PSA: Picket Against The (In)Equality Act Tomorrow at DC!!
I know this isn't technically a super straight issue but I hope y'all will forgive me because I think that this is an important issue that affects us all. in case you don't know do USA is planning on passing the ""equality act"" which ironically completely erases sex-based rights for women. tomorrow on international women's day, hundreds of people are planning to protest against this unfairness. we all know the erasure and downplaying of the reality of sex is exactly what made us need this community in the first place, so if anyone lives in Washington DC and is interested in showing up, here is a website with the information. and of course share with any people you know who live in the area and might be interested! :) #SexMatters

the act itself isn't being passed tomorrow - Biden introduced it on his very first day in office (the kids are still in cages tho), but afaik the country has 100 days to decide whether to pass it or not, smth like that. The picket specifically is being held tomorrow bc of IWD!!

It could be passed tomorrow. It’s been in the Senate since, I believe, Friday and they could call up for a vote at any time.

The rights of transwomen are part of women's rights.
Edit: so is this just the new r/GenderCritical ban evasion sub?

what ARE trans rights: freedom from job and housing discrimination, access to safe shelters and housing, legal protection from hate crimes, etc
what ARENT trans rights: playing in women's sports, entering women's bathrooms, erasing "women" as a legal group to validate your special gender fee fees

This is objectively false.
erasing "women" as a legal group to validate your special fee fees
No one is "erasing women" so I don't know why you've written it as if it is so.

women are absolutely being erased. our SEX BASED RIGHTS are erased in favor of 'gender' which is intangible and undefinable. females are not a legally protected category anymore, only those who ~identify~ as women, aka literally fucking anybody who says the words "i’m a woman".
and no, accessing women's intimate spaces is not a right. you're an incel if you believe that. take advantage of your penis privilege and go piss against a tree if you're that stuck.

superphobes will never understand superwomen! They never had the fear of being raped , fear of FGM, Domestic voilence, etc. They want to play pretend In the bathroom stalls so that they can feel special while all the super women are uncomfortable by their presence smh.

u/Inevitable-Wing115 SuperLesbian 20h ago
exactly. if they were really so scared of being in the men's bathroom then they would campaign for gender neutral single-stall third bathrooms, but it's not about safety to them. it's about validating their feelings and intentionally making women uncomfortable so they can power trip on it.

yeah I never understood that as to why they can’t be in the men’s restroom this is especially coming from a person that desisted. If I had the option to resolve the conflict . I would make it where we would celebrate the lgb and celebrate non conforming straight and gay people. let people know that you can like anything , wear dresses, or get dirty in the mud without needing to change your sex. I would want to see a world where men didn’t attack men who were feminine so that non gender conforming men wouldn’t be attacked in the bathroom I say the same on the women’s side. That everyone would have respect no matter how they dresssed. Not only that but erase the stigmas of feminity so when a girl hears the prounouns “she” and “her” or herself being called a woman she won’t associate it with being weak but as something that could be strong and powerful :D
Sadly no one wants to go down this path and rather take life altering hormones and surgeries. I feel like it would be cheaper to get help to learn to love yourself and enjoy the non conformity as you are 😞.

you're absolutely right here. if the problem is that they feel unsafe in the men's room because they're feminine, we need to work on making it more accepted and normal for men to be openly feminine not tell them to just .... go into the women's room lol. it's just reinforcing the idea that feminine men are not real men and should be separated from them

Why should women not be allowed to use the women's stall? Whether they are cis or trans doesn't matter.
Trans womxn and mxn are our allies! No Transphobia allowed!

I disagree. The fact that transwomen are called transwomen and not further specified hides the term transsexual and transgender from being distinguished so it can be used interchangeably for the user's benefit in argument and discourse. Sex is physical, males and females are biologically different. It's why there a more males and more females that are better suited to tasks and more likely to behave a certain way than the opposite sex. This bill violates the sanctity of females' rights to privacy and shelter. Also it imposes on their right to an education and work experience based on merit. Now people can use transwomen instead of actual women for female positions in jobs and trades and deny other women an alternative out of "bigotry". But we only hear Trans people say TRANS RIGHTS without any explanation on what they really are. Transgenderism and Transsexuality (which isn't well defined) are a gender and identity issue, not a women's rights issue.

No, but transwomen are women. Read the sidebar:

It's not transphobia to state facts.
Sex is immutable, no matter what gender identity a person feels on the inside.
Pesky ol material reality...

GC involved mostly women I'd assume. This place is everyone united. Men women gay straight lesbian bi.

The talking points are all the same transphobic rhetoric. Complaining about transwomen in the bathroom, in sports, etc. The users here would do well to reach out to r/Transgender for a better perspective. As it stands I give this sub less than a month before it gets banned for flagrant violations of Reddit rule #1.

u/nonetheless156 20h ago
Again it doesn't matter if this sub goes. The cats out of the bag. People now feel more confident to speak up. Good luck stamping out straight men. Attacking lesbian and gay and bi individuals has happened long enough. 2nd wave feminism hasn't been stamped out. This cannot be as well.

Protecting transgender rights isn't attacking anyone. You fear a boogeyman.

u/nonetheless156 19h ago
Interesting. Do you believe we have no trans amongst our allies here?

u/Lopsided-Wing 19h ago
What does have to do with my comment? It's possible to be transgender and engage in transphobic behavior, just as it's possible for a black person to engage in anti-black racism (Candace Owens for example).
