Some terribly sophisticated point
Some replies to the ACLU’s calculated insult to women yesterday:
“You may as well just say you hate women at this point and that you are actively working to erase women as a political class. It would be way more honest.”
“Way of disappearing the one, coherent group of people that are solely affected by it: women and girls, female people. Patriarchy has always tried to separate women from one another to better control us because our sisterhood is dangerous to them.”
“WOMEN female sex humans these are the people disproportionately harmed.”
“I’m puzzled as to how the abortion ban disproportionately affects gay men. I must be missing some terribly sophisticated point you’re making because there’s no way you would just vomit up letters randomly in order to avoid saying the word woman. When discussing abortion.”
To be fair, any gay man who gets pregnant probably should get an abortion as soon as possible. Otherwise it’s going to get very painful.
Based on her words and actions, Chase Strangio utterly hates being a woman, and I think as a consequence, hates women. Her mindset has infected the ACLU.
I know that it’s been remarked upon a thousand times, but I still feel the need to mention that whenever I hear “ACLU” now, I think of their “struggle against reality”.
Judith Here, I’ve got an idea. Suppose you agree that he can’t actually have babies, not having a womb, which is nobody’s fault, not even the Romans’, but that he can have the right to have babies.
Rogers Good idea, Judith. We shall fight the oppressors for your right to have babies, brother. Sister! Sorry.
Reg What’s the point?
Rogers What?
Reg What’s the point of fighting for his right to have babies, when he can’t have babies?
Rogers It is symbolic of our struggle against oppression.
Reg Symbolic of his struggle against reality.
I’m a bit lost in relation to Chase Strangio. According to Wikipedia “Strangio was included in 2020’s Time 100 most influential people in the world”. That just illustrates the extreme insularity of American publications, unless “the world” just means “the USA”. Anyway, he’s virtually unknown in France, and, I venture to suggest, most other places. As a result, I really don’t know if he’s a man or a woman (as defined by sex). Can someone enlighten me?
Strangio is a woman who identifies as a man, aka a trans man.
