I mean you say they’re well defined but your own explanation is a vague generalization. I don’t think any decent & rational person wants to deprive trans people of basic human rights, but that doesn’t mean they’re comfortable with every single demand of activists either, which is probably the actual intent of the message.

As for the “no nazi bullshit” part, this doesn’t tell me anything except that the community has some childish and unstable people who have a habit of calling everyone they disagree with a nazi. It’s not hard to be “worried that that includes you” when there are plenty of people who would call someone a nazi for just about anything or for being even slightly to the right of them on any issue.

It has very little to do with a literal interpretation of these words, which these types always hide behind because they are cowards, and everything to do with the implicit meaning given broader context.




again, I would really like to hear what the "activists" are demanding that you think is so unreasonable.

that's a lot to assume from a couple words on a website, but if you're this fun at parties we must really be missing out.

also btw, hi, it's me, the coward who wrote the prose for the website. tho it wasn't _just_ me that thought it was a good idea. it's done a terrific job of keeping "un-politic" buzz kills away.


When 'trans rights' are demanded by these activists, typically it's because they want self-proclaimed 'gender identity' to override sex in every circumstance.

This is particularly harmful to women who need female-only spaces away from any males. Any man who calls himself a woman would be able to enter any space designated solely for women, with impunity.

This has already happened in many places that have acceded to 'trans rights' activist demands. It is a political and ideological assault on women's boundaries and consent.
