wellbehavedwomen:
"It's absolutely universities, and it's adults, not just the students. A couple of the nicest, brightest women I know revert to bots with this subject. By which I mean they don't make sensible, reasoned arguments. They parrot all the lines. Debating the right to exist/are trans people not human/transwomen are women (so no need to explore any conflict of rights because the long, long history of penis havers oppressing vagina havers, and being bigger and stronger in order to do it, is erased...) it's honestly bonkers and as has often been said, religious in overtones. Nothing else causes such rabid, kneejerk responses. Pavlovian levels of indoctrination."
So they don't even see a possible conflict of rights or the kind of situation where women's rights would be lost if all the demands of trans rights activists would be satisfied? They have learned all this without any nuanced context, then.
My own surmise has always been that very young and fairly privileged white women in the West are enjoying the benefits of the second wave of feminism in that places like universities are not as sexist as they were not so long ago. It is possible, at that life stage and for that demographic to assume that women and men are fairly equal (with the exception of sexual violence) and that all the problems have been sorted.
But I would still think that smart individuals would consider the consequences of all the changes that are being demanded, and not only the consequences for transgender people but everyone else. Of course the mantra 'transwomen are women' makes that fairly difficult, though one might get somewhere by pointing out that the mantra certainly doesn't serve the transwomen if it is applied in, say, a medical context where obeying the mantra could result in death even. In other words, it is not true that 'transwomen are women' in all possible contexts.
