transmisogyny. It’s a blanket fear of all trans women. |
But why only trans women? If fear is the motivation here, Shouldn’t they be more fearful of trans men since men are more violent? |
Are you being intentionally obtuse? They don't see trans men as men. |
+100 After the first few lines of delusion I was like whoa…this persons got some serious sh¡t going on |
So your point is that they don’t see trans women as women? Why do you think that is the case? |
Because they don’t like transgender people and don’t think they should be allowed to transition or participating in society. |
There are six levels of quotations here referring to "they". While I appreciate the avoidance of gendered language, can someone explain who "they" is? Also, today the Southern Baptist Church voted 88%-11% to kick out a church because it supported female pastors. It will be interesting to see if that gets even 1/10 of the attention that John Hopkins' web page did. |
Are you assuming most ppl kicking out a church like that aren’t also the ones magnifying the Hopkins definition on social media? While not 100%, there’s a lot of overlap. Why would they discuss their own actions? |
You seem to be implying that the controversy about John Hopkins is generated by social conservatives in general and southern Baptists in particular. That is not my perception at all. For instance, I doubt there is a single southern Baptist participating in this thread. Jk Rowling highlighted the JHU page yesterday and I doubt that she is particularly popular with southern Baptists. |

I’ll add an example. Matt Walsh who made “what is a woman” is a self identified theocratic fascist. He’s catholic.
There are gender critical feminists (aka TERFs) opposed to trans people being allowed to transition or exist in the light of day (as they consider a child seeing a trans person = grooming). The people in that group are fairly small in number. Most people opposed to trans people are just the religious right. Catholics and born agains retargeted from abortion to transgender people in order to keep the outrage machine going and the votes coming in. |
Do the posters in this thread who think that trans people are simply mentally ill and were complaining about JHU's webpage agree with this? Are all of you simply anti-abortion activists who have been repurposed? I know at least one of the anti-Trans posters is a right-winger, but I think she is basically the exception. |
I’m the Pp you replied to. So to be clear, I think there’s at least one pro choice anti-trans poster. That being said, I honestly believe many are just conservatives. Up thread I asked doctor that has trans patients for her opinion on several other topics that the right is constantly talking about. She’s been posting in this thread constantly, day and night, for days. She didn’t respond to the questions. To me, that says all I need to know. |
Why are you conflating two entirely separate issues? I don’t care who evangelicals let preach, just like I don’t care who Muslims, Satanists, Hindus or Zoroastrians let preach. |
I thought the issue was women's rights. As some have been arguing, the trans community has little power beyond the ability to yell at people. Anti-trans legislators, on the other hand, have real power to make laws which they have been using not only against trans people, but against women in general. This is another case where those with power, in this case a religious institution with considerable influence, has taken clear cut action against women's rights. Something with more impact than a webpage. I expected it might generate, at best, a yawn. But, I was overly optimistic since it actually resulted in me being admonished. Maybe I was wrong about women's rights being the main concern? |
The reality is that there are many more Christians with a large platform like Matt Walsh than there are so-called radical feminists. There are not many so-called radical feminists with a large platform. There are also science oriented gender critical males but you don’t hear about them as much because the media landscape is dominated by the binary left vs right dynamic. |
