What are the arguments against supporting female sex-based rights that do not involve insults, shaming, and hyperbolic claims? How are any of these points unreasonable?
I think that most would agree with all of the below, yet expressing this opinion (one rooted in biological fact and material reality) in public can be dangerous for people because of the militancy and pernicious nature of transactivists. I have yet to have a discussion in which I can make an argument against because there is an almost absolute vacuum of anything that resembles a debatable position.
A couple examples of common assertions made in gender debates:
Assertion #1 – Trans women are part of highly discriminated against cohort… they face violence in society.
Retort – Adult human females are abused and killed on a scale world wide. Efforts to change that have been ongoing and at a glacial pace, since forever. The violence gender non-conforming males experience can be directly traced back to the epidemic of male violence in society. Why not get men to stop with the violent enforcement of patriarchal norms rather than subsuming hard fought for female sex based rights?
Assertion #2 – Trans women are women.
Retort – There is no evidence that human beings can change sex, nor is anyone ‘born in the wrong body’. Therefore, transwomen will always be male; and this is the only logical conclusion one can draw if facts are important to your reasoning.
Calling the defence of female rights, boundaries, and safety ‘bigoted’ has no reasonable basis in a fact based discussion.
Nice to see a Hillary Clinton speaking up and addressing the fact that transgender ideology needs to be examined and debated in regards to how it affects women.
“To repeat, Hillary Clinton – that’s Hillary ‘basket of deplorables’ Clinton – has quite carefully and deliberately said that women have ‘legitimate’ concerns about transgender issues and those concerns should be recognized.
There are those, in the UK and US, who refuse to accept that questions and critical thinking about this issue are legitimate, and who refuse to acknowledge that those concerns are felt across the political spectrum. Even though the organized campaigns to raise those issues, especially A Woman’s Place UK, are mainly driven by women on the traditional left of the Labour party, there are trans rights activists and progressive campaigners who persist in claiming that this is all a confection of the wicked right.
Perhaps, just perhaps, the fact that Hillary Clinton is among those who say there are indeed legitimate questions here will quieten those claims, and maybe even prompt more people to start listening.
Or perhaps Clinton will simply be treated like all those other women who have dared to question transgender orthodoxy and find herself consigned to the ‘wrong side of history’ with the other witches and heretics.”
Time to examine trans ideology and what it means in society, the sooner the better.
On things we need to get codified into law ASAP.
