The use of opaque statements like “Trans people are just trying to LIVE our Lives” is a prime example of the motte and bailey fallacy.
“The motte-and-bailey fallacy (named after the motte-and-bailey castle) is a form of argument and an informal fallacy where an arguer conflates two positions that share similarities, one modest and easy to defend (the “motte”) and one much more controversial and harder to defend (the “bailey”).[1] The arguer advances the controversial position, but when challenged, they insist that they are only advancing the more modest position.[2][3] Upon retreating to the motte, the arguer can claim that the bailey has not been refuted (because the critic refused to attack the motte)[1] or that the critic is unreasonable (by equating an attack on the bailey with an attack on the motte).”
Mostly everyone in western democratic societies are free to reasonably live their lives – within the confines of what is currently acceptable in society. In this case, currently transpeople have *every* right afforded to other people that inhabit Canadian and American society. What transactivists and other parts of the activist Left don’t say is that they wish to radically alter society’s rules around *their* vision of the future (which,in my opinion, is mostly utopian dogshit).
So this is how this one works. If you call Activist Leftists out on their unreasonable claims such as biological sex isn’t real( The bailey) then they will retreat to the motte and say “Well you just don’t want trans people to live their lives” (the motte).
The solution is to not even grant them the motte. People in free societies CAN live their lives mostly as they see fit – with the proviso their ‘lifestyle’ doesn’t negatively impact others.
The denial of biological sex has significant detrimental impacts on female rights, boundaries, and safety in our society – most to the point the ‘inclusion’ of male rapists (because they fucking feel like women) in female prisons in Canada.
Always bomb their innocuous motte and raze their radical bailey.
The coercive tactics and social shaming that the transgender ideology almost always deploys is coming back to haunt them. People in a democratic society have the right to say “No” to an ideology that fundamentally misogynistic and corrosive for society.
“Not all sex offenders are incarcerated. Given how hard it is to obtain convictions for sexual offenses, consider the likelihood that the total number of male sex offenders may be larger than the total number of males who “identify as women.” If a man invades a female change room, the women and girls inside are likely to have a stress response because their subconscious minds already know this person is approximately 100 times more likely to be a sex offender than any woman in the space and also more likely to be a sexual predator than a man who uses the proper facilities. It does not matter if the trespasser had surgery or takes hormones.
No male should ever be tolerated in a “single-sex” space for females. It’s right there in the name. The minute a person born male enters a female space it is magically transformed into a “mixed-sex” space and is no longer fit for purpose. There is such a thing as too much tolerance and sex is where we must draw the line in order to avoid an easy to predict increase in sexual offenses against women and girls. This is borne out in another UK chart on unisex toilets.
The helpful charts above could not be reproduced with data from Canada because all the male sex offenders pretending to be women would be counted as women by law enforcement. The decision made by Stats Canada in 2019 to track crime by whatever gender a perpetrator claims to be is already causing harm. Not only will it lead to the false claim that “more women are being jailed as sex offenders” it also hides the crimes that male sex offenders are committing in women’s prisons against vulnerable female inmates who cannot “identify” their way to safety. How can we solve this problem when the government is using flawed statistics to cover up what is really going on? Sound statistics are crucial as the foundation for public policy.”
This is a critical thinking exercise. It exists to help people understand why they say and support the things they say and support. It fails utterly for the activist students who take up the camp on the ‘strongly agree’ side.
What is most telling is when Dr. Boghossian asks them what evidence or what information would make them change their mind to move one step toward being neutral on the topic. Neither of the women say their are any arguments or information that would persuade them. And that folks, is the sole domain of the ‘true believer’ and/or ideologue – a blessed state where no fact, no amount of reason or evidence will change your mind.
It is a dangerous position to hold for the individual and society. Do not miss the irony of the true believers calling other ‘bigoted’, it is truly something to behold.
Watch the video, grit your teeth if you have to, but know that much of the activist Left simply do not have arguments they can defend in a conversation. What they do have is social shaming and name calling, and let me assure you, they have that in abundance. Do not give into their coercion, not standing up for yourself reflects poorly on you, not them. Do not let their lies come through you at the very least.
Hey folks, I’m just here watching the NDP continue to betray women and their hard fought for rights in society. Janis Irwin, of course is at the forefront of deciding that we should be including men in female sports, spaces, and services? Why? Because these men have special gender feelings that tell them that are women.
Read judiciously. Take some time and see what is being said in the message.
So do you see the absolute TRANSPHOBIC HATRED there. The notion that biological sex is real and that it is important in sports (and to be frank, every-fucking-where else) to maintain fairness and safety.
Make careful notes here folks as this is the exact bullshit routine every faux-progressive shitter performs when faced with any sort of criticism or inquiry about their position. There are no counterpoints, there are no rebuttals, and no arguments just wild baseless accusations. This just happens to be an member of the legislative assembly here in Alberta and sadly the fact free hyperbole is par for the course.
It’s a farcical disgrace.
More to the point there is a person with political power that uses this sort of hyperbolic rhetoric to advance a platform and ideology that actively harms women and their rights in society.
Scary stuff. It is unsurprising that the Alberta NDP is losing female support as they support the erosion of female rights and safety in society.
Talk to your political representatives and find out if they support this attack on female boundaries in society and be wary if they cannot define what a woman is.
Perverted men do perverted things. And just because they happen to mutter the gender-magic phrase “I identify as woman” does not change the fact that they remain men. Not ever. Male pattern violence and criminality persist regardless of any sort of gender identity declaration.
Marina Volz, born Matthew, was arrested in 2019 after the New Jersey Department of Child Protection became aware he was creating pornography in a home where a child resided.
The girl’s mother lived in Oregon while the abuses were taking place. Volz and Ashley Romero, another trans-identified male, had taken the girl from her mother and transported her to New Jersey for the purposes of forcing her into the child sexual exploitation material industry.”
Matthew and three other perverts then proceeded to repeatedly molest the seven year old child, and of course, film it.
Female concerns over their boundaries and the safeguarding of children have long been overlooked in the bull headed drive for ‘trans acceptance’. If the price of ‘trans acceptance’ is the deterioration of female boundaries and safeguarding practices then ‘trans acceptance’ can go straight to hell – do not pass go, do not even think of fucking collecting two-hundred dollars.
“The child is currently living with relatives, and Volz has surrendered all parental rights.
During the trial, prosecutors told the Judge the little girl had been subjected to “a vortex of darkness” after being removed from her real mother’s care.
While avoiding providing full details of the extent of the little girl’s ordeal, Judge Peter Tober noted she had been subjected to torture-like conditions, mentioning neck collars, a cage in the basement, and sex toys.”
This is what the breaking down of boundaries leads to – the rampant exploitation of children and women for the benefit of ‘gender-queer’ men. It ain’t right, and will never be right with me or anyone else who values female safety and boundaries in society.
This last little bit is the shit-icing on the turd-cake.
“In media coverage of the horrific case, Volz and Romero were referred to as ‘women’ and addressed by ‘she/her’ pronouns. Volz was also identified as the girl’s “mother” in one local news report.”
The media – you know the people who are supposed to report the facts to us – decided to call these deviant abusive males “she”.
Piss right off woke media. Piss-off forever. Its this situation *right here* that women and feminists have been sounding the alarm bells over. If we cannot accurately describe the bullshit that is happening, how is anyone going to be able to fix it? Without knowing about the transgender magical-bullshite listening to a newscast one might be properly horrified that a woman (adult human female) could sexually abuse their daughter and fucking record the abuse to make money selling the video of said abuse to other pedophiles on the internet.
Women, generally , don’t do this shit to their children. Men do.
We, the public, should know the truth about the dark situations like those mentioned above without the rank obfuscation of gender ideology getting in the way of facts.
