Sauce for goose not sauce for gander
Really?
But…he never objected to “trans women” searching women did he? Wasn’t that his whole point? Yes, it was. So why is he so horrified that men will be searched by male officers? If it’s ok for women how can it be so terrible for men? Why are people who support that “disgusting human beings” while people who support trans women searching women are the very best enlightened compassionate human beings?
Can anyone explain?
You know, I used to think that the idea that some men don’t actually think of women as people was just hyperbole.
Beats me. One of those mysteries of life, I s’pose.
It totally makes sense if you assume that trans women are magically women. Theres no need to explain.
If trans women were actually women the recent court ruling would be disgusting, but they aren’t so it isn’t.
However I think this post misses the mark. In this context you cant meaningfully turn his logic against him, because his logic isn’t at fault; it’s his false premises that are the probleem.
Once again the same people who insisted on a strong distinction between sex and gender in the first place are the most eager to conflate the categories they imposed on the rest of us, and we shouldn’t let them get away with it. According to their own logic being a “woman” (in Genderspeak) means thinking, feeling etc. in ways best left unspecified. So this might be a good time to actually specify them: Precisely how does a person have to think or feel etc. to qualify as a “woman”? Circular definitions don’t count.
If it means – as we have to assume it does – thinking or feeling etc. in the same ways as, say, “Lia” Thomas, “Veronica” Ivy, “India” Willoughby, “Sophie” Molly, or Eddie Izzard, I’d say pretty much every biological female I have ever met is off the hook, and hence disqualified from searching, or being searched by, such “women”. On the other hand Willett shouldn’t have any problem with trans “women” being searched by any hulking, bearded, person with a y-chromosome, testicles and a penis, as long as “she” has the right fetishes and the right entitled attitudes (which seems to be the defining feature of “womanhood” according to gender ideology anyway). Once again, if trans women are women, they’re the only “women”, and by the TRA’s own logic there is no justification for saying they belong in the same toilets, showers, changing rooms, sporting events, jails, rape or domestic abuse shelters etc. as biological females.
It’s the same damn sauce for the gander story it’s always been.
Dudes in skirts say don’t let those men touch me, they might hurt me? That is exactly why women don’t want you around them.
The insistence, never-stopping bloody-minded perseveration on this point of these particular guys having some right to be included among the ladies is what gives up the game: it’s a fetish. They are not just arguing a theory, they’re pursuing a compulsion. And that does not make it any better for the ladies they insist be subjected to them, it makes it worse.
