Cheapening transphobia: the Unlikely Victims of the Attack on #StickerWoman

[heresyandwitchcraft]

Great piece in Conatus News by Beatrice Louis

(Apologies if it's already been posted)

Excerpt:
This cannot be controversial, although I am certain that I will be labelled as a bigot for even saying this. Refusal to accept the statement that ‘trans women/trans men are not the same as women/men’ does not, in any way suggest, imply or signal that prejudice, dislike or disgust towards trans people is justified. It simply refutes the equivalence. If trans activists wish to claim that refuting the notion of transgender or transsexual women being women is prejudicial, they’re essentially arguing that to not be considered in the female sex class is prejudicial and discriminatory in and of itself, which is of course not logically tenable. Not being a woman does not mean an individual is then treated with fear, disgust, prejudice or discrimination. To claim that the statement ‘women don’t have penises’ is transphobic, hate-filled and anti-trans is simply hyperbolic and designed to incite a hysterical blowback.

What an excellent point. I hadn't seen this piece, thank you for posting.

Quite. It's that simple.

That is an excellent article, thank you OP.

Like this.

Absolutely. And it’s time, rather than being silenced, to say this when facing claims that TWAW.
The fear of being called a bigot/ discriminatory is the weapon the TRAs are relying upon to enforce the mantra on all.
Gradually, more and more people will start to challenge and thus will facilitate proper debate
