Actual gender critical left

[JumpingPumpkin]

I read this on their FB page today. I'm under no illusions as to whether Trump is genuinely supportive of women's rights (I don't believe he is), however I don't see how any of this was going to get resolved with the insane left in power.

There was no indication that any rollback was going to happen with Biden/Harris. I'm just wondering if anyone can comment on this as I do feel Trump is going to be a disaster in other areas.

"Ruth Serwotka:

"I'm not disappointed or shocked to see a large number of women who claim to be 'gender critical' embrace Trump and his billionaire oligarchy. It was written in the politics of many of them years ago.

Repeatedly I and other socialist feminists pointed out the ultra right wing drift, the myopic, endless focus on one thing to the point of banality, the reactionary evolution towards the Proud Boys and the shift towards upholding of traditional gender norms that implies.

Many of these women have become the enablers of a new age of reaction in America and elsewhere. They're currently on Musks social media platform cracking stupid jokes about the world not being in the grip of lunatics. They're celebrating as a victory that Trump has declared the existence of only two sexes (as if he's a deity).

There is zero focus on the fact Trump knows for sure which is the better sex, or his complaint that malign feminine energy, otherwise known as feminism, has brought America to its knees. No worries for our GC's. Nothing to see. Let's say we've won!

Well, biological sex is real for sure, but women have won nothing with Tumps election and could well lose everything, especially reproductive rights.

As matters progress I'm interested to see whether the "GCs" will unravel in the face of mass deportations of women and children, or enforced child bearing or the loss of freedom for lesbian and gay sexuality. Will they admit their hapless, clueless niavety or will they finally go down as red hot fascists in the end?"

Not all the left accept that men can be women. Large numbers in the Labour Party don't and the Communist Party (surely on the left)
categorically doesn't.

Note to self: Dont feed the trolls.

Thank you for the reminder. It's a shame in a way as I was quite pleased with the post I was just about to make but you're right. I've deleted it and I'm going back to Kara Dansky's book now, goodnight all.

"You got in bed with actual fascists "

What is your definition of actual fascists /fascism?

(I went to school in Germany, and it's generally frowned upon here to use fascism as as a club to pummel the opposition when you have no winning argument. It's intellectually lazy and also just shows that you haven't actually understood what fascism is)

Well, biological sex is real for sure, but women have won nothing with Tumps election and could well lose everything, especially reproductive rights.

Well if the Left hadn't been such a disappointment......

They only ever see reproductive rights as a carrot to dangle at election time and didn't give a fuck about biological sex , so.....

The dawning realisation for me, in the last few years, is that the left don't care about women either.

Sure, they'll play along when it suits them (see abortion rights, which have benefits to men too). But they didn't care enough to secure women's abortion rights when they had the chance, they walked out of Afghanistan in the full knowledge of what that would mean for its women. And the second women's rights came into conflict with delusional men, they backed the bros enthusiastically.

So consider my eyes well and truly opened. 🙄

I am sure it will not bother RS and the coterie of AGCL that I have absolutely zero interest in anything they have to say. They achieved the square root of bugger all.

I very much agree with this 👍

I heard that he believes today is Wednesday. Anyone who believes that too is clearly a screaming fascist too, yes?

What is your definition of actual fascists /fascism?

Moat people who bandy this term around wouldn’t know a fascist if they tripped over them in the dark. To them it’s another way of saying “politically to the right of me”, even if that means someone is just further towards the centre-left or a centrist. They’re terrified of someone who has a different opinion from them, to them that’s evil as they are Good People with Correct Views.

They have no idea about actual fascism.

General rending of clothes and self flagellation, I suppose. Who knows.

Full public repentance is required.

Good to know. Maybe someone could send me the memo so I'm on top of the details

Bullshit about the left again OP.

My thoughts exactly. It's impossible to defend reproductive rights when you cannot define 'woman'. Whilst American feminists and the Democrats were busy tying themselves in knots over 'pregnant people' and the contraceptive needs of LGBTQI+ folks (who would, surely, have to try REALLY QUITE HARD to get pregnant), the Republican-appointed judges changed the law on abortion.

I despise Trump and all that he stands for, but on this single issue he is correct and the longer the Democrats continue to deny and obfuscate, the less electable they will become. I can only hope Starmer and the British left are willing to heed the lesson over here.

Since the left's demand for fascism far outstrips the supply, the definition has to keep expanding.

Looking at the latest annual report from Hope Not Hate - who are paid by the government on the basis that they're supposed to be some kind of experts - the "far right" seems to encompass everyone who's slightly more conservative than Penny Mordaunt.

I believe there’s a mailing list for updates. Currently it’s the donning of a hair shirt, beating oneself in the street and reciting one’s gender critical crimes three times a day for a week, but requirements do change.

It used to be everything is transphobic it is now everything is fascist as the go to insult.

Tedious and ridiculous and shows a distinct lack of intelligence.

O Lord! We are going to end up like those young folx on YouTube who have to spend five minutes at the start of a video denouncing JKR and all her works and pomps before they get to show off their Harry Potter merch.

Does one of the AGCL follow ringing a bell and shouting Shame? They really should it would so add to the optics one really must put on a good show when one is mounting the high horse of self righteousness.

Yeah, it’s just the usual badly-written lazy bilge full of silly, erroneous assumptions we’ve’ r come to expect from Serwotka. Advanced with all the usual mis-placed confidence and pomposity. She was always going to be one of the mob who are desperately falling over themselves to paint us as ‘far-right’. 🙄

Nothing to see here.

So much this.

So children can just be sacrificed until the point that someone left wing enough wakes up?

Fuck that shit.

Of course, I can’t believe you have to ask. How else would the AGCL be able to signal their virtue?

Plans are afoot to have one’s front door daubed with a black cross too, but that’s subject to the procurement of sufficient quantities of paint to deal with the sheer number of heretics.

Well transgenderism has taken me down some weird online wormholes over the last few years and if we end up having to choose between Project 2025 and Eugenic Transhumanism I'm rolling with the former. I'm not even sure I'm joking...

I don't claim to be 'gender critical' - TRAs put that label on me.

As matters progress I'm interested to see whether the "GCs" will unravel in the face of mass deportations of women and children, or enforced child bearing or the loss of freedom for lesbian and gay sexuality. Will they admit their hapless, clueless niavety or will they finally go down as red hot fascists in the end?"

Loss of freedom for lesbian and gay sexuality already happened under the Biden administration.

As for enforced child bearing... naivety is not realising the true horrors of what living in a TRA world might come to. It is worth doing almost anything to stop it - yes even voting for Trump.

If only Ruth and pals had managed to convince the left to stand up to Genderism - if they hadn’t been so useless at defending women’s rights there would’ve been no vacuum for Trump to fill.

The ‘actual gender critical left’ are a failure and should apologise to all women everywhere for being so shite.

The AGCL have had a lot of time on their hands waiting for that seat on the table. Obviously not enough time to critise the left, but enough time to imagine a dystopian future.

Women had two choices - get wins regarding child transition, knowing there is a possibility of other fights down the line.

Or watch as more and more children are groomed into transitioning.

The only way they could claim moral superiority is to believe a prolonged environment of childhood transitioning is the better outcome.
