Are TERFs going to kick out the gay trans men and lesbian trans women in LGBT spaces to include cishet dudes who date trans women and cishet women who date trans dudes, because thatâs what they would be advocating if they thought their logic all the way through?
Well, if itâs an âLGBTâ space of course they would be there.. considering theyre trans.
But a âgayâ trans man is a straight woman. and a âlesbianâ trans woman is a straight man. So no, they are not part of the gay community, they are not homosexual, they do not understand what it means to be homosexual.
A âCishetâ dude who dates transwomen isnât heterosexual. Heâs gay. (or bisexual) Itâs two male bodies.
that stupid terf post thatâs like âimagine that lesbians (meaning cis lesbians) do accept trans women as womenâ and then there was this long literally brain cell killing list about what this transmisogynist thought cis lesbians wouldnât be able to talk about and it was like âwe wouldnât be able to talk about menstruating for fear of ~triggering âtrans womenââ
and i had half the mind to reblog that post and be like miranda. miranda you fool. you absolute buffoon. literally no one in the history of ever has said that
all anyone ever said was stop equating menstruation to womanhood you actual literal living manifestation of the shingles virus
This is just a few of the examples of men (who identify as women) complaining about women discussing their periods.
Now, letâs go to transgender forums and see what they say to eachother about women, womenâs bodies, and womenâs bodily functions.
This poster gets filled with âsadness, jealousy, and rageâ at the sight of a vagina:
A commenter reassuringly says to him that at least  vaginas can be avoided, while on the other hand âI get triggered every time I need the ladyâs roomâ.
âDoes the jealousy ever go away?â, asks this poster, who admits that their âlust for girls is completely intertwined with jealousyâ:
âIâve been extremely jealous of women and their bodies from about pubertyâ
Jealous, unstable, misogynistic men angered (and sometimes aroused) at the very thought or sight of the female body, telling women to shut up about their lived experiences because itâs âtriggeringâ for them.
The type of shit âliberalâ lesbophobes and libfems support and expect lesbians to accept this sociopathic and misogynistic porn-influenced behavior. It takes 5 seconds for them to reveal this is how they think.
Hell nah, predatory and lesbophobic males are predatory and lesbophobic, I donât give a fuck what they call themselves and I donât give a fuck about libfem political correctness when this makes up most of the genderist movement.
Gay men - yes, rarely, but it exists. Iâve seen a good number of straight girls calling gay men ugly faggots because the gay men said they would never fuck a vagina.
However it is mostly directed at lesbians, and it mostly comes from straight/bisexual men who identify as women.
I have never seen a callout post about exclusive heterosexuality in my life.
If any gender can look any way, then there is no need to define gender and thus no need to identify as trans or non-binary or whatever. The trans have eliminated themselves. Problem solved.
I get requests all the time for evidence that most trans-identified kids grow out of it, the vast majority of them going on to be gay or lesbian adults. Here you go. Plenty of studies, helpfully compiled by Dr. James Cantor at this link:
Of course, nowadays, weâre influencing kids to STAY trans by âsocially transitioningâ them, using âpreferred pronouns,â and puberty blockers. Wouldnât it be interesting to just leave them alone instead of reassuring them that they really ARE the opposite sex, given how high the medical stakes are?
Parents urging and/or assisting minor children to transition is a form of conversion therapy. It is a way for their gender non-confirming child to grow up ânormalâ, i.e. not gay or lesbian. Itâs a form of social control. Itâs a form of gay and lesbian erasure.
A couple of decades ago the talk was of genetics or pre-natal hormones, i.e. finding some way to identify gay and lesbian fetuses in the womb (with the implied possibility of parents terminating such an unwanted and/or defective offspring).
Now parents can just wait until a gay or lesbian child goes through a typical (for the gender non-confirming gay or lesbian) gay or lesbian toddlerhood or childhood before they consider exercising their âparental optionâ of socially changing their gender and even medically altering their childâs body.
This is a form of child abuse.
Please note that Iâve made it clear that not all gay and lesbian children are gender non-conforming and for a time may wish to be the opposite sex. Some and only some are gender non-conforming.
I was one of those gender non-conforming girls. A tomboy always being mistaken for a real boy. That is until pubertyâŠwhen with the rush of hormones and a sudden influx of new 7th grade girls to my K -12 all girls school I began to understand that I might be a lesbian. I forgot all about wanting to be a boy. I just wanted to be with my best girlfriend all the time. Two years later it was handholding, back rubs, and my secret fantasies of kissing her. My lifelong obsession with Greta Garbo, Kate Hepburn, Audrey Hepburn, Barbrara Stanwyck, and Marilyn Monroe movies grew exponentially. A not a-typical lesbian adolescence in the 1970s which developed from a not a-typical gender non-conforming lesbian childhood of the 1950s and 1960s.
What if my parents had âassistedâ me in socially, or even worse, medically transitioning with puberty blockers? What would have happened to the âmeâ of me? What would ever have given my parents the right to sign away myself and my future body on a doctorâs Consent Form?
Where are the medical ethicists?
Please note that this has nothing to do with Intersexed individuals. And please note the long history of parents making the wrong decisions in those cases when children are born or well into childhood. This disastrous history should give us pause as we deal with parents making decisions for gender non-confirming children that most likely will have long-term if not life-time negative physical and emotional consequences.
Why What SEX Someone Else Chooses to Identify as Matters to Us
Why What SEX Someone Else Chooses to Identify as Matters to Us:
1. The erasure of gay children.
2. The erasure of "butch" lesbians and "femme" gay men.
3. The destruction of women-only spaces such as Michfest.
4. Invasion of female-only spaces of all kinds: dressing rooms, locker rooms, hospital rooms, shelters, rape crisis centers, etc.
5. The shaming and mocking of women who are afraid of the very real problem of public sexual assault and harassment.
6. The skewing of statistics in the STEM fields.
7. The destruction of women's athletics.
8. The skewing of crime statistics.
9. The silencing of women in regards to their natural biological functions because it "triggers" transwomen.
10. The erasure of women in female-related political issues ("pregnant people," "people who get abortions," "uterus bearers")
11. The inevitable effect on women's scholarships and women-only colleges.
12. The inevitable effect on affirmative-action protections for women in the workplace.
13. The erasure of organisations intended for fighting discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.
14. The basic denial of science -- biology and genetics -- in favor of social constructs and feelings.
15. Reinforcing instead of "challenging" the binary because according to trans people (and my old, bigoted uncle), girls do this and boys do that.
16. Making children believe that sexual identity results from things that should not be seen as immediately diagnostic: playing, dressing, hair styles, mannerisms.
17. Simultaneously attacking and appropriating both gay culture and female culture while launching sexist and homophobic slurs and threats directed at anyone who points this out, including and especially gays and women.
18. Trying to use guilt to force people into having sex with them even if they are not attracted to them, which is basically a step up from rape.
Either it *does* matter which bathroom people use, or it *doesnât.*
If it *does* matter:
In that case, while transwomen may fear violence at the hands of men, itâs also reasonable for women to fear violence at the hands of men/male bodied persons, whether they are transwomen, or just men who are claiming the label of trans in order to gain access to vulnerable women.
If it *doesnât* matter:
In that case, if women are not allowed to be fearful of men/male-bodied persons in their safe spaces, then transwomen shouldnât be allowed to be fearful of men in male spaces.
So which is it? Does it matter, or doesnât it?
Or is it just that as usual, women draw the short end of the stick and have to be afraid of men in their safe spaces, but transwomenâs needs are catered to?
Police have issued an arrest warrant for a suspect in the arson attack on Dr. Pierre Brassardâs cosmetic surgery clinic. Brassard is the only surgeon in Canada who will perform the radical genital surgeries desired by some transgender people who believe the procedures will ease their dysphoria caused by wishing they had reproductive systems of the opposite sex. The men who keep Brassard in business call themselves âBrassard Beautiesâ. These complex surgeries have a high rate of complications, both acute and chronic, even in the best case scenario. For example, the majority of males who undergo âgender affirmingâ genital surgery will go on to experience chronic urinary tract infections for the rest of their lives.
On May 2nd a man carrying a machete, an ax, and a gas can entered the side door of the clinic after hours. He was witnessed by a worker who assumed he was a fellow employee whoâd gotten locked out by the back dumpsters. The man rushed past him into the operating theatre and ignited the incendiary, which set off the sprinkler system, damaging clinic equipment and supplies. He left the premises before the fire department arrived. Personnel who remained in the building evacuated and no one was harmed. Over $700,000. in damage was caused, and surgeries were cancelled for two days until an alternate temporary facility was arranged. [1]
The transgender community described the incident as an âact of terrorâ against transgenders [2], likened to attacks by men on womenâs reproductive health providers [1], and called for hate crime charges to be brought against the perpetrator. Egale, the Canadian Human Rights Trust, stated:
This act of arson is a symbolic affront to Canadaâs trans community, and nothing short of hate crime. The attack underlines the threat of violence that is endured by Canadian trans people on a daily basis, and affirms the continued need for positive change in our countryâs public perception of trans people.â [3]
The suspect sought by police is Jayne Hellen Heideck, 42, of British Columbia, a transwoman and apparent [4] ex-patient of Brassardâs. He is charged with breaking and entering, arson by negligence, arson with disregard for human life, among other charges.
While the transgender community decried the lack of outrage that the âhate crimeâ received in the mainstream press and blogosphere, common sense led most sites, including this one, to suspect the perpetrator may be a member of the transgender community itself.
In 2012 transgender activists attempted to fire bomb a Wells Fargo bank in Portland. [5]
In 2012 transgender activists shut down the University of Pittsburgh repeatedly via bomb threats scrawled on bathroom walls and sent over the internet. [6]
In 2012 a transgender activist threatened to firebomb the feminist London Radfem 2012 conference. [5]
In 2015 a transwoman was convicted in an arson attack on the San Francisco home of facial feminization surgeon Doug Ousterhout. [7]
In 2015 Stacie Laughton, first elected openly transgender state representative, was arrested for threatening to firebomb a hospital. [8]
Last month, a transwoman confessed to an arson attack on the Gay Pride flag at the University of British Columbia. [9]
Update: Police are reporting this suspect as a woman (Credit to Gallusmag)

Itâs interesting how much reading between the lines one has to do while reading that article.  Yes, it was a âwomanâ who set the fire, and no we wonât share âherâ  picture (because that would be to big a hint about what  âsheâ  really is).  Nor can the police state the motive for the attack. Nor can we, as reporters, actually do our job and share what type of surgery  this âwomanâ  might have had that would cause âherâ to set a fire that caused so much damage that we were calling it a hate crime up until five minutes ago. That hate crime classification has somehow mysteriously changed, but we as reporters wonât be offering any clarification on that. You see, there is  no free speech in Canada.\
Tumblr is theoretically angry at the idea of lesbians being pressured to date men but 1000% okay with pressuring lesbians to date men who call themselves women. Tumblr fails to realise both ideas are at the exact same level of homophobia, except their new and improved version of homophobia is more confusing and guilt-inducing for young lesbians, making it much easier to pressure them into apologising for their boundaries.
Headlines today include âCaitlin Jenner to pose nude for sports illustratedâ, and âmadonna defends her racy met gala gownâ. Madonna is 57 and being given a lot of shit for wearing a dress that is âtoo sexyâ, while a 66 year old Jenner is being celebrated for being sexual (just like the vanity fair cover, which never would have allowed a biological female of the same age to wear so little). Transwomen will never have the social experiences of females unless they pass and live in stealth, so basically none of them.
But, Amber Gilleylen said, figuring out the shape of Mazyâs life has been harder than any math problem. It was a puzzle that started when Mazy was about 4.
âI would see her doing little things like tightening her shirt around her waist and calling it a dress and saying âMommy Iâm wearing a dress just like you,â or wearing my high heels around the house,â Gilleylen said.
Lots of kids dabble in dress-up, even boys, which is how Mazy appeared at birth and was being raised. But for Mazy, Â it was real.
âI always had to say, âIâm a girl Iâm a girl, Iâm a girlâ â like a thousand times,â she said.
Mazy felt she couldnât tell anyone at school about her dozens of dolls, including a rotating cast of Barbies, with their assorted clothes, cars and a multi-story house. She didnât dare mention her female superhero costumes.
Once a happy kid, Mazy started coming home in tears every day. She began expressing suicidal thoughts, saying things like, âI want to die and go to heaven where I can be a real girl.â
We battled for our right just to be, then battled again through the plague years just to live, now the youngest generation of gay kids are being manipulated to carve up and put chemicals into their bodies to conform to a purely made-up social convention of gender roles. It sickens and saddens me.
If youâre going to argue that transwomen shouldnât be able to use the fucking bathroom because there are a few examples of violence acts commited by trans people then you may as well argue that LITERALLY NO GROUP OF PEOPLE should be allowed to use the bathroom for the same reason.
no one is trying to say men who identify as women should be prevented from using bathrooms⊠just that they shouldnât be in womenâs bathrooms.
Some places have even installed gender neutral bathrooms alongside male/female rooms, and men have protested that decision.
Statistically speaking, men have a higher propensity to commit violent crimes than women. Even men that identify as women. Eliminating the last few female-only areas under Patriarchy is not the answer.
Bathrooms arenât even the biggest issue - changing rooms, public showers, female prisons, female universities, female-only rape shelters, domestic violence shelters.. all of these places are being forced to accommodate the feelings of men at the expense of women
