A massive sense of entitlement=peak marginalized
Here at 52 mins aprox @joswinson compares a lesbian entering a women’s refuge as a risk comparable with someone who is biologically male. I’m not sure she grasps why women need the Equality Act.
The “here” is a podcast by Andrew Marr, which is UK-only so I can’t listen; Jo Swinson is the Lib Dem Leader. She says lesbians are a risk to women in shelters just as men are.
What happened to everyone’s brain? Lesbians are not a risk to straight women! Just as straight women are not a risk to lesbians. That’s not how any of this works.
I’m so angry at this that I actually feel sick. A supposed ‘leader’ of the ‘liberal’ democrats telling ME I’m as big a risk as a man if I need to access a women’s refuge. This is an attack on an already marginalised group who have scant support when experiencing domestic abuse.
It used to be a marginalized group. Now we understand that the only truly marginalized group is Tranz Laydeez. Women, especially lesbians, gay men, people of color, all are simply oozing privilege compared to Tranz Laydeez.
Ah, the lesbian ploy. This is one that has been touted as a good argument for allowing men self-identifying as women into refuges by that odious twosome of Crip Dyke and Giliell over at you-know-where.
Well we’re not supposed to notice that males are bigger and stronger than females, and thus potentially more dangerous to us EVEN IF you ignore stats about who’s more likely to be violent, sexually predatory, and so on.
After all, if we noticed and acknowledged that we might start to wonder about why it’s a human right for males who feel they are females to compete with and against females in sports. And that would be like white supremacism.
So the argument here is – and I’m being generous in even bothering to parse the statement for logical basis at all – lesbians are just as likely to rape/assault a woman because they too are attracted the female sex? So, being attracted to [sex] is the sole and entire reason behind violence against [sex]? If so, shouldn’t there be equal violence from women against men? The briefest familiarity with the statistics of violence show that this is not so, not to mention the different physicality slanting things in favour of the male sex even if there was equal propensity to commit violence against the sex one is attracted to…
Even at my most generous, this is total bullshit.
‘Everything is about sex….except for sex, of course, which is about power/violence.’
