So, last night at philosophy club, we finally got into the trans/gender ideology debate. On one hand, i was excited because for the first time i said what i needed to say in a semi-public venue; it felt good to get a lot of it off my chest and let people know where i stand. On the other, i was left incredibly disheartened by the fact that in a group of 5 women and 1 man, the only one who backed me up was the man. One of the women did have things to say about transitioning children that I appreciated, but for the most part, the other women were glad to throw their fellow females under the bus to uphold this ideology.
my sister is a case manager and has trans clients, so i can extend some respect there, that it's literally her job to get resources for these people. i tried to make it clear that i don't wish harm on trans people and i do believe they are marginalized as well and are deserving of legal and physical protections; it's bizarre to have people who KNOW ME, my own sister and friends, assuming that i think any GNC people should be thrown out into the cold with nothing. it just shows how deep this shit the brainwashing runs, that they can't separate me as a person from ideology. but why, i ask over and over again, WHY must this be at the expense of women's safety? why is it ALWAYS at the expense of women?
i don't even want to say "natal women" or "biological women" anymore because all that does is reinforce their claims. i'm also not going to use to the term 'trans women' anymore but will stick with 'trans identifying males.'
one of the girls there ended with "well for my part i just want to say that i'm personally comfortable welcoming all different types of people into the bubble fo womanhood" ok that's great for you, but what about women who have suffered at the hands of males? women with trauma? little girls who aren't ready to see a naked male body? it really illuminated to me how complicit women are in their own oppression and i'm feeling really fucking down about it today. the hatred for women just runs so deep, i feel like i can't even wrap my mind around it.
if you believe male-bodied people belong in women's spaces you're just a fucking freak. i'm so done. you don't care about women. you ARE comfortable with women being SA'd and raped if you think TIMs belong in female spaces. i'm so done... i'm more done than i've ever been.
