Do we want you in our changing room? Do we want to take photos of you. Do we fuck. It's all about him. Not a care for anyone else.

"I'm still not going to use itsshower facility. Too risky. Some random transphobe makes a fuss, and it becomes a whole thing. Not worth it."

Alternative: "I don't use the female showers because I'm male, and aware that 1 in 5 women have been raped, and that the majority have been assaulted or harassed by men. I'm also aware that even the woman fortunate enough never to have been harassed might not feel comfortable sharing a shower with someone male, no matter the gender identity. I respect women so I try not to make them uncomfortable."

Charlotte Clymer in a previous existence was considered by many to be verbally abusive towards women. Charlotte is also a 6foot + army veteran who would be unlikely to fear many people while out and about.

"Transgender and nonbinary people are constantly adjusting and revolving our lives around the preferences and feelings of cisgender people, not because we want to do that but because there aren't enough hours in the day to fight every battle and not enough rights to guarantee our safety."

You could say the exact same thing about women

Are they confused?

Our murders are somehow considered insignificant. Our bodies are constantly sexualized

It sounds like they are talking about biological women’s experience? Confused

Ah, Charlotte Clymer. Who famously berated a white woman for identifying as black, then entirely without any sense of irony identified as both a woman and a lesbian.

Beerincomechampagnetastes · 18/06/2020 16:40

Nothing this person has written is different from what we as biological women experience since time began.

Last year, I was sexually assaulted by a cisgender, heterosexual man in a public space. He groped me, and I was so shocked that I didn't know what to do

Yep. Men are violent. That’s why women need protection. Get angry at men please.

This is Charlotte Clymer pre-transition, BTW:

Where did JKR say firing people who were gay or trans was fine? I am sure she, as the rest of us, welcomes the Supreme court decision. Jesus fucking Christ they just make it all up in order to be the perpetual victims.

Her transphobic remarks nothing she said was transphobia...ffs

Oh, FFS Angry

I am in NO way fine about it and don't want that (clearly male) person in my changing room.

Apparently that makes me a 'random 'transphobe'. SO. BE. FUCKING. IT!
