I'm so tired of being told I stand against people's rights when I advocate for people's rights
So tired of being told there's a choice to make and that's the only discussion to have
Don't wanna be asked:
"What is best, someone being raped in a men's prison or a women's prison"?

This is so toxic
& we're not even addressing the actual concerns.
"Native" women's safety and trans women safety apparently have to be opposed
Reminds me of how "native" citizens safety is "threatened" if migrants get rights too
"Some of them are bad you know! Kick them all out"

I'm so tired of the "lobby" and "agenda" rhetoric
As in trans people are going to erase women -and gay people? Like all men are suddenly decide they are women -and gay people won't be gay anymore? Are you serious?
The "great replacement theory" is called a theory for reason guys

And in the meanwhile, we're not having the relevant debates
Like women's safety
Will erasing trans people guarantee women's safety?
#Breaking: no.
We'd need to address the predators' impunity issue.
Not consider all trans potential predators

Remember when gay people were to be a threat in changing rooms, showers, bathrooms?
Remember when plenty of pedophiles were to emerge?
Accepting gay people didn't end our society. It didn't make everyone gay. It didn't erase straight people.
Trans people are people too.

But what about not letting predators *misuse* trans rights to abuse other people?
Now *that* is something we could -we should- talk about
Rape tolerance in our society is shamelessly high
"It happens, what can we do"
Well -Let's do something about it?

There's also the "women's rights as a protected category" issue
We are a protected category?
#BreakingNews!
Since when?
Where are those protected rights to preserve?
If a trans woman is asked about being pregnant, does it take anything from me? Am I less of a woman?

Oh, sport -Let's talk about sport categories.
Because, yes, that is something to be discussed.
We did it for paralympics categories
So how do we define categories?
Performance? Weigh? Size? Hormones?
Again it's not all about trans people 👇

"Oh but wait we could have a trans people category!
In sport, jails, shelters... Everywhere!"
The only thing is...
There ain't enough trans people for that
"But there are more and more, it's contagious!"
Nah it's like left-handed or gay people: There are just not hidden anymore

So am I willing to discuss how to address concerns?
Yes.
Nevertheless if all you have to say is "Let's consider that trans people don't exist, it's more convenient" or to yell at me I hate women and want them hurt, go talk to a mirror.
You don't need me to "win" the non-debate

I'll end by advising caution about the current "women's rights champions" stirring up your hate
I seriously doubt they have your real interests at heart
There's no simple and cheap solution to complex issues
Don't believe anyone telling you otherwise

Because, if you look at their backers, and what they are starting to say?
They won't stop there

Women and girls, you're next
"Human rights can't be for everyone?"
You're part of everyone
We've reached the point where some people are using the "argument"
'Talibans/Russians know what a woman is'
But they ain't exactly women's rights champions are they?
