the point of my post if you go back and read it. I'm talking about the phenomenon of TiMs who do that.) Also, you can call Blaire whatever pronouns you want. Call Blaire xey/xem if you please. You're on a gender critical sub and Blaire is a male at the end of the day. Ultimately, I don't care if you prefer to call Blaire they/them. I just think it's a little ironic to do so in a sub like this. But that's just my opinion and you of course are entitled to do what you please.

Besides, it seems you managed to skip a couple paragraphs and just focus in on the words 'Blaire White' and forget everything else I wrote? Maybe you saw the words 'Blaire White,' skipped the rest of my post, and went straight to the comment section to defend him? Blaire White is hardly even the point of my post. He's just one of several examples I was using to make my point.

I miss GC because at least GC knew to call men 'he/him' instead of tiptoeing around with 'they.' You have good points that Blaire seems to be a more rational TiM, but as I wrote above, 'How do you miss Blaire's numerous videos on 'feminism is cancer' and making fun of radical feminists? How do you miss all the pro-MRA videos Blaire has put up? If you only pay attention to Blaire's videos on transgender people, yes, he'd seem like a reasonable TiM. But you'd have to ignore all of his anti-women videos to come to that conclusion. At the end of the day, Blaire is a man and I feel disgusted that he feels the right to degrade women and radical feminists while propping up men and the alt right.' I get because he passes well (only due to favorable angles/lighting) it is easy to forget he's not a woman and I've even accidentally referred to him as 'she,' but as I said in the previous sentence...

The point of my post was calling out men dressed as woman for speaking for and on women's rights issues as if they are women. Blaire White is one of them and so are several others.

Just a couple years ago, Blaire was extremely popular in the anti-feminists community. If you go to YouTube and enter 'Blaire White feminism,' you will see several anti-feminist, pro-MRA videos pop up. Not to mention the alt right videos. He has not renounced any of his views just because he's shifted focus to easier targets. Do you not see the irony behind a man denouncing feminism and propping up MRA's while claiming he's a woman?

How do you miss Blaire's numerous videos on 'feminism is cancer' and making fun of radical feminists? How do you miss all the pro-MRA videos Blaire has put up? If you only pay attention to Blaire's videos on transgender people, yes, he'd seem like a reasonable TiM. But you'd have to ignore all of his anti-women videos to come to that conclusion. At the end of the day, Blaire is a man and I feel disgusted that he feels the right to degrade women and radical feminists while propping up men and the alt right.

Also, I wasn't only talking about Blaire White or just Contrapoints. That's why I added 'and other TiMs.' It's something that's in a lot of communities online by several trans individuals.

JK Rowling just spoke again. She's fighting back by Lilith_Fair in GenderCritical

I genuinely cannot understand why she is facing so much backlash. Comparatively speaking, her tweets are extremely reasonable, tame, and fair. She even states her support for trans people several times. She just reasonably believes that a lot more research needs to be done and that there MUST be limits to protect people and sex-based rights. I literally sat here with my mouth agape as I read a tweet from someone who is clearly insanely delusional calling JK Rowling an EXTREMIST. The tweet said she became a radicalized EXTREMIST. Um, since when did JK rowling take out her AK-47 and go around shooting trans people? NEVER! AND she never said 1 negative thing about trans people either! WTF are these people on!

Petition for mods of major subs to ban /user/fuzzbutt22 for censorship on /s/PinkPillFeminism by SuperConductiveRabbi in SaidIt

My comment was literally 'I think this community isn't going to last long on Saidit since most Pinkpillers went to Spinster.' Literally harmless. Didn't say anything troll-y. Didn't bash the community. But I guess that was wrongthink? With censorship like that, they're just proving me right. Powertripping mod hates when other people have different opinions.

edit: and there are no obviously listed rules for the sub so I guess the rules are 'don't disagree with the mods at all in any way.'
