Something about the Anglo-Saxon skullshape that makes people into imperialist transphobes.

Twitter thread in case anyone wants to yell at the transphobes in the replies.

    I really dont understand the premise that a penis existing is like some awful disgusting perverted thing that should never be spoken about it. If there was a person in a locker room who looked like Jennifer Lawrence, portrayed 100% like a woman with a clothes on, was only interested sexually in men - does her having a penis make it unacceptable for her to be in a woman's dressing room? It's just a fucking organ, it's basically the same as a vagina but shaped differently. A trans woman with a penis is not some by-default sexual predator.

    If you're so fucking upset at seeing a woman with a penis, go get changed somewhere less public or go to a gym with more private locker rooms. Do they also want to ban lesbians from women's locker rooms because they might be oggling?

      Do they also want to ban lesbians from women’s locker rooms because they might be oggling?

      Wasn't this exactly the rhetoric like 20 or 30 years ago? It's all just recycled bigotry now that it's mostly socially unacceptable to bash gay people.

      I'd like to reiterate my idea that I stated in another thread that we need to build a giant torpedo to sink terf island and make it into a giant artificial reef. :transshork-happy:

        Rule, Reeftannia! Reeftannia rule the waves! Britannia never never never shall behave

        When Britain first, at Transbian's command, Sank beneath the azure main, This was the charter of the land, And Vanguardian Comrades sang this strain:

        The nations not yet blest as thee Must, in their turn, to torpedoes fall, While thou shalt flourish great and free: The dread and envy of them all.

      I mean, they very well might want to ban lesbians too, unfortunately. But yeah, I know Contrapoints is controversial, but I think she makes a good point in her "Gender Critical" video that a lot of the TERF "reasons" for being anti-trans are just a "rational" mask to hide their disgust.

      If there was a person in a locker room who looked like Stavros after being lost in the wilderness for a month, was wearing short-shorts and a half-shirt, was gender-fluid and with zero standards...

      Who the fuck cares?

      Person needs to take a shit. Let'm take a shit.

      Certain regressive strains of feminism are just as gender essentialist as the patriarchy they claim to oppose - they just invert the value judgments. They take regressive notions like "if you have a penis, you're a man" and "men can't help themselves around women, it's just the way we are!" and instead of saying "this is why it's up to a woman to behave properly so she isn't raped" they say "this is why penises are evil."

      (Funny enough, Andrea Dworkin, despite being the go-to example for many of a "man-hating feminist," fully supported transwomen and believed that SRS should be a guaranteed right)
