privileged as fuck: "Don't call me 'cis'" →
gcvsa:
Dear cisgender/cissexual sisters and brothers:
Somehow, there seems to have developed a pathos for using the scientific prefix “cis” in reference to people who are, by and large, not trans. The commonly used arguments for this generally fall into some category of claiming that “cis”…
Prevalence of social transition is up to 0.5%, that’s 1.55 million Americans, not 700,000.

Things that Cathy Brennan has in common with a...
Brennan: Believes that when a man has sex with a woman, that the woman is put in a degraded and powerless position. In order to prevent that from happening, women must only have sex with other women, because other women do not have the same power to put women in a degraded and powerless position as men do.
Toxic masculine male: Believes that when a man has sex with a woman, that the woman is put in a degraded and powerless position. Toxic masculine males insult women who have lots of sex with men, but they think lesbians are "hot", because other women do not have the same power to put women in a degraded and powerless position as men do.
Brennan: Makes fun of trans women for lacking masculine characteristics.

Brennan: Makes fun trans women for failing to meet ciscentric beauty standards.

Brennan: Hates trans women and considers them to be decievers, because they are really men, and if a man has sex with you, you are put in a degraded and powerless position, and that is threatening.

Brennan: Slut shames sex workers and considers herself superior because she wears a t-shirt and jeans to work instead of a revealing outfit.

This is like describing a rape when someone asks you what sex is like. This is not all porn, and no one who quotes Sheila Jeffreys has any right to even be in a conversation about women and sex work. Get the fuck...

You can trace most of the damning statistics about LGBT people, PoC, the disabled, cismisogyny, cismisandry (and the Arlington Cemetery worth of dead every 9 years of men at work produce in excess of womyn and ciswomen at work) etc, down to class. Money talks, and the amount of money your parents have, and the amount of money you have factor greatly into how limiting to your potential...

Babies are born of the women gender. Idk to how to say that. Um, they’re born girls? (I’m talking sex, not gender, so I’m trying to find the right words). And then they’re assigned a gender. Based on those bits. I personally believe in the abolition of gender cause it’s stupid,…

Cross-dressing is a choice.
Trying to “pass” as female is a choice.
You don’t have to cross-dress. You don’t have to try to “pass” as female.
Therefore, your bathroom problems are the consequences of a CHOICE that YOU made. Real women don’t have the luxury of passing/not passing as female. We ARE female. We MUST use the ladies room, the women’s dressing room, the women’s shower,...

I don’t believe that all transsexuals are secretly gay. For example, many “trans lesbians” are heterosexual males who are perverted autogynephiliacs. Furthermore, there are a great many lesbian and gay people who are being encouraged and pressured to transition. Not surprising…

OK then, but you HAVE to talk about trans* people being historically (and sometimes currently) required to say they’re het (and binary, but again the establishment just DGAF about non-binary people anyway) in order to pass the gatekeepers’ requirements and get access to the right medical treatment, and the idea that trans* is the super form of gay.

Let's be clear on how this works.
Me: Fuck pedophiles.
You: Well, if they're into 11-14 year olds, they're technically blahdyblahophiles, and if they're into 15-17 year olds, they're whothefuckcareophiles.
Me: *adds you to the blocklist*

Wow, you and Ray Blanchard.
Anyway, I'm back here in Canada, where we realize the age of consent probably starts before someone graduates high school (sometimes, we're still archaically stupid at other times), since the average age of sexual activity is 14-and-a-half, or are they just raping each other at that age?

Yet it’s trans people who try to dress/act/rename themselves just to fit in line with their usually patriarchy approved presentation of their “gender identity.” Just the same as many “cis” people usually already do.

We just call them Republicans:
They hate promiscuity, drug availability, anti-classism, and anti-racism, just like the first-wave. Their belief in women’s rights seem to extend to the right of ciswomen to vote, and believing that pretty much every bit of positive ephemera we staple to sex/gender is legitimate.

Some Thoughts on Bootstraps.
Best ticket to ‘pulling yourself up by your bootstraps’ is having parents with long bootstraps. The best predictor of an American’s wealth is their parents’ wealth, and when families haven’t lived long enough with aggressive enough income supports for the poor, the past legacy of explicit discrimination will continue perpetually. This is why we I prioritize a...

In Chess, most opening moves are worked out to the first 5-7 moves with the best case scenario for both sides usually being a standard 15 moves.

Note About Terrorism For Anyone Still Following Me
Sorry for that mass of replies. You can totally ignore them. The politically smart thing would have been to just shut up and let the discussion go on, but then it makes it that much easier to call things we don’t like and want to suppress terrorism, and it won’t be white cis grad students bearing the brunt of that one.
Terrorism is a specific thing, and the people of New Orleans 112...
