Ok Joly, what *does* it mean?

This is a good one.

“what it means to oppose trans joy”

Now is that fair??? I’m not aware of opposing any “trans joy” – what I oppose is trans dogma, trans dogma-enforcement, trans bullying, trans catastrophizing, trans intrusion, trans war on women, trans misogyny.

I mean, suppose people break into your living space and destroy all your books, paint graffiti on your walls, eat everything in the fridge, piss on all your clothes. It’s not their vandal joy that you object to, it’s their vandalism. A subtle distinction perhaps, but real.

    Note that Joly wants “to apologize for how the ‘Monster’ campaign has been received by the trans community.” He doesn’t want to apologize to the people he compared to monsters. Women, gays, other gender atheists, he’s fine comparing them to monsters and doesn’t want to apologize to them.
