They absolutely think we do not deserve any rights

molasunnyfish.bsky.social•39 days ago

That's what the GOP wants. They want disabled people, mentally ill people, and women to have zero rights. I still remember all the state GOP legislatures who tried to pass laws saying that people must wear clothes that match their birth gender.

kazanmasilverwind.bsky.social•38 days ago

remember, they want freedom as long as it's only the freedom They like and not the freedom of others

craxantvs.bsky.social•39 days ago

I mean, I'm pretty sure these people would answer "no" to the above questions.

gothra.bsky.social•39 days ago

They know they aren't allowed to say "I hate those people and want to wage social warfare on them."

But, we all know that's what they're doing.

If you ask most maga cult members, they’ll answer No, No, and Yes. Only the sane freethinking people will answer differently.

rosedees.bsky.social•39 days ago

The point of terfs is to disconnect transpeople from feminism. They do this by making us develop filters to engage with it. Its a trap for babies to confuse the path a bit. This is how you create people who vote for the leopards. How many "anti feminist phases" it caused.

meamdal.bsky.social•39 days ago

They want trans people to die because they want all disabled people to die. Make them say those words on record.

rhi.party•39 days ago

Whenever I see someone say (in obvious bad faith) "its a mental illness trans people just need therapy," I say there's a century of evidence proving conversion therapy doesn't help and decades of evidence that transition does help treat this "mental illness".

tjenn2863.bsky.social•39 days ago

So now we’re back to mental illness and conversion therapy?
Great it doesn’t work and as far as mental illness cis people are not born wrong so how could they know what it’s like?

gendergoo.bsky.social•39 days ago

Also - wtf do you think the T in HRT stands for?? Who do you think I’m seeing for treatment if not a doctor??

pdxreigns.bsky.social•39 days ago

None of it makes sense or holds up to the smallest argument. Do you deserve body autonomy? Does your neighbor?

60+ years ago women had to fight for the right to wear pants. Welcome back to 1960 everyone. If you aren't a White straight man, then you have no rights. This countries government has become a disgrace, full of racist and bigots. Stay strong and don't give up.

pikacha.bsky.social•39 days ago

I'm pretty sure #3 there is on the Project 2025 To-Do list.

dantansky.bsky.social•39 days ago

If they could take away pants from women....these fuckers would.

sandrock.bsky.social•39 days ago

Unfortunately, there is still a disturbing number of Americans that believe in eugenics. I don't think they are a majority though, so there is some hope there

dashwallkick.bsky.social•39 days ago

this is why I always say terfs are not feminists, they're hyperpatriarchs. they want the status quo as it existed ten years ago and they've rationalized this urge via "women's SAFETY!!"

kazanmasilverwind.bsky.social•38 days ago

Shit like Jk Rofling made me realize TERFs make it harder for Cis women to be women. Gotta go through so many hoops to not be "actually a man" regardless of how you were born

scotsdragon.bsky.social•39 days ago

They want a past that never really existed. What they really want is to go back to when they themselves didn't know about trans rights and trans people, because they hadn't noticed us yet.

dashwallkick.bsky.social•39 days ago

like most fascism, "Things used to be better, and we should return to that era." Do this long enough and you get "human beings physically devolved from 12 feet tall behemoths after the great biblical flood"

scotsdragon.bsky.social•39 days ago

'Everything was better when I was a kid and didn't have to worry about anything!' as political philosophy. It is the ideology of manchildren.

dashwallkick.bsky.social•39 days ago

hey now, that's not fair -- we're talking about terfs, include the women too.

scotsdragon.bsky.social•39 days ago

We do need a decent gender-neutral equivalent since 'womanchild' just doesn't work as well.

meamdal.bsky.social•39 days ago

TERFs are the final form of patriarchy

girlrobot.io•39 days ago

They make no sense if you assume terfs mean what they say about protecting women.

They absolutely do not.

grumblekrax.bsky.social•39 days ago

terf itself is a huge misnomer. There is nothing feminist, radical or not, about terfs. Just look how quick the terfs resort to basically arguing that the only thing that makes a woman is being able to produce babies. Terfs are agents of misogyny and the patriarchy.

johkmil.bsky.social•39 days ago

We are doing them a massive service by using TERF for anyone but a small dozen or so 70s-style radfems who have managed to tie themselves into an ideological knot where it is impossible for trans people to exist. The millions beyond them are simply reactionary conservatives – the patriarchy itself.

applimu.bsky.social•39 days ago

I agree with u but this is such a non-sequitur argument 😭 like none of what u said rejects the idea that hormone bans, surgery bans/barriers, bathroom bans, and other antitrans laws are bad

bennie.gay•39 days ago

Okay if you take their argument that trans women are men.

Are men allowed to wear the clothes they want? Are men allowed bodily autonomy? Etc.

applimu.bsky.social•39 days ago

I guess I just don't understand the point of ur original bleet because obviously anti-trans laws do make sense to transphobes (otherwise they wouldn't enact them)

bennie.gay•39 days ago

They never think them through

bennie.gay•39 days ago

I need you all to understand that my point here isn't for the true believers on either side.

These are the arguments to throw in front of those uncertain masses who need to see how deeply evil the anti trans people are

thehagwriter.bsky.social•39 days ago

Every argument of theirs crumbles
