“...some cultures fought for their indentity”

[JemAppelleLafayette]

Long time lurker, occasional poster. I’m not widely out as GC in real life yet, although slowly getting there.

I just wanted to share this twitter post that has spoiled my morning and I think to me sums up the crux of the problem with a lot of male trans-allies. The ignorance displayed regarding the struggles of women for their own autonomy and identity is astounding. I don’t think it really adds anything to this board at all, am just grateful I can come here to

Oh, the fucking irony of that!

I know, I know. I’ve encountered this quite a lot amoungst “woke” male friends, this idea that every struggle matters except the one that affects 50% of any given population. It’s as if misogyny is so well woven into the fabric they can no longer see it.

I really think our problems are invisible to the majority of men.
If they could see it they'd have to do something about it, and that would be uncomfortable for them.

Blimey, that's some amazing rewriting of history from the first poster. The response it just virtue signalling bolix.

Gawd, that is infuriating.

The whole "Magdalen Berns was such a vocal advocate for women when I knew her that we passed laws to disenfranchise her" thing!! Sheesh, no wonder the woman sees the dangers clearly.

Yup.
