Why is it bigoted to say sex matters?

Why is it bigoted to say that women need single sex spaces and sports for fairness and equality?

Bigot = someone who disagrees with wonderful me

Hateful Bigot = someone who can produce rational arguments against the views held by wonderful me

Facist = someone who’s arguments might convince me if I don’t put my fingers in my ears and shout La La La very loudly

Exactly. At least we don't make death/rape threats.

Why are you proud?

In the same way that you’d feel proud if a flat earther called you out for knowing the Earth is round.

Go OP 👏🙌 What these numpties haven’t grasped is that terf is a term to be very proud of. It means you understand basic science - men can’t be women (and vice versa) and their penises don’t belong in our safe spaces.

ClaphamSouth · 18/03/2023 11:48

Why are your only two posts under that name on a feminism board denigrating women, @Mum121231? Are you lost?

That’s nice dear.

Bovril2000 · 18/03/2023 12:27

Woohoo! That says to me you are standing up for the fights of girls and women to feel safe. Well done xxx

'Bigot' is another term that's been repurposed to mean 'anyone I dislike'.

You think it's fine for you to come and call people 'vile' and 'bigot', as if name calling on the internet somehow gives you the moral high ground?

Odd behaviour.

ArabellaScott · 18/03/2023 14:49

Whenever someone comes on the feminist board specifically to call women names, that's a demonstration, again, both of the need for feminism and that we are making progress.

nilsmousehammer · 18/03/2023 14:52

They only ever tackle the one with the ball OP.

Largely, it means you said no to male people's unconditional dominance of you and everything.

BluebellBlueballs · 18/03/2023 15:07

Calling posters Bigot is essentially saying you can't counter their argument @Mum121231

Why don't you have another go at telling us why we are all wrong without resorting to insults

Anyone fancy a game of 'bigot bingo' ? 😂

Me! I'll go first

Can't you just 'be kind' @Bunshaped

GandhiDeclaredWarOnYou · 18/03/2023 16:30

Me next!

You know what it stands for?

Tired of Explaining Reality to Fuckwits.

Mumsnet taught me that. 😀

Join the club 😊

I’ll play. How long before “hysterical” gets used.

BluebellBlueballs · 18/03/2023 16:43

Have we had comparisons to racism/ eugenics/ nazis yet?

WaityWTF · 18/03/2023 21:43

bigot:

a person who is obstinately or unreasonably attached to a belief, opinion, or faction, especially one who is prejudiced against or antagonistic towards a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular group.

Seems like a pretty accurate description of many posts and posters on the sex and gender board.

If you post terf-pride into the feminism chat board there will be push-back, and you’re going to get called out for bigotry.

if you don’t perceive your behaviour as bigotry that’s on you. It doesn’t magically make it not bigotry though.

Just been called a TERF on SM ...

We don't really care about you calling us out for bigotry. Sorreee!

Congratulations, darling

Calling someone a 'bigot' doesn't make it true.

Genuine question for the anti-terfs, does this bigotry thing only go one way? What about bigotry against terfs, or is that ok cos terfs don't count?

Corrag · 18/03/2023 21:56

I imagine "literal violence" will be along shortly.

The word's used purely as an ad hom insult.
