Guardian: weaponised emotional blackmail from 14yo 'trans' athlete

[teawamutu]

The Guardian's rearguard action on reality continues. Apparently the problem is not the parents and authorities who conspired to lie to this boy, coddle his delusions, disadvantage all girls around him in the service of his own wishful thinking etc etc etc: it's definitely the people who pointed it out:

I am prepared to feel a little sorry for the kid, who couldn't have been exposed like this if the useful idiots around him had done their fucking jobs. But the Grauniad can fuck off with the tired 'beee kiiiind' shit as a solution. Been there, binned the t-shirt. We want our shit back.

As I've said many times already, if the anaconda is really a gerbil, of course it wouldn't eat gerbils.

There is no point in using "cis" as women are not subsets of women,
By using "cis" you are forcing people to follow your belief in gender identity.

And once again in a slightly different way, you are offended that posters won't use your and this boy's chosen labels, Yet you force your choice of labels on others.

You are a hypocrite.

<ticks 'but intersex' off the tra bingo card>

DSDs are: vanishingly rare; still only affect males or females, ie every human ever born.

Assuming, as we safely can, that this young man is a completely normal biological male, you think he shouldn't be supervising girls in the shower even if he claims to have ladyfeeelz in his head?

I have to go. Two last things:

One - an anaconda who genuinely thinks it's a gerbil would not eat other gerbils, unless they were a trans-gerbil cannibal. This is unlikely.

Two - the anaconda and the gerbil is NOT my analogy!

So if a woman can have any type of mind and any type of body, and a man also can have any type of mind and any type of body,

1. What is the actual difference between men and women?
2. Why is this difference, whatever it may be, somehow of the greatest importance, while the very obvious fact of the physical differences between the sexes which have a huge impact in many aspects of our lives can be handwaved away so much that if soneone feels like the opposite sex we might as well decide they are the opposite sex?

I didn't mean anything about intersex, but you have a point. I meant that feeling as if you are the opposite sex to your body can also have a biological basis. Sorry to spoil your bingo card.

I think it's very sexist to be defined only by your genitals.

Sorry?

Which biological females have a penis?

I'm afraid that's not how it works, you either believe it or you don't, there is no forfeiting. You can be a criminal and still be Trans.

You are so nearly there, what other human/male behaviours do you think trans women would have to exhibit for you not to believe them?

Gosh this thread has taken a turn I didn't see coming. Is Beetle around? I'd love to see an anaconda on a gerbil wheel.

Also, what's a demigirl??

So are you saying a man who genuinely thinks he’s a woman would never harm another woman? Because even women harm each other sometimes you know, and we have plenty of evidence of transwomen harming women and girls over the years.

Even if that was the case and they never would, we can’t know which ones really believe they’re women and which don’t before they harm someone, so we need to keep them all out.

It’s kind of like saying Myra Hindley wasn’t a real woman because if she was she wouldn’t have done what she did. Absolutely batshit.

Possibly the poster means transmen who’ve had surgery, but of course they don’t actually have a penis either.

What biological basis? Link the studies that prove it.

And you haven't spoiled my bingo card at all. I'm in with a chance of winning the air fryer and a weekend in Morecambe.

Waitwhat? How else do you get one?

I'm not forcing anything on anyone. I'm free to use whatever words I choose to. As are you. And I'm not offended. I just think that trans identities are real. You don't. They are just opinions, since none of us can know, if we are not a trans person ourselves.

But we can know you can’t change sex. We can know that women aren’t just stereotypes, and we do know there is no strong evidence that male and female brains are significantly different, so what does that leave?

Of course you can be a criminal and still be trans. But since this person has been convicted of rape, of course we wouldn't lock them up with female prisoners.

Maybe they give them out in boxes of cornflakes?

But female prisoners who have sexually assaulted other women get put in women’s prisons. So, why, if you believe they are actually women, don’t you think they should be too?

Demigirl: Someone who partially identifies as a woman.

Demiboy: The masculine equivalent—someone who partially identifies as a man.

Demigender: The overarching umbrella term for any gender identity that has a partial connection to a specific gender.

Girlflux: A specific type of demigirl where the connection to femininity fluctuates or changes in intensity over time.

This is bringing to my mind a picture of the two and ten pence waterfall style machines in amusement arcades. There is a ten pence precariously balanced out over the edge, supported only by other ten pences. You see coins go in time and again and you think surely it must drop now- but no!

It shows what we're up against. A wealthy, privileged family transed their child when he was a preschooler. He's cheating against his own sister and they don't care. They're cheering him on.

These people are never backing down, are they? And they have money and influence coming out of their ears.

Don’t be silly. He is male. Most 4 year olds spend their time pretending to be dinosaurs. . . .

Thank goodness that's normal. I've been looking after a 2 year old dinosaur for a few days now and was beginning to get worried. Does some very convincing stomping.

My nephew is a puppy!

Yes you are free to use whatever words you like, what makes you a hypocrite is that you believe that trans are trans because they say so, yet don't believe that women are women because they say so, if you did you wouldn't use "cis"
