A famous female writer said something you don't like but nothing illegal "we should cancel her fandom, I hope she dies"

A famous male writer did something at best disgusting (having sex with a girl with such an age and power gap is disgusting) at worst completely inhumane (Rape, emotional manipulation): "well there are some terfs involved in the accuse, and, we should wait to see! Maybe it wasn't actually Rape!"

You're all so disgusting you make me puke

A couple years back I watched a documentary on PBS that featured a little boy who had been telling his mom that he was a girl since he was 3 years old. His mom said that she'd been taken aback, and used to whoop him and fuss at him and tell him not to say that anymore. It didn't change anything. So she started looking for doctors and just general advice on what to do. Do you know what conclusion the doctors and therapists came to? That he was transgender.

So what happened? They started allowing their child to use puberty blockers. And even left their hometown in Texas to move to Austin, all because a problem with single-space bathrooms came up. The little boy didn't want to use the boy's bathroom, so the staff at the school allowed him to use the staff bathroom. And then an incident happened where the staff bathroom had been locked, and he didn't want to go into the boy's or girl's bathroom so he peed himself. This was part of a law in Texas dealing with single-sex bathrooms and that men and boys were not allowed to use the girl's restroom.

This child was 9 or 10 at most and had repeatedly heard adults say what was best for him. The parents are the ones who instigate this. They are the ones who hear the doctors say "your child is trans" and go "well, I want what's 'best' for my child, so let's go ahead with a transition." The child doesn't even get a chance to actually decide, it's a quick decision by parents all because their kid said "I wish I were a boy/girl" or "I don't like my body."

This is gender and body dysphoria, not transgenderism!

Having gender dysphoria does NOT make your child transgender, it means they have a mental illness that needs to be properly looked at and evaluated by a medical professional before you do anything. Surgery and hormones and puberty blockers shouldn't even be mentioned as a later option when a child is 6 years old, like what happened in the PBS "Growing Up Trans" documentary. They are six fucking years old, leave them be and let them be a kid.

Everyone says adults are too focused on gender and sex, when we need to question why children below 14 are bothering themselves with thinking about it. If we would just let kids be kids and not pull them into our politics or shove a phone in their faces at age 2, we would have a much better world. We need to stop letting doctors tell children what they are and what's best for them.

As a child, you don’t know the full scale of what you're getting into until it's far too late and you've ruined your body with chemicals. And even then, there's absolutely no guarantee that transitioning is going to "fix" your gender and body dysphoria, so you have to take anti-depressants on top of more drugs. Any sort of transition should only be permitted at age 18 and above, when you've matured enough to understand most of how you feel and what you want for yourself.

It's unfair to these kids. How can so few people see that?

"The thing is, those appalled by my position often fail to grasp how truly despicable I find theirs. I’ve watched “no debate” become the slogan of those who once posed as defenders of free speech. I’ve witnessed supposedly progressive men arguing that women don’t exist as an observable biological class and don’t deserve biology-based rights. I’ve listened as certain female celebrities insist that there isn’t the slightest risk to women and girls in allowing any man who self-identifies as a woman to enter single-sex spaces reserved for women, including changing rooms, bathrooms or rape shelters."
