How ignorant are transphobes about women's issues?

- Do you remember that women's-only gym owner who changed her mind last minute and decided to ban trans women from her upcoming gym? Now she's released her pricing, and it's 120 quid a month, and women on a budget are realising in her comments that the gym is not for them either.
- If you see that video where Elon Musk vows to "destroy the woke mind virus" because he has a trans daughter who he regards as "dead" to him, you'll understand why so many good people were against schools in the UK being forced to out trans kids to their parents. 1/
- Irish Olympic champion Kellie Harrington fought Imane Khelif in the last Olympics and won. Everyone tweeting now about how Khelif is 'really a man beating up women in the ring' (she isn't) has likely never watched a moment of women's boxing in their lives. rte.ie/sport/olympics…
- I asked the "gender critical" movement's shiny new detransitioner, who says things like "the trans cult is comparable to ISIS," if she was, in fact, the daughter of Zhenya Abbruzzese, who founded an anti-trans org in 2019, and she blocked me, so I think we can take that as true.
- If you see a child with a Pride flag, or a Pride Progress Flag, and you think 'that child shouldn't be holding that flag,' it's because you're a person who automatically thinks of sexual acts with you think of LGBT+ people, in way that you don't when think of cishet people. 1/
- Oh, the thin skin. Under her pseudonym, The Cuckoo's Calling sold fewer than 500 hardback copies in its first three months. It sold 43 copies in the week before JK Rowling was revealed to be the author, and then it sold 17662 copies the week after. Siobhán touched a nerve.FUCKEN LMAO
- A "gender critical" artist set out to do portraits of 100 "detransitioned women" nearly 2 years ago. I suspected it was taking her so long (she's only at 56 worldwide) that some subjects would begin to drop out (change of opinion? Retransition?) and so it has turned out to be. 1/
- Hi @jk_rowling. Italy intends to remove the name of lesbians from their children's birth certs. Your ally Kellie-Jay Keen supports the move. Last year, you said innumerable gay people, "especially lesbians," were "under attack." Are you going to stand up for them now? 1/
- You weren't "minding your own business." You were vehemently opposed to marriage equality, and when you lost that fight, you turned on trans people, who were actually minding their own business up until then. "The trans movement," today, is simply people defending themselves.
- Hi @jk_rowling, a couple of weeks ago Graham Linehan tweeted that if you saw someone who you thought was trans in a woman's toilet you should punch them. That tweet got 5000 likes. This is what violence against women who don't conform to cishet standards looks like. Comment?
- What actually happened is that the Right Wing, who for years tried the "stop shoving gay rights down our throats" line, lost their fight against marriage equality, and targeted the T so that they could eventually get gay rights back in the Overton window, which they have done.
A campaign against transgender rights has mobilized the Republican Party. How did that happen? Listen to today's episode of The Daily. nyti.ms/43sE3xM- The bit in Graham Linehan's latest interview where he says that trans people "produce no art," and that there are no great trans films, music or books is very, very dangerous rhetoric, and it shouldn't be laughed off. That's classic dehumanisation of a minority.
