Gingernaut - TRAs are going nuts on Twitter.

I've been amusing myself with the temper tantrums and hyperbole all morning.

My absolute favourite is this little gem.

Caitlyn Jenner is the only trans person I know that doesn't want rights

Followed by

Caitlyn Jenner is clearly transphobic and guilty of a hate crime. Why is Twitter not banning her

user1494050295 · 02/05/2021 10:01

Well said Caitlyn.

OhHolyJesus · 02/05/2021 10:01

Jenner: "it's a question of fairness"

Page: "If you're not gonna allow trans kids to play sports, children will die,"

One old, one young.One male, one female.

Both wealthy. One is a parent and is an ex-elite athlete.

Who gets to stay in the trans 'community'?

Apparently, Jenner isn't trans.

How they work this Woke Big Brother 'doublethink' into their internal logic is beyond me.

They're going nuts because the masks covering their misogynistic mugs are sliding off!

Caitlyn doesn't understand "the science" apparently 😆

WindyPudding · 02/05/2021 10:11

Good for CJ. I don’t really care if it’s to do with saying the right thing for republicans or whatever. While I’m a massive cynic, I don’t think CJ is necessarily just saying it for political reasons. There’s every reason to think a former leading athlete would have a genuine understanding of the issues and is fed up of the bullshit.

EmbarrassingAdmissions · 02/05/2021 10:13

I should have specified that transmen to compete in the female category only if they have not taken testosterone.

See here for the case of wrestler Mack Beggs who competed against girls/young women in competitions although asking to compete against boys/young men:

Mack was a transgender boy in Texas who had competed against boys in high school and did very well. When he wanted to wrestle boys at the Varsity level in his Junior year, he was told he had to wrestle girls. He stated that it was not fair to the girls and that he would rather win or lose in fair matches against boys. The state did not have the option of telling him he couldn't compete at all.

Oh yes, multimillionaire and global celebrity who is friends with Trump doesn't have any rights at all Confused

Erikrie · 02/05/2021 10:16

Well CJ certainly would understand this.

mumwon · 02/05/2021 10:17

I have three major concerns (well I have a few others but these dominate my worries): The first is this
the second is mixing in hospital -which is impractical as well as wrong FOR BOTH PARTIES because our intrinsic bodies adapted or not have different affects on disease & treatment, & privacy & dignity should be paramount.
Thirdly because sadly whether or not someone is genuine with the best of intentions there will always be an opportunity for predators to take the opportunity to harm vulnerable people. Especially when there is no safeguard to check & an assumption that if someone says they are trans they must always be genuine - even though their recent previous lifestyle provides no evidence of this.
basically its the safeguarding/safety situations

Someone on reddit posted this, which I found interesting.

WindyPudding · 02/05/2021 10:22

Also powerful, famous people, especially those who know what they’re talking about as in this case, daring to face down the ideology with reality is really important in turning the tide. It shows people they’re actually allowed to have sensible, reasoned, fairness-based thoughts.

It’s not good how left/right this argument has become in the US but I hope that falls away over time as more people speak up. Navratilova is left-wing.

Erikrie · 02/05/2021 10:23

Fallon fox calling CJ a traitor. Somehow, (and I'm not a fan of CJ) I can't see CJ thinking that breaking a woman's skull and ending her career as being in the remit of acceptable behaviour.

YouSetTheTone · 02/05/2021 10:24

The BBC headline on this might be better than usual but the article itself is still unbalanced. If it was to be an echo of the article covering Elliot Page’s interview with Oprah they would have ended the article on CJ’s quote that it ‘wasn’t fair’.

At the bottom of the article about CJ’s thoughts the BBC then link to the article covering EP’s interview, saying that EP had said banning trans kids from sports will mean kids will die. I notice they haven’t similarly updated EP’s article with a link to the one covering CJ’s thoughts for balance.

Fascinating - I thought you weren't allowed to question anyone's gender ID.

On a less amusing note, this literal cancellation of identity is par for the course on the extreme left cf. people telling Black people who don't tow the party line (eg Candace Owens) they're not Black. During the last election Biden famously said "you're not Black if you don't vote democracy".

Again, assuming PoCs/trans people etc all have homogenous political views. Any that don't conform are literally cancelled (stripped of their identity). The snake continues to eat its tail.

FightingTheFoo · 02/05/2021 10:27

*Sorry, i mangled Biden's quote. So here it is verbatim:

"If you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or Trump, then you ain't Black"

SunsetBeetch · 02/05/2021 10:27

Is it too early in the morning to start on the popcorn?

I literally know a full on gun-toting Black Republican who voted Trump in both elections. It's one thing to say you don't agree with him and that he is effectively a turkey voting for Christmas but to negate his Black identity because you disagree with his politics is ... crazy

Ereshkigalangcleg · 02/05/2021 10:29

I think this will bring a lot of sunlight. This is a view the vast majority of people see as perfectly reasonable, and coming from a famous MTF trans celebrity. The unhinged responses on social media to this will be interesting to many people.

BigWoollyJumpers · 02/05/2021 10:29

To all those angry trans out there, Caitlyn now identifies as a woman, and she is standing up for womens rights. She has therefore reached the pinnacle of being a woman. Well done her.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 02/05/2021 10:30

Ugh. What a bloody awful thing for someone to say. What an imbecile.

From one geriatric, privileged white man about another one, telling black people what they should think. Who the fuck does he think he is?

A reminder:

During the crash, a white Lexus being driven by 69-year-old Kim Howe was shoved by Jenner's sport-utility vehicle across a centre divider and into oncoming traffic, where it was struck head-on by a Hummer.

Ok. So what is Jenner? The trans umbrella now includes everyone who feels they are. And we are told we must believe people are who they say they are.

So what are they saying Jenner ‘is’ then?
