Blame women!
Peter Tatchell, again. He just will not stop doing this. It’s almost as if misogyny is powerfully addictive, harder to kick than opioids.
Tracy Single is 15th trans woman of colour murdered in US this year. The tiny minority of feminists who demonise trans women as a threat to non-trans women contribute to the toxic, hateful atmosphere that fuels prejudice, discrimination & violence against trans people.
It is shocking to hear all trans women vilified as would-be rapists, domestic abusers, misogynists etc. This echoes the blanket slurs against LGBT+ people by homophobes & against Muslims/Jews by the far right. I support both women’s rights & trans rights. So do most feminists. Bravo!
A black man is murdered, and somehow that’s not an occasion for condemnation of racist violence but instead for an angry rant about women who don’t agree that men are women if they say so. A black man is murdered so Peter Tatchell yells at women. Wtf???
I was at a recent performance of The Dutchmen in which a young black actor stated during the talk back that white women were the greatest threat to black men. Huh? No. Yes, there were white women who used sex and lies to target black men, but the greatest threat was the white men who acted on those lies, usually eager to believe them. And the women often did that because they actually had no power at all, and it gave them a sense of control and power. It was awful, and it shouldn’t have happened, but women have never been as great a threat to men as men are to women…or as men are to other men.
Always, always, always blame the women. (Did you see the latest Jesus and Mo?)
TRA: This never happens!
Feminist: *provides evidence that this happens*
TRA: You’re vilifying all trans women as would-be rapists, domestic abusers, misogynists, etc.!
Sackbut – so true. Or, the other popular answer, the No True Scotsman fallacy.
Tatchell is still upset that real women on Twitter have given him backtalk for his pro-pedophile stance.
I wonder how many actual women – of colour or otherwise – were murdered in the U.S. this year. But it’s bound to be fewer than 15, right?
