"I am a woman!"
"Don't use the word woman when referring to being pregnant! It hurts our feefees!"
These lunatics can't make up their fucking minds.
I think we
really need to highlight that the words they keep suggesting instead are
incredibly misogynistic.
This is why we have TERFs. This is why we
used to gatekeep getting HRT and on. The trans community bitches about wanting to be accepted, but doesn't grasp that this is going to be outside of their reach, on the whole, as long as they tolerate their predators and toxic elements. I suspect they'd welcomed in the Troon AGP corps because "Look it raises our numbers!" and just...didn't think. They didn't think about the damage these people would do to them, by being so
publicly hostile to the gender they claim to be. They didn't think about the damage that comes from having the 'face' of your movement be, more often than not,
raging fucking bigots.
Maybe,
maybe you should consider that if you want to be accepted as one of the girls, being a massive misogynistic amhole to them is a horrible idea. If everybody thinks you're a pile of burning shit? It
might be because you
are a pile of burning shit.
Indeed. "Sex work" is only worthwhile when you have the ability to make the choice yourself, all the while being above and away from the other influences that exist alongside selling yourself. Those being drug addiction, STDs, and the occasional bruise, scar, or broken bone from your pimp. It's all framed as a personal choice people (especially women) have the "right" to make, all the while ignoring the people who're forced into prostitution and otherwise selling their bodies for the benefit of their pimps. But those matter much less than one's supposed freedom to willingly sell their dignity and self-respect.
Well, it seems the general assumption is that those people don't exist. It's why I'm a bit sad it doesn't look like the research breaking down the legalization/decriminalization doesn't seem to break out the Nordic model--under which
selling is legal, but all the other elements
aren't. All it really shows is that once you don't have to worry about legal consequences, the sex trafficking problem gets worse.
It doesn't actually get into if this applies regardless, or if you are pretty much only saying there's no penalties for the possible trafficking victim. (Though it could be hilarious to actually treat both the pimps
and the johns of anybody who was forced into sex work as
legally rapists. After all...it seems a bit absurd to say that the financial transaction somehow changes that this
is fundamentally forcing a person into sexual activities they don't want to do, and I know some areas have it established that you can be charged even if you didn't make the person have sex with
you.)
Hm. Did I miss Kev having a thirstpost spree about being pimped out or shit? I mean, that's not a rare fantasy to go with some of the known fetishes...
