And you don't think transgender women have any baggage? You don't think what they experience can be what other women go through?And it seems you are suggesting that this be the case and that its a good thing? What is feminism without reproductive rights? What are reproductive rights mean in the context of feminism if a woman's body is suddenly being declared unreal or insignificant. What about a woman's experience? When Rose Mcgowan lost it on Chris Jenner when he said "the hardest thing about being a woman is figuring out what to wear" by saying
"You're a woman now? Well, f---ing learn that we have had a VERY different experience than your life of male privilege," McGowan said in a Facebook post she later deleted after facing accusations of transphobia. Being a woman comes with a lot of baggage. The weight of unequal history. You'd do well to learn it. You'd do well to wake up. Woman of the year? Not by a long f---ing shot."
You'd do well to remember that transgender men and women have also suffered the weight of "unequal history". And they are still enduring it, just as women, minorities and other members of the LGBT community are. I mean, look at you right now. You refer to Caitlyn Jenner as a "he", you can't even refer to her by her name. And you don't think you are a bigot? You continuously try to deny their very existence.
That's because it is hate speech.The woman who writes the article asks "Is it hate speech against a persecuted minority? Or a difficult but important conversation our increasingly gender-diverse community needs to have?", I say its a conversation that needs to be had, you seem to think its hate speech.
You deny their existence, you refuse to acknowledge them for who they are, you disparage them and dismiss them, you infer that they pose a risk to women and children, you compared them to people who were severely mentally ill. And you don't think it's hate speech? I'll be blunt, replace transgender with African American or Jew or Muslim or Asian in your post, and then tell me it's not hate speech.
Those two sentences that you posted did not come from the Guardian. They came from a blog that you did not link to.I'm not plagiarizing Bells I am giving you both quotes and links which come from the guardian.
You have been peppering quotes from these sites into your posts without referencing them. It's called plagiarism. Please stop doing it.
It would help if you stopped relying on right wing religious websites and bigoted blogs for your information.I agree and that's my point, the man was not a transgender woman but the law doesn't say he must be, it just says he has to identify as such. And yes there were laws against men going into a woman's bathroom and that law has been weakened by these cases. Men don't have to do a thing to gain access, that's the law. Like I said trans women and trans men have been using the bathroom forever and didn't need a law, all this law does is encourage predatory behavior.
Transgender specific laws do not protect or offer protection for men who are posing as women to enter bathrooms and shelters, Lucysnow. Understand yet? Those laws exist to protect transgender men and women. Do you understand that part yet?
What am I asking, you can't even bring yourself to admit or say that a transgender woman is a "she"...
