Intersectionality appropriation explained by Lisa re Sally Hines

Ya fud indeed

Get tae fuck, Nico.

Let me get this straight (lol) on Nico.

He feels that a gathering of female bodied people benefits from a male bodied person to tell them that female bodies don't matter and people are actually buying this load of old bumwash?

What the FUCK?

LOL!

“I find myself spiralling,” said the Scream 4 actor, “thinking and feeling the depths of my own gender and queer identity—thinking about what it would feel like to be someone who looks like me up there talking to someone who looks like them.”

Strangely this makes me want to post the pic of my badge collection again so I shall...

Age is protected

Yes, apologies, it is one of the 9 protected characteristics, so too sex and gender reasignment.

I was a bit distracted yesterday.

The point I wanted to make was that people rarely seem to seek to challenge dancing groups / events which are aimed at certain age groups.

I have no words for the entitled narcissism of that statement

My work wouldn’t let me organise an informal mothers’ group unless I included fathers.

Yet lots of dancing events are advertised for the under 12s, over 25s, over 65s etc and age is not a protected characteristic in the Equality Act hmm

Age is protected.

The entitled narcissism of that statement...

MASCULINE AND FEMININE RIGHTS

Women were not historically oppressed because they 'felt feminine'.

Thought this statement was interesting and relevent to the OP,

“how important it is for someone who looks like me, with my non-binary identity, to occupy and leverage predominantly cis female-bodied spaces.”

Had to read that several times to understand...

Occupy women's spaces?????

'Nico Tortorella: Non-binary folks should go to women’s events'
(extract)
Non-binary actor Nico Tortorella has justified attending Glamour magazine‘s Women of the Year summit in an emotional call to break down the gender binary.

After appearing on a panel at the November 11 event in New York City, the bisexual Younger star wrote on Instagram the next day (November 12) about “how important it is for someone who looks like me, with my non-binary identity, to occupy and leverage predominantly cis female-bodied spaces.”

They urged their followers to “find a way of addressing the discrimination faced by women without upholding the gender binary,” which they said was a way of “making us feel as if femininity and masculinity have to be distinct and opposing.”

Tortorella, who was on the panel with model Ashley Graham, transgender Pose actor Indya Moore, comedian Phoebe Robinson and bisexual Arrested Development star Alia Shawkat, said they always think “Why me?” when invited to female events.

“I find myself spiralling,” said the Scream 4 actor, “thinking and feeling the depths of my own gender and queer identity—thinking about what it would feel like to be someone who looks like me up there talking to someone who looks like them.”

But Tortorella said that the “graceful powerhouse women” they were surrounded by at the event had made them realise they belonged.

“I am feminine,” wrote the 30-year-old star. “I am masculine. You are feminine. You are masculine. All to varying degrees. The critical balance of the two has been philosophised since the beginning of time.

“Queer rights, and trans rights, are inherently women’s rights. MASCULINE AND FEMININE RIGHTS,” they continued.

“The more we feed into the binary the more divided we become. The sooner we all band together… Women, men, and everyone in between to not fight this issue but correct the imbalance, the sooner we will have some love-based social order in this world.” (continues)

Thank you for this. I've only just heard of SH on the WH prog.

Overwhelmingly it was clear she has zero understanding of intersectionality. She used it when necessary then totally ignored it when it didn't suit (ie that women matter). This film has been an excellent view as it highlights why true intersectionality matters and is real and how it's real; something I've felt for a while but not been able to get straight in my head.

I'm going to have to watch it again several times to fully get what she's saying just towards the end. Love Lisa so much.

I think some absolutely reject it and some want it all ways.

But "trans mascs" don't acknowledge their female sex at all do they?

They do, its rebranded!

That they are neither man/woman and also want access on the basis of being both male & female.

Eye. Roll.

But "trans mascs" don't acknowledge their female sex at all do they?

I want my cake, I want to eat it. And I'll have yours too.

Why doesn't your friend just say no? If it's not publicly funded I see no reason to capitulate. Say vulva only. If they ask if will check pants, get her to send a wink icon.

Everyone knows what a woman is, we all came out of one.

Anyone pretending not to know in this context is being a virtual signalling bully.

I'm sorry they've screwed with your friend OP.

These people don't give a shit about her small dance class or attending it. They just want to destroy it.

Why the fuck would they be? By their own batshit logic they aren't women. They're not asking in good faith. They're doing it to cause trouble. This is what is happening to women's spaces.

Eresh There seems to be a dual perspective within the non-binary community (with no sense of irony). That they are neither man/woman and also want access on the basis of being both male & female.

They just want to prevent women from meeting without males present because they are anti-women.

Exactly this.

op you do realise that those people have no interest in actually attending the monthly dance don't you?

They just want to prevent women from meeting without males present because they are anti-women.

If your friend had originally said 'trans friendly' then there would have been no bother.

OK. Next come the non-binaries asking if they are welcome. So, if someone is "non binary and trans masc" are they welcome?
