Wrong side of history

Here is something I know to be true: those campaigning against trans rights will fail. Your money will be raised and spent and wasted. Your legal challenges will not succeed. Your relentless attempts to do injustice will fail. You are on the wrong side of history. Your children will grow up knowing better than you. You cannot stop progress. Your efforts are in vain.

And every time I'm proven right - every time a court judgment goes against you and every time a law protecting trans men and women is passed and every time equality is further enshrined in the laws of this country I am going to return to this thread for the pure and petty purpose of telling you I TOLD YOU SO.

I can't tell you how much I've enjoyed this, or how much it pleases me that 200 comments have been spent arguing with me rather than spreading poisonous ideology elsewhere.

Hey, we're (biological) women - we can multi-task!

Winners write the history books - if the Nazis had won World War 2, then sterilising children and mutilating healthy bodies (as practised by Dr 'Death' Josef Mengele) would have been on the right side of history. So yeah, if the MRAs end up forcing their women-erasing agenda through, then you WILL be on the right side of history. Something for us all to look forward to, eh?

You do realise that there are probably hundreds of lurkers reading this thread, yes? I doubt it is coincidence that the donations have steadily gone up since you started it.

I mentioned that earlier Queen

No amount of surgery can replicate that ☺

Icantreachthepretzels · 15/01/2018 20:53

both this:
The long bend towards justice sounds like a really hard core toilet cleaner.
And this:
Mind the security guy doesn't cup your plums on the way through security at the airport.
Have made me laugh out loud in just the last 7 posts. Are you sure you people are really feminists? you don't seem hatchet faced and humourless enough for my tastes!

"pleases me that 200 comments have been spent arguing with me rather than spreading poisonous ideology elsewhere"

Aww it's the old "don't you care about food banks, homelessness, la la la" in a different form. We're mums you know, you stereotyped us yourself. We own you at multitasking.

Oh, I can do both - or at least I can when I'm not helping putting my kids (boys, who know that they can wear and play with anything they want and it makes them no less male, and that being male just means they have a penis and nothing more) to bed and watching TV with DP after a long day at work.

Oh, and I will point out, it's less arguing, and more pointing and laughing at the self-righteous fool.

I can only speak for myself but I'm a ball scratching, beer drinking fella.

I have the uneasy feeling that cupping the plums (fecking LOVE that phrase btw) is possibly the whole point of the thread for the OP...

Xenophile · 15/01/2018 21:08

I would put good money on the fact that "Lyra" hasn't read a single post on this thread.

Possibly because they'd need someone to explain the long words, possibly because they are merely a GF.

Enjoy your flight "Lyra", hope you manage to ice some cakes and shit while you're on it.

Rufustherenegadereindeer1 · 15/01/2018 21:09

your descendants will wonder how you could ever have thought the way you did

Anyone who matters to me knows that i am not transphobic

the vast vast vast majority of posters on here are not transphobic or fighting against trans rights

EmpressOfTheSpartacusOceans · 15/01/2018 21:10

How do women circle jerk? Do we each hold each others vibrators? Bit weird, I prefer a nice knitting circle myself.

Pre-op transwomen could circle jerk all right.

BeyondWW · 15/01/2018 21:11

I'm sure someone already asked, but where exactly are these descendants coming from? Do you know how babies are made?

Was about to post the exact same thing

As an avid fanfiction writer I must protest! It is a healthy and creative way to...mumble mumble..something something - OK I'm a loser.
I bet my fanfic has a lot less slashwrittenforhet'stittilation/genderbending/kink/Dom/Sub/ageplay/porn without plot in it that Mx Potter's does though.

some very very disturbing things out there in the world of fanfic. I've never considered before that it was being written by burly AGPs. I always assumed it was the disturbing psyches of teenage girls with horrific internalised misogyny. That's given me food for thought ...

AssignedPuuurfectAtBirth · 15/01/2018 21:15

The Anime thing is very strong with TW.

Rufustherenegadereindeer1 · 15/01/2018 21:15

Agree with horsey

I always think 'the wrong side of history' is a stupid phrase...given that, as horsey said, history is written by the victors

EmpressOfTheSpartacusOceans · 15/01/2018 21:15

Well, I think we should all thank Lyra for inspiring people to donate.
