@Hoodie_Milly @CarlRigson @memeticsisyphus But why would you assume Betty White's family wouldn't object? The whole point is that the people who have a real claim to the usurped identity (women) DO have a problem sharing resources with the fake "Betty Whites"

Right. Where it fails is that the only reason I care within the expansion of the metaphor simply does not apply to the original situation. If Betty Whites family dont care that my grandma is stealing their family members identity and the law doesnt care then I would not care either. I would only be concerned about my grandma ending up in jail and being sued to oblivion. Since those risks dont apply to Trans people I am wholly unconcerned

I think the trans community was really harmed by people like this. I think most people in the west are happy to accommodate weirdness. Accept the asterisk that goes with being a transwoman and move on. But instead there was a large push by people like this that insisted there was no asterisk. That transitioning was actually possible. This led them to absurdities like the female penis. Simply saying yes trans women aren’t the same as women could resolve it, but the ideology stops them. It leads them to the absurd. It also torches the public’s confidence in your ability to handle anything, seeing how you bend to ideology even when it makes you look ridiculous. Why would we let you change anything in society?

@Se7enball @llggeorgia The staggering thing about this kind of evil is its banality

@Clairamel @llggeorgia That proposal is modest

The final WHAT

Even if you believe it’s good to be understanding of other people’s struggles, it’s not patriotism. “Bravery is when you nurse orphaned squirrels back to health” no it’s not. That’s compassionate, but it’s not brave. There’s more than one virtue. They’re not all the same thing. Our language is quickly collapsing to [good thing] and [bad thing] as the only definitions of words.

@hecheateddotorg "cis" men cheating: uh that doesn't count, he's not trans "transwomen" cheating: uh that doesn't count, he's a woman It's almost like if you start with the premise that men can do whatever they want, you're no longer bound by logic, consistency or honesty in your arguments

Just a reminder that there are over 5,000 examples of a man or boy doing exactly the same thing over on HeCheated.org.

@Brocklesnitch @Dragonpanties I would also suggest that you set the tone for the responses by calling the young woman a "bitch" and wishing for divine retribution upon her.

@Brocklesnitch @Dragonpanties I've skipped every reply that was even slightly rude or with a single swear word, and even so there are more calm and rational explanations of the issue than I could possibly gather together. If you only choose to engage with the nasty ones, that's on you.

of all the trolls ive encountered over the years, terfs are by far the most nasty and cruel and gross. so quick to turn their minds to horrific places, perversion always on the tip of their tongue, obsession turned into a sickness. it's completely deranged

@Brocklesnitch @Dragonpanties (bonus points for this one because the response to the simple, calm explanation from the woman whining about abuse is...) x.com/Brocklesnitch/…
