To win, all the Left has to do is wait for those on the Right to get old and die. To win, all the Right has to do is sit back and watch those on the Left kill each other.

The conservatism of the right is far from the lofty ideals of resisting change for the sake of change. It's not even resisting change for any reason. The contemporary right wants to go backwards. That's what it works towards.
The progress of the left is far from progress for the sake of progress. It's progress for the sake of we're facing catastrophe if we don't sort our shit out. The weird and clunky progress we see on the street is merely the fringe of the work that's ongoing much deeper in the institutions that afford our lifestyles. The right is the one eating itself alive. The left has learnt how to shed its skin. Although, I still think it's a gross generalisation. There are still many genuine actors on the "right" working for traditional conservative values and many on the "left" looking to upset the status quo just for the sake of their turn at the front.

When we overtly and exaggeratedly act out one set of behaviour, while covertly wishing for or engaging in the opposite, we might call that a reaction formation.
It makes sense that as we grow in awareness of both our "inappropriate conduct" as a society and our inability to change that conduct, we'll see more extreme examples as we struggle to reconcile who we imagine we are with who we really are.

Yes, it's a lot more tolerant.

A lot more tolerant. Not so much of creepy behavior (except by conservative apologists). Progress is good.

Yeah, that's a thing. I'll keep on listening tho. It's good music and I'm not afraid of my dark side. No more or less kids will be fucked either way.

I reckon that this is one of those wrong side of history things. Considering gender in woman categorization harms no one & denying the gender side of things harms a lot of people.

I agree declaring martial law to prevent a meeting of citizens who want to discuss the adequacy of current law is entirely reasonable

When it comes to transgender activism confrontations, the collision I really fear is two groups driven insane by social media: "trans women are women and can not be excluded from female-only spaces" on one side and Qanon "protect children from the vampires" on the other. |

Do you wonder why these tribes?
Tribalism is always in play. Is there space to wonder why it's playing out this way, now? Or it's largely arbitrary? The meme of the week? It could be, right?

We've always been tribal, but we've never had algorithmically-driven social media before. That plus COVID stress has driven people crazy. Being crazy and part of a group of other crazies is better than being alone.

In what ways do you think that trans-inclusive laws negativity effect ciswomen?

“Harms no one”
On a train at the mo fumbling with phone, so until I actually do so, assume that here I posted details of: A woman having her skull fractured in martial arts competition against a natal male A woman suffering a serious injury in a women’s rugby match when competing against a natal male A woman being raped in a women’s prison by a prisoner who was a natal male |
19th July 2021, 11:35 | #873 |

Calm down Rowling.
A person having their skull fractured in a mismatched martial arts competition. A person suffering a rugby injury as is typical. A person being raped in an inadequately run prison, as is typical.

What do you think you're demonstrating, other than you're old and don't get it?
That you can find pretty much a story about anything if you search for it? People get injured playing sports and raped in prison. How do you think you're being convincing by asserting it's gender that is the tool to make sure these things don't happen?

Those things aren't directly caused by trans-inclusive legislation. Those institutions/organisations make decisions on how they run and structure themselves.
The prison example was clearly a case of mismanaging a prisoner with a history of sexual violence. With the MMA athlete there's no evidence[that the injury had anything to do with her being transgender And there's also no evidence that letting transgender people use public facilities increases safety risks. link

"Considering gender in woman categorization" can, has, and does lead to harm in certain situations. To claim otherwise is to ignore reality.

Anything can be true if we're willing to create the frame to make it so.
Are you making a point about the unreasonable positions trolls and shills are willing to take, and how we should be working to accommodate such people in our discussions? Like, the tribal thing? That's what people looking to exploit our tribal sensibilities are going to latch onto? We have to be careful to use precise language?
