Again and again you claim a threat that the numbers don't bear out. Until the Republicans made it an issue it's simply been happening in many places without causing problems. The "evidence" arguing there's a problem conveniently either looks at trans but fails to address where the offense happened, or looks at where but fails to address what--lumping looking too much in with actual assault.But it’s ok to victimize cis women? Because that’s how it feels to me. What I hear is that it is ridiculous and harmful for cis women to be concerned for their own safety. That being concerned for our safety is bigotry.Now.Why not? When will it be time to address those?
Just, not by victimizing an even more marginalized group.
And not one single person has told me HOW women are supposed t immediately discern that the naked stranger with a penis standing next to them is a woman and no threat.
Whenever I see a position with a bunch of low grade evidence and no high grade evidence I take that as a concession that they're wrong.
Huh? Once again, you're lumping a whole bunch of things--you can't prove your point so you lump it in with other points that can be proven (although with your list there's a bunch that can't) and pretend you've proven the lot.We’re ridiculous for caring about safety and modesty and not just accepting that people with penises have every right to be where ever they feel most comfortable —and cis women are bigots for objecting.
We’re called shrews and frigid for not being comfortable with whatever naked person with a penis wants to be near us.
We’re sluts and whores if we are too accepting of naked people with penises.
We’re blamed if someone with a penis rapes us. Blamed for not being careful enough, pure enough, sober enough, vigilant enough, understanding enough.
The problem is you are focusing on penises as an obvious symbol of the problem, never mind that you haven't presented any cases where there wasn't already an obvious problem before any penis made an appearance.Blamed for being too ( fill in the blank). I’m too exhausted from a lifetime of this bullshit.
And now, we’re bigots for having any feelings at all about naked strangers with penises in the women’s locker room.
You think trans women are being scapegoated?
No. Trans women are fine! I really mean that. They are not the problem. The problem is the glib expectation that women just will accept whatever someone with a penis tells us we should.
It’s the bullshit, the conflicting messages and the overwhelming one that whatever happens, we’re just wrong. We have no right to ever expect to feel comfortable and safe. We just have to accept whatever someone with a penis ( past or present) tells you to accept.
I’m sorry for venting. I’m sorry if you feel attacked or marginalized or scapegoated. Truly. That’s been my whole life. It sucks. I never want to do that to anyone. My fault entirely.
