The trouble with this logic is that EVERY change breaks someone’s workflow, so treating that fact as an obstacle inevitably leads to stagnation

“Sex-based discrimination laws will offer no protection if trans women are treated as women” lol what? Are these grown adults seriously imagining that trans women get some sort of career E-Z Pass when they come out? That bosses will only hire or promote trans women and exclude cis ones, out of some sort of...unspoken…
Damn, was gonna finally give them game a shot. Was never big on building in any game unless its an RTS. But I know keeping streamers happy is their number 1 priority. I was checking out the update on their Reddit because I was interested and it seemed like most of the fans there were okay with the change.
“Yes, I understand you want the same basic civil rights as cis people, but have you considered we may have to slightly change the way sports work? Have you?!”
I’m not sure that I would go that far-keep in mind that a lot of TERFs are also lesbians, and that many believe in “political lesbianism”, i.e. being a lesbian as a way to keep men out of their life.

They hate the fact that they are women because of the influence of the patriarchy and they can’t believe anyone would willingly choose to be a woman. Even though they might consider themselves feminist they’ve still absorbed the…
Are TERFs the dumbest group of people on the planet?
The sports argument gets me every time. Because it is always delivered with infuriating smugness by transphobes. It’s the equivalent of the “someone who is pro-choice has clearly never held a baby. Hur hur.” knuckledragging sentiment. It’s also a huge pain in the ass because the response is not a simple soundbite, but…
Yeah that’s the crazy part about all of this... if the SCOTUS rules against her, it essentially allows cis women to be fired for being “insufficiently feminine”, i.e. butch. So the radfems who claim to be so critical of gender and constantly whine that trans people are “reifying gender” would effectively be…
This shit gives me heartburn. The case law is exceedingly clear. The precedent for gender stereotyping = sex discrimination is miles thick and decades old - Price Waterhouse was decided 30 years ago. Discrimination against trans workers for being trans falls *exactly* under what Price Waterhouse says is unlawful sex…
