Feminism: Sex and gender discussions

What is in the water this week?! Glinner now making a mockery of the cause

I know I know I should just get off twitter but this week is just back to back GC news and not in a good way.

If you haven't seen, Glinner posted a video mocking Green Leader Zack Polanski, understandable plenty of material for a comedy writer there, but the video is so unhinged and unfunny.

Some speculating Graham was drunk when he made it but it's been 24 hours and he's left it up so maybe not.

I feel like we are finally gaining real ground in this fight and this makes GCs look like a bunch of lunatics.

I know there is no formal hierarchy but like it or not, for better and worse, we do have public faces and 'spokespeople' for this fight and this is just embarrassing.

I just feel so helpless because there can't be any accountability for this kind of thing but my God.

Thanks for listening to my rant, just been a very frustrating week.

I love that we are expected to believe that someone stops being gender critical because they meet a gender critical person they don't like.

I'm not sure TRAs have quite grasped operation let them speak

Edited

Yes. Tbh I find the insults weirdly reassuring. It's all they've got.

It does seem so. There is a pattern of ‘I am GC … but ‘ type of posting that has been very prevalent since Easter. It is almost like the idea is to sow division to weaken the movement.

What they miss is that division has no effect on the arguments. Its the direct opposite of "you can't reason someone out of an argument they didn't reason themselves into'.

Im even reading the thread backwards and it still works 😂

...This is a joke, right?

Not a joke
This is DARVO and projection 101.

I don’t like most Gc feminists that I’ve met, and yes, I’ve met quite a few. I find them tribal, ideological, suspicious, and over anxious.
I’m not sure what you’re talking about being kind- I’m not unkind. I let people exist. I judge people when they behave badly.

What else you got?

Feminism was brilliant back in the day. So were union leaders. But in the last 30 years they have both become insufferable and hypocritical and everything they once stood against

Self-examining to see if I've become insufferable and hypocritical in the last 30 years ... 🤔

To be fair, some people would say I've always been insufferable. Nobody's ever called me a hypocrite, in so many words or by implication, though I've occasionally called myself one. Does that count?

I don't recall feminism making a stand against insufferability or hypocrisy. We're all about fighting sexism. Have you perhaps mixed us up with a political columnist?

What is it with the gender critical to far right pipeline? It's what made me stop engaging with a lot of the gender critical community. I agree with a lot of what they have to say ragarding sex and gender. However, seeing how many went off the deep end and started spouting racist and far right views too made me walk away. It makes me question who's funding the fight and what are their real motivations. Probably not protecting the rights of women and girls.

ADF International (currently funding Sharron Davies in her apparent attempt to scare gnc women out of running in parks), Christian nationalists, the Heritage Foundation, Tufton Street, Peter Thiel....

Transphobia is a means to an end .Split the left, yes, but encourage the idea that people can't do what they want with their own bodies. The people funding transphobia are againsg equal marriage, anti-abortion and anti-contraception.

Rachel Maddow showed last year that when governments act against trans people, they use it as a precedent to go after cis women. When certain states began to collect hospital data on trans people, they soon after began to collect info on which women had had abortions, even across state lines.

You're completely right about Linehan. He's reposted stuff making fun of the murder of Reneé Good, among many other examples of misogyny. He posts graphic nudes of people he says are trans children without their consent for pity's sake. That is not normal behaviour.

I know not every gender critical woman supports Linehan, but his obsession with posting about children - talking about their intimate body parts, in detail, most days - ought to be ringing more alarm bells.

IDEOLOGICAL???!!!! The horror! How dare these women be committed to a political & philosophical belief (that women deserve as much freedom, respect and opportunity as men)?

If you met them while performing an intimidating 'protest' against their audacity to meet up and talk about their shared belief, it wouldn't be surprising they seemed suspicious and anxious.

I mean it really doesn't matter how much people call us ugly, nasty, mad, lonely viper bitches. Or buttergasp at other people who agree with us and suggest a bunch of feminists from completely disparate backgrounds and political leanings and history have somehow accidentally become Xtian far right.

It is not and will not ever be possible to change sex.
