“Male pattern violence”? There’s that boogeyman. |
Oh, I totally agree...hence why I added that they are authoritarian....but I am going to let the term "assigned" go because it's basically just more "politically correct/PC" and my interpretation is that a transwoman is someone who was "assigned male at birth" or "whose sex was assigned male at birth" based on having XX or XY chromosomes and external genitalia at birth. I still argue that using the term "biological sex at birth" is not in any way anti-trans...but as it's perceived as such it's not very PC. |
No, of course not. But those threats and violence don’t come from women nearly all of the time, whereas women get threats from transwomen and men. The threats and violence against transwomen come from men. And transwomen are more able to defend themselves physically on average, and find a court system that is more sympathetic. Just look at how violence against women by men (all men) is accepted in this country. It’s not called terrorism, it’s seen as routine, in many cases seen as deserved — a crime of “passion” being somehow less serious. A man who kills his girlfriend doesn’t get hate crime status attached; a man who kills his trans girlfriend will often be facing additional hate crime charges. Transwomen have privilege with respect to their physical safety and how serious threats against them are taken that regular women simply don’t have. It is a sign of male hegemony how accepted male violence against women is, and how now that it is also directed against trans women, it’s somehow more serious. That is definitionally male privilege. |
All violence is bad. None of it acceptable or accepted. Predators should face serious consequences for their crimes. You are gaslighting. Transgender women get far less respect and are at a much higher risk of victimization. Equating all male violence with transgender women is pure bigotry. The right manufacturing a boogeyman to try to win elections. https://williamsinstitute.law.ucla.edu/press/ncvs-trans-press-release/ Transgender women and men had higher rates of violent victimization (86.1 and 107.5 per 1,000 people, respectively) than cisgender women and men (23.7 and 19.8 per 1,000 people, respectively). |
Wow...you bring up a great point I hadn't thought about. For all the gender equality that the far left keep pushing....if all genders should have equal rights, then crimes against all genders should be labeled "hate crimes" because right now transgenders are being treated as superior to cis-genders by affording them the additional hate crime tag. And that is wrong. |
Most crimes against trans people are not prosecuted as hate crimes even if the crime is specifically because that person hates trans people. All crimes committed by incels should be prosecuted as hate crimes because they are committing those crimes because they hate women. |
If you remove sex workers from this equation, these numbers change dramatically. The gaslighting is on your end. The fact is that there is an epidemic of male violence against women in our society that is simply accepted. It’s not seen as a hate crime although it is overwhelmingly men perpetrating violence against women. It’s not seen as even particularly serious. Trans women benefit from systemic protections that are not extended to cis women. |
Well said. |
AMEN! |
Presenting facts that break apart your narrative isn’t gaslighting. The only crimes that are prosecuted as hate crimes are those with anti-LGBTQ motives. Not every single crime against a transgender person is a hate crime. Violence against women is not accepted. As already noted, cisgender women have much less risk of violence. Your narrative is completely baseless. You’re spinning lies. |
If Dems truly believed trump or any other republican would literally bring tyranny to the US, they’d be arming themselves. Because it would be irresponsible not to, for the sake of the country. But that’s not happening, is it? No. Instead, Dems are working feverishly to take guns away at every opportunity. That’s not an indicator of being worried about tyranny. That’s an indicator of plans to impose tyranny. |
If anyone thinks that a bunch of people armed with AKs are a good match against the US military.... |
Based on your response, I assume that you don't actually know many liberals. I know many liberals who in fact are arming themselves because they are afraid of MAGA violence and don't want to be caught bringing a peace sign to a gun fight. Moreover, a huge number of liberals, including the current nominee for Vice President, are gun owners and have no interest in taking guns away. What most Democrats want are things like universal background checks, bans on especially dangerous weapons such as AR-15s, perhaps required training, and other things to make our society safer. Beyond that, you can keep your guns. |
Great. Now biological male (a scientific term - and a factual one) is a “dog whistle.” This is where we are folks. |
Thank you! But they'll pretend it's not happening. Or how about those threatening women with rape for staying they should have separate bathrooms. |
