Trans rights: a perspective

[jeremyp]

Obviously if you can identify as man/woman, the logic will allow you to identify as black or disabled.

Yes, obviously. Yet strangely, the same people who are fiercely defensive of trans rights will often be highly critical of a white person who wants to identify as black.

As for disabilities, there is a condition where people feel their limbs are not their own and they will ask for surgery to have an arm or a leg amputated. This is directly analogous to gender reassignment surgery and yet doctors seem somewhat reluctant to perform the former.

And another thing. The article has this quote:

UCU supports a social, rather than a medical, model of gender recognition that will help challenge repressive gender stereotypes in the workplace and in society.

This is in tension with trans gender ideology where the goal is to affirm gender stereotypes.

Quite obviously a winning argument they have on that poster. 

It's obviously where the gay rights movement went wrong.

We never used posters proclaiming "Suck my dick, you homophobic bastards".

I see our mistake now!

What? The delicate flower that the article was about was obviously a trans-man. He wouldn't have been allowed to live where he was if that were not the case.

We're going to have a real female admiral.

a) she is female

b) she's already in the Royal Navy and has actually served on ships.

And the US already had a female but just not trans...

Have you seen this? Sorry if I missed a link about it.

The Stephen Nolan podcast about Stonewall is very good, I think.

I started finding out about this with the mind-set ‘what’s the problem? Live and let live’ but blimey, have my eyes been opened.

There is a woman on YouTube called tt exulansic who gives informed commentary on the subject of gender ideology and it’s implications. I sort of wish I hadn’t explored this subject, it’s so disturbing, but thank you anyway for raising my awareness with your links. It’s eventually led to me subscribing to Linehan’s substack.

This makes interesting reαding. From what Chloe said, I'd say she was raped.

Agree

[Aruntraveller]

I also agree.

This ties into two new terms I've recently come across "cotton ceiling" and "boxer ceiling".

These are terms used by some in the Trans community to shame Lesbians and Gay men when they do not wish to have sex with a trans person who identifies as the sex they are attracted to.

It's all pretty insidious, nasty stuff.

If you want to read about it Google it, I'm not putting a link up here because some of the comments are vile.

Some of the people in this modern Trans movement are seriously ill and imo dangerous.
