Something about the Anglo-Saxon skullshape that makes people into imperialist transphobes.

Twitter thread in case anyone wants to yell at the transphobes in the replies.

      That's the part of the whole Terf thing that tells you that they're lying.

      It's pathetically easy for people to sexually assault others and only a bit harder to get away with it. There's no way that a rapist is going to go to the effort of pretending to be trans, they'd just become a taxi driver or get hold of some rohypnol or something.

      If they gave that much of a shit they'd be spending that energy maybe protesting our shitty criminal justice system.

          Yeah exactly. It's deeply fucking cruel too when you consider how many trans people have been physically and sexually assaulted. I've never, in contrast, heard of a trans person or someone pretending to be trans sexually assaulting someone in a women's bathroom or changing room and I bet I would have if it ever had happened. These lot would be over it like flies on shit.

          The other part that doesn't make sense is how is that what stops these hypothetical attackers? Like someone decides to assault someone in a bathroom, they go through the effort to "pretend to be trans" and then what, decide when they get to the door and it says "Women Only" that they shouldn't do it? Is a sillhoette of a woman on a door really gonna stop these attackers they are convinced are real? No? So then what's the argument?

      Shall I explain it for you?

      Terfs are sexual sadists and predators. Saying “trans women are dangerous” is projection first, it’s good old gaslighting fun second, it’s good old shit stirring and telling the right wing “this target is culturally acceptable to assault, notice how IIIIIIIIIIII didn’t receive any pushback!”

      It’s not a true statement, it’s a functional statement. Like a piece of agitprop developed by the opposing side.

      And conveniently leaves the door open for them to sexually assault us, and we’re ashamed to say anything and society itself is gaslit up and back that the predators are victims and the victims are predators

    I'm a cis woman. In my working life, I've had a few trans coworkers. Guess what? They used the woman's bathroom. I DON'T CARE. Had they had bottom surgery? I DON'T CARE. Was there gasp a penis in the women's restroom? Again, but louder this time: I DON'T FUCKING CARE.

      I really dont understand the premise that a penis existing is like some awful disgusting perverted thing that should never be spoken about it. If there was a person in a locker room who looked like Jennifer Lawrence, portrayed 100% like a woman with a clothes on, was only interested sexually in men - does her having a penis make it unacceptable for her to be in a woman's dressing room? It's just a fucking organ, it's basically the same as a vagina but shaped differently. A trans woman with a penis is not some by-default sexual predator.

      If you're so fucking upset at seeing a woman with a penis, go get changed somewhere less public or go to a gym with more private locker rooms. Do they also want to ban lesbians from women's locker rooms because they might be oggling?

        Wasn't this exactly the rhetoric like 20 or 30 years ago? It's all just recycled bigotry now that it's mostly socially unacceptable to bash gay people.

        I'd like to reiterate my idea that I stated in another thread that we need to build a giant torpedo to sink terf island and make it into a giant artificial reef. :transshork-happy:

          When Britain first, at Transbian's command, Sank beneath the azure main, This was the charter of the land, And Vanguardian Comrades sang this strain:

        I mean, they very well might want to ban lesbians too, unfortunately. But yeah, I know Contrapoints is controversial, but I think she makes a good point in her "Gender Critical" video that a lot of the TERF "reasons" for being anti-trans are just a "rational" mask to hide their disgust.

        If there was a person in a locker room who looked like Stavros after being lost in the wilderness for a month, was wearing short-shorts and a half-shirt, was gender-fluid and with zero standards...

        Who the fuck cares?

        Certain regressive strains of feminism are just as gender essentialist as the patriarchy they claim to oppose - they just invert the value judgments. They take regressive notions like "if you have a penis, you're a man" and "men can't help themselves around women, it's just the way we are!" and instead of saying "this is why it's up to a woman to behave properly so she isn't raped" they say "this is why penises are evil."

        (Funny enough, Andrea Dworkin, despite being the go-to example for many of a "man-hating feminist," fully supported transwomen and believed that SRS should be a guaranteed right)

    Honestly why can't

    • everyone just change in the same area
    • we invest in infrastructure so everyone can change privately

    Either is fine.

      I was in a play festival and the backstage had gender neutral shared bathrooms (like rows of stalls, urinals had temporary stalls put around them as well). No one freaked out. The dudes were a little upset because all the sinks were occupied by people applying makeup instead of using the green room. But it was all normal and copacetic.

      All You Can Rape Buffett. Men are literally savages and their penises will just wantonly attack people if there's not at least 6" of concrete between them and a woman's naked body.

      we invest in infrastructure so everyone can change privately
