Ofc a dude says this. Yes it does affect my life, no it’s not a one off thing, and it’s not just one person being uncomfortable. It’s not my problem that weird stuff like this doesn’t happen in other countries, doesn’t mean i have to swallow my discomfort so that a small minority can make a mockery out of women
they are women, yes they are biologically different, but gender is a social construct, not all cis women get periods, not all cis women can get pregnant, and neither of those things are required to identify as a woman your stance comes from a place of bigotry rather than of actual concern it seems, I am hearing you out, you just sound like a bigot
That’s such a horrible argument “if it affected you you would’ve given your personal experiences to a bunch of strangers who already made it clear they don’t care about your concerns”, believe what you want but im seeing a clear lack of understanding from ya that how people act and what they do does in fact impact others
bc bigotry isn’t an argument that should be taken seriously in any context, even if you had been sexually assaulted by a trans woman, it doesn’t mean trans women shouldn’t be allowed in places for women because they are in fact women, blame those that commit sex crimes if that’s what you’re so concerned about, not all trans women but you keep saying “DM me” instead of commenting in here too, like why not just say it here where everyone can see it?
you feeling uncomfortable is not a valid reason to not include trans women in women’s spaces as I said earlier, here’s an example: “Lesbians shouldn’t be in women’s spaces because they make me feel uncomfortable” Is this is a valid reason? No, this is very clearly homophobic, same thing with trans women
why should trans women be denied from women’s spaces when they are in fact women? why are they called trans *WOMEN* if they are not women? It sounds like you deny transgender people their gender identity which is in fact transphobic by definition you just keep saying bigoted things, get called out on it, and then get mad when you get called out on it, educate yourself and stop being such a sensitive snowflake
not calling you a liar, but the idea that it’s making a mockery out of women is your OPINION, it is a subjective interpretation by definition, it is NOT a FACT at the end of segregation, white people were deeply uncomfortable sharing buses and schools with black people, they thought they were dangerous and were scared for their safety, does this make segregation justifiable? Of course not
are there any other reasons you have to not want trans women in women’s spaces outside of the fact you think they’re dangerous and they make you uncomfortable? your emotional discomfort shouldn’t trump their right to the spaces that they belong in how is it any different than white people being uncomfortable around black people after segregation?
In reality though all I said is that ive experienced what its like to be silenced in order to affirm the feelings of trans women, and that its a mockery because xyz, and its just “you’re a liar stop whining don’t speak” etc etc. Just such a joke. And all of the above listed things has been said by one of u 3 in this interaction
Please stop ignoring my question. How is you feeling uncomfortable letting trans women into women’s spaces any different than white people feeling uncomfortable letting black people into buses or schools after segregation? As you said, they’re “dangerous” and it makes you “uncomfortable”
“I never claimed trans women are violent (even tho they have been recently)” is implicitly claiming they’re violent, something you said verbatim “…doesn’t mean I have to swallow my discomfort so that a small minority can make a mockery of women.” — you suggesting trans women doing things that cis women do makes you uncomfortable But sure you never said that
I mean it’s hard when that is an objective statement but isn’t the point I was making. To be clear on my stand there: though several trans women have chosen violence recently that does not mean all trans women r violent. I did not mean to make it seem like trans women are a monolith
Ok I’ll tell you just because you’re respectful. I had to switch gyms because at the one i went to there were 3 instances: one trans woman walked past me in the locker room with their d!ck out, and two were standing in the locker room shirtless. That is sexual harassment and completely unacceptable, hope this helps pea brain
I never said it was fine or normal (thats a different debate we can have after we close this one), please try and stick to the argument instead of changing the subject. But since you admitted it’s not sexual harassment, my question is this. Do you have any other examples of it affecting you or was that it?
I dont at all admit it wasn’t sexual harassment, that’s what you decided knowing no details. It’s not up for debate whether or not that’s fine or normal. Discussing my experience is pretty on topic so not even sure what to do with that piece. I accidentally misgendered a trans woman at work and she had a mental breakdown, screaming at me. I understand she felt triggered but it was an honest mistake & she had no right to get in my face. it was actually frightening
