You might have joined a cult:

If you’ve been convinced into pretending biological sex isn’t one of the most robust material facts about human beings, even though 99.98% of people are unambiguously male or female.

If you used to recognise that gay people deserved equal rights for their sexual orientation but now you think their orientation is hateful and exclusionary if they won’t sleep with members of the opposite sex who have a trans identity

If you used to understand that male violence exists, and women were vulnerable to it, but now every time a woman says she wants female only spaces you insult her, yell at her and even threaten to punch her (or are happy that someone else does)

If you are “supporting trans kids” by insisting that any attempts to alleviate dysphoria in children without transitioning them and giving them the same drugs that have also been used to castrate sex offenders is genocidal cruelty.

If you ignore the evidence of harm to women&girls as a result of society pretending an inner sense of identity is more real than sex. Such as skewed crime statistics,male offenders in women’s prisons,women raped by men in female only spaces&subject to indecent exposure I.e #WiSpa

If you think women, as a group, are as violent as men, as a group, or you now believe that whether or not a person can commit male violence is based on their sense of identity and not on their sex

If you want to insist women who are raped by men call their attackers ‘she’ if he says so. Or that a woman who is murdered shouldn’t be acknowledged as a victim of male violence if her abuser says he is a woman.

If you seriously believe that women who don’t claim a trans identity are privileged globally for being born female in a world that oppresses them for being so

If you think anyone who disagrees with you is a nazi, fascist “TERF” in league with the religious right and not just someone who, you know, thinks you’re wrong about stuff.

If every time someone doesn’t adhere to your worldview you try to ostracise, isolate, humiliate, denigrate, threaten or hurt them. And then you consider yourself to be offering the world some kind of justice.

If you can’t even read this thread without wanting to hurt me, too.
