Evidence re GC women and white supremacism please?

[Froodwithatowel]

I'll quote JCJ here as I do not want to derail the other thread:

From my, and many other people's observation, over the last couple of years, the UK GC space, especially on twitter, has progressively merged with both the US MAGA/Christian nationalist space, and those of UK white nationalists.

It is not easy to make sense of that X thread, but this statement is one I want information on. I don't do parroting, I believe in critical thinking, evidence and independence of thought, and I have learned to be deeply cautious of being accidentally vaccuumed into the 'so and so smells so do what I tell you' strategies so very tediously rife at the moment to get people in line and useful to others, we live in very grotty times.

So please would some kind person provide me with evidence that women wanting rights, equality and single sex spaces are entangled with religious extremism and white nationalism? Actual evidence. Not aspersions, but evidence.

Gay, white and disabled are all adjectives which describe measurable, observable things. Transgender is a concept. It means different things to different people, and lots of different groups people come under its umbrella.

April Ashley was a gay man, At a time, and in a working class culture, in which being gay was just not going to be accepted at all. There is substantial writing on this matter, and also a fairly recent exhibition at the Museum Of Liverpool ( Ashley was from Liverpool). Ashley had sexual/romantic relationships with men.

Brian Epstein was a middle class man from a very different milieu - but even he had to disguise the fact.

Or I should say April Ashley was a sensitive, nascently gay child living in a tough environment with a violent and abusive mother and an alcoholic father.

There is an excellent documentary on Netflix called 'Regretters' which involves a conversation between two former TW - both now detransitioned. One of the men was, like Ashley, one of the earliest to undergo the new transsexual surgery - in Sweden in the 1960s - when being gay was not only unacceptable, but illegal as well.

He says he wanted to be loved by a man in the way that he perceived a woman might be loved by a man. This was his ardent desire. He was slight and feminine, in the manner of Ashley - and for many years managed to 'pass' fairly well...but ultimately he came to the realisation that he was not really a woman at all. This took decades to realise. He ended up thinking of himself as a type of 'third gender' neither male nor female; even though he had gone to the trouble to have a penis reconstruction.

Well worth a watch! The other detransitioner had also had the 'full surgery' - but was more clearly of the AGP variety and was actually naturally attracted to women, but because they seemed not to be attracted to him, he reckoned he'd become an attractive woman himself.

You can believe what you like.

Yes, I know! But thanks so much for the endorsement.
