It went from "we just want people to call us by the names we give ourselves" to "we DEMAND access to all women's spaces, require everyone to give us everything we want, demand that everyone pretend we're women and not men and child surgeries for everyone!". Had you left it to the "we just want respect" it would have been fine but, as usual, give your side an inch and then they want to take over the world. Can you ever have a response without immediately saying "Your side" and the like? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hell I told people there that Trump was going to win and dared to say that the "record number of new voters" could just as easily be people signing up to support Trump and there were ready to burn me at the stake.

I've been meaning to respond to this, as you repeatedly ask the above, but I hadn't gotten around to it. When I tried searching for statistics of violent crimes BY transgenders, all of the results were for violent crimes AGAINST transgenders. Odd. I tried both Google and DuckDuckGo. You would think that such algorithms would be sophisticated enough to understand my search. Regardless, I'm left to conclude that either such data doesn't exist, or they don't want me to see it. More importantly though, there is a danger in relying on past results to predict future results, particularly when the systems generating those results have undergone significant change. I point this out frequently to @The Real timschochet whenever he quotes statistics about the economic benefits of immigration. In the case of trans women, until recently we have had much fewer trans people, and those generally had to go through years of therapy, much of the latter end I presume in learning how to coexist in society. But now we have a social contagion (please don't argue we don't, you are too smart for that) and a large industry built around "gender affirmation." Think about that -- "affirmation" implies that we accept your belief as the default. Much has been documented about the comorbidities that trans folks have with other mental health issues; if you want me to search for some links I can. Somebody posted that link about the trans woman wanting to bang Mace's face into the cement until she dies. You can say that's a one-off, but such folks are out there. Also, this recent surge in trans acceptance (if not celebration) has begun to enable a class of sh1tty men who are predators but not trans to get into women's safe spaces. All of this is to say that you cannot look at statistics from the past in this instance. I'll end with a discussion I had with my wife yesterday on this topic. She is a taekwondo black belt so better trained than most to defend herself, but not large, 5' 1". I told her about this thread and she pointed out that women wear some weird stuff in the interest of fashion, and if you have a romper on, you are basically sitting in the stall nekkid. She didn't like the idea of a large man in the room, or the stall next door, while feeling so vulnerable. I like to think of myself as empathetic, but I don't think any guy can truly empathize with women on this topic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I like to think of myself as empathetic, but I don't think any guy can truly empathize with women on this topic. Here is my larger point- we live in a society that is all about demonization of anyone who is not like them or does not think like them. The left is guilty of it. The right is guilty of it. In this case there is a demonization of transgender people that in some respects I can buy into. Like for example- a transgender woman probably should not be allowed to compete in a woman's sport but until someone does something about it they can. But the bathroom thing seems like just demonizing people and trying to couch it in a real issue. Like yes I don't want a man in the woman's room but there isn't an epidemic of men hiding in women's bathrooms to assault women. There also isn't an epidemic of transgender women attacking women in a bathroom, or locker room, or changing room. So- it's fine to think "Hey can we stop this one thing" but far too often for people- including many here- it leads to people wanting to just cast the whole lot of transgender people out, and I'm not for that really either. The world is more complex than either/or scenarios and I resist turning things into tha.t Now before any of the people here who are not interested in having a serious conversation (not you- you probably know who I mean) come running it- I understand it all and I understand why it works to conduct it this way. I have two daughters. They are of the age where you can't take them into a men's room anymore to use the restroom if you are out somewhere with them. If I am by myself with them I will let my oldest use the women's room and will have her take my youngest in with her if I have them both. And we've talked about what to do if anyone is in there that makes you uncomfortable- man or woman. I've gone over how to punch someone in the windpipe, take fingernails right to their eyes to scratch, and to use the point of the shoe to drive it right into their genital area. Worst case scenario I've instructed them to yell and I'll come busting in regardless of what the room is to handle some bidness. But I'd be lying if I said I didn't have a pang of worry when they walk in by themselves. But I also don't necessarily live in fear of it happening anymore than I worry about anything my kids do in any other moment of their lives and I certainly don't give it as much headspace as people here do.

First, good for you on the self defense stuff. If a stranger picks up a kid and carries them out, and the kid just wiggles and cries, bystanders will presume it is a disciplinary situation. Gouging eyes and kicking balls though, that's not normal and gets attention. I would add to teach them to scream "you're not my father/mother!" as well. We used to work on this with kids in our martial arts classes (it helped that we had helmets with face masks, and cups). Anyway, I would propose that we are both concerned with different slippery slopes. Yours is that people use the bathroom issue as an anti-trans issue. That's fair. Mine is that letting them in bathrooms, if not in and of itself dangerous, is a step in the Saul Alinsky playbook of letting them into locker rooms, prisons, and women's sports. Sometimes the thing is just the thing, though. On the locker rooms and prisons, to me that is an easy hard stop. Similar for women's sports, definitely contact sports, but any where a biological male would have a competitive advantage. You legislate to the norm -- if there is some obscure case like the boxer who was identified as female at birth, you address that as a one-off. The bathrooms to me are a little harder; I'd default to "no" because of young girls in particular, but like I said, I don't know that any guy can truly empathize with the concerns women have in the presence of large men. I'd just as well let women duke that one out and decide. In the end, IMO it's unfortunate that opposition to biological men in women's locker rooms, say, is argued by both sides as whether or not the person is truly a woman. I think that distracts from the real concerns. I would prefer that my "side" take more of an approach of "we understand that you identify as a woman, but for the good of society, we can't let you into these spaces. Here is why." There are clear reasons, many of which I've mentioned already. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And it's not just trannies; once you open the door to trannies in women's spaces, you open the door for every pervert out there. Trannies of all variations can use the men's room and leave the women alone. Problem solved. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trannies of all variations can use the men's room and leave the women alone. Problem solved. Bingo. There is no more discussion on this. We are not budging on the tranny issue or any of the other issues of perverts and freaks the Democrats have sided with. The mentally ill need help, not catering to their every whim. We don't do this with ANY other mentally ill group of people. What makes trannies so special? </endOfThread> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A major concern of opening women's spaces (including restrooms) up to trans folks is that it opens them up to abusers of all orientation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Women fought rather hard for their rights in the past, to have mentally ill men now attempt to undermine their rights is something I would hope we could all get behind.

However, you can blame the feminists for this. They and their supporters were on the forefront of this issue so, ultimately, women only have themselves to blame.
