I see some people saying that #TransWomenAreConMen unfairly harms the "transwomen" who are nice. It's the word and concept of transwoman that is fraudulent. We can tweet out bad individuals who prove that case, it doesn't mean we think all are bad, but that the LIE Is bad /1
/2 If you want to support some kind of trans identity (and that's something we should debate too), it MUST be as something other than quasi-womanhood or quasi-manhood. Decontructing this, unpacking it for people by using language like TiM is important.
Please think about it
/3 Nobody likes to have their language policed, but this language is how we got here. This language creates the illusion that allows men to be seen as women. IF you want to support freedom of dressing, it must be separated from the lie of cross-sex transition

Several men have asked why there is outrage about men claiming to be women (#TransWomenAreConMen ) and not women doing the same to men.
Explanation: first, it hurts all of us when we frame diverse men AND women as other than what they are.
Yes, that includes women claiming /1
/2 to be men or non-women (non-binary and other nonsense).
There is are several reasons why we must talk about it more when men do it than when women do it. And it's shocking if you don't know what those reasons are
THREAD:
3/First and foremost male people are bigger, stronger, and a rape threat to women. Throughout history women needed protections against this. Did you know that before there were public toilets for women (that they had to demand and create) women couldn't leave home without

#transwomenareconmen
I support direct & aggressive attacks on the framing of men as women. That doesn't mean I hate all ppl who are misguided into seeing themselves as such. At the same time, I don't let my affection for individuals make me feel guilty about attacking the /1
/2 the label or concept. Insofar as certain famous, powerful, or criminal people use the trans label, we should be free to criticize them personally (J Marsh, Eddie Izzard). That doesn't mean we are attacking their personhood, but the lie.
There are too many people who conflate
/3 this with saying all trans people are bad. The people aren't bad, but the framing of them as trans is.
That's another problem in this community: there are those who want to coexist with the trans label and they think those of us who want to deconstruct it are bad...

#takebacktheleft
I agree and disagree.
There will always be a left right pull and a need for that pull. Our current lefty parties are lost and need to be punished into moving back to sanity. Sadly (and I agree with you that most dont want to hear this) it seems they won't /1
/2 make the change without pressure. For most of our parties and elected officials, that means loss of elections and loss of their specific seats. For many reasons, some of us don't want to punish them because it hurts other causes we care about. For others of us, this lie
/3 beats out all other issues.
I am a dissaffected leftist but I also need the left. I am disabled and I need social programs and care that conservatives WILL cut. My situation is dire, to be honest. But I won't be bribed into voting for my parties while they promote this lie.

Meanwhile I am on disability benefits in Canada and am broken. My landlord is talking about selling ( happened before, it's an epidemic now, evictions for profit-rerenting to higher $ tenants) ODSP poverty, housing crisis and inflation are partially @justintrudeaus fault /1
/2 Make no mistake, I support MAID. I don't support disabled people who once had a social safety net and a housing market now finding that they have neither. 12 hour wait to been seen in emergency room, no GP, no housing, tried and failed to return to work. No funding for the

Meanwhile, our government funds the takeover of LGB organizations by straight people claiming to be queer via imaginary identities. Highly privileged, affluent college kids claiming to be more diverse than they are are highly funded-and their Image

Ask @JustinTrudeau Qs! Mine thread: /1
1. Where's the promised disability benefit?
2 Are females their own demographic entitled to our own words, sports, spaces and activism?
3. Should women be allowed to express dissent about gender identity ideology and censorship #billc11 Image
/2. How much funding goes to promote the idea that TQ+ "identities" are marginalized and should be tied to LGB activism and organizations, even if LGBs don't agree? How does rebranding white, affluent college students as "diversity" via blue hair and they/them pronoun demands Image
/3.
help really promote diversity in Canada. Can't we promote the acceptance of diverse men and women without paying to medicalize them and fund them as non-men and non-women? How much money goes to programs like Gegi.Ca instead of poor, disabled and indigenous Image
