Got another one
Meanwhile the dedicated campaign to get women’s jobs taken away if they don’t agree that men can be women continues.

We just found out nina edge ain’t gonna be teaching at LJMU no more – students spoke up and they had a meeting today!! pic.twitter.com/OhieIWvczP— The White Pube (@TheWhitePube) October 26, 2018
“Students spoke up” apparently after and because these two inquisitors spat out a bunch of tweets accusing Nina Edge of the usual bullshit, complete with tagging a bunch of people like the nasty wannabe cops they are. And took a bragging selfie to say so.
I was listening to the On the Media podcast today, and there was a story about a “bathroom bill”-type initiative. They were talking about an ad from the side that wants to prevent allowing everyone to use the bathroom that “matches their gender identity.”
The ad warned of the dangers of “any man in a dress” having access to women’s bathrooms, locker rooms, and so on. It was troubling to me how the ad was dismissed immediately as offering a bigoted point of view. As though there could be no legitimate quarrel with these policies.
I don’t know the motivations of the people who made the ad. I doubt they were down with the radfems. They might indeed be superconservative, bigoted jerks who want to make life hard for anyone who’s different. But the fear—that regular-old dudes could take advantage of these polices to harm women—seems reasonable to me. I don’t think that’s anti-trans. I think it’s calling out men, not transwomen.
And again, there was the reflexive, unspoken assumption that women’s concerns and women’s safety are less deserving of consideration.
