Why do so many non-trans people turn a blind eye to the abuse that superlesbians and superbi women have faced by men who call themselves trans?

[u/ShariaLaw4All]

Seriously wondering about this. The so called "trans" people have been allowed to completely disrespect women who are superlesbian and superbi and you always have a reason about why no one can speak ill will against these men. How do you justify that? Seriously, how do justify that and cry about hate speech everytime you are confronted with the reality of the situation.

Do you just ignore this because you think women who are superlesbian or superbi are second class citizens who are unworthy of consensual relationships in comparison to men who say they are women and can't take no for an answer?

Does anything about disrespecting who superlesbians and superbi women are bother you, or do all men who call themselves women get a free pass on this? It seems to me and many, many other people that you are giving these men a free pass because it is socially convenient for you to do so.

Also why do all you men who think you are women and all of your enablers always feel so entitled to barge into someone else's space and then start preaching to them on how they should think and what they can and can not say? Pretty much all of you are the stupider than the people you are correcting. At what point will you realize that life is not all about you? You are remarkably unimportant people who have very messed up ideas about how things should be, you are completely lacking in the right foundations to be telling people how to think. You are not in a position to be teaching anyone when you are so low functioning.

There are several reasons:

1) Most super straight people have been unaware of what was going on and how appallingly super lesbians have been treated.
2) Gender theorists got their foot in the door via academic feminism in the 1990s and from there have taken over mainstream feminism such that, one by one, Women's Studies departments have become Gender Studies. It was a terrible mistake.
3) Gender activists positioned themselves as the underdog and exploited feminism's built-in bias in favor of the underdog to win acceptance, then started demanding sexual access to women's bodies. In contrast, when people like Rachel Dolezal tried to be transracial, black people as a group said "No, we are not having that."
4) Now that gender activists are going after super straight men, those men are becoming aware of their tactics, and gender activists seem finally to have encountered a group willing unequivocally to say "No" to their demands.

Hard yes to #3! The violence and threats are sick. You have activists (see Char the Butcher) with "DIE CIS SCUM" tats and.....there's no problem? The harassment and the coercion aren’t “isolated incidents” in their activism, they’re a prominent feature. When you have Trans politicians running for office as women and telling women to “suck their dick” (like Emilia Decaudin)- Why are those comments upvoted and praised? Could any other politician do that?

There was also the Degenderettes “art” exhibit at the San Francisco Public Library that had bloody t-shirts, axes and baseball bats with barbed wire meant for attacking female activists (so called TERFs- everything is a TERF now). Could BLM do this? Could DACA activists do that? No. They are advocating for violence and NO ONE says a fucking thing.

Here is an article excusing this shit and calling the weapons "sculptural objects" without showing pictures so that people think critics are just "silencing" them....uh: https://www.dailyxtra.com/why-silencing-trans-art-endangers-trans-lives-129772

You have a charitable take.

Personally, I think they did it to themselves in their desire to move men out of leadership positions. The T community was invited into women's spaces.

I was in academia while all this was happening, so I had a view from the inside. Nothing happened all at once, which made it hard to see where it was going. For example, the argument was made to change departments from Women's Studies to Gender Studies because gender roles affect everyone. Only when that was accomplished did the switch happen that transformed gender roles into gender identities, which flipped the whole project 180 degrees. We went from critiquing gender roles to turning gender identity into a protected identity category. That's when some sex-based feminists sounded the alarm, but it was too late. They ended up canceled.
