Works for him
Look at this smug creep:
“There shouldn’t be this tension between trans women’s rights and non-trans women’s rights. I think a lot of that has been stirred up to drive division and devise [?] hate. Most of the time I’ve been – I transitioned ten years ago and – you know – [little laugh, or snicker] I’ve always felt comfortable using the bathroom and I’ve never been challenged -“
As if the only possible issue were how he feels while using the women’s bathroom. “I force myself on women and I’ve never been challenged.”
Nice hairdo though.
Let me TRANSlate:
“Women should ignore reality, believe what we tell them, and do what we tell them to do. Repeat after me: ‘Tran Women Are Women. There is no conflict between trans women’s rights and non-trans women’s rights.’ Anyone who tells you otherwise is lying. Now, let me into your bathroom.”
“This is the work of a tiny group of outside agitators who are best ignored. I MEAN IT: DON’T YOU DARE LISTEN TO THEM! Everything would be just fine if they’d just shut the fuck up. They’re just jealous because I’m more of a woman than they’ll ever be!”
I’ve been invading women’s toilets for a decade. They’re so much nicer than the men’s loos. Cute, too! They’re great! Men just don’t know what they’re missing! Sure I’m taller and bigger than most other women, but all those women have simply loved my presence there. They practically invite me in! How could I refuse? Besides, silence means consent, and only hateful bigots would ever say “No.” Especially to my face. None do; they’re only a few cowards. See, no conflict! Next time I’m bringing my Friend, Loretta!’
When you make clear what’s really going on, the “tension” becomes so painfully obvious. Easy for you to say, fella.
Yeah, go ahead and snicker. You just take what you want. You “feel comfortable,” and that’s all that matters to you. You didn’t stop to consider how any of the women or girls feel; you never asked them, did you? You’re bigger and stronger. It’s quintessential male privilege to just take things, and dare the women to challenge or object. Your very presence is an implied threat of violence. Even if you’d had the impulse to ask, “You don’t mind, do you?” you’d hardly get an honest answer precisely because of the implied threat of male violence. Women have to do that calculus multiple times a day, every day. Women will never “feel comfortable” with the way men so continually and casually violate their boundaries. You, a man, will never have to live with that particular intrusive psychological constant. The only “transition” you’ve made is from a respectful man to a disrespectful and dangerous man. Take your “transition,” and shove it.
Well said!
