[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is just so indicative of the liberal circular firing squad.

I am a very liberal very pro LGBTQ advocate.

Do I believe in trans rights to call themselves women/men? Yes.

Do I believe in their right to transition and for advocating for health care coverage for those procedures? Yes.

Do I believe in advocating for awareness and help for children and teens struggling with their gender? Yes.

Do I believe in advocating for anti discrimination laws to protect all LGLBTQ people from harm? Yes.

Do I believe in people being able to use whatever bathroom they want? Yes (I know I differ from JKR here).

Will I happily use whatever pronouns a person wants me to use? Yes.

Do I believe that we should stop using specifically gendered language to discuss gendered political issues that have oppressed women for centuries? No.

Do I believe there should be some acknowledgement of the biological differences that result from the biological sex hormones you were born with when it comes to sports? Yes.

Do I think there should be some safe spaces that women who have been violently victimized by men and who are uncomfortable with women in transition should be able to occupy if they would like as victims? Yes.

But you go to war against people like me, an ally who you would rather call a bigot, because of disagreements in nuance. [/quote]

And this, in a nutshell, is why we lose elections and Trump gets elected. If you disagree by 10 degrees, you are the enemy. [/quote]

Honey, nobody called you our enemy. You give yourself way too much credit. I deeply disagree with your very limited and narrow definition of feminism but that doesn’t make you my enemy. [/quote]

The level of HYSTERIA over "people who menstruate" is ridiculous. 
[/quote]

According to someone who either does not menstruate[b] or who has not been systemically oppressed due to their menstruation. [/b][/quote]

Why are you assuming that I don't menstruate? 
[/quote]

I didn't assume that. Why didn't you read my post?[/quote]

Who is being "systemically oppressed due to their menstruation" in the US in 2020?

:roll: [/quote]

You do not know enough about women's issues to be telling me that I don't know what I'm talking about.

I am fully behind free pads & tampons for ALL PEOPLE WHO MENSTRUATE. Why do you want to exclude anyone from that?

[/quote]

Well? Don’t you think ALL people who menstruate would benefit from advocacy? 
[/quote]

I responded to this twice, in detail, in above posts.[/quote]

NP, and I've read your responses, and they just don't hold together.  You seem to take it as a given that it would be too confusing to advocate for women if you have to account for trans women in the definition, but you don't explain why it would be confusing, or how, or give any examples.  And it isn't as obvious as you seem to think.[/quote]
