RE: The trans lobby jumped the shark with sex-denialism

Except that “living as the opposite” always meant men imposing themselves on women, whatever terminology they used. There’s no point in “living as a woman” for a man if he only does it in private. It’s all about making people accept his version of events.

And you can’t validate your lesbian fetish without a lesbian there to help. I’m sure the anime girl body pillows just don’t cut it for these AGP’s.

Absolutely.

There are no acceptable levels for this shit, no class of poor sweet HSTS who miraculously passed and were so meek and mild no woman ever clocked them. The concept of transsexual or transgender is rooted in misogyny whatever their reasons and it’s always a public display.

I'm not optimistic about how this will all play out. Either way it goes I think women's freedoms will be diminished: if trans ideology prevails, then women who don't want to share bathroom or spa with a man or if a women doesn't want to say TWAW, she will be told to stay home. If trans ideology is shut down, it will likely be because of conservative backlash to return society to regressive gender roles. If anything, feminism will be BLAMED for confusing young people about what's for girls and what's for boys. The right wing will say this all started because women wanted to cut their hair short and wear pants. Then there will be a right wing campaign to put women back in their place.

I agree. It was the sex denialism that drove me to become GC. Now I see potentially a more sinister agenda behind the a-gender; robbing women of their rights by allowing any man to declare himself a woman. However, I am wary of turning into a conspiracy theorist. I think there are a lot of chancers hitching their wagon to this horse. The real losers are women, children, and also the transpeople who really do just want to pee and get on with their lives.

I am also deeply, deeply alarmed by the skyrocketing numbers of trans children. It's beyond me how anyone can fail to see this as a symptom of something profoundly wrong with our society.
