"[W]e suffer a lot for not having catchy phrases. That we we really could do with some slogans. I know that people would say that our points are too complex for them to be distilled, but I think it's essential."
#SexNotGender is a key phrase and slogan for me, which cuts straight through the sophistry to the core issue of sex class as the material basis of patriarchal oppression.
Sex ≠ gender ≠ identity ≠ personality or preference.
If you can't sex, you can't see sexism.
#AllMalesAreMale cuts straight to sex in keeping with #SexNotGender, because most of this is not about "identity" claims or preferences.
Few care about a male's "gender identity" claims when he is colonizing female spaces, and it is entirely irrelevant.
I prefer "good MALES stay out so bad MALES stand out," but that goes to my preference to avoid "man" and "woman" as less precise, in keeping with #SexNotGender
@stellaomalley3 I'm not going to make a big distinction here between hashtags and phrases and slogans, but any comparison to clearly sex animals is useful: roosters and hens, cows and bulls, etc.
"Castrating a steer doesn't make it a cow."
"Lipstick on a boar doesn't make it a sow."

Got kicked out of another leftish group this week, after what looks a young male made an accusation of "transphobia," so presume a few of those involved will have heard of it and be looking here.
🧵 A thread…
Accusation of "transphobia" are always vague and intended as thought-terminating "kill shots."
Those making them usually intend misdirection toward another goal. Look for what that might be.
After years of thoughtful engagement on this topic, I have come to the conclusion that hegemonic "trans" ideology is deeply sexist, homophobic, anti-feminist and sex-negative.
I can explain this position in great detail, but only to those who will listen, and are open to grow.
