Feminism: Sex and gender discussions

Not all TERFS are assholes. Some are just too stupid to know better.

Hmm and Hmm again.

So this "cis" white male hated "Terfs" because his friend was beaten up by a man? Why didn't he hate other men? Men like himself, men like his friend?

As for a feminist group, a nurse and police "misgendering" his friend in 2016 when they've probably sat through hours of HR about this very thing, I'm fairly shocked. So why was this "transwoman" misgendered? I don't want to assume, but I do suspect a Danielle Muscato situation.

The author never once considers that women might not feel comfortable with a penis in their circle while they discuss their rape the nasty bigots.

Ever since then I have hated TERFs. A real TERF is dangerous to not only the civil rights of all trans people, but the very safety of transgender women.

Yes, because they might be married to a violent man!

I did not use the word ally about myself until someone in a given community gives me the term. When I am told I am an ally and a good one, I take great pride in that and also humility. To know that I have listened and am contributing the betterment makes me glad.

The areas that I have struggle in? Feminists. There is a two edged sword. On one edge are the feminists who are trans unaware or unaware of their white privilege when matters of women of color come up. That is my frustration. On the other side is a more humbling section. I sometimes say triggering things. I am still learning. That said, I am still facing my demons in that area.

Like me, Adele has sometimes said incorrect things. I once had the uncomfortable distinction of correcting her on a matter. She thanked me as I have thanked her.

Poor guy, it must be hard having to correct feminists who get wrong. Can I ask him to drop the ally to women label though or not, being I'm a nasty bigot?

Wow, so his friend was attacked by the male partner of a rape victim who had objected to a man joining their therapy group - I'd imagine feelings would be running high - and this proves 'TERFs' are evil? Such twisted thinking.

Poor sod, it's pretty flaky isn't it

It must be incredibly frustrating for these purveyors of the 'TERFs are violent / dangerous / genocidal' narrative that feminists consistently fail to provide any actual examples of violence.
