Help me present evidence to my son

[AlbertaWildRose]

My DS is 18 and heavy into the TWAW belief. He thinks JK Rowling is a despicable human being for her position and thinks that women should have no problem with all of this, and it's all just "scare-mongering" to say otherwise. Whenever I try to talk to him about this I end up getting too emotional to be rational. I really want to present him with evidence that this movement is not good for women - please help direct me to some good resources. Thank you.

Define ‘gender truth’.

What in earth is "gender truth"?

Yes. The op should absolutely do this. If she wants to lose her relationship with her son 🙄

Not sure I can agree there are very silly entrenched beliefs on both sides. Some TRAs it seems are looking to protect others too frightened to protest for their own rights

Some people are gender variant

That's what JK Rowling is doing.

Trans people have the entire political establishment on their side.

What does this mean?

Not true on the second count and I don’t believe jk is going about things the right way by being so hateful and mean

You can be whatever gender you want, Diana, because gender is completely made up. That's why there were 72 of them at last count. God knows how many there are now. Hundreds, probably.

Why does anyone care?

Fuck knows.

Why is it relevant to anything?

It's not.

You might as well have toilets and prisons and sporting categories organised by star sign. That would be just as meaningful and more objectively verifiable.

Ahhh the old death by a hundred reductionist questions.

if some is too dim to grasp that or look it up there is no hope for dialogue being meaningful

And yet you have still failed to provide a single link to a single one of her tweets showing her being hateful and mean.

Nobody is getting fired for saying trans women are women. People have been fired for saying trans women are men. Even though the former is a lie and the latter is the truth.

Can you please name all 72 or reference it and stop swearing at me please

The common narrative is that trans youth have a high rate of attempted suicide and that the reasons for this are transphobia in society and lack of support. There is no evidence to support this claim.

Every suicide is a terrible tragedy and we must be extremely careful in any message we send to young people on this subject. The Samaritans guidance states that we should avoid speculation about any one ‘trigger’ for suicide and that we need to exercise caution in repeating suicide statistics.

Bit of a stretch. I’ve merely asked you to expand on what you mean. See, you can’t or won’t even attempt to without resorting to insults. Gender is a nonsensical made up concept to me so I wanted you to actually explain rather than make blanket statements. Again, boring. To state something but is unable to explain what it means is pretty dim to me.

Here ya go.

I forgot I was trying to curtail dialogue with you for the very point it is a deeply unproductive exercise. I have. You ignored it.

Stop insulting people when they ask you to actually explain what you mean. It’s not difficult. Or shouldn’t be.

Are we allowed to call each other dim on threads now? It used to be frowned upon. How exciting!

That’s a personal attack because you know you can look up gender studies without berating me.
look old boy just drop it there
I am not responsible for all the views of everyone who doesn’t agree with you

Made up nonsense with an agenda

No you didn't.

I asked you to explain why JKR's tweet yesterday about the Algerian boxer was transphobic and you linked me to a Sky News article from five months ago about a completely unrelated spat between JKR and India Willoughby.

Blimey, that list is nuts. 😮

What did I just read!

Me?? Lmfao

fucking this and fucking that is what I have had from you people all afternoon and your posts remain!!!

All gender is made up nonsense, Diana.

Why is someone identifying as one of these 72 made up genders more nonsensical than a male person identifying as female or someone identifying as neither male nor female?
