Saw this post on twitter and it is just terrifying how he justifies this type of thinking and behavior as if it is normal. This is why we need our own safe spaces. Imagine letting this guy in ???

Oh good god. Love yourself all you like, Wrenilla, that's, er, adorable, I'm sure.

Just please, please please don't love yourself in the women's changing rooms.

Once upon a time homicidal maniacs were considered candidates for therapy. Now we're supposed to love them?

All I can think is "so openminded their brains fell out"....

Oh god, I think I'd rather take my chances in the Ladies with Buffalo Bill!

These TRAs who hate Silence of the Lambs don't seem to get that BB was inspired by a real serial killer, Ed Gein.

"It literally took decades for my transgender feelings to not manifest in dangerous ways"

This is why we don't want you in our spaces mate Hmm

@Datun

And I'm getting a little tired of people saying tw like this aren't representative.

I don't give a fuck if it's representative. If it allows people like this, loads of them, into our spaces, then its bloody representative of who's coming in.

Tbh it's not acceptable if it allows just one person like this into women's spaces.

I simply can't fathom why anyone of sound mind would support an ideology that makes the lives of predatory males easier.

The whole discourse totally negates the risk to all females in favour of a small minority of men.

Equally you are right, I see online so many people like those referenced in the OP that the idea that they do not represent a statistically significant proportion of TRA's absurd.

What's worse is that (like the above) they are not hiding. They take great satisfaction in publicly flaunting their thoughts/behaviours.

It's there in plain sight yet there are a cohort of people who still refuse to see what's in front of them.

Yes.

Unless anyone has any bright ideas on how we can write the law so that we keep weirdos like this out while letting the nice transwomen in.

Anyone got any suggestions? I'm open to hearing ways how this could be done.

I know some very nice men who I’m sure aren’t a threat.

Still not getting changed in front of them.

Since being a woman is an amorphous, limitless identify, evidenced by performative femininity, anyone can display in order to enter single-sex spaces, we already have a precedent for policy based in feelings.

Therefore I see no problem with initiating an exclusion policy for women’s spaces based on, “I feel that’s a creepy fucker best kept away from women and girls.”

This is the stuff of nightmares

WishICouldThinkOfAGoodName · 21/09/2020 06:55

OMG.... this is terrifying. He openly discusses dismembering female bodies. How can he be so brazen?

Because he knows that no matter how many examples like him we point out we still get shouted down and called bigots.

We need to store these tweets and crime reports so we always have them ready to show anyone who dismisses our concerns. Thanks for posting, Mamacherie.

How lovely Shock

It seems like all safeguarding goes out of the window when it comes to males being able to Self ID into women’s spaces.

Haven’t read the blurb just looked at the pic. I wonder who their inspiration is?

Queenoftheashes · 21/09/2020 08:11

This guy is a fucking creep. Also it was specifically covered in silence of the lambs that buffalo bill was not in fact trans, did he even read it?

CrossPorpoises · 21/09/2020 08:27

I wonder what it is that makes him hate women and children so much?

SerenityNowwwww · 21/09/2020 09:35

I had a quick look at the copy - say ‘oppressed class’ and something about drawing dismembered female bodies.

That’s some narrative you’ve got going there, pal. I’d suggest speaking to a professional.

TyroBurningDownTheCloset · 21/09/2020 10:29

How to prevent this while letting the 'box's tw in is easy: bring back and strengthen the gatekeeping.

The requirement to satisfy a doctor that you're not motivated by sexual perversion served a safeguarding function. It was supposed to weed out people such as the delightful specimen in the OP.

I propose we make the production of a GRC mandatory if a male wishes to access female spaces (actually I don't, but in the interests of a pragmatic solution that the middle ground would accept). And I propose that in order to acquire a GRC a male must be able to demonstrate, to the satisfaction of doctors of both sexes trained in identifying misogynistic and potentially dangerous thoughts/traits/behaviours, that he is not a threat.

Their privacy rights should not override our safety rights. Tighten GRC rquirements, and then no GRC = no entry. Job done.

And if that means businesses have to stump up for toilet attendants then so be it - job creation is pretty important, after all!
