Capture

The ACLU doesn’t already have enough to do, it seems.

Trans girls are girls, they tell us, superimposed on images of…two women. Not trans, not girls, just women. They’re actors: Blake Lively and Leighton Meester. Why is the ACLU telling us “trans girls are girls” with photos of two women?

Maybe the idea is that when we hear or read the phrase “trans girls” (or women? or have we officially reverted to calling women “girls” now, as if it were 1955 again?) we are supposed to visualize… Blake Lively and Leighton Meester. We’re supposed to visualize women, and not just women but young pretty smiling women.

That’s the whole point of women, I guess – being young and pretty and smiling. Women who aren’t any of that are just bitches, or cunts if they’re really ugly and frowny.

And then the slogan – “Trans people belong in sports — and everywhere else.” But what does that mean? Nobody belongs everywhere – other people’s living spaces without consent, to name one category. Very few people belong inside the cockpit of a 747, or an epidemic research lab, or the kitchen of your favorite restaurant.

And more specifically, of course, they want us to understand that slogan to mean it’s fine for men who identify as trans to compete against women and thus deprive them of medals, prizes, scholarships, wins, fairness, equal access, rights, and…in fact…a sense of belonging.

It’s a pack of lies and it’s deeply hostile to women. The ACLU has jumped off a cliff.

    There’s a hashtag used by trans-identified males, #girlslikeus. It’s popular with autogynephiles. Lots of simpering.

    And very few people belong in the White House, but unfortunately…

    Because otherwise you give the game away:

    Perhaps they should replace the photos for accuracy, Holms.

    Or maybe they should take a different tack, since they’re speaking of “girls,” and put pictures of actual children, not adults. Let’s see… who should be the ACLU’s new poster children… No, not Joseph Gobrick, despite what he thinks… not Randy Stair… why is it that these fellows always insist that they’re “girls” trapped in men’s bodies, not “women?”

    Word to the wise: don’t google “trans girls” in images. My eyes…

    Also don’t search “girl” on womenarehuman.com. Too depressing.

    Papito,

    “Trapped in the wrong body” rhetoric is sooooo last decade, and therefore transphobic. Their bodies aren’t men’s bodies, or even male bodies; their bodies *are* girls’ bodies, because they are girls, and so their bodies are bodies which belong to girls. Why are they girls?

    Because they say so. Obviously.

    Anything less than acquiescing this is transphobic violence.

    Jeez, they didn’t even try to pick images of actual trans-women. If they had, I’m pretty sure it wouldn’t have been, say, Jan Morris. Nope, it would be some porny eye-candy.

    Obviously the answering meme should frame Karen White and Jessica Yaniv.

    JtD, maybe the answering image should feature Veronica Ivy and Hannah Mouncey. Since they are in sports, and playing against women (though not girls). Or, in the interest of being “girls”, maybe Andrea Yearwood and Terry Miller.

    No one seeing these enormous male bodies would think they should play against women, unless they are so woke that they have conditioned themselves to believe there is no advantage to being larger, stronger, and faster by virtue of sexual dimorphism.

    I sincerely doubt that most of the woke actually accept the woke dogma. Listening to a podcast the other day, I heard a term I’d previously not encountered: pluralistic ignorance. Silly me, of course, there’s a term for this phenomenon!

    @Holms #3;

    The first tweet of Hannah Morency was spot on, but following it down it looks like you linked to an anti-gay, racist, anti-feminist, pro-Trump conservative Twitter.

    I hate that these morons have appropriated one reasonable issue — though their arguments get bad as soon as they start their justifications.
