#do better than contributing to the reason feminism becoming more stigmatised

[momentomori24]

In a single post, you have successfully integrated sexism (demonizing men to be precise), transphobia, stereotyping and a complete lack of basic human understanding despite the original post literally spelling everything out for you and decided "yep, this is fine." Like, my horrible summer child. You can just admit you're a terf in one sentence, it's alright.

But to actually counter all your claims-- yes, all of them-- it is very much dehumanising to call trans girls "biological males" in the same way simply calling women "females" is. Both completely strip the person down to their sex and nothing more. It's a term you use to describe anything, not just a human. There's a woman called Raven J. James on Medium that said it best so I will regurgitate her point: Let's say you said "I saw a female today". Well, a female WHAT? A female dog? A female duck? It's a word best used to described something, like "a female friendship" or "a female team". It's not a term you want to use to identify a person. That would be woman. The same goes for "male" as well. Don't call men "males" either. They're men. It's grammatically correct, but fundamentally wrong. Calling trans girls "biological males" is a different flavour of dehumanising. Not only are you stripping them down to their biological sex and using words to describe object and animals rather humans, but you also eradicate their gender identity in one quick swoop. Their dysphoria, their gender, all the things that make them them, discarded in your blatant attempt to widdle down their personhood as much as possible to paint them as a threat. These aren't "biological males", they're trans women. Someone's AGAB doesn't and should never determine their gender.

On to the next point that are all teenage boys are sexual predators, sex addicts and threats to their female peers. I don't think a lengthy explanation is really required for this one. You're just a man-hating loser. Not only does you argument imply that women themselves can't be predators, but it's a downright demonizing stereotype to be pushing on the opposite sex to begin with, let alone TEENAGE boys. Being a sexual offender has nothing to do with your sex. Whether you respect boundaries or not has nothing to do with your sex. Whether you feel entitled to someone's body or not has nothing to do with your sex. Nothing to do with your sex, sexuality or gender identity. It has everything to do with you as a person tho. It's rooted in character, be it nature or nurture. Just because someone is born a man doesn't mean they will inevitably grow up to be rapists, that's stupid and shame on you for thinking that. There is a discussion to be had on how boys are socialised and expected to act in ways that are problematic and actively harms girls and themselves, as well as how misogyny is still very prevalent because of it, but this isn't it. You don't get to call yourself a feminist if this is your opinion on men. Feminism isn't about women supremacy, it's about equality. It's about eradicating sexism. And if can't see men as equals, let alone normal human beings, no have no business claiming you're a part of it.

Also, straight boys are straight boys. Not trans girls. If your friend's school has no regulating process to make sure that doesn't happen, that's the SCHOOL'S fault. Trans girls should have the right to use the bathroom like every other human being, like ever other woman. Someone minding their own business shouldn't be lumped together with others that actually have malicious intent. By the way, I do love how you dismantled your own point with that logic. You just admitted that straight boys are the ones going into those bathrooms to be perverts. That just goes to show that they don't need to "disguise themselves as a girl" to enter. It's common sense, but I'll say it anyway: if a man wants to assault a women, he doesn't need to wear make-up or a dress to blend in to achieve that. He'd just waltz into the bathroom to do it. You think someone with the intend of sexually harassing a woman stop once he reaches the threshold of the bathroom and be like "Damnit she's hiding in the bathroom, what do I do now???? Oh no a 'women only' shield!! My only weakneeesssss!!! I'll get you next time, you!! And I will wear a dress to morally enter the wrong bathroom to assault you!" Like, huh? Do you hear yourself? First off, no one gets off to someone using the toilet, so don't flatter yourself, but that idea that a man would the extra effort just to sneak into the women's bathroom is just mind boggling. But even entertaining that thought, you said it yourself. A man walking into the bathroom to perv is a man, not a trans individual.

Very brief (or I'll try to be), but homosexuality and transgenderism, despite both falling under the queer umbrella, are two very different things. One is a sexuality and the other a gender identity. Someone being trans means that their gender identity doesn't match up with their AGAB. If someone is trans, it doesn't automatically mean they're gay. Straight trans people exist too. That's like saying all cis people are straight, which is also wrong. Trans girls' sexual orientation is completely independent from their gender (and none of your business). Even if they were into girls, what's the issue? Lesbians are women attracted to other women, yet we're not kicking them out, are we? There is no "heterosexual socialisation" unless you mean gay conversion therapy, but regardless a person's sexuality stays the same. Because of course it does. And the same goes for gender. Trans people are raised in very heteronormative homes or by homophobic/transphobic parents or no exposure to queerness in early life still come out as queer, so whatever you're referring to as "heterosexual male socialisation" is very ineffective. Also, screw briefness at this but, but if you truly believe that a man (or anyone at this point) having an attraction to women immediately makes him someone who would obviously prey on women, then re-evaluate. What in the world is wrong with you?

Last but not least-- no one here is losing their rights here. Trans girls, while not biologically, are girls. Same with intersex girls. Full stop. If you're a girl, you should be allowed to use the girls' bathroom. If you're a boy, you deserve to use the boy's bathroom. As long as nobody is creepily invested in what's in other people's pants, no one should be uncomfortable. You know whose rights are being violated here? That of everyone who isn't cis. You would rather they have to go to wrong bathroom and be berated and abused, where they feel unsafe and vulnerable, than allow them the right to just be themselves and do the things other people of their gender can do. "Just because GNC kids get bullied", sit on a cactus just for that statement alone. You would rather have kids be miserable, opened up to abuse and violence and contribute to the already high suicide rate of trans people in the world than stop segregating women and perpetuating the cycle of discrimination we should know first-hand.

So finally wrapping this whole trainwreck up, I want you to know you are a terrible person. Worse, you're a terrible person with a platform. And you not understanding that you are a terrible person with awful beliefs not only still makes you a terrible person, but so much more dangerous than you can imagine.
