Why are men not exhorted to let trans identifying men use their toilets in their dresses and wigs? Why are men not exhorted to be kind, accepting?

Because a dress doth not a woman make.

Because using the men's room doesn't allow men in dresses to force women to affirm them.

Surely getting men to affirm them should be equally important, I'm not saying I believe this will ever happen....I'm asking as a thought experiment.

They aren't trying to take mens spaces. Unless they are trying to fool hetrosexual men into having sex with them, men can just ignore them.

Women changing in the locker room or forced to room with them in jail or a shelter can't ignore them

Looking at the teeny tiny profile pic of the writer of the linked piece, it was immediately obvious to me that "Rebecca" is a man. Which his bio confirmed.

Man, woman or child, Rebecca cuts her own bangs. No further information is needed.

By looking at your other posts, Reese, I was able to deduce that this is sarcasm.

But if all I had to go on was this comment, I would conclude that you are a transqueer ideologue.

Maybe you think this comment is so outrageous that no one could possibly take it seriously. But it is exactly the sort of thing that transqueer ideologes say all the time.

I had to think for several minutes, in fact I had to type much of a "what do you mean?" reply but now I'm pretty sure I understand. I AM SERIOUS in that once I see that particular tonsorial alert, I discount EVERYTHING else that exits that person's 🥧 🕳.

"Tonsorial alert" is the best thing I've heard today.

"Rebecca" is a software engineer, so probably marshalled a platoon of bots to like article ^_^

KittyD's avatar

Haha! My thought was that he bought the likes from a botfarm. Your explanation is more likely - anyone who cuts their own bangs is probably too cheap to pay for likes when he could write the code himself.

I hope to see pieces from you when I launch my media company

Thank you very much! I hope to not give up before that point. :D

Sis I loved this piece. I'm crying a little inside thinking about the countless women who are begging to have a female toilet, having to go to the bathroom out in the field, many times being targeted by male rapists in these scenarios.

MadFem ♀️'s avatar

It's painful, isn't it? And it seems that most women aren't even aware of that issue. Then they're more than willing to give up our safe spaces to men.

And thank you, again. I hate the idea that I almost scared you off because I really value your insight (and art)!

female.liberation's avatar

I was one of those women who couldn't see the conflicts clearly which gives me hope many more will see the problems eventually.

Don't you worry with the shit I've seen you couldn't scare me off 🤣. I value and respect you and your work sis 🙏.

Exactly this! All the hundreds of stress-related, trauma-related things that women have to think about, that women have to anticipate, that women have to endure.

These distressing situations, these daily battles, these endless fears - wouldn’t even occur to men.

Because there is no real solidarity with women.
