Many people I know are sharing an ig post with the text "There is no trans debate. There are trans people and then there are fascists who wish to dominate and eliminate trans people" presumably in response to the uk ruling that the legal definition of woman is an adult human female. I feel really frustrated about how black and white the trans discussion is. On the trans activist side, the view seems to be that you either fully support whatever trans people say or do or want, no questions asked - which makes you one of the good ones - or you're a fascist who wants to eliminate trans people from the face of the earth. The whole narrative that "there is no trans debate, only trans people" is so dishonest too. There wouldn't be a debate if the trans rights movement wasn't pushing to change society -both in terms of legislature and social conventions- in a way that impacts absolutely everyone and especially women. Nobody is debating the existence of trans people. The debate is about what trans people demand of others. The debate is about making sure that changes in legislation are fair to everyone and that the effects of legal changes have been considered. If we cannot have a clear definition of what a woman is, there can be no women's rights. There can be no equality or liberation for women if we don't know who they are and what they need. There can be no legal protections for women if anyone can be a woman. It's infuriating how the trans activist side absolutely refuses to consider any point of view other than their own. Wanting open and thorough discussion is not hate. Questioning things is not hate or fascism. And it drives me crazy that I know that if I were to point out any of this in the most polite way I could to any of those people I know in real life they would think that I must be one of the fascists who deny that trans people exist and want them exterminated. It's all so tiresome.

i wish all of these well meaning useful idiots could actually tell us whats so motherfucking hysterical about the term woman being defined by sex, as in, what exactly makes this so dangerous for trans people specifically. you say its violence, okay, how is it violent? how is this simple boundary women are putting up dangerous? how does it hurt you? nobody specifies, we’re all just supposed to take them on their word. im not denying that theyre in pain, im just confused as to why women are supposed automatically take their pain seriously without asking questions and why it must be prioritized over our concerns.
