I mean sure, possibly. But then my questions would be:

No I don’t mean you, I was using the phrase “like you do”, as in the sarcastic remark aimed at someone regarding an absurd or over the top action by them being incredibly defensive and likely revealing they are what they claim they aren’t.

whereas I’m not sure what someone who believes the bathroom rape conspiracies has to offer humanity, and I doubt very much they could ever be convinced.

No, the difference is that trans-inclusive feminism argues that while all experiences between all communities of women, whether it be transwomen, disabled women, women of colour, LB+ women etc, may not be the same and shared by all they still fundamentally as people do face persecution and discrimination by society in…

I would like to gently push back on the idea that the writer’s friend was necessarily all that progressive. Some “liberals” are people who are more enamored with an inner narrative where they are persecuted, brave truth-tellers who stand against the idiot mob, than they are of really walking the talk of progressive…

The issue there though, especially more in the US it seems, is that “The Left” is considered overlapped onto “Progressive” which isn’t the case. I’ve met too many people who are economically left-wing but in terms of social policy are severely lacking or rather conservative.

After having had several long conversations with the latter group in recent weeks it’s clear they’re just somewhat smarter and more manipulative than the former. They want to claim to argue from a base of respectability but still portray transwomen as rapists and transmen as victims of misogyny.

“Instead, point out how boring it is to think people should be punished if they don’t conform. How tedious it is to think that the contours of your own thought enclose all that is worth knowing. How embarrassing it is to be cruel.”

I think there are two categories of TERFs, or at least that’s been my experience with them. There’s the truly unhinged, who think men are actually transitioning so they can use public bathrooms and rape women. Those people are hopeless. Then there are the TERFs-Lite, for lack of a better term, who don’t deny trans…

The link to the Kotaku article is broken, yo!

Can someone tell him that trans women aren’t the ones with uteri? That’s trans men.

Yes this mostly sounds like looking for petty reasons to be annoyed. Maybe he has product placement deals with some of those things? Maybe his son asking who Rachel Bloom is and him not immediately remembering her isn’t a shitty thing to do. So you got him on making a macabre and probably classless joke for a dude…

I find pretty strange that they are only after Mexicans, not a single Russian, Indian, Chinese, Canadian, etc...

That’s true. Here’s an interesting New York Times article about it http://www.nytimes.com/2014/01/28/us/time-for-supreme-court-to-overrule-korematsu-verdict.html

A reminder that while Scalia does not like it, it has not been overturned.

But I’m so glad we didn’t elect a lady who doesn’t know how to email well.

NO I WON’T STOP SAYING IT.

Just a reminder...
