Democrats always think they own feminism. Nope. Look at the number of disrespectful comments here from liberals insisting GOP women are misled or following their husbands.

Sorry. You’re actively supporting the party that wants to erase women’s rights entirely. You are not a feminist.

And you are supporting the party that wants to erase women entirely. You are not a feminist either.

+100. One party wants to take away my right to decide my fate if I get pregnant. The other party wants to erase me entirely so men can steal my identity. Two awful choices, but erasing me in every aspect of life is worse. Dems can get bent.

This is nonsense. Acknowledging trans people isn’t “erasing” women.

You should definitely keep telling voters that you want to attract to your party that their worries and concerns about their own erasure are “nonsense.” That’s certainly a winning strategy for you! 👍

I don’t work for the Biden campaign. So are you going to explain how you’re being erased? Is the eraser in the room with us now?

I’m female. I have faced sexual violence because of my body, like millions of women throughout history.

Democrats now demand that I pretend that violence against females doesn’t exist, and that I prioritize the feelings of men over my physical safety. They tell me that my identity as a woman, including all that I have endured by virtue of being a woman, is open for colonization by men, and in fact men are better at being women than women born female.

That’s erasure. And you cannot stomp your feet and tell me that it is not happening.

I do think they are being overly sexualized though dress and social media. And people are saying it’s okay as it’s about identity and personal liberty. Ok, it’s also about sexualization at a young age. That does make them targets for people who do not wish them well.

It’s a bit jarring to see so many kids in skimpy outfits, posting photos, male or female or third gender.

Nice try shifting the conversation to a more sympathetic face of the transgender agenda, but I’m talking about the adult men playing out sexual fetishes who Democrats have given the “right” to invade women’s spaces. I’ve encountered several of them in just the past six months and I won’t tolerate being yelled at by liars who don’t want to hear inconvenient facts.

Good luck posting about it on here. The moderator once debated claiming that human are not a sexually dimorphic species and therefore men could become women.

Oh, I know the crossdressing men and their handmaids will summon him shortly to delete responses. Too bad for them that he can’t stop us from voting against their agenda.

OP, if you want to know why many of us are voting Republican, RFK, or staying home, start here. When a party throws open women’s spaces to perhaps the most predatory subgroup of men in existence and attacks women who speak out, those of us who aren’t delusional handmaids will abandon ship.

And this is just ONE of the many issues on which Democrats are dangerous, fascistic, and insane.

That's actually factually incorrect. Trans people are actually far less likely to be predatory and are far more likely to be the victims of crimes than the perpetrators of them. And saying that isn't "silencing" you, it's stating a fact. There are a handful of cases that got a lot of attention but overall, that is the fact. You're entitled to believe whatever you like but it's not true.

Nice try gaming the stats with that silly talking point, but let’s dive deeper.

1. Men who claim to be women are far more likely to be victims only of OTHER MEN and this is because men who claim to be women engage in sex work at very high rates.

2. Women do not victimize men who claim to women.

3. Men who claim to be women are more likely to rape and attack women and children than men who don’t cross dress.

Come back with receipts loser.

You’ve lost the debate when you call posters names. Keep it civil.

I think the person who brings the receipts wins the debates. Also, are you going to demand that Trump “keep it civil” or are you just saying that because you assume I’m a woman?

Trump isn’t on this thread, and you can ask for receipts without name calling. But of course you know that.

Why tolerate all the name calling trump does?

This is nonsense. Acknowledging trans people isn’t “erasing” women.

It depends. If we are allowed to acknowledge that trans people have a biological sex that is different from the sex they would prefer, that isn't in conflict. If we are required to say, in polite society, that trans women are women, with no distinction at all from biological women, that is an issue for many people. And of course, if it is taken a step further and claimed that suggesting that sex is an immutable characteristic is criminal hate speech, that is a serious step toward the suppression of free speech, science, and religion in favor of state dogma.

Well said. I have no problems acknowledging that there is a small group of people who wish their sex is different than the sex they were born with. I have a serious problem with using the state to compel a new state religion.

The Democratic Party claims none of the bolded. Referring to trans women as women doesn’t mean you can’t acknowledge that they’re trans. It just means you shouldn’t call them men. I’m sure you understand the difference. And there is no Democratic policy in place to “criminalize” speech about sex as a biological characteristic. Some people have a gender that is different from their sex. That’s all.

No, they don’t. If this is about the idea that a man would chop of his genitalia just to perve on you in the bathroom, I’m sorry, that’s not happening.

Utter nonsense. I don't know what the ultimate answer is about where transgender people fit in but denying their complete existence is hogwash. They have always existed, exist now and will exist in the future. Your denial of reality does not actually alter reality.

Thank for taking the time to write all of this. I really appreciate you putting this into words. I respect all people. Most of us are trying to thrive and struggle together.

It’s not a one person loses or another person wins scenario, but it feels that way sometimes when we have limited attention and resources. And I get shut down when I say “what about me?”

I feel like traditional feminism is not popular. There is nothing wrong w JK Rawling’s positions . She was abused, she was divorced, she also struggled in this unfair, anti women world. She was a single mom. She earned a right to her opinion. Why did everyone jump all over her?

Everyone did not jump all over her. Some disagreed and some agreed.

She got and still gets a nearly endless stream of graphic rape and death threats from trans activists.

Ironically that response really just shows that she’s right to worry about violence against women and the importance of the preservation of single-sex spaces.

It’s always with the minimizing and dismissals from you, isn’t it?

Look, the gaslighting isn’t working any more.

Abuse on anonymous chat forums is cheap and cowardly and scary. Why do so many women and men that are sexually assaulted never report?

Ugly behavior comes out when you don't have to reveal your identity. Why do racist thugs often wear hoods when the strut around with their torches? What's wrong folks...why can't we see who you are?

Stop gaslighting. Even on this site, we are warned not to use the "transphobic" term "biological women." You can say there is no "Democratic policy" to criminalize free speech, which is incorrect (every senate Democrat supported the Democracy for All bill that sought to curtail free speech). But politics is downstream from culture. Meaning that first they get everyone warm to an idea, and then they make it law. Ask yourself, if you could ban speech that would criminalize acknowledging that trans women aren't biological women, would you?
