Do you support “trans” or are you a monster? New Good Law Project billboard campaign.

[Ereshkigalangcleg]

The reliably foolish Good Law Project have commissioned a new outdoor campaign, coming to a street near you.

https://monster.goodlawproject.org/

Panel 1: "Nobody chooses their default settings." Correct! Biology does.

So sharks not being monsters, they are basically saying the Transes are Sharks?

Well, crikey. We'd never have got away with that one!

And yet, predictably, you miss the point.

But since that is beyond you, let's instead take a moment to consider your misunderstanding, hmm?
What is it about the statement "Difference isn't a threat. Ignorance is" that you find so upsetting?

Nothing.

But you still can't change sex and sex still has consequences and women still need sex bases rights.

Or the Author. See Puckoon, in which The Milligan complained bitterly to the Author about his legs, and reckoned he could have written them better himself. As some sort of recompense for this, the Author gave him a magic word he could use to appeal for help if he got written into unacceptable circumstances.

And the book ends with the Milligan stuck in an organ pipe in a tree, and the words

"You can't leave me like this!"
Oh, can't I?

Women's rights don't exist in opposition to the rights of the marginalised community you so hate.

I don't find it "upsetting" (not everyone lives in Fragile Me World). I said it wasn't an answer to Dave's question.

How about you answer the question, if you have an answer?

"What if it's wrong?" After one take drugs, possibly causing thinning of bones, hair loss, incontinence, or even stopping puberty altogether, or even after one has possibly removed body parts (irreversible, by the way), what if you realize later that it was wrong for you?

What if it's wrong?

Care to take a stab at answering that? I'll give you one reply, because I'm not going to derail the thread, as hilarious as that cartoon is.

Aye. All that "normalise the bulge" codswallop.

Thank you, now so have I, and I'd never heard it before!

"What's than coming over the hill? Is it a monster? Is it a monster?"

Actually, that's Panel 5. 😅They just all look so deliriously loopy-happy!

Difference isn't a threat. Ignorance is.

But difference can be a threat. I'm a middle aged woman. Well late middle aged, truth be told. I like running. I like running in the countryside, where there aren't many people. I see someone coming towards me on the path ahead.
it's a large man in his early 30s
its a small woman my age
its a teenage girl
its a teenage boy

in this situation I would be mad not to take into account the difference between myself and the other person when considering the risk they might pose to me

ignorance, yes, can be a threat

ignorance of the importance of handwashing
ignorance of the dangers of smoking
ignorance of how to manage a personal budget
etc etc

ignorance of the meaning of various 'gender identities' which didn't exist before last week, no, that's not a threat

As long as women (the group of people who menstruate, gestate, breast feed, go through menopause, have miscarriages, rely on contraception and abortions, require sex specific health care and fertility treatment, rely on single sex sport to compete, who suffer discrimination because of their sex, regardless of how they identify: the sex that has been denied the right to vote, work after marriage, receive a fair wage) are clearly defined in legislation and policy, no, there is no opposition.

I don't hate any community. I just recognise the rights that my grandmother and mother didn't have and that I need to participate equally in society.

I also don't want to be put in a gender box.

Is that OK with you?

What is it about the statement "Difference isn't a threat. Ignorance is" that you find so upsetting?

I don't find it upsetting, in fact. I find it hysterically funny that a trans person feels able to lecture women about ignorance, when they have probably forgotten more about, well, everything really, but especially biological fact, than he will ever know.

"I also don't want to be put in a gender box."

You already put yourself in a box - and on the wrong side of history, for the record - with your adherence to the GC Cult and its aggressive, radical anti-trans stance.

Already knew I was a monster but I guess a bunch of men in dresses and confused teenagers confirmed that.

Let me think...

Still NO

Of course they do when the men in that marginalised community expect access to things that are for women only.

I love the shark poster, I think it's telling all the 'trans' how to spot a terf - look out for small eyes, grey skin and very pointy teeth - they may also be bald. It's a bit like recognising witches in 'The Witches' who are also bald but their eye's change colour and they have square feet and blue spit.

TBF you can't really tell if the shark terf has blue spit.

Did someone really say “wrong side of history”, without irony?

In the name of whatevers, can we maybe just for once manage to ignore a bore trying to derail the thread, and instead talk about what we want to and not some dreary prannet's agenda? They're all so bluddy DULL and predictable. None has produced a single new thought yet this year as far as i can tell.

(Yes, I know I replied to it already. I was wrong to do so, and I apologise to the women of the thread for it.)

Now my mind is going

Snakes on a Plane

>>

Sharks on a Tram

I do live in hope. But I accept that you are right.

It's me and Dr Blackbird really. It never works, though. Hope Springs Eternal (which was the name of a short-lived jazz band in the 1970s)

Oh but I love a good prannet - can we not at least feed them to the poster shark?

This thread is putting songs in my head and making me hungry at the same time.

We are not talking to each other are we?

No one group’s rights should deny the dignity of another group, it works both ways.
But to go from that position to say that women protecting dignified, safe spaces amounts to hatred is a big jump.

Advocating Women’s rights does not come from a position of hatred. There is a conflict of definitions of human rights in this debate clearly, to deny that conflict by turning to bitter and emotional rhetoric does not solve the issue. Yours is an attempt at silencing women who are asserting their rights to boundaries.

Is that your intention @DieWaarheid ?
