This is the essence of what “gender critical” feminism is.
They are *happy* to ensure that people who don’t publicly perform femininity to their rigid standards are afraid to exist in society.
Oh. Sure. Some will say they will ask first before attacking. As if that makes it OK
Because the LGBTQ+ crowd tends to try and be inclusive, they usually* make adjustments for disabled people. Which is why you might see more disabled people show up at LGBTQ+ events
It really is that simple

My profile picture says I am a bald person.
My words say I am a woman.
My pinned tweet has proof of the nasty things TERFs say about me, as well as a screenshot of one TERF who knows me personally (and hates me) admitting that she knows for sure that I am a woman.

We were institutionalized. That’s why people think we didn’t exist.
We had zero legal rights to exist in public. We had zero rights to a public education. We were exiled to a system that locked us away from everyone else.
Often parents would tell everyone that we died.
@hotcistakes
She blocked me. LOL.
My question was serious though.
If being incontinent is essential to the experience of being a woman, then am I more of a woman because I need to use diapers?

@Esqueer_
Context in the article suggests it was the same incident.
Which suggests the act of exposing his genitalia may also be a hate crime.

Reading Freud is so entertaining.
It’s:
Yes.
Yes.
YES! Amazing observation.
Yup.
What the actual Fuck? Oh. Right. You’re on cocaine.
Oh. Another good observation.
Well this one is doing numbers.
If you’re so inclined, help out this young woman. She’s had to endure a lot of stress at the hands of some local bigots

I can promise you it is absolutely a slur used to insult people who have movement disorders, seizures, ADHD, autism, Tourette’s, and many other disabilities.
Just because you personally have never heard anyone use it in a derogatory manner? Does not mean it’s not a slur.
@Glinner
@JustAmused
I’m a woman, Glinner.
And I get to speak about my own experiences as a woman, using any and all words to describe myself that I choose.
This is my right as a woman, and as an individual human being.
@RndmStreetMedic
Katie Daviscourt filmed me at a city council meeting & put the video on her twitter to make fun of my mask & goggles
She calls herself a journalist
If she had asked me a single question re why I wear them, she would have learned that I have a medically fragile loved one at home

@MoistenedTart
Context is key.
If you see one of those in a Buddhist temple? Yeah. It’s a religious symbol.
If you see one, in those colors, on a table filled with guns and WWII antiques? It’s not a religious symbol.
@emeyerson
@Brendelbored
Yes. Question everything.
BUT THEN ACTUALLY LEARN REAL FACTS and apply them to the situation.
Questioning everything and then just accepting every piece of bullshit that floats towards you is not what “Question everything” was ever supposed to mean.
@That1MedStudent
Long story but I also was rescued by a kind stranger when I was 19.
I worked at a waterfront bar in Alaska. A couple cruise ship employees tricked me into a situation, and another employee spotted the set up and swooped in to get me out of there.
Thank you for doing what you did

And your response is why people hate Boomers.
If it doesn’t pertain to you? Don’t make it about you, and you’ll be OK.

I’m not talking about anyone else in this post except myself.
Weird that you posted that list, since it has absolutely nothing to do with what I said.
@ProfJMale
That linguistic violence lays bare the truth of how many non-disabled people perceive us.
It’s bad enough with ADHD. The autism assessments are absolutely brutal. And having both together?
I have had to just accept that most people don’t understand me at all.
@marianaatencio
You apologize to the two people you SAW trying to use that parking spot. But NOT everyone who drove by and didn't have the courage to ask you to move.
Weak sauce. Don't apologize. Just recognize your ablist BS and do better next time.
@DadTrans
Also, transphobes tend to be unsafe to other minorities.
Lots of ableist “jokes”
Picking on fat people just because.
Digs at poor people.
If someone hasn’t unpacked one issue, it’s probable that they don’t want to. And have a lot that should be unpacked.

It means I was born a girl child and grew into a woman.
It doesn’t say anything about how I choose to dress or what roles I choose to fulfill in my life.
I am a gender non conforming c i s woman.
@MxVivianWulf
Every “gender critical” is a perv.
Every single one of them.
Every. One.
My GOD.
A successful author should understand that Lolita was a victim. It’s not a love story.
O My God
I reported my professor for severe sexual harassment.
My life was a living hell for years. Because some people blamed me for his suicide.
They didn’t know the extent of the harm that man did to students over the years
He was responsible for his own actions
And so is Somerton
Anyone trying to blame HBomb for the James Somerton situation is essentially making the argument that Somerton should have been allowed to keep stealing and successfully monetising the work of less successful/well known creators for the sake of his mental health.

@KatyMontgomerie
It’s only “terrifying” to you bigots.
The rest of us cis women are fine with sharing our space with trans women. And we are the majority.
@KatyMontgomerie
Key point: Most people don’t get their chromosomes tested.
There are only a handful of XY mothers in the literature.
Does not mean it’s only a handful of XY mothers ever in the whole world.
Because most people don’t actually know what their DNA is.
@AnarkYouTube
Can confirm.
I learned the slur “troon” from them. It was used to insult me at one of their hate rallies. I was just minding my own business observing the event.
A TERF took one look at me, shoved me, and called me that.
I’m a bald cisgender woman.
@XYPaulPeace
Don’t. Mansplain. Feminism. At. Me.
Don’t. Mansplain. What. TERF/Gender Critical. Ideology. Is. At. Me.
You are not a trans person.
You are not a woman.
You are not a gender nonconforming woman.
You have ZERO lived experience on this subject.
Shut the fuck up.
@maidensblade
I’m a gender non conforming cis woman and I think this is a move to make transphobes feel more comfortable. It’s a move towards making this app more hostile towards trans and gender non conforming people.
@LilahRPGtt
Tacoma, Washington. 2010.
My friend got beaten up by a stranger in a parking lot because he was gay.
Called the cops immediately. Made a statement. Was able to ID the guy from description and license plate.
Cops did nothing. Except ridicule me and my friend.
@RightRebel12
Did you even read it?
The article studies pre-transition people. No one has had any hormone therapy in this study
It’s even titled “Low bone mass is prevalent in male-to-female transsexual persons before the start of cross-sex hormonal therapy and gonadectomy”
Key word: BEFORE

“You don’t want an expensive test. Here, take these Tramadol pills. All the little old ladies love them for their aches and pains!”
(It was a kidney stone- and I threw out the tramadol because it kills CPAP users)
@KatyMontgomerie
Twenty five years ago it was “99% of what’s alive was made possible by heterosexual couples”
They’ve just recycled the same old garbage.
@ItsEmilyKaty
12) Why are you wearing *that*? (or any similar question about your clothes or hair or makeup)
A) Because *I like it* Why does what I choose to wear confuse or upset you?
My fashion sense is eccentric. *I* am very eccentric
If you don’t like it, that’s fine. But let me be me.

My kid got in trouble once because they asked for clarification on “There are 50 flags flying over the Capitol Building. How many stars are there?”
Whose flags? Which Capitol?
That was 4th grade. The last year before we began homeschooling
Boomer here…
I’m a mother, and I’m definitely not a TERF.
Furthermore, my Greatest Generation mom, who has been gone for many years, was not a TERF. She would have fought very hard against that entire ideology.
TERFs are not feminists. They’re tools of the patriarchy.
@catespice
@NickySimpson98
Normal people see a group of young people shopping and having a good time together and either don’t think about it at all, or think “well, that’s wholesome!”
Meanwhile, TERFs…. 😱🤬😡😠

A trans man being ecstatic about being in a locker room full of other trans men is not a “her” being ecstatic about not having men in the locker room. The locker room has lots of men in it. Trans men.
@xanderisdapper
@SoupTransphobes
A cis woman was murdered this summer because her neighbor thought she was trans.
These leggings are not going to help anyone.
*also men can be r*ped.
TERFs will lie about anything.
😂
“Confronts” here is harassment of a complete stranger who is minding her own business. Or, in TERF logic “causing trouble”
“Destroys (her)” should read “TERF makes a complete ass of herself and is kicked out of a restaurant.”
