Bad apples
Bad analogy Peter! Really really really bad analogy!
Just because a very tiny minority of Muslims are terrorists, we don’t place restrictions on the whole Muslim population. And likewise with the trans community, just because there may be a few bad apples, in fact some horrendous bad apples, we don’t therefore penalize the whole trans community, most of whom deport themselves with responsibility and respect for women.
One, it’s not penalizing anyone to have spaces for women, any more than it’s penalizing anyone to have personal spaces. I get to close my door, and I’m not penalizing anyone by not leaving it open just in case any passers-by want to come in and see what’s in the fridge.
I’m a little confused. Was that last sentence supposed to say you’re not penalizing anyone by not leaving it open?
Peter has bought into the whole “transphobia” myth. Defending women’s and girl’s rights is not penalizing anyone but it’s not just the bad apples, it’s the whole trans cult, and those who are too cowardly to stand up to them who are continually letting this happen. Watch out for the hidden assumptions.
Yes! Thank you; fixed.
Exactly. He’s taking TiM access to women’s spaces as a given, that they’re being denied something that is rightfully theirs. Wow.
But… WE DO. There are limits on the amount of bomb-building supplies you can buy without triggering an investigation, limits on gun purchases (depending on country), etc.
Oh you mean restrictions unique to Muslims? No, thank you; I’d prefer we avoid objectively racist policies. The so-called restrictions on the activities of trans-identifying people aren’t unique to them, though; they are restrictions placed on the entire population. Psst… your narcissism is showing; you aren’t above the rest of us and don’t qualify for whatever super-special individualized “rights” you want to ask for.
Just because a very tiny minority of males are rapists, we don’t place restrictions on the whole male population. Except oops, yes we do. And the restrictions apply to trans women as well, due to them being male.
I really have no interest in the opinions of a guy who wrote approvingly of adults exploiting children for sex, even if he later refuted his own comments after weathering a storm of condemnation for it.
Apparently facial expressions of people listening to Peter Tatchell is now a thing. There are a few being circulated of people looking either horrified or mystified or both at what he’s saying.
