I have read this thread, bumped or not, and quite frankly I find the contents appalling. Baseless untruths, disinformation, scare mongering, and blatant hate speech.
Transphobic lies that seek to brand trans people as rapists, mysoginists, sexual deviants is disgusting.
My understanding is sex, as in male or female, is biology, and I know of not one transperson who has tried or ever attempted to access facilities or discuss biological issues. No transperson is suitably equipped to discuss periods, gynacology, pregnancy, cervical cancer, or any services that may refer to do an only services, so rape councillors or refuges. Well not as, what do you call it, a trans identified male, what ever that abomination of a string if words means.
Truth is, trans women are subjected to rape, domestic, and "normal" violence, murder, intimidation. Most trans women are uniquely qualified to understand misogyny, male privilege, and the absolute benifits of being male. Trans women choose to relinquish this benifit, and have to endure not only mysoginists but women who decry their existence.
And frankly I don't understand why??
As with the majority of slurs aimed at trans women, not one of them are supported by facts, or evidence.
The claim that men self identify as women, to access women only spaces, with the sole purpose of nefarious purposes again at women and children, surely places to much trust in the power of a sign on an unlocked door. And is also underestimating the journey and trauma that transwomen endure.
If you think you are hard done by, and down trodden, triple that emotion, and the fact that not only men are out to get you, that is the experience of trans women.
You would have thought, the sacrifices made by trans women, would be admired by women, bearing in mind, there is no choice for them. Them may be biologically male, but, they are women in every sense.
I cannot imagine any genetic woman accepting being defined by their vagina, uterus, and breasts, are women not more than their component parts, and isn't feminism about being recognised and treated beyond component parts, yet women judge trans people on the same level as that they find so offensive, and degrading. Are women not better than that? Or are women just as flawed and riddled with double standards as the men they criticise.
Take the comments of AuntyStella, unfounded comments, totally without evidence or substance.
The comment, "porn soaked".
What does that even mean?? It doesn't even make sense!! And do women not watch or enjoy porn? Do women not watch images, or sexualize man, and women? Are these critics of AuntyStella really beyond a lip biting moment at a physical stimulating image? Or are we to believe these critics are whiter than white, nuns perhaps, or Mary Whitehouse levels of prudishness? According to the comments, I would suggest neither apply.
And AuntyStella's crime? Child abuse? Rape? Domestic violence? Fraud perhaps? Money laundering?
No. Being a potential political candidate. The above list of activity by a man, perfectly acceptable, as is proven by the current Westminster incumbents. AuntyStella, oh my god, she is trans!! Oh she was chosen over a genetic woman, or over a bme candidate? Or their is bias because their was a lesbian candidate and AuntyStella was chosen instead?
The women cackling around this cauldron do not elaborate, just find and denigrate a suitable trans victim, spout lies and commit slander, then responses get shut down, as obviously the point has been made.
What has this AuntyStella done to deserve such character assassination? No response to that, apart from maybe exist! Shame on all of you, for treating this woman, in a worse manner than you will accept form men. Your duplicity astounds me. I really thought womankind was a better class if person, and you prove not. And yet, transwomen queue to confirm their status to be among and part if you, as their brain and soul is female, yet their body betrays them. They should be welcomed with open arms as their journey is one no person would endure through choice.
To make comment, defile a character, to demean AuntyStella without substance or evidence, to slam the door in the face of anyone wishing to endure their sacrifice is abhorrent and women who carry out these witchhunts are despicable disgusting creatures, who should be ashamed, and women everywhere should be ashamed to.
