A horrible thing to do
Yet another one. I may find myself doing these for years to come – there’s so much of it.
[High squeaky contemptuous voice]: You suggest everyone thinks like that.
No, not everyone, because we know there are fools like you, but certainly most people, you absolute monster of a smug censorious heartless last person who should be working for a rape crisis center goon. Everyone did “think like that” until about ten years ago, and now a small but intolerable minority of people have allowed themselves to become confused about it.
Even worse, in a way, is the “we are transinclusive service and that is what we do.” Well that’s not supposed to be what you do. You’re supposed to be a service for victims of rape. Being “transinclusive” has nothing to do with that.
Is this happening everywhere? Bakeries? Public transportation? Plumbing? They’ve all stopped baking or driving buses or installing new toilets and are instead busy being transinclusive?
Let them speak. Let them testify. Let them condemn their own beliefs in their own words. I think they really have no concept how ludicrous they sound outside of the confines of the sheltered, rarified, hothouse trans echo chamber.
Naomi Cunningham has true grit, that I know.
It’s been said before, but this placing trans inclusion ahead of the organization’s core purpose is a perfect illustration of the totalism in Genderism (and in “social justice” more broadly). Any effort, any resource that is not directed toward whatever is deemed “the most marginalized” is effort or a resource that maintains the status quo and thus supports oppression. Therefore all activity must be oriented to prioritize people according to their marginalization.
And if that sounds like inverting the scales of oppression, well, I didn’t say it. You just thought it. (Correctly.)
Deliciously put. One of the things I come here for is the writing.
I have no issue with any rape crisis center being “trans inclusive”, i.e., providing services to trans identified people, men or women, who have been victims of sexual assault. That does not require permitting trans identified men to counsel or participate in group programs meant for women.
