  • that’s literally why I bought up the topic of equality…

    What you brought up is an appeal to maintain the current iniquitous status quo, by suggesting that the real problem with men being the aggressors in the vast majority of sexual assaults isn’t the sexual assaults, but that some men might be falsely accused. But hey, if women want to protect themselves from that, we should legalise excluding them and reducing their service options in other areas, because you know, that’s what equality looks like…

    The thing is, you don’t give a shit about the real world manifestation of inequality. What you want is a platonic ideal of equality, which doesn’t exist in the real world, and using it as the measure, just ensures that real world inequality stays around and never gets challenged, because people like you can point to the rules and say “We already have equality” .











  • Believe it or not, you don’t speak for all everyone who isn’t’ cis.

    The only person in this conversation trying to speak for all trans people is the person you’re defending

    It’s telling that the only fault you see is in the voice of a trans person defending themselves, and not in the voice of the person saying that trans people don’t actually exist, they’re just people confused about stereotypes


  • Go and re-read the post of the guy you’re defending.

    His opening sentence was literally “Being mtf or ftm trans is conforming to gender stereotypes with extra steps”

    He is quite openly saying that without gender stereotypes, trans people wouldn’t exist, and that trans people are really just folk who are too caught up in gender stereotypes. He continues to express that opinion even after trans people directly and openly talk about their identity and how it is distinct from stereotypes.

    I’ve been having these discussions for a decade or more now. I know red flags, I know dog whistles, and I know why those things are problematic. And to be frank, you don’t.
