It's frightening to me how easily gaslit so many female and allegedly feminist 'allies' are. It's breathtaking how ignorant this woman is, how she only gets her information from those who blindly accept trans-activist propaganda. I'm not familiar with those Medium writers - I may have avoided them if I recognized them as loony lefties - but there were plenty who were uncritical of the trans movement, who naively accept that everyone's there because they're GD rather than some other highly suspicious reasons, like for sexual fetishism reasons and/or to harass and intimidate women with their genitals. Thanks for those articles, BTW, they'll come in handy with some 'trans-ally' anonymous coward on Twitter I've been challenging this past week (you know, the kind of with a grey head, no profile information, and a following of 11).
This is the problem with the left - it favours tolerance, but it's become *too* tolerant, and too easily swayed by misogyny in the trans movement. These guys are clever - they figured out how to get women to stop hammering them about their male privilege and accept them as alleged victims.
Let's remember that when it comes to genuine victimhood in the trans community, their biggest threat is, like it is to us natal women, male aggression. We're not the ones killing and assaulting transpeople; that is and remains a guy thing, just as harassment in toilets, spas, and violence shelters is a guy thing (funny how they always seem to have penises. Where are the trans-harassers with vaginas? Are there any? Who knows?)
Also the Nazi genocide comparisons are wearing very, very thin. There was an actual genocidal effort to eradicate the world, or at least Europe, of Jews in the last century. I've never heard anyone advocate killing or eliminating all the transpeople. If there are such voices, they're probably on the far right, but I suspect that particular trope is mostly between their ears.
Yes the most infinitesimal deviation from the most insignificant point of their ideology leads to your being called not just "transphobic" but "incredibly transphobic" and probably seeing a red box next time you log on.
Hasn't happened yet, and with a new narcissistic nutbar who suffers from delusions of adequacy taking over Twitter I anticipate that will happen even less now. Perhaps it's time to respond humourously/ironically with their own verbiage. "I find you comment incredibly hysterical that you can see *any*, let alone 'an incredible amount' of transphobia in my comment. Have you ever looked up the word phobic?"
i'm going to come up with an Inigo Montoya (overused, for sure) meme: "Transphobic. You keep saying that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."
I don’t think a lot of people are gnawing their nails in fear that a man in a dress and heels with some major identity disorder is going to mug them in an alley.
It annoys me no end that “phobia” is used for “hatred.” That suffix is "-misia.”
