I can’t remember ever having a single argument with a gender identity extremist (and I’ve had a lot) which didn’t descend into breathtaking misogyny on their part. Don’t get me wrong, the ideology is misogynistic through and through and their arguments begin with misogyny, too. But I’ve managed to retain just enough humanity to give some of these people the benefit of the doubt for a few tweets. Perhaps their misogyny is unconscious, I reason. Perhaps it’s a result of their being steeped in it like the rest of us, but they haven’t woken up and noticed it yet. Perhaps, in other words, they are redeemable and amenable to reason.
Are they fuck. The arguments always descend into overt, deliberate, unmistakable misogyny. Always. Usually very rapidly. It is never, ever far from the surface. The slightest ‘provocation’ (disagreement) brings it out to play every time.
If I ever come across an example of this not happening, I will eat the Oort Cloud.
Funny story about banners…. The Sex Matters ladies told me they’d checked and double checked and prepared and packed, but had neglected to check one thing–they unrolled the banner they had printed, only to discover the banner for a local pizza place. We all hoped the pizza place put up their ‘Sex Matters’ banner.
“Suck my dick” is so often used by men, to women and to other men.
Not once in my life have I heard a woman say as an insult, “Lick my clit” or “suck my cunt”.
Misogyny in trans activism? Surely not.
I have heard a female “trans ally” use “suck my dick” as an insult. Repeatedly. The dick she doesn’t have. I don’t understand it at all.

lol. That’s frustrating but also quite funny.
So, latsot, if we ever see you pooping comets, we’ll know you found that holy grail?
It has the benefit of being objectively observable.
