But they’ll just take that too
But that won’t work either.
How can we start over again when the “trans women” and their deranged allies will just grab whatever we build?
The trans cult is destroying everything women have built up since the late 60s, so how would we prevent them from destroying anything we build anew in 2022 and beyond? It’s not as if they’re going to say “Okay, fair enough, we’ll take all your stuff that exists to date and you can have whatever you make starting now.” Of course they’re not. They’re going to go right on saying anything that’s for women is for them too because they are women and you’re a criminal demon if you deny it. They’re inside the house and they’re not leaving.
And the earth sowed with salt.
When I point out that this means the end of spaces reserved specifically for the female sex – and only that after a painfully long conversation spent delineating between the two – I am usually asked something like “why does the female sex need reserved spaces anyway?” which is simply a rewording of “why can the male sex never be denied access to the female sex?”
The other person will always get angry when I point out that they are a male person demanding that there be no spaces where males can’t follow females. And yes, the other person is nearly guaranteed to be male – either a trans woman, or a man engaged in a strenuous performance of allyship.
At this point, if there is still a conversation at all, they will ask if I am willing to admit that this implies that the male sex also ought to have reserved spaces. They phrase this almost triumphantly, as if it placed me in a bind. I don’t know why they think this question would be a challenge to answer, I simply say yes, why not?
The conversation rarely gets this far, and usually dies there.
All this bullshit has convinced me of my own personal need to come out as a transphobe. I think I will produce and market a line of T-shirts saying ‘I am a transphobe and I am proud.’
Should fly off the shelves.
A Hobson’s choice solution would be to encode into law civil rights specific to “Cis Women” for these problems. They would either have to accept those laws, or admit that there is no such thing. They would say that they are discriminatory, of course, because they would be excluded.
Mike Haubrich@3:
I agree. My only quibble would be that we should never use “cis”; everyone knows what women are. Trans “women” are not that. Let’s encode into law a definition fixing “women” as “adult female humans”. We can go from there.
