@Gingernaut

TRAs are going nuts on Twitter.

Apparently, Jenner isn't trans.

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

Do they get how predictable they are? I called this, someone else called the ladder. I'm sure there are other predictions we are just waiting to tick off.
WindyPudding · 02/05/2021 11:53

Oh of course CJ is white and, conveniently for the purposes of being attacked by transactivists, considered female, so cannot be allowed to have an opinion.

So not trans, just a drag queen, but still female for the purposes of being shut down. hmmm...

R0wantrees · 02/05/2021 11:53

Its a very on-message for the Republican push back against Biden's Democrat victory.
How better to start it than with a very famous TW and Olympic champion speaking out for fairness for girls?

WindyPudding · 02/05/2021 11:56

I'm left-wing and don't like republican politics at all, but it's Biden's (and Harris's) own lookout that they took the stance they did. If they fall foul of it, they should have thought about that when they decided to throw women under the bus for woke points.

You can be left-wing and stand up top this ideology - lots of us do.

andyoldlabour · 02/05/2021 12:00

Wow! Well done Caitlyn.

EdwinPootsLovesArchaeology · 02/05/2021 12:01

Biden and Harris have been such fuckwits over this.

I think the best we can hope for is some sort of commission or inquiry, and hope it doesn't get bogged down in health insurance issues rather than focus on biology, science and sports.

DaisiesandButtercups · 02/05/2021 12:01

So Caitlyn has been excommunicated for heresy?

Now Caitlyn is no longer entitled to speak on this issue?

So basically trans = believes and publicly promotes gender identity ideology dogma as revealed by the priesthood of activists on Twitter?

Sophoclesthefox · 02/05/2021 12:07

So where are all the posters here who used to so enjoy castigating gender critical women for cosying up with right wingers, because that totally makes you an anti abortion white supremacist?

I am far from a fan, but I am very much enjoying the exploding heads that Jenner is provoking on every front Grin people are actually going to have to figure out why they believe what they believe, rather than just parroting lines.

andyoldlabour · 02/05/2021 12:08

It didn't take long for someone on twitter to call Caitlyn a "fascist".

Somehow I suspect they still won't do this.

I am the eternal optimist Grin

I’m not thinking of true believers, who will merely add their contradictions on this to the logic soup that they all swim round in anyway. I’m thinking more of the “civvies” who won’t be able to square the circle that Jenner saying that male and female bodies are different somehow now means Jenner is not actually trans at all, and this must immediately override the previous version that they were told in which Jenner was always a woman.

^people are actually going to have to figure out why they believe what they believe, rather than just parroting lines.^Somehow I suspect they still won't do this.

The problem is the mantra TWAW. If you accept that transwomen have the physical advantages of a male body, then the mantra goes out the window.

Erikrie · 02/05/2021 12:21

That's true. There will be plenty who won't be able to square the circle. More sunlight. The doors are being thrown open rapidly now, the lights are being switched on and it's just a case of poking around in the dusty corners to see what else is trying to scuttle away from the light and seek refuge in the shadows. It's been a long journey. And the clean up is going to take quite some time.

@FightingTheFoo

From Twitter: "Caitlyn Jenner JK Rowling

rich white ladies who've come to dominate trans politics the last 6 years, even though they're both clueless about trans people & issues, & most trans people desperately want them to leave us alone."

Ah yes, both Caitlyn Jenner - a gold-winning Olympian and trans woman - and JK Rowling - a woman who once struggled with her gender - are both "clueless" and totally unqualified to speak on the topic of biological males in women's sports, spaces etc.

I wonder who that leaves who IS qualified? 🤔

Ha I saw that. It was Julia Serano wasn't it? I also saw Charlotte Clymer calling Caitlin transphobic.

So Caitlin is white huh? So are Rachel McKinnon, Julia Serano, Charlotte Clymer, Hannah Mouncey, Lauren Hubbard (who is also extremely rich)....

GreyhoundG1rl · 02/05/2021 12:24

calling Caitlin transphobic.. How does this supposedly work?!

andyoldlabour · 02/05/2021 12:27

Had Caitlyn competed in the women's category in 1976, bearing in mind that there wasn't ever a women's decathlon, then Caitlyn would have won the following medals for the following individual events.
100m - gold
400m - gold
Long jump - gold
Javelin - gold
High jump - gold

Ereshkigalangcleg · 02/05/2021 12:28

Jenner would have been ridiculed in interviews if any other position than this was taken. It would have been an end to political campaigning. As it happens, this "surprised on the coffee run" comment is serving Jenner rather well.

Women should be demanding follow up questions about what Jenner thinks is fair for girls and women rather than celebrating crumbs.

Yes, definitely.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 02/05/2021 12:32

The same way non trans Helen Islan of Mermaids brought an (unsuccessful) hate crime prosecution against MTF trans person Miranda Yardley, which went all the way to court, before being unceremoniously thrown out on the first day by the judge.

WallaceinAnderland · 02/05/2021 12:33

As someone with a trans history and sporting background she should know the facts.

Mermaids on twitter making a wishy washy statement. Are they willing to concede that there is a difference in sports?

Maybe internalised transphobia is a thing (but apparently internalised homophobia isn’t).

GreyhoundG1rl - calling Caitlin transphobic.. How does this supposedly work?!

Well according to Twitter, Caitlin isn't actually trans. Or Caitlin is but a traitor. It's Schrodinger's Trans all over again. Or should I say, the "wrong" kind of trans.

You know the kind of trans that is causing literal violence, genocide and wants to erase trans people by gatekeeping their existence.

It's all very confusing. I'm having trouble keeping up.

MissBarbary · 02/05/2021 12:36

@FightingTheFoo

*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"

I missed that. It's truly awful.

You and me both, mate. All very 1984.

Should also be pointed out that in their advice to people filling out the British Cycling consultation, Stonewall recommended that people object to the testosterone lowering imposed on transwomen athletes. So push is not just to include but also to include with no changes to the male physiology of these athletes.
