“You don’t get to decide whether you’re transphobic or not and you don’t get to decide you’re an ally”

[AuuYSC]

Then who does?

This was said to me by a transman when I said that buying a video game (hogwarts legacy) doesn’t define a persons morals and personal beliefs (because let’s face it, nothings really ethical unless you live off the grid completely) which of course was met with a stream of abuse and how I don’t care about trans lives.

I pointed out that actually I do, I am gender critical and I don’t think JK Rowling is transphobic but I also appreciate that trans people do face danger and need protection and I also think they have a right to be who they want to be. I’m also part of the lgbtq community and donate to the local youth club (I’ll admit it’s not just the trans people who benefit from my donation but it helps the whole community).

Am I wrong in thinking that the trans community are actually causing more harm to themselves with this game boycott because judging by the pre order sales (and the millions of people that visit HP world and theme parks and buys all the merch) that actually there isn’t a lot of people on their side and by telling people what they can and can’t do, saying they’re transphobic etc for simply buying a game or spending their money isn’t making the point they think it is?

It just really made me think about what the end goal is here, do they really think being treat as the biological sex they identify with, will help them?

Imagine if we all said okay trans men are men and trans women are women and we’ll treat them like such - trans men will be put into male prisons and wards (imagine how that’ll go), medical treatment will be restricted only to biological sex so if you’re a transman you can’t have smears because men don’t have a cervix etc obviously it’s absolutely ridiculous and won’t happen but I just don’t see the benefit of the whole “transwomen are women” stance, I think they sound be treat as trans people and we look at options for them like a third toilet option or a third sports category etc something that will benefit them without causing harm to biological men and women.

Sorry I went onto a bit of a rant, I’ve never considered myself to be transphobic but I guess if it’s not something I can decide for myself then who knows.

It fascinates me that women's humour is not allowed in this stuff.

"we're going to guillotine you" = joke

"fuck off, why would I be bothered by your opinion you eejit" = GHASTLY LACK OF SELF AWARENESS FROM A WOMAN WHO SHOULD BE KIND.

"Watch what you say in there or it'll be the guillotine for you Marie....oh come on I was only having a laugh...where's your sense of humour?"

They are terrified of women’s mocking and humour because they absolutely cannot laugh at themselves as it bursts the illusion.

Our role is just to tell everyone how wonderful they are and mop their fevered brow.

NO.

When someone calls you a name, it means they've already lost the debate because they ran out of reasonable arguments.

I, for one, think it's relatively easy to argue when something appears sexist or racist. I've had things I didn't know were considered racist explained to me and 9/10 it made perfect sense or I learned a new thing about history or culture. The opposite happens the more people try to explain transgender ideology to me. It's not based on supporting evidence and it never makes sense.

If someone disagrees with me, I expect them to have some arguments and data to explain why. "That's transphobia!" without explanation isn't the gotcha they think it is.

I wouldn't doubt it.

What's that saying?

Men are afraid women will laugh at them
Women are afraid men will kill them

That's it sorry that's all I've got I've yet to find an argument that goes past that

That would have made more sense without the last four words...

@SinnerBoy shit youre right.

Capitulation without exception.

"Men fear women because they might laugh at them.
Women fear men because they might kill them."

Shit. Cross posted with the hot beetle.

Why your not to bad yourself handsome

😘

Ooh you didn't mean that sort of hot did you. As you were

Haha! Do you identify as hot? That is all that matters. 😉

Now you've reminded me that I identify as an athletic person with a fast metabolism that can eat a mars a day with no ill consequences. <sobs into pillow>.

Seriously, all us slim women trapped in obese bodies... where's our medical intervention?
