Vancouver Rape Relief hate continues on medium

If Oger had a genuine case, Oger wouldn't have to pretend that women running a rape relief centre are neo-Nazis.

whoever wrote that pile of rubbish is delusional. Its not hatred to have a single sex space for women to feel safe and recover, when healing from male violence.

As for calling male bodied individuals women-its just nonsense. They are transwomen and there's a clear difference.

Jesus Christ that is unhinged!

I've donated before, but I'm going to set up a monthly donation now - whilst I don't live in Vancouver, I have family connections there (who god willing will never need their services - but I'd like them to be available)

I donate every month as well and will for the rest of my life. It's staggering that people this evil exist, that they would see brutalised women forced to surrender their safety and well being just so that women hating men get their kicks.

Apart from anything else, that's a truly terrible piece of writing!

Piling up emotive adjectives does not an argument make.

I've already got a SO for VRR. I'm not a Nazi or a right wing American last time I checked...

I will be making another donation to VRR today. To quote these malignant pricks, "That’s quick and simple activism you can do wherever you are." They will never defeat us.

I have stopped all my monthly donations, including to VRR but I will send a one off to them, in honour of this 'article'. Glad it's been deleted. Medium were quite sensible doing that.

Extraordinary piece. I'm trying to limit the amount of scary stuff I read at the moment but for that I will make an exception.

"activists" call everyone nazi!

You can donate to VRR either monthly or a one off. Cutting off the need for state funding removes one of the levers over them if you are able to afford it.

if they actually cared about trans identifying people suffering DV they would use all this money and energy to set up their own shelter, where all genders and both sexes could sleep / shower etc together as they wish.

There are other shelters like that in Vancouver. This one is the only one that isn't open to all genders / both sexes. There's even a LBTQ shelter. So it's not at all about not having a shelter, it's about not allowing women to have ANY space where biological males are not included.

Can we appreciate the open call to violence and intimidation of the women who run VRR, while cautioning not to damage the buildings, so that once the women have been driven out, these people can use them.

Colonization, violence, intimidation, and a cherry on top of caring more about real estate than human beings. Don't anyone ever tell me I need to find a middle ground with those who hold to this ideology. What is the reasonable step beyond "No." to people who think this way?

I don't know anything about this shelter. I assume it is a shelter for women fleeing rape and DV? Does it exclude sex workers?

No idea. Don’t understand women at all.

Wow Izaguirre just can't bear the thought of women not being compliant, they must be forced into submission by any means possible including obviously violence

The piece has gone now hasn’t it - but screenshotted so allllll over Twitter. That won’t be the end of it - the mask slipped a wee bit there I didn’t it.

I read that earlier, on Twitter.

Somebody mentioned that there are at least eight other rape refuges in Vancouver which accept transwomen. So it's got fuck all to do with provision.

According to Blanchard, on Twitter, most transactivists are AGP.

Using raped and abused women to validate your fetish or your gender dysphoria is absolutely disgusting.

Fortunately, most people can see that article for the frothing outpourings of a very disturbed individual.

We can’t all be like the heroic woman who came close to delivering a blow for justice on TERF Julie Bindle. Do what you can manage.

"heroic woman"

they bitterly clung to their provincial views all the way to Canada’s Supreme Court that unjustly validated their phobia

Somebody wrote that without even for a moment of thinking how absurd it looks? With utter certainty that they know better than their country's highest court?

What a disgusting propaganda piece.

Ah @Soontobe60, but it’s not about the feelings of women who have been raped. That’s where you are going wrong. Don’t you understand - their feelings don’t matter because they are hateful Nazi bigots ?

The only thing that matters is the feelings of trans women who want to share private, safe spaces with vulnerable XX women. Remember their feelings must be centred in everything.

Bloody hell! That's some vitriol there!
Why would anyone with any common sense not think that allowing trans women access to a woman's rape centre is barmy? The very last thing any woman would want to happen should they have been subjected to a rape would be to access what they consider to be a safe space which is full of trans women. How cruel and traumatic would that be.
The city of Vancouver should be very ashamed of itself right now. Women deserve better.
