Political Discussion
That is the difference: you care about statistics. I care about every single woman. |
Sadly men have always abused women and children. The change is now Spaces which were historically safe places for women no longer are due to the prioritization of mentally ill men. https://x.com/jk_rowling/status/2002307515288338883?s=46 |
XX to XY? XY to XX? No, you think political science is science. Newsflash: it isn't. |
Do you care about the women in Loudoun county that were raped by anyone other than a trans person? Were there any? Probably not, right? I don’t think it ever happens. |
I think we all know it's statistically rare. So now we can have the honest discussion: you think these cases are an acceptable risk in order to help trans people feel more comfortable. It's a zero sum game- either women, or trans people, get to feel comfortable. I am honest about the fact that I choose the safety for women at the cost of comfort for trans people. It's not fun to admit that you're the bad guy to one side, but it's honest, and it's the only path to compromise that treats both sides with dignity. Because saying that it was okay for these poor girls to be raped because it's rare- that isn't treating people with dignity. |
There's a shocking amount of rape in the school systems in and around DC. Breathtakingly high rates compared to national averages. But that's not the discussion we are having now. |
It’s so telling how people like you are are entirely unable to stay on topic. Because you have no logical arguments to make. It’s deflect deflect deflect with whataboutism in every single comment. What about gun control? What about women who are raped? What about Epstein? What about Trump being a bad guy? Young Men are simply tired of having to pretend that humans can change their sex. |
This might blow your mind but rapes happen in places other than women’s bathrooms. |
Your tone really suggests you don't care. |
I don’t care to pretend that keeping trans people out of woman’s bathrooms is something that makes women safer. |
The big plot twist here is that the kid who committed the sexual assault in Loudoun County is not and was not trans. He never said he was trans, the sheriffs department that arrested him said he was not trans, the father of the victim said the boy was not trans. The trans narrative was created by right wing shitstirring pundits who latched onto the bit about him wearing a skirt. The kid wore a skirt to school to be non-conforming and rebellious but never proclaimed it to be about trans identity. Check the facts from the actual sources rather than what right wing pundits claimed and you will find this to be the truth. |
I’m the poster you’re responding to and this isn’t the only issue I care about. I may care more than most as the parent of a high level female athlete, but it is not my identity. I’m responding to you because I am incredulous that you (and another far leftists) still refuse to acknowledge how ridiculous it is to have thrown your full support behind allowing males identifying as women to take a place in women’s spaces. You’re deflecting left and right in this thread with “what about”, etc. but still refuse to acknowledge how misguided your support of this is. |
It's so telling that you commit one fraudulent fallacy after another, base rate neglect, refusal to acknowledge the far bigger and far more legitimate concerns of others and so on. Not to mention that the core of your whole argument about trans people being a threat to women hinges on a story about a Loudoun County kid who wasn't even trans to begin with. This isn't being dismissive, or minimizing legitimate concerns, it's about calling out your outright lies and bullshit. |
I mean yeah, single occupancy bathrooms like on airplanes are not the issue 🙄 Is this really the best you’ve got at this point? |
You can choose to live your life in fear of something that will never directly impact you, or you can take on issues that are more likely to directly impact you. Statistically, it is very rare, to be raped by a trans person in a bathroom or locker room. On the other hand, the chances of being raped by a man in any other setting, including a bathroom or locker room, is much higher. Still higher, is to be shot in a mass casualty event or be in a car accident. So you can spend your time focusing on things that, while possible, are extremely unlikely to harm you, or you can worry about things that are more likely to impact you. Focusing on something so rare as a transperson raping you is just....bizarre. |
