Thinking about Maria MacLachlan's (PeakTrans) latest video and how she excellently described the process of a feminist left-wing women (like JK Rowling) becoming critical of the trans movement.

At first, you are basically in what she called a 'blissful ignorance'. Your opinion of the trans movement is "live and let others live". Then you start to notice little things that are just plain wrong, like men stealing trophies from women and lesbians being told they are not allowed to tell on a dating app that they are into females only.

So you decide to voice your opinion. You say something like, "I have nothing against trans people who just want to live their lives, but i find this [particular thing] harmful and unfair". You are assuming and fully expecting in your blissful ignorance, nothing more from it. Maybe a bit of debate, but mostly understanding since all these points you made are good points after all, and this is the self-proclaimed feminist LGB+ "be kind" brigade so the rights of women and gay people should matter, right?

Instead, you receive abuse. Not just any abuse, but misogynistic abuse, threats, doxxing, lies, twisting your words, and attempts to make you lose your lifelihood.

First, you are shocked, but then you start to feel angry. Angry and betrayed. You start to wonder how many others like you have been shut out and silenced by trans activists. You may start by looking up "that one woman" who you think was not entirely treated fairly, but you had earlier decided to accept the trans activists' version that she is just "a bigot".

You find out that despite trans activists vehemently claiming some things never happen, they do happen. They just willfully ignore them. You find out people criticising trans movement are feminists, LGB people, concerned parents, medical experts, and even trans people themselves. Trans activists just lie when they claim they are far-righters and conservatives. You find out they do not want trans people dead. It is the trans activists who send them death threats and show up to their events to "punch terfs".

And you become angrier, so you decide you will not be silenced. You decide to talk more and raise more awareness. The more you criticise and the more you share, the more abuse trans activists send to you. And the angrier you become.

Then the useful idiots see your anger and are convinced you are just a hater that should not be listened to. Why else would you be so angry?

boy math is when you oppose abortion and say “if you don’t want to deal with an unwanted pregnancy then just close your legs” and then crying and screaming that you’re lonely because women don’t want to have sex with men anymore

when are men gonna fix the epidemic of rape? i mean men are the reason women are raped since its mostly their fellow men doing the raping. why don't men do something about it? why don't men care that other men are making them look evil by raping women and children? why don't men get together and hunt down every rapist they know of? would solve two problems, less rapists overall, and women may not hate men as much since there are good ones hunting down rapists! why haven't men ever done this? i can't find even one male anti-rape organisation? why have men never enacted this obvious solution to women thinking they're all rapists?

I don't get the point in being a Facts and Logic Atheist Skeptic if you're going to blatantly ignore the fallacies of the transgender ideology.

Everyone makes fun of the circular reasoning of Christians but no one makes fun of the very obvious circular reasoning of the trans movement. One of the reasons "what is a woman" is such a fantastic question is because they can't answer it. "What is a woman?" "A woman is someone who identifies as a woman." "Ok, well what is a that? When you "identify" as a woman, what does that mean?" It's very similar to asking a Christian "how do you know the Bible is true?" They say "the Bible is true because it's God's holy word." "Ok, well how do you know that?" "Because the Bible says."

Not only that, but transness in itself is an entirely spiritual belief. You're essentially trying to "fix" your body, which isn't even broken, to further reflect your soul. The idea of a soul is inherently spiritual. I find this especially true of nonbinary people who go through surgery and have their nipples removed. Many of them say "well, I wasn't supposed to have nipples" or "nipples make me dysphoric," and it doesn't make any sense. Nearly everyone on planet earth has nipples, what do you mean you weren't "supposed" to have them?

When you listen to trans people talk about their gender identity, it's extremely religious. Even with things like "trans joy," I can't help but think of the old sold "I've got the joy joy joy joy down in my heart." Well, I guess if JKR doesn't like it she can sit on a tack.

When they talk about their transition, they're "on a journey," they're "connecting with their gender." When they do finally transition, and cry because they "finally feel like their true selves."

What does that even mean? There is no "true" self, the self you currently have is your true self. You were never not yourself. You were never broken. Anyone who told you that you were was trying to sell you something.

The fact that most skeptic youtubers aren't even a little suspicious of this movements is very confusing to me. It's still possible they could be, but god forbid you say anything.

The trans community is one of the most toxic things I've ever been a part of. In my opinion, it's like Scientology on steroids. If you leave, you will lose friends, and you may become the victim of targeted harassment. If you even hint that you might be questioning it, you will be met with suspicion at best and outright hatred at worst.

In my opinion, it is one of the most popular, regressive and destructive cults currently operating in the US, and one of the reasons it's so dangerous is because it specifically targets mentally ill teenagers and gay kids. It sells the idea that something is wrong with them. It leads them down the path of medicalization and sterilization. In many ways, it's the modern day lobotomy.

This is the biggest medical scandal of our lifetime. If you're not at least a little bit skeptical, I worry for you.

"Do not pity the dead, Harry. Pity the living and, above all, those who live without love" is such a fucking raw line. Miss Rowling obliterated Emil Cioran Soren Kierkegaard and Jean-Paul Sartre with it. All those male pessimist or existentialist philosophers who are worshipped in academia because they jerked off in their bourgeois appartment saying life sucks are made to make you feel bleak. But the way JKRowling talks about life, death, grief and love, which are the main themes in all of her main books (Harry Potter, The Casual Vacancy, Cormoran Strike) is so human and moving and comforting, but of course, because she is a children book writer and, even more awful, a "TERF bitch", she isn't heralded the same way male philosophers are. There's a reason so many people find solace in Harry Potter, it's because it doesn't shelter you from the awfulness of death while, at the same time, it brings you an optimist perspective on life and offers positive values. As such, JKRowling's philosophy is counter cultural in that it challenges the existentialist worldview that has been embraced by the arts and academia. In this essay, I will-

The movies did a bad job at conveying her message too. Voldemort became the most evil wizard of all time because he attempted to defeat death and become immortal so he distanced himself from his humanity. Dumbledore teaches Harry to pity Voldemort, he tells him not to see him as a supreme malevolent entity but as a human being who is doing bad things and who is suffering (he mutilated his own soul) because he is pursuing a goal that can't be reached. Dumbledore teaches Harry that all the emotions he is feeling, including all the bad ones (anger, sadness, grief, fear, injustice, betrayal) are all part of the human experience, and that he can't remove himself from them but he has to embrace them. Harry ends up seeing Voldemort as a human being; that's the meaning of his calling him 'Tom' in their last fight. In the movies, though, that scene is played as Harry trying to have the upper hand and to get back at Voldemort, which misses the point. In the books, Voldemort dies and his body falls to the ground, because he is just a human being. In the movies, Voldemort dies and his body dissolves into black pieces, which goes against the point of the books, which was that Voldemort wasn't a fantastic entity but a human being.

but of course it's just a children book and we can't take it seriously and we have to listen to those 'life is bleak death is void existence is meaningless none of what we do matters' rich guys instead 🙄

I wasn't assigned female at birth, I was observed female at birth. I was assigned the stereotypes and roles that come with my sex. I was assigned inferior at birth, I was assigned submissive at birth, I was assigned wife/mother/martyr at birth. I wasn't "assigned" my body, I was assigned the labels that come with how men perceive it.

I typically wear the niqab when I'm feeling very feminine

Gee, I wonder why you opted to wear the face-covering style when you're feeling feminine? Tell me, why is covering your face "feminine"? It couldn't be due to external influences and societal pressure, since gender is so "innate"? What about feeling "feminine" makes you feel like covering your face?

None of these styles are inherently gendered. It's even more obvious when you're removed from the culture where these styles are meant to signal masculinity/femininity — I couldn't tell you which styles correspond to which "gender".

it's. all. made. up.

The empathy women have, particularly towards other women, is exploited by men in order to perpetuate the cycle of female servitude.

You see all the men in the living room talking and chatting while the women clean up the dishes. You want to tell the men that you're not doing it, it's not fair that it's always the women... but that would mean leaving your mothers, aunts, sisters, cousins, grandmas to clean up without your help. So you help clean up.

Your mother does the brunt of the housework, cooking, cleaning. She complains to the entire family that it's too much. The males say that they'll try to make less mess and then get on with their lives. But you see your mother struggling, so you pick up the mop, the vacuum, the broom, the scrub brush. You don't want her to do it all on her own.

Your female friend or family member is struggling to take care of her kids and babies. Her husband gets a boys night out, fantasy football, golf, sports matches, time to just sit and watch TV uninterrupted. But she doesn't. So you volunteer to take care of her kids so that she can have some time to herself.

The greatest weapon men utilise against women is our empathy for one another. Because they know that at the end of the day, most women aren't as selfish as they are.

Dear GLAAD, Let me explain this as simply has possible. NO one is trying to outlaw Drag shows. Normal people just don't want child exposed to inappropriate entertainment.

There's no reason for kids to be exposed to this.....

Do the kids actually enjoy being used as props for parents to show off how cool they are to be woke enough to take their kids to that shift?

“That was the most sexual and inappropriate ‘family friendly’ drag show I have ever attended.”

"After the performance, one of the drag queens questions a little boy in the audience. He asks the little boy what his favorite part of the show was, and, without hesitation, the little boy shakes his head and says, “Nothing.” This answer is met with laughter from the audience and the drag queen himself."

At least that boy wasn't touched by the performers. Unlike this poor girl

Spoke to someone last night about how I was concerned there wasn’t a predominant counterculture in the current era. He claimed drag is the definition of counterculture right now.

What about pornsick, misogynistic males publicly displaying these qualities to children is “counterculture”, exactly? That has always been mainstream.

Tumblr banning porn really saved this website. Made it a public square for the girls to chat like philosophers. Girlblogger ideas only.

transwoman coworker says he has "no pronouns". do people not understand that "you" is a pronoun?
