Harmful
Rape Crisis Scotland continues to get comments on its tweets that it no doubt views as yet more “abuse” when in fact the comments are simply reminding RCS that their policy of “including” trans women in their women only spaces makes their women only spaces NOT WOMEN ONLY. Ok I shouted, and they can call that abuse if they like, but they don’t listen.
This tweet in particular:
It calls the discussions “harmful” but what about its “harmful” policy of saying it provides women only spaces when in fact it includes males who say they identify as female? What about that? I think the policy is a good deal more harmful than the discussions.
They say the discussion is frightening people away from RCS, but what about the fact that RCS policy puts women in danger by falsely telling them it provides women only spaces?
“You are not alone”… *scoff* you’re in a room full of men.
Right next to ‘incloozhun’ is the cult of ‘non-judgmentalism.’ If the dictator says that 2+2=5, instead of saying ‘no it isn’t,’ we’re supposed to worry about his self-esteem, or tell just so stories about how numbers are social constructs.
John, good analogy. I don’t know how many people I’ve talked to that have taken the logical thing, the words we call numbers, how we name them, are social constructs, and two would still be two even if we called it kangaroo, and turned that into the numbers themselves being social constructs.
