[QUOTE="Gradine, post: 9034270, member: 57112"] I don't have the inclination to waste my time and energy on transphobes, but for the rest of the home audience "Concerns about single sex spaces" is code for "Trans women (it's always trans women specifically) are male perverts and sex criminals who: <pick a choice below>" (a) Force their kinks on others (b) Prey on women and children (c) Seek some advantage over women or (d) Whatever combination of the above or anything else they can make up to back up their point The thing about transphobes is that they don't have any real coherent philosophy beyond "trans = bad" and so they'll make up whatever imagined fears they think will work on susceptible people. None of the above is real, by the way. Neither is any of the things they make up about regret/desistance (Regret/Detransition rates are extremely low and more often than not based on societal pressure and discrimination than anything) Not a single peer-reviewed study backs up anything other than the overwhelmingly positive impacts of transition. Other nonsense code words to look out for: "Male pattern violence" "Socialized male" "Transwoman" "TRA/TIM" All of these are nonsense at best and slurs at worst. Oh and on the "eradicate trans people" most people aren't going to come right out at say it (except for the neo-nazis who have, of course, absolutely been invited to march/protest with transphobic speakers), they'll say things like "ideally we limit the number of trans people" or "trans people are a problem in a sane world" or "we need to eliminate trans [I]ideology[/I]" which are all real quotes from the people JK Rowling has platformed and supported, and are also just roundabout ways to get to the same goal which is no trans people existing. The only real difference is how they want to achieve that goal: forced detransition or death. Unfortunately, for a great many trans people, that's a distinction without a difference. [/QUOTE]
