Re these latest tampax posts, tweets and other dots; the depths and extremes that the human mind can go to are deeply, deepy disturbing (but not surprising sadly). I don't know why we cannot say that these people need to be receiving in patient MH care, when they so obviously do, for all or sakes. There is nothing postive or bening here. I don't care whether there are 10 or 10,000 men who think like that, I do not want a single one of them anywhere near women or children (including boys)
I will probably get deleted and or lambasted for saying it, but it occurs to me that if any of this variously deviant and disturbed behaviour is/ has been going on in male toilets and in male spaces or with a view to deceiving men into sexual encounters or whatever, it doesn't surprise me at all that some men have very strong reactions to any 'male who identify as women' that displays even traces of these behaviours.
Not condoning violence at all, but maybe not all the male dislike of some transwomen is irrational, hateful, toxic-male transphobia as is often said, but actually some of it may be a strong rejection of mentally disturbed fucked up ness by some un-woke men. And there will be men who have been sexually abused as children that will find this kind of thing massively disturbing. Yes, I know we are not supposed to think about men's feelz here, but really if it is in society and affecting men, then it will affect women, and they may be our brothers, sons, cousins, DHs, fathers even. Maybe some of them knew what we are only beginning to see publically on Twitter? I don't know.
Sadly though, some men I am sure would have the problem moved to women's spaces and be happy with out of sight, out of mind.
But perhaps calling most men transphobic has been silencing men against speaking out against perversions and disturbing behaviour that they have seen? I mean it hasn't just started up because of the GRA stuff has it? The climate might be more 'accepting' (?!) and enabling now (dear deity how did we get here) but surely the propensity of certain people for certain perverted, delusional MH pathoogically awful things was always there. Now it is just in tweetable technicolour.
Maybe it was the first step (or a step) in getting to where we are now? Because certain types will use any strategy to egt what they want, even discrediting men manybe, becasue to they wanted to get here; where women are both the final hurdle and maybe the biggest/ most desired one as depsite our relative physical weakness there is no denying women's mental strength and resilience. There's an analogy there that I can't get to as I have had little sleep. Alpha and Omega or something.
I am just wondering because on trying to get my head around this and se if there are dots to join, I have been reading more on institutionalsied sexual abuse against children eg in children's homes, and there is frequently mention of cross dressing etc etc and many boy victims were disbeleived/ deliberately discredited etc. And I would guess that paedophiles would put aside whether they prefer sex with males or females if it furthers their jont cause.
Yes, of course, not all trans people or those with gender/sex dysphoria are predatory or abusive at all, and of course they may be damaged and be damaged further by how this does or doesn't link up with abusers, just as not all men are sexual abusers, but again, for safeguarding reasons, we have to be able to explore in detail and without censure what is before our eyes. If you are no harm to anyone then you will have nothing to fear from rational debate and research.
IMO we as a society need to pile a whole lot of money into MH services, safeguarding, and in taking a proper stand against damaged, perverted, abusive behaviours, committed n the main by males but with the support/ enabling of some women. It should be a source of national shame that generation after generation has to suffer any of this. I am sick of seeing people and lives destroyed.
