Standard RWNJ/TURF talking points.

If the trans “debate” isn’t misogynistic, why do people use TERF but without any equivalent term for men? Why do we say “trans women are women” 10x more frequently than we say trans men are men? Why do non-medically transitioned trans women demand to be in women only spaces (ie women’s prisons) while the trans men don’t? Why do trans women threaten to rape women but trans men don’t?

How many men are on DCUM and trashing transgender people 24x7? I mostly see hostile women - many older and/or lesbians.

If men were relentlessly attacking transgender people we could come up with a name for them. TERM?

This has nothing to do with DCUM because the word "TERF" wasn't invented on this forum, nor was it invented for this forum. (Nor do I see women here "trashing" transgender people but that's a separate issue.) Women don't do anything to transgender people except to ask them to respect our spaces. Men, on the other hand, are responsible 99% of the time for beating up, raping and/or killing transgender people.

Yet we get called TERF? For simply not feeling comfortable with OUR hard-won rights and safe spaces being appropriated or eroded? It's the absolute height of sexism.

I'm explaining why I use the term TERF. Because I'm addressing women. I will start using TERM when I start coming across anti-trans men.

Women are absolutely trashing transgender people. Regularly on DCUM. On this thread, we have "delusional" for starters.

DP, but it is delusional to say that trans women are in every way, both biologically and experientially, exactly and in all ways the same as biological women. That being born with a penis and raised as a boy is exactly the same as being born with a vaginas and raised as a girl. If this were true, transgenderism wouldn't exist because your sex wouldn't be a notable characteristic. But it does matter- it is a core and defining characteristic, which is the exact reason this issue generates controversy.

Who says that? I've never heard anyone on DCUM say that.

Lots and lots of people say that. If you say that trans women are a distinct category that are in any way separate from biological women, that is considered transphobic.

Not "lots" of people.

I've literally never heard someone say that "trans women are in every way, both biologically and experientially, exactly and in all ways the same as biological women."

What does "trans women are women" mean to you?

It means be inclusive and respectful. It doesn't mean I think they had a vagina at birth or had the same exact experience as me.

Cis-gender woman can have a wide range of experiences themselves. It's not hard to widen the tent.

So can women have separate prisons that exclude people with penises?

I'm OK protecting everyone in prisons. Transgender women should absolutely not be in men's prisons.

Why is transgender people in prison such a RWNJ talking point? Are you really advocating for inmate safety in general?

You realize that that isone major point JK gets attacked for, right?

What about other spaces? Do transwomen belong in miscarriage support groups for women who have lost pregnancies? Do they belong in women’s locker rooms at gyms? Why? Because they are uncomfortable with their male bodies that get to make women with female bodies uncomfortable instead? Do all of their rights trump those of AFAB women?

I think many people would prefer individual changing rooms for sports.

Are we really policing miscarriage groups?

Up to you. Do you want go have biological males in these groups?

JKR got crap for saying that lesbians should not be socially pressured to have sex with trans women with penises. So now you're a bigot if you think genitals have anything to do with sexual attraction.

No, because transwomen are women.

So we are back to square one, where transactivists claim there is no biological difference between transwomen and women. After people on this thread claimed that wasn’t what transwomen are women means.

Again, literally no one said that. You are pulling that out of your a$$.

Okay. So you agree they are not the same.

Literally zero people have said they are the exact same thing.

Again, you agree that transwomen are not identical to women. Maybe you and others in this thread mean to say “transwomen are women but some exclusions apply. However, if you think that’s not what trans activists are saying you aren’t paying attention.

I say transwomen are women because it's inclusive. We all have our own unique qualities and experiences. It's a big tent.

It’s a big tent. But it doesn’t include penises.

So transmen should be housed in a male prison, right?

If Elliott Page was incarcerated, he should be put in a cell with another man. Right?

I believe she has medically transitioned. Most of us are objecting to the transwomen who identify without actually transitioning.

Ok, A. I don’t believe Elliott has medically transitioned.

And B. Should a transman, medically transitioned or not, be housed in a locked prison cell with another man. That is the question.

They should have cells for trans people.

But why? Transwomen are women and transmen are men, no?

What could possibly be the reason for keeping them separated?

But if you are pressed to expand on that at all, you're going to be revealed to be a bigot. Because it sounds like you think sex and gender have some external components and that our genders may put some parameters around our social treatment.

Agreed. Which is why I say the whole trans movement is rooted in sexier stereotypes. What does it mean to “feel like a woman” or “think like a man”?

This isn't my experience at all. Most transgender people I know are very fluid and exist in the middle of the spectrum, not at the extreme ends. Look at how many gender-neutral people there are. They are anti-stereotypes.

Actually they are not. They feel some sort of otherness, and decide that it means they are not sufficiently male or female enough. Why can’t they just be?

NB person here. I am just being. I don’t identify with womanhood or manhood. Neither feels right to me, so I am neither. Why do you have a problem with that?

And here is the erasure of women again. Rowling pointing this out is what got her in so much trouble. But I'm not having my anatomy erased or appropriated.

Here's the definition of a woman, loud and clear: she has the inborn, natural capacity to menstruate and give birth, even if she does neither of those things.

Women are women. Men are men. Transwomen are transwomen and transmen are transmen. This is not up for debate. I am not having my biology erased anymore.

So what about the people who are born without a uterus?

No one is being erased. You can still say "woman". You are not impacted in any way if other people choose to use inclusive language.

But women are being erased by your so-called "inclusive" language. Why do we have to acknowledge your truth that transwomen are women but you can't respect biological women enough to acknowledge that only biological women can get pregnant and breastfeed? It's so just offensive to see our sex being erased before our eyes. JKR sees this, why can't most women?

Again, you are still a woman. You are not impacted in any way if other people choose to use inclusive language. You are still a women. You can do various things with your body.

You responded to someone arguing on the same side as you. Transwomen aren’t the same as women. I have no problem with the prison system recognizing that fact.

NB person here. I am just being. I don’t identify with womanhood or manhood. Neither feels right to me, so I am neither. Why do you have a problem with that?

No one has a problem with it, but you're not welcome in spaces where women are vulnerable and/or naked if you have a penis.

It's not about how you feel inside.

Here's the definition of a woman, loud and clear: she has the inborn, natural capacity to menstruate and give birth, even if she does neither of those things.

Women are women. Men are men. Transwomen are transwomen and transmen are transmen. This is not up for debate. I am not having my biology erased anymore.

So what about the people who are born without a uterus?

No one is being erased. You can still say "woman". You are not impacted in any way if other people choose to use inclusive language.

But women are being erased by your so-called "inclusive" language. Why do we have to acknowledge your truth that transwomen are women but you can't respect biological women enough to acknowledge that only biological women can get pregnant and breastfeed? It's so just offensive to see our sex being erased before our eyes. JKR sees this, why can't most women?

Again, you are still a woman. You are not impacted in any way if other people choose to use inclusive language. You are still a women. You can do various things with your body. [/quote


And we don’t have to share our spaces with people with penises just because they claim to be women, right?

"delusional"
"something men didn’t like"
women's prison!
and other faux hysterics

Standard RWNJ/TURF talking points.

If the trans “debate” isn’t misogynistic, why do people use TERF but without any equivalent term for men? Why do we say “trans women are women” 10x more frequently than we say trans men are men? Why do non-medically transitioned trans women demand to be in women only spaces (ie women’s prisons) while the trans men don’t? Why do trans women threaten to rape women but trans men don’t?

How many men are on DCUM and trashing transgender people 24x7? I mostly see hostile women - many older and/or lesbians.

If men were relentlessly attacking transgender people we could come up with a name for them. TERM?

This has nothing to do with DCUM because the word "TERF" wasn't invented on this forum, nor was it invented for this forum. (Nor do I see women here "trashing" transgender people but that's a separate issue.) Women don't do anything to transgender people except to ask them to respect our spaces. Men, on the other hand, are responsible 99% of the time for beating up, raping and/or killing transgender people.

Yet we get called TERF? For simply not feeling comfortable with OUR hard-won rights and safe spaces being appropriated or eroded? It's the absolute height of sexism.

I'm explaining why I use the term TERF. Because I'm addressing women. I will start using TERM when I start coming across anti-trans men.

Women are absolutely trashing transgender people. Regularly on DCUM. On this thread, we have "delusional" for starters.

DP, but it is delusional to say that trans women are in every way, both biologically and experientially, exactly and in all ways the same as biological women. That being born with a penis and raised as a boy is exactly the same as being born with a vaginas and raised as a girl. If this were true, transgenderism wouldn't exist because your sex wouldn't be a notable characteristic. But it does matter- it is a core and defining characteristic, which is the exact reason this issue generates controversy.

Who says that? I've never heard anyone on DCUM say that.

Lots and lots of people say that. If you say that trans women are a distinct category that are in any way separate from biological women, that is considered transphobic.

Not "lots" of people.

I've literally never heard someone say that "trans women are in every way, both biologically and experientially, exactly and in all ways the same as biological women."

What does "trans women are women" mean to you?

It means be inclusive and respectful. It doesn't mean I think they had a vagina at birth or had the same exact experience as me.

Cis-gender woman can have a wide range of experiences themselves. It's not hard to widen the tent.

So can women have separate prisons that exclude people with penises?

I'm OK protecting everyone in prisons. Transgender women should absolutely not be in men's prisons.

Why is transgender people in prison such a RWNJ talking point? Are you really advocating for inmate safety in general?

You realize that that isone major point JK gets attacked for, right?

What about other spaces? Do transwomen belong in miscarriage support groups for women who have lost pregnancies? Do they belong in women’s locker rooms at gyms? Why? Because they are uncomfortable with their male bodies that get to make women with female bodies uncomfortable instead? Do all of their rights trump those of AFAB women?

I think many people would prefer individual changing rooms for sports.

Are we really policing miscarriage groups?

Preferring individual changing rooms for sports is just another way that we, as a culture, have lost any ability to form a community and/or interact with others. Not sure that catering to neuroses is the right thing to do. Ever.

Because the only way to do that is naked in a room with a bunch of other naked people?

You want to force people to strip down in front of others? Creepy.

Women with hormonal issues, disabilities, neurodivergent minds and other afflictions that make them look less "feminine", despite being deeply feminine in their hearts, are targets of this bizarre "non-binary" rhetoric. It's offensive and misogynistic.

Frankly I think there's something pretty sinister, too, in how the medical industry is sooooo eager to perform dangerous experiments on these sensitive teens in the name of "social justice". Like puberty blockers.

Rowling is the only celebrity with the courage to call it out. Many others who are as rich as she is still refuse to say a word. That alone sets her apart in my eyes.

I also don't buy into this nonbinary nonsense btw. If you dissociate from your body due to trauma and then decide you're nonbinary, then that's your hurdle to tackle. I won't refer to a woman as they/them because that's insane.

The argument could be made in the reverse. That trans women can do various things with their bodies, regardless of what we call them.

Agreed. Which is why I say the whole trans movement is rooted in sexier stereotypes. What does it mean to “feel like a woman” or “think like a man”?

You can use an individual bathroom if you don't want to share spaces with others.

And, any man can dress up as a woman today and use the women's bathroom. Your fear of transgender penises in the bathroom is irrational.
