Is there also an international white people’s day?
Trans men are men.
No they’re not, and we all have the civil liberty to say so.
It made an image to illustrate its four word pronouncement.
Of course there’s no one way to be a man; it doesn’t follow and it isn’t true that men who get “their” periods are women, nor does it follow nor is it true that “men” who get pregnant and give birth are men. There’s no one way to be a man, but there are ways not to be a man, such as being born with a female body.
And we all have the civil liberty to defend that truth, and to say that it is truth and that what the ACLU asserts is not truth, is false, is wrong, is a lie. The American Civil Liberties Union has no business trying to bully us into agreeing that men can be women and women can be men.
Do non-binary men get periods? What’s the difference between a non-binary man and a non-binary woman? Do non-binary people who are neither men not women get periods?
Do people get non-binary periods? Are non-binary periods different from the other kind? Do non-binary people get exclamation points?
I usually give them question marks, but I may be mispunctuating them, thereby committing acts of actual violence.
It’s called growing some (at the very least metaphorical) balls and quit your whining…
I think, but I’m not sure, that non-binary periods are 2E.
But at least we can agree that everybody has a colon.
Okay, except for those who have had bowel resection, and have a semicolon.
But we don’t seem to have lynch mobs of trans men assaulting men, or demanding that men wax their genitals in order to sue them etc. etc. This isn’t another ‘both sides’ issue. Misogynist TRAs are a real thing, and acknowledging their existence, and the threat they pose, does NOTHING for the rights and safety of legitimate trans-women.
Oh hell! That last sentence is bass-ackwards. Unmasking Karen White and Jessica Yaniv is not a threat to ‘real’ trans women.
Then I’m not.
And this really is the fatal flaw in all Genderspeak:
• Either Your definition of “men” denotes people with physical traits more representative of fathers than mothers, in which case it doesn’t apply to people with physical traits more representative of mothers than fathers, and the latter group does not belong with the former.
• Or there is no justification for saying that it does apply to the former, and the latter group does not belong with the former.
Substitute “women” for “men”, “mothers” for “fathers”, and vice versa, and the same logic applies.
“Non-binary” just drives me up the wall. To be non-binary is to have a fucking pulse–if you are a living, breathing human being, you will never fit the perfect definition of ‘masculine’ or ‘feminine’ in your society, because the very nature of gendering roles is inherently going to run into conflict with reality. (Of course, women get the worst of this–the set of “feminine” traits does not merely set the bar impossibly high, the way it is for masculinity, but also inherently contradictory in ways that most lists of masculine traits are not.)
