The detrans tag being filled with misogynistic humiliation porn is definitely a silencing tactic made by the queer community or just straight men. The feminist tag is also full of humiliation porn. That’s not a coincidence.
I hate conservatives so much it’s insane. You’re not protecting women from tims you’re the fucking reason trans ideology exists in the first place, you’re the reason these fucking men feel entitled to our spaces, you’re the reason homosexual and gnc women are getting unnecessary, and potentially dangerous medical procedures. I didn’t want to become a boy because I was introduced to trans ideology, I wanted to become a boy because I was tormented and excluded for not being feminine and was sexually harassed at a young age. trans ideology just gave me an unhealthy way to escape your toxic bullshit. And you don’t actually want to fix the problem, you don’t want gnc women and men to accept themselves, you just want to shove everyone back into your stupid boxes. You are not our fucking allies
Sometimes the aspects of women’s oppression that seem minor and insignificant do make me want to scream because they are proof of just how pervasive and inescapable misogyny is but you’d have to experience that to recognize it for what it is when a woman is freaking out about something that seems trivial on the surface...it’s because you can only see the surface
4% of women in prison are there for sexual crimes*
48% of “trans women” in prison are there for sexual crimes*
- where 21.6% of “trans women” in prison are specifically in prison for rape
*Where “sexual crimes” contains indecent exposure, voyeurism, paedophilia, sexual assault and rape, but does not include kerb-crawling or allowing a premises to be used as a brothel. (Added note: “being a prostitute” is not illegal in the UK, do not allow TRAs to claim part of those “sexual crimes” are “selling sex,” we criminalise johns and pimps.)
Since it’s useful here, I’ve put together a handy guide that lists the state of the law regarding prostitution in England and Wales to combat that deliberate misinformation.
Female prisoners in Scottish jails have told how transgender inmates serving sentences alongside them switched back to their male birth gend
Female prisoners in Scottish jails have told how transgender inmates serving sentences alongside them switched back to their male birth gender after being released.
The disclosure — in a study published in the British Journal of Criminology — has raised fresh concerns about self-identification of gender posing a risk to women’s safety as first minister Nicola Sturgeon prepares to press ahead with gender recognition legislation this year.
In England and Wales there have been a small number of incidents of violence and sexual violence involving female prisoners being attacked by trans prisoners.
The study by Dr Matthew Maycock of Dundee University’s school of education and social work turned up no such disturbing behaviour in Scotland, with only some discomfort about very limited consensual sexual activity.
One Scottish Prison Service (SPS) source said: “There have been incidents, but very minor. No one can say for certain that nothing significant has happened, but if it has none has been reported.”
However, Maycock’s report did identify fears among female inmates of predatory behaviour by some trans prisoners, with one suggesting “the transitions of transgender people might be an attempt by paedophiles or other sex offenders to access cis-women in the female prison estate”.
Another woman told of a transwoman prisoner in her work party whose views “were totally wrong. He wanted to be in this hall because he wanted to have sex with loads of lassies.”
In response to a freedom of information request, the SPS confirmed that one transgender woman housed within the women’s estate was on the sex offenders register as a result of a previous offence unrelated to the offence for which they were currently being held.
It also confirmed that no one currently in SPS custody had made the service aware that they were in possession of a gender recognition certificate confirming their acquired gender.
Another recent FoI request revealed that 12 trans prisoners convicted of violence or sexual crimes had been accommodated in Scottish women’s jails within the past 18 months. Only one had transitioned fully while the others had self-identified as female.
Maycock, who worked for the Scottish Prison Service when he undertook the research at four Scottish prisons, said several of the 15 female prisoners he interviewed spoke of transgender people who had transitioned in custody and reverted to their birth gender following release.
While some believed prisoners born male had switched for sexual opportunities, there was also a view that some had abused the system to get an easier time in jail.
Marion Calder of the campaign group For Women Scotland said the findings raised new questions about the Scottish government’s gender reforms agenda. “It has repeatedly said it will uphold the rights and protections that women currently have to single-sex spaces under the Equality Act, and yet we can see quite clearly that in practice it is busy undermining them in the most egregious way.
“It is a cruel and unusual punishment when failing to pay your TV licence can result in being forced to share a shower with a male sex offender. Single-sex prisons need to be reinstated immediately; the prison service has already shown it is capable of safely housing men, however they identify, in the male estate.”
Dr Kate Coleman, director of Keep Prisons Single Sex, said: “When you consider that very many women in prison have a history of violent and sexual abuse at the hands of men, to force them to share accommodation with prisoners who they could reasonably recognise as male is outrageous.”
While some women surveyed were respectful of the rights of trans people to identify as they felt, and positive about some of the trans prisoners they had lived beside, there was also anger that they had no opportunity to express discomfort.
One prisoner said she feared the trans prisoners she had known had conned the SPS. She said: “The last one to get out, back living as a man. The one before that got out, back living as a man.
“While he was in the hall, [he] was telling people, I’m stopping taking my medication because I can’t [become erect]. I’ve not a problem living with trans people; it’s living with people who are manipulating the system and pretending to be trans.”
Another said of another trans prisoner: “I feel like it was a bit of an act. Because she had a beard and she didn’t try. She basically had a short back and sides and . . . she just looked awful. And she didn’t try to cover up her ‘down belows’. She just didn’t try.”
The SPS is aware of Maycock’s research but has no plans to make use of it. Instead, it has undertaken its own consultation exercise into how it fits trans prisoners into its estate and expects to have a report by the summer.
On Christmas Eve, Scotland’s prison population stood at 7,435, with only 259 listed as women. A total of 15 prisoners were trans, 12 of them trans women and three trans men. It is understood that all are currently held in female units as previous experience of trans men in the male estate had caused tensions.
A senior SPS source said risk assessments are conducted before offenders born male and identifying as female are allowed into the female estate, and the validity of their claims is tested. “It is not, as some think, automatic on request,” the source said.
1. That's actually a very small proportion of the male prison, population is trans, but there's more than enough to put them all safely in a male wing.
2. "a small number of incidents of violence and sexual violence involving female prisoners being attacked by trans prisoners" well yeah, there's 12 of them in total in Scotland. Can we get a % on that?
3. So the trans men are also in women's prison? It's almost like women's prison is just objectively a better place to be. How can they understand that a woman placed in a men's prison would be at risk but not that the reverse also puts women at risk?
Terfs are a little silly goofy " having hairy legs is the radfem i like your shoelaces code " and then they call women of color men for having more body hair 😐
when have “TERFs” en masse ever called women of colour males for having body hair… black women actually have less body hair than white women IIRC, yet it’s actually trans rights activists that are constantly degrading WOC with “if we consider them females despite them being so Manly and Big and Hairy, then why not males 🤔 makes you think 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔”
Consider, however, that the vast majority of TERF arguments against trans women are based in racism. The exclusion of trans women as women is “backed up” by their “inherently manly” characteristics, many of which are natural and beautiful and feminine but were masculinized in the past few centuries as a specific brand of racist dehumanization that allowed colonists to feel better about the genocide they committed. The presumed appearance of what Eugenicists believed women should look like (hairless, soft features, light hair, small lips) was created as a way to differentiate BIPOC from white people in order to “justify” the genocide and violence inflicted on them by the white colonists. You will find that TERF logic and eugenicist logic are almost identical. Do your research & you’ll find that TERF “logic” and that community as a whole is built almost entirely from white eugenicists’ racist “justifications” for genocide and colonialism.

Y’all missed the point of this entirely. Go look at the roots of your logic & understand what you’ve been perpetuating.
black women are women because they have female primary sex characteristics. trans women are men because they have male primary characteristics. this isn't difficult and you're being racist in the exact same way that nivernais called you out for. women of color do not have "manly characteristics" by anyone's definition. you are just racist.
women can be in any form - short, tall, broad, plump, skinny, hairy, whatever, but the one thing that all have in common is being humans of the female sex. how is this in any way "restrictive" or racist, unless you see women of colour as being male-like?
I also wanna put it out there that if someone on this website writes like 5 paragraphs about gender and you read it 4 times and still cannot for the life of you figure out what the fuck they are trying to say or can’t tangibly imagine how what they’re saying would apply to real life situations here & now, you’re NOT an idiot, they don’t know more than you do, they literally are just bullshitting and you’re not evil for having thought that secretly LOL
Writing paragraphs of absolute nonsense to make the reader feel dumb (and therefore not question it) for not understanding it is the core of postmodernism.
Don’t fall for it. You are not dumb for misunderstanding. They are deliberately writing bullshit to make themselves look “smarter”.
Remember that article about Jon Stewart calling JKR antisemitic? And I was very disappointed because I love Jon Stewart? Yeah he straight up tweeted a video where he says that is not true, he never said that, and the news site that reported it is trash.
Someone else may have already posted this but I haven't seen it so I wanted to spread the truth. And not once in the video does he say anything negative towards JKR. It's absolutely insane how news sites just blatantly lie for views nowadays.
You know what crazy to me is I have body dysmorphia and if I told my therapist I was going kill myself if I can’t get a nose job she would rightly send me to psych ward and yet another group people make threats and they get whatever they want.
The funny thing is that, though I believe that some trans people are genuinely suicidal over this, so much of it is just socially spread bullshit. So much is just people saying ‘trans people will kill themselves if they don't get medications’ and other such guilt-tripping and abusive threats. There’s not an epidemic of trans people committing suicide due to lack of access (even though, yes, I admit that some do kill themselves but certainly not anywhere near the rates described). There’s an epidemic of threats.
And you know what? Even if there was an epidemic of suicides, all that proves is that it's another mental health issue and should be treated like such. Why are people allowed to threaten suicide if they don't access certain medication and then we simply just... Give it to them? And pretend like that's actually going to cure their suicidal tendencies?
“If you don’t shave down my bones, pump me full of hormones, and give me fillers I’ll kill myself. Also my insurance has to cover it otherwise I’ll kill myself twice” make it, make sense.
so apparently you can hide Nazis on Twitter by setting your location results to Germany or France because Twitter is legally required to remove Nazi content there, so Twitter always had the ability to remove Nazis, they just choose not to
It’s high key illegal to make any kind of nazi joke or gesture in Germany. People can get fired for it and in extreme cases even arrested. On my class trip to Berlin this kid thought it’d be funny to do a Nazi salute in the parking lot where hitler died (was not a destination, just happened to walk by). He was immediately pulled aside by police who legit booked him a flight home for the next day, without the rest of us. He was suspended for two weeks too.
Funny how the country responsible for this takes full responsibility and fights to make it never happen again, while the US, who spent years basing an entire identity on fighting Nazis, gives them a platform to speak freely and draft members.
Don’t forget they literally came out and said if they filtered nazis like they do in Germany and France the algorithm wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between nazis and republican congressmen.
