Stop this.
"We just need a third space for gender nonconforming people."
"We just need a different, additional bathroom for them, at the expense of whatever company or government owns the building."
"We just need to create a third sports team."
No, we don't. We don't need to do any of this.
Shocked? Then let me repeat it: No. We do not need to do any of this.
It was never a moral obligation on the part of businesses, governments, or passers-by on the street to "accommodate" someone's delusions. Be they "gender" delusions or the Glass Delusion, or the idea that one is Jesus Christ himself.
That was never a moral obligation on us. "Kindness" never required this kind of absurd accommodation.
Worse, your well-intended efforts to be "inclusive" are costing you and other people money, excessive emotional servicing of others, and are propping up the supremacy of trans delusions.
No. No third spaces. No extra teams. They won't use them anyway.
They don't want them.
They are lying to you when they say they have safety fears.
The truth is their goal is compromise any and all barriers and boundaries. The goal is to take from you--privacy, modesty, safety, mental equilibrium.
That is the goal. Domination.
Stop it. Stop being "kind" this way.
It's not kindness. It's collaboration.
Yes, I am officially declaring my intention to be that annoying fan who is nearly always the first to comment. You know where I live; sue me. :-P
So, OMG, yes. This ENRAGES me. I go 0 to 60 in about two seconds when I hear this shit. Why? I'm a heterosexual woman with short hair who doesn't own or wear skirts and dresses, only puts on makeup if I have to get my picture taken, decorates with Star Trek memorabilia, loves coding and mathematics, puts together LEGO sets for fun, and otherwise am considered "gender non-conforming." Why the quotes? Because the concept is itself bullshit. MEN DO NOT OWN MATHEMATICS, LEGO, STAR TREK, CODING, OR COMFORTABLE CLOTHING. Likewise, women don't own cooking, being interested in aesthetics, keeping a clean and organized living space, emotional literacy, or any of the other traits that can get men called "gender nonconforming." Men and women are different on average, but the distributions are HUGELY overlapping. I am not an unusual or "non-conforming" woman anymore than a woman who's 5'9" is "unusual" or "height non-conforming" just for being a little above average. Or any more than a man who's 5'7" is "unusual" or "height non-conforming" for being a little shorter than average. There are way too many people on this planet for such rigid boxes, and the more we categorize people as being outside of them, the more we reinforce the boxes as valid, necessary, important, etc.
You're absolutely right. The TRAs don't want these 'third' spaces. They want our spaces because they are disruptors. They want to take girls' medals and places, they want to upset women in changing rooms, they want to force people to use compelled speech with these ridiculous pronouns, they want us to say what we know to be false, the ultimate victory is to make us say that a man is a woman. When you can make someone say that, you can make them say and do anything. They revel in our discomfort and in our willingness to snap ourselves in half to accommodate them. Here in the UK there is growing pushback. The more these activists show up in the news with their increasingly aggressive behaviour and ludicrous demands, the more people are starting to wake up. And we have some politicians, sports woman and men and many feminists speaking up more and more. #no thank you.
