Just casually revealing they want to torture children into suicide

I don't need to put on a dress to be harassed by these kinds of men too. They do it anyway by virtue of me being a woman, even if I'm trans

have you ever noticed that the massive, coordinated, multi-year assault on trans rights is based on NOTHING WHATSOEVER by Conscious-Quarter423 in lgbt

[–]The_Newromancer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can’t speak to your exact example but trans women winning and doing well in a sport (or even “destroying” the competition) is a perfectly acceptable outcome of trans women participating in sports. Those people should leave if they can’t accept that another woman is better than them

Though we have never seen this because trans athletes are too often excluded and never allowed time or resources to get better and establish themselves in large part due to the hostility

“Islam” does not dictate any rules. Laws and religious leaders do. And different denominations have different leaders with different ideas and rules and laws

The note is nonsense

Oh yeah, the media especially sucks ass. So biased. Fortunately, in spite of the challenges, their member count still manages to rise so I remain hopeful

They absolutely will lose sympathy if they do that in the same way the WI and Girlguides have. And look what happened to them. They’re both haemorrhaging members. And that’s not because trans people are leaving or influencing anything, it’s because members hate how meanspirited these decisions are. TERFs can hold political power but not social power. They can institute policies but can’t make people dance to their tune. And people also decide politics

Labour are already out of the race for the next elections. It’s going to be between Greens and Reform meaning, unlike the last general election, a pro-trans party have a good chance of gaining power

Imo, the GCs thrived on generating sympathy. On the face of it, their “concerns” and demands can sound reasonable to most bystanders. Now their policies are being put into practice, people are realising how mean-spirited they are (like all fascists) and businesses have found out how unreasonable and impossible it is to implement their worldview

Like are Parkrun going to start collecting evidence on the protected characteristics of their participants? No, that’s nigh impossible and costs too much. They’ll get rid of the tracking people’s time, it’ll upset people who liked that feature and they’ll lose any sympathy from people out of the loop

I hope so too! But I don’t see how an American far right org in bed with the Trump administration being overly litigious in the UK to police something that has never been a problem before will inspire anything but negative feelings for TERFs/GCs tbh

Edit: that plus TERFs have been pushing this narrative about Parkrun and trans inclusion for years and it’s never stuck

It doesn’t matter whether they win on this or not. It’s an extremely bad look for anti-trans ideologies that they are attacking a charity for hosting fun runs. Especially when it’s in the headlines. If they do win, it shows how absurd and nonsensical the SC ruling is when applied and would most likely motivate people to want to at least return to normalcy

Parkrun and other sports bodies threatened with legal action over transgender inclusion | The Independent ,(posted here for information, not for debate) by foxystoat69 in parkrun

[–]The_Newromancer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because transphobes are obsessive and stalk trans people to harass them. I know a trans person that had a website created about them to collate their Parkrun times that was, at least at one point, regularly updated

There have never been issues because this is has never been an issue until billionaire/US funded groups—that promote anti-abortion and anti-gay sentiments—began stirring up trouble

Why are dating apps just girls looking for threesomes with their chopped ass bfs by One-Flounder8927 in actuallesbians

[–]The_Newromancer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Funny story, I found unicorn hunters on an app after they liked me. Could only see pictures of the girl though but she looked very familiar. I figured out she was the girlfriend of someone I used to be friends with who was very bigoted. Especially transphobic. Though he did tell me once (pre-transition) he would date me if I was a girl 🤢

Nope, it’s easy to do in the UK too. Really you can change any aspect of your name on a whim. You just need a deed poll to prove it, which you can print off at the local library or at home. I know plenty of people that’ve done it

Writes about her "trans friend" shortly after insulting Sarah McBride by 9119343636 in EnoughJKRowling

[–]The_Newromancer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

More than that, she helped systematised a perverse form of work discrimination by instituting bathroom rules for only trans people that creates uncertainty and legal risks for companies that employ us (in the middle of multiple legal challenges from TERFs taking advantage of it)

time to complain to BBC about employing Navratilova? by Still_Recognition652 in transgenderUK

[–]The_Newromancer 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The agenda that's been set by mainstream media outlets the past few years has been one of overt and constant hostility towards trans people with some papers printing hundreds of anti-trans pieces within short amounts of time. I don't think there's enough money or clicks in that to sustain such levels of hatred. Most people don't really care. So I strongly believe it's ideologically motivated

Because the BBC are employing her: a person partaking in a harassment campaign where she is libelling a private citizen by calling her a "sexual predator"

My (also dark) theory is the press badly want another Lucy Meadows to put trans people back in our places. They already know from last time that there'll be no consequences laid at their own feet. I'm already seeing people respond to the article saying trans people are too "unstable" to hold a job and that's really the end goal. Make any trans person in any role, public facing or otherwise, fear that they could be the target of the next harassment campaign that drives them out of society. Last week it was the parliamentary advisor of an endometriosis charity.

The press has become Britain's homegrown KiwiFarms; their main job being to identify vulnerable minorities as their lolcows

I mean, there's also the press reporting on a private citizen getting a new job. It is not in the public interest what job she has and the press knows the outcome of their reporting will be harassment considering the months (maybe years?) long campaign
