i dont agree with the "everyone whos bigoted towards sexual minorities is secretly a closet case" argument bc its harmful and wrong. that said, some of these fuckers absolutely have some psychopathological gender shit going on and the misery from suppressing it will haunt them to their deaths - ThreadSky | a Reddit-style client for Bluesky

I can't say I will shed a tear for them. These f*ckers, of all people, deserve to suffer.

Having said that, I'd also have to care what they said or thought & I don't.

Those women celebrating this Supreme Court ruling as a win are in for quite the shock.

It's a bad decision, legally and just...

...generally for all women.

They're attacking trans people now (Westminster, the courts & the media), but its already started - the self-proclaimed toilet police accosting & removing "women" as defined by the court.

I also think that people in the UK, at large, don't understand the legal...

...ramifications of this decision.

This case was funded by JK Rowling. However, the organisation that had Roe overturned in the US was also involved.

Anyone who thinks they'll stop here is deluded.

In England, Scotland, and Wales, while abortion is legal under certain conditions outlined in the Abortion Act 1967, it's not explicitly legal in the sense that it's not a universally available procedure on demand.

silentsounds.bsky.social•66 days ago

It's only legal when specific criteria, related to the pregnant person's health or potential fetal abnormalities, are met and approved by two medical practitioners. Additionally, the NHS provides abortion services, but the availability and types of services may vary.

Abortion Act 1967:
This act allows for abortion in specific circumstances, primarily focusing on the health of the pregnant person and potential fetal abnormalities.

there is 100% a closeted trans person out there who is a turbo transphobe because they didn't get to transition themselves but are now seeing other people do it and get so jealous over it and are so inherently selfish that they'd rather erase trans existence in it's entirety and kill millions

morganv.bsky.social•66 days ago

I think for all of them, it’s jealousy. Queer folks of all stripes were all told you will be worse off living openly and did it anyways. They hate they don’t have our strength and sense of self.

embrrrrrrr.bsky.social•66 days ago

I think this is it, and I think it’s regardless of the bigot’s gender or whatever. They are living a life within the lines of socio-familial expectation, and we aren’t, and they are jealous of that part. The fact we clearly are able to keep being what others tell us not to, and they can’t.

embrrrrrrr.bsky.social•66 days ago

One of the pre-transition friends who turned on me was weirdly aware of that aspect: He could tell I was changing not just my sex, but who I was, my life path, and because he desperately wanted that for himself, it manifested as jealousy and competitiveness.

wetasspword.bsky.social•66 days ago

It's not everyone who is bigoted, like some people are just bigoted. But people who's entire life is dedicated to being anti------- just wanna be ------- and it's so obvious

mel.bzky.team•66 days ago

its esp true for transphobes rather than homophobes because most homophobic closet cases are at least a LITTLE aware they have some gay thoughts, whereas transgender closet cases, transphobic or not, can have have fully no idea. gender dysphoria is so abstract it easily transmutes into sthg else

mel.bzky.team•66 days ago

before i realized i was a woman my gender dysphoria transmuted into "i am just an ULTRA FEMINIST" and not only would i as a result of this have said no to the question of if id prefer being a woman, but it could also easily have led to some pretty transphobic places

mo4ntus.bsky.social•66 days ago

Me as a 12 year old trying to figure out what it’d be like to have a period because “I’m just trying to be a good ally” lol

scarecrowpete.bsky.social•66 days ago

True!! One of the biggest arguments I had with my ex was when he came out with some hardline transmedical shit outta nowhere. Saying you HAVE to have violent, ideation-inducing dysphoria to be trans. Turns out he was just trans himself lol

mbhare.bsky.social•66 days ago

hmm whoever could you be talking about. what famous person with a huge number of obvious hang-ups and a deep, frothing instability who has gone on record saying she would've been trans in the modern era.

WHOEVER could you be REFERRING to

spagrag.bsky.social•66 days ago

I think a good part of non-closet case homophobia in cis men is essentially just paranoia that others will percieve them as gay for xyz, and so they try to avoid that by accusing. And that’s where you end up with str8 ppl saying shit like “reading books is zesty behavior I would never 🤪”

justanotherdummy.bsky.social•66 days ago

The "closet case" makes me uncomfortable because it seems designed to shift sympathy towards, and make excuses for, the person who is making terrible arguments. "Oh no, this person's self-loathing is so deep because they're (this) so they can't but help harm others."

Maybe they're just terrible.

2bitnatty.bsky.social•66 days ago

That and the implication that "it's not 'normal' people oppressing you, you're oppressing yourselves"

oneoneder.bsky.social•66 days ago

I think 90% do, tbh. Not "being gay", but "being deeply insecure about their masculinity and ability to subjugate women".
