‘Your self image as a progressive..makes your thought process easy to hack’.
Brilliant way of putting it. This is the biggest hurdle to overcome because of human ego. Most don’t want to admit they are wrong, at least not on the big issues.
Brilliant analysis !! Every single person promoting or complying with this " ideology " will have blood on their hands !! Man's inhumanity to WOMAN ( to paraphrase Rabbie Burns ,who definitely knew what a WOMAN was !!)
I was reading something unrelated to the gender debate but simlar to this that can be related to it. The difference between scouts and soldiers.
A soldier frames their perspective in ways that allow them to fit in, focusing on stories that justify the war and the killing. It's defensive thinking, they must never cede territory, must defend what they believe to be true against any threat, even to their personal disadvantage.
A scout is an explorer. They scout terrain to be able to see the world as it is.
As much as TRA's like to see themselves as free-thinkers, uninhibited and breaking beyond the staid norms, they're pure soldiers. They cannot allow the pathways of their thoughts to stretch any further than a slogan or what allows them to fit in with their peers. When confronted with any argument against what they're doing, what choice do they have? They can only disregard it, reframe and move past it as a good soldier.
Every GC you come across is a scout though. They've done the thinking and the research. They've not been convinced by the arguments and they're always coming up with new pathways of thought that look at the issue from another angle that checks their position remains solid. TTExulansic might be the finest example of this.
A very important and perceptive explanation of how sycophancy, ignorance, indoctrination, opportunism and other weaknesses are responsible for going along with such patently false statements as 'Trans women are women.'
You are right but this outrageous marketing campaign has been so successful. The problem is the research says something completely different and individuals need to check it out - employers joined the virtue signalling band wagon too and misled everyone - they were too lazy to check it out, wanted to save money and I think they also enjoy old fashioned back slapping and mens rights. Anyone not checking the research at this stage is quite frankly an idiot!
Agree with everything in this post except the word "secret" in "secret handshake." The lunatics and opportunists shout "trans women ARE women" from the rooftops at every possible moment.
Everyone should read Helen Joyce's book, "Trans". I gave just finished it and handed it to to a "TWAW" believer who is on the cusp of turning. I expect she will come back to me with a different opinion and a suggestion on where the book should go next. We won,'t change the world but we will have women who change opinion come forward to stand with us on the "transwomen are biologically male" front.
So good! I listened to House Of Lords debate on trans women in women's prisons and found it difficult to keep up (and I have a good grasp of the issues). We need this story. It encapsulates the whole problem succinctly. I'm now going to write 20 second version for people who want to understand but won't bother to hear the long version.

Excellent. Loved the Chinese loyalty test - great analogy. (Sad, though. The opposite of the Emperor's New Clothes!)
I love this. Perfect.
Beautifully said.
That was such a joy to read; beautifully-written rationality.
Lunatics, opportunists, but most importantly -- cowards.

Perfectly stated. Thanks for sharing it.

The biggest con ever

Brilliant and succinct- the truth often, if not always, is. There's more to seeing than looking.
what an excellent piece, very helpful in understanding where people might be coming from
