  • https://transactual.org.uk/transphobia/

    f) Tacit transphobia is still transphobia.

    Actions designed to harm or take away trans people’s human rights are still transphobic even when not expressed in explicitly transphobic language, or not expressed in language at all. This tacit transphobia is often referred to as ‘dogwhistle’ transphobia. For example, one UK based transphobic hate group bought  a full page advert which read: ‘Woman: an adult human female.’ The statement itself is not transphobic, but when the context for the statement is that the group in question believe that trans women can never be female the transphobic intent is clear. Similarly, when a football ‘fan’ throws a banana at a black player during a match, the racist intent is clear even though bananas are not inherently racist.



  • John Constantine is a good example. He will do the right thing, even if it means sacrificing one of his oldest friends to eternal damnation to do it.

    And his past is littered with people he’s done that to. It’s not a one off “Oh, sorry mate, only way to get this done is to… you know, infest you with a swarm of demon bugs…”


  • Possibly another explanation. We all know with Trump that every accusation is an admission, right?

    "Howard Stern: You’ve never gotten a social disease.

    Donald Trump: It is a dangerous world out there. It is scary. It’s like Vietnam, sort of like, you know, the Vietnam era.

    Howard Stern: It is. It is your personal Vietnam.

    Donald Trump: It is my personal Vietnam.

    Howard Stern: You’ve said that many times.

    Donald Trump: I feel like a great and very brave soldier."

    So, that being said:

    https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/4622-syphilis

    About 20% of people progress to the late syphilis phase, which causes a range of serious health problems. These problems occur slowly and include:

    Brain damage, dementia and cognitive health problems.

    Heart disease.

    Movement disorders and muscle problems.

    Nerve damage.

    Seizures.

    Vision problems, including blindness.


  • I removed it because you’re engaging in transphobic dog whistles that are not fit for our communities.

    And, again, as explained above, the sports argument is a red herring. That’s NOT what any of this is about, any more than it’s about “protecting children” or whatever other bullshit they want to throw out.

    They want to eliminate trans people, full stop. Eliminating puberty blockers and hormone treatment, bathroom laws, and the nonsense about sports.

    It all boils down to they don’t want trans people to exist, and if you start buying one piece of it, you buy all of it.

    It’s the trans equivalent of what got Jimmy The Greek fired back in 1988, but I recognize that’s a little farther back than the internet remembers these days.



  • It’s not even about “biological men competing in womens sports”, ultimately what it’s about is not wanting trans people to exist at all. The sports thing is a red herring, don’t fall for the bait.

    When kids are trans, what they need is all the help and support we can provide. Puberty blockers and hormones to help facilitate. God forbid a kid should be comfortable in their own skin.

    But, oh, no, we can’t allow that either because, again, the end goal is making it harder or impossible for them to simply exist. It’s not about sports and never has been.
