I see polite white people as an abused people who demand a degree of decorum because that is what they were raised as and being confrontational was asking for a beating for you and your brothers and sisters. When they see people of color standing up for themselves and being confrontational they get scared because they…

I don’t have any Trump Tweets, but I have some Trump quotes:

Take a break from the news. Take care of yourself.

Oh heck no. I was going on what Dave Chapelle was saying. That the issue is getting more attention now because white people care about it. I’m not agreeing with Dave’s interpretation, only that for the most part white people don’t really care how non-white people feel on the inside.

His jokes suck, but this line...

It’s so easy to be ignorant and dismissive, but it just makes you look like an asshole. Stick to things you understand, cupcake.

Dr, please realize that there are some of us XY’s who are your allies and have you backs. I wish it were more, but......I got nothing

We are all helpmeat until we are expired and then we are discarded. That pretty much sums them up.

Unfortunately that has very real fucking consequences for those of us who are 51% of the population. And the percentage of us who are women of color, trans women, etc., have even more to fucking worry about.

But it doesn’t happen in higher proportions to trans people. Show me evidence of that. This is something that is repeated all the time without proof. Women are murdered by their partners, by their exes, raped by men, assaulted by men, literally every single day. If you look at violence against trans people (especially…

We aren’t talking about individuals. We are talking about power structures. I’m so sick of this lack of understanding of power and oppression. Cis women could unite in a giant solidarity front and oppose trans people and it would not change the fact that men are the powerful people in this country and that they…

The problem with this is the idea that cis women are privileged. This is what bothers me the most about this debate. Cis women are being persecuted right now all around the country regarding the closing of health clinics, the denial of reproductive freedom and insurance coverage of BC, the huge recent rise in domestic…

But see, gender identity is overwhelmingly defined by sexual politics including reproduction and biology. This has been imposed on the vast majority of us, and trying to change language so that it does not reflect this reality does feel like erasure. At the same time, I think trans people are a vulnerable minority…

Yes but when it comes at the cost of telling people they must now say only “pregnant people” or eliminate the concept of women’s health or deny the reality that the vast majority of women are cis and are discriminated against based on a biology that they did not choose, then it gets tricky. I agree with what you are…

Plus, you know, gender oppression is rooted in sex differences. It doesn’t make any sense to talk about the former without a reference to the latter.

I think my question boiled down to whether this specific language that MANA suggested is the best way to be inclusive. I didn’t question “whether trans folks deserve inclusivity,” but, as you said- here, on this article, is the specific language MANA suggested the best way to be inclusive on this particular topic?

You don’t get it and perhaps you never will. You conflate sex with gender as if it doesn’t matter.

I am beginning to feel uncomfortable with what seems like an attempt to erase women, or biologically female humans, from things that only biologically female humans do. Biologically female humans have the babies, and we can’t pretend like there is no such thing as a female human or a male human—even if people who are…
