A group having rights does not take rights away from you. It’s not pie.
Also, a group having pie does not take pie away from you. It’s not unobtanium.
Nope, but it does work toward balancing the scales of power, and christian cis white men hate that with a passion, and they conflate any perceived loss of power with oppression.
This is one of the things that bother me with people being anti-trans. Why the hell do they care? There is nothing, NOTHING that trans people are asking for that bother me, because it does not affect my life. I don’t see how it affects theirs either.
There are two things I know little about when it comes to trans.
-
How to make it fair in sports, but I really don’t care for sports. So I haven’t researched it. Don’t really care if they participate, but I don’t take sports seriously anyways.
-
How to protect vulnerable people from themselves. This is probably contraversial, but I am for giving trans people the treatment they need to transition, or at least make sure it is possible at a later stage by giving hormones / blockers. So that they can transition a bit older.
However (the controversial part) many trans people are vulnerable and also struggle with other issues and operations is often permanent. This is something that I don’t believe is easy to decide, I am ignorant here, I trust medical professionals, psychologists, psychiatrists and the trans community to come up with guidelines / practice here. It is however not something that I think politicians should decide, or is competent in deciding.
The only reason I care about point 2 is to protect people from mistakes, not to stop trans people from transitioning!
Thanks for reading my rant 😊

I personally don’t think sports should be gendered, but people should be placed in different “leagues”.
Similar to how chess players with similar ratings play with each other.
Atheletes should be categorized by skill, regardless of gender.
Fun fact, a recent study reported that cis women have an advantage over trans women in sports due to their higher testosterone levels allowing them to build more muscle mass.
You know, the same argument transphobes use against letting trans people be athletes because of their supposed “biological advantage.”
Which is the same one that’s been used for almost a century now to ban black women from women’s sports due to their naturally higher testosterone levels when compared to white women.
As if they give a shit about science. They only use it when the results match their worldview. Otherwise they just ignore it.
Accurate.

It’s more nuanced than that. It depends on how long you’ve lived as a male before transitioning and how long ago you transitioned. Also not all trans people are taking hormones.
How long you’ve been taking hormones is the important part. How long you’ve lived as amab only really matters until a certain point, as it’s very difficult to maintain muscle mass from before you started hormones. And afab people have to build up muscle mass even when they start taking testosterone.
And yes, not every trans person is taking hormones or even will. But I have yet to hear of a single example of a trans person in regulated sports who wasn’t competing in the division of their gender while on HRT. Even the preteen kids were on puberty blockers.
Glad they finally got around to proving that. It’s been obvious in a theoretical sense for a long time.
it’s already the case. nothing is stopping women competing in so called male leagues. I wonder why they don’t … must be the patriarchy.

Radical feminists don’t want that kind of equality, and it could get the ball rolling for equivalent pay for male models / adult film actors. I lack any strong opinion on the subject but have no interest personally in watching men’s beach volleyball. -When you disregard the draw of the event when it comes to pay; you’re messing with the financials surrounding the event. -May as well go full bore communism then. Let people be forced to work and starve so they can learn that capitalism and the traditional ways (outside of religious influence) weren’t so bad.
This is a pretty fucked up opinion
They only care because they were told to care. It’s a distraction and satisfies their desire to punch down on vulnerable people. They are spineless cucks who want daddy trump to tell them what to think.
Did you think about: They’re icky?
… 🙄
Also if someone could link where I could get one of these stickers that’d be great :)

There’s some good shit in this store. I got the MAGA stickers.
Thank you!!! These are good shit!
I think you underestimate the degree to which late 2010’s pronoun compliance demands superceded the “live and let live” mantra the success of the LGBT movement depended on.
Nobody actually cares.

You can order these online. Here’s mine:
Put it on your car and take another picture to show that you did. Being an ally for internet clout isn’t enough. Sorry for posting a bunch on a single thread, I guess I kinda care a lot about this.
If I could get by without putting the registration sticker on my car I would.
I care passionately about a number of causes but my GTi doesn’t appreciate any extra weight and my fast wins every time.
I do slap them on my rabbit beater that goes to the hardware store and dump though
If you would like your own you can find “punk with a camera” online or at many large punk rock events in the US. He produces these as bumper stickers and t-shirts. He has other great designs as well.
Is that Warhammer?
I don’t think ‘existing’ is the cause of problems we’re running into.
Like simply being a crybaby bitch isn’t really causing any problem. Their brain - their choice.
It’s actions that are at issue.
But ‘existing’ is exactly what transphobes take issue with?
The sticker isn’t saying they’re bad because they’re a crybaby bitch, it’s saying that getting upset at other people just for being who they are is crybaby bitch shit.
Though honestly I think that’s a bit unfair to crybaby bitches, who often are just upset over something silly. They’re being hateful bigoted scumbags.
I especially like the crybaby bitch in the end which makes sure the people this is directed at just double down on their stance. Perfect example of what’s wrong with U.S. politics.
Also not a meme.
Oh, look, it’s a crybaby bitch!

why are you making profiting from transphobes difficult
And this belongs here why?
It’s not similar to any meme I know.
well, if trans people didn’t exist, I wouldn’t have been called a crybaby bitch, which is something negative
I’ve never seen anybody IRL complaining about trans people. I think the whole thing is a media-powered storm in a teacup.
I have, as a transperson I experience it often.
Color me skeptical
I will if you give me the hexcode for skeptical
that’s a good one! I got confused for a second haha
Okay dude, believe whatever you want, my experience is real so good luck with your fantasy.
Damn, I’m all out of skeptical-colored crayons, closest I have is incorrect-colored ones. Hope that’s ok
The US bible belt is real, and so is the spite for anyone who “threatens” their norms or traditions.
Sit in a restaurant in rural SC for a day. You’ll see just how casual the racism and bigotry is.
People take stories too seriously. Differing stories maybe, but the same dumb self-indulgent kneejerk tribalism. That’s people.
I have seen people complain about trans people in a country where there are only 9 trans people
Sample size of 1 is not indicative of anything.
I think it greatly depends on where you live.
Post your location and I’m sure people will be quick to point out how overtly racist your area is, which is probably why people are too afraid to speak out.
I’m not going to try to change your mind here. Changing someone’s mind means taking care to massage their emotions, make them feel good about themselves and you, and get them to make the decisions on their own for their own reasons. It’s a lot of work. I’m going to skip it.
Have you considered that you might be stupid? I’m not joking. Seriously. Because “I haven’t personally seen it, so I don’t think it’s real” in this kind of context, maybe most contexts, is weapons grade stupid. What else don’t you believe in? Bacteria? France? Submarines?
When you’re done being mad about being insulted, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Violence_against_transgender_people might be a good entry point.
Yes, you sound very serious.
Years ago, my mother told me she wasn’t opposed to gay people, she just didn’t like “how they have to be so in your face about it.” Wtf? Do gay men at the grocery store accost you and make you watch them make out?!
That’s why I believe that trans people are being attacked in real life. Also, I know that what we see on the internet and television bleeds into real life.
Oh, you know what else I forgot? People picketing drag queen story hours.
Sure. Doesn’t mean I have to fly your flag. I don’t ask you to fly mine. Can we both respect that?
Nobody is asking you to fly someone’s flag. Trans people just want the freedom of not being refused jobs and generally not be verbally assaulted and then denied at any institution they visit. These people can barely live, because assholes in power actively go out of their way to fuck them over.
Oh what’s that? You look, sound and act like a man, but upon closer inspection your ID says F? Guess you’re just not a good fit for this society, sorry, better luck next time!
I’m sick of people making this about some culture war. It’s about freedom of expression. A core principle of the constitution and the human rights charter! A violation of such core principles, will eventually came to bite you too, once trans people, but also immigrants and other minorities are gone and the rich need a new scapegoat. Next will come thought crime, once we all look the same, like in the old days.
“I know this post is specifically about how trans people existence has ZERO impact on my life…so how can I still make it about myself? In a way that makes ME be the victim too?”
That’s what you wrote. Almost a skill how the whole point flew over your head
