Two for the price of one

Trans women are twice as oppressed as women.

Twice as targeted, so obviously they get to shove women aside and take up all the oxygen.

    You can’t be oppressed *as* a woman if you’re oppressed by people not thinking you are one; it’s an impossibility.

    BK,

    Don’t forget that “transphobia” can mean literally anything anyone* wants it to.

    * Only the right kind of anyone, of course. And on the right day. So what if Pink News has gone back to calling women who don’t write “womxn” transphobic, days after saying “womxn” was a TERF plot used by TERFs for the purpose of TERFing. With intent. To TERF. Shut up.

    AcademicsAnonymous is making the same point I did in our earlier Ash Sarkar thread… without even so much as a h/t!

    Well now you might think that you can’t be oppressed *as* a woman if you’re oppressed by people not thinking you are one, but that’s just that cis-colonialist reasoning that we reject in favor of enlightened trans-logical reasoning.

    Transgender women are targeted because of their gender, just like cisgender women are, and *also* because of transphobia.

    Oh, but women (not “ciswomen,”dear) are targeted because of their gender and *also* because of their sex. So looks like we’re at the very least tied in the oppression Olympics.

    Not at all; it loops around to tjoin at he other end with a twist, like a Moebius strip. Instant infinite oppression.

    Yes, that’s the idea! I’ve come across so many examples of this sort of thing that, frighteningly, this almost makes sense.

    Sex? PHHT. Women didn’t even pass the qualifying round in the Scottish Hate Crime bill. Probably aren’t even eligible to compete in the oppression Paralympics.

    Instant infinite oppression.

    I first read this as instant infantile oppression…seems appropriate, somehow, when talking about trans oppression.
