Wrong side of history

Here is something I know to be true: those campaigning against trans rights will fail. Your money will be raised and spent and wasted. Your legal challenges will not succeed. Your relentless attempts to do injustice will fail. You are on the wrong side of history. Your children will grow up knowing better than you. You cannot stop progress. Your efforts are in vain.

And every time I'm proven right - every time a court judgment goes against you and every time a law protecting trans men and women is passed and every time equality is further enshrined in the laws of this country I am going to return to this thread for the pure and petty purpose of telling you I TOLD YOU SO.

how much it pleases me that 200 comments have been spent arguing with me rather than spreading poisonous ideology elsewhere

Oh, I can do both - or at least I can when I'm not helping putting my kids (boys, who know that they can wear and play with anything they want and it makes them no less male, and that being male just means they have a penis and nothing more) to bed and watching TV with DP after a long day at work.

Oh, and I will point out, it's less arguing, and more pointing and laughing at the self-righteous fool.

"pleases me that 200 comments have been spent arguing with me rather than spreading poisonous ideology elsewhere"

Aww it's the old "don't you care about food banks, homelessness, la la la" in a different form. We're mums you know, you stereotyped us yourself. We own you at multitasking.

Icantreachthepretzels · 15/01/2018 20:53

both this:
The long bend towards justice sounds like a really hard core toilet cleaner.
And this:
Mind the security guy doesn't cup your plums on the way through security at the airport.
Have made me laugh out loud in just the last 7 posts. Are you sure you people are really feminists? you don't seem hatchet faced and humourless enough for my tastes!

I mentioned that earlier Queen

No amount of surgery can replicate that ☺

rather than spreading poisonous ideology elsewhere

You do realise that there are probably hundreds of lurkers reading this thread, yes? I doubt it is coincidence that the donations have steadily gone up since you started it.

horseyhorsey17 · 15/01/2018 20:50

Winners write the history books - if the Nazis had won World War 2, then sterilising children and mutilating healthy bodies (as practised by Dr 'Death' Josef Mengele) would have been on the right side of history. So yeah, if the MRAs end up forcing their women-erasing agenda through, then you WILL be on the right side of history. Something for us all to look forward to, eh?

QueenOfTheAndals · 15/01/2018 20:50

I can't tell you how much I've enjoyed this, or how much it pleases me that 200 comments have been spent arguing with me rather than spreading poisonous ideology elsewhere.

Hey, we're (biological) women - we can multi-task!

Vango · 15/01/2018 20:49

out there in the real world you're losing and you know it

The ‘real world’ is full of women who don’t realise, yet, the consequences of their general tendency to put others first. I was one until last week, when I realised that the party of which I am a member required me to ‘self-define’. Researching this further has opened my eyes to the erosion of women’s rights and I am not happy about that, I can tell you. I now consider it my duty to spread the word. So carry on...give me more examples of what is to become of women. You’re doing a great job.

Agerbilatemycardigan · 15/01/2018 20:49

If they don't are they terfs?

SophoclesTheFox · 15/01/2018 20:49

The long bend towards justice sounds like a really hard core toilet cleaner.

You can go to bed safe in the knowledge that you personally inspired at least three new donations to the fund, lyra. Quite a spectacular own goal there. Sleep tight!

Agerbilatemycardigan · 15/01/2018 20:48

Do airport x-ray scanners know that you identify as a woman?

OrderMeACurry · 15/01/2018 20:48

@LyraPotter

I am a transwoman and I think you are talking shite.

And that's all I have the energy right now for.

AssassinatedBeauty · 15/01/2018 20:48

What is it with "ladies" all the time?

I find it deeply humorous that you think that by starting a thread you've somehow prevented the women posting here from doing anything else. It's not like you've been holding us hostage!

Hope you have a good flight, and see you on be other side of your "moral arc".

Icantreachthepretzels · 15/01/2018 20:47

Some people did. He got ravaged.

I hope it peaktransed him!

EamonnWright · 15/01/2018 20:46

Good night ladies - I'm up in the middle of the night for a flight so I'm going to bed. I can't tell you how much I've enjoyed this, or how much it pleases me that 200 comments have been spent arguing with me rather than spreading poisonous ideology elsewhere. As promised earlier I'll be revisiting this thread periodically when my predictions are proven true - every time you lose a legal challenge or see your crusade set back another step. Let's all reconvene when that happens and you can tell me about the next bright idea you have to stall the moral arc of the universe on its long bend towards justice

Mind the security guy doesn't cup your plums on the way through security at the airport.

That actually made something pop into my head, can transwomen demand to be searched by a female?

ATeardropExplodes · 15/01/2018 20:45

He is a terf, and should probably die in a fire - why has no one told him this?

Some people did. He got ravaged.

coldcanary · 15/01/2018 20:44

Have a good flight, do come back and tell us what you think of the bloke who considers TW to be women except for relationship purposes won’t you? Are men like him allies or not?
