I think I've figured out why the Guilty Feminists feel guilty...

Thing is they get paid to do this. To tell women and girls who have been raped.

To re frame their trauma

The ultimate in controlling

Fuck

I read on Twitter.
That someone said when did a service stop concentrating on the people they are meant to be helping and concentrated on the people who are meant to be delivering the service

Doesn’t seem they care any more and want rape survivors to do as they are told by being re educated

How does that even work ?

Behave as we tell you to behave and think how we want you to think.

Or else

I found a screenshot - it’s not TRA specific but on the same theme by radical therapists network

Fuck this shit.

I quite agree.

Don't recall that Jesus bloke stopping to lecture everyone on how evil they were.

Whereas he is reported to have some biting and salient commentary on whitened sepulchres.

“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs, which outwardly appear beautiful, but within are full of dead people’s bones and all uncleanness.

I'm sure other religions have sayings like "love the sinner, hate the sin".

This lot seem to have trouble with that.

Don't recall that Jesus bloke stopping to lecture everyone on how evil they were.

There was an Instagram account for woke therapists who essentially said the same as reframe your trauma quite often , if you are bigoted (according to their ideology) they will re-educate you before treating you. It seems quite a common therapeutic approach among TRAs in the field.

I’m sure that must breach some professional code or other whereby therapists are not there to judge people requiring their services. I can’t believe any counselling or support body would advocate lecturing victims on their bigotry prior to dealing with the reason they require support in the first place.

This is so disgusting, honestly. What it means is that there is no rape crisis support for women in Edinburgh. A service has been taken over by this sociopathic ideologue and rape victims will not be safe to seek help there any longer.

Women in Scotland are losing our services and our rights. I hate it here so much.

Thanks, you make an important point and I posted without reflecting because I'm so fucking angry.

Well, that's the thing isn't it? There are things you do not want to be talking with men about in these sorts of circumstances.

I guess this is a crony belief for DFW. that's why she's blocking people right left and centre on twitter. having such a shaky belief challenged is unbearable

"Wadhwa’s centre is part of a national prevention program through education scheme. They offer a series of workshops hoping that young people become educated on different topics like gender and pornography. "

"The other myth is that your body may react in a physical way to sexual violence including an orgasm but that does not mean that it’s not rape because that’s a physical response. You can’t control how your body responds to violence.”

but a woman who will use her platform to sell other women up the river. what is she thinking?

Is it a rational economic decision in re: funding, Patreon and other forms of support for the podcast?

Presumably, any other perspective on this matter would lead to the cancellation of funds from a number of supporters. There is negligible social or financial capital to lose by failing to support women in the style that suits the much disdained and disrespected woman-centred way that others would support.

When/if there is a turnaround in attitudes - and a shift in public opinion, they have little to lose and only funding/capital to gain by having a damascene conversion.

And the need to depolarise this whole area and find areas of agreement on which to build a future is essential. DFW and feminists like her would have a key role to play as "coolers".

"Coolers" and their place in a deescalation strategy outlined here: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/womens_rights/a4314444-Posie-on-Talk-Radio-this-evening?msgid=109797360#109797360

I agree with Helen Joyce on the overall set of strategies. I can't think of historical examples that point any other way.

A thread talking about women and girls who feel unable to seek help because they are scared they will be called 'transphobic' for asking for a female counsellor.

why are some women so totally unable to advocate for other women?

It's the kindness conditioning. And that's me being kind.

I keep seeing comments along the lines of 'Men rape, not transwomen' by women who haven't bothered to check the fact that the pattern of criminality for males is the same regardless of how they identify

Indeed. And in the prison estate transwomen are more likely to have been convicted of a sexual assault. 1 in two as opposed around 1 in 5 of the rest of the male prison estate. Which is significant.

why are some women so totally unable to advocate for other women? what is Deborah Frances-Wright thinking?

Let's leave the male person aside here. they've proved many times that they are no friend to women, some people are just incapable of receiving that information

but a woman who will use her platform to sell other women up the river. what is she thinking?

Biology will out

Bit bio-essentialist.

MW is so very selfless, apparently. A saint among us, dedicated their lives to... inveigling their way into a women only service and then saying that they would be asking rape victims to 'reframe' their trauma so as to not offend males.

The Shameful Feminist works a hell of a lot better.

They are so close to getting it...

"A lot of people have come to Twitter to say she is not biologically a woman. I’ve talked about my adoption publicly. The truth is - biologically - I am not my mother’s daughter. But I am though. I mean - if she needs a kidney, I’m no help. Biology will out. 5/10"

Oh good grief they've invoked gender ideology myth number 20 the adoption analogy.
"Some parents can parent a child even though the child isn't biologically their own. Therefore men can be women"

Limited argument at best. To parent is a verb and a noun. You can parent in a certain way but you can't woman in a certain way.

The rest... No words. Simply none.
