whenever ppl are discoursing and their only major point is "but then X will do bad thing to Y!!!" understand that 99% of the time, 'X' is already doing that bad thing to 'Y' and theyre just using marginalized people for fear tactics to garner support from ppl who dont have knowledge on said topic at hand.
"if we let trans women use womens bathrooms men will dress as women and assault us in the bathroom!!"
men already assault women and get away with it on a horrifically conatant basis, they dont need to pretend to be trans to do that.
"if we accept neopronouns/neogenders, therians, and other gender weirdo's people will mock us and not take us seriously!!"
they already dont take us seriously and never have, this proves furthermore that the 'gender weirdos' are a vulnerable portion of our community we have failed in aiding. solidarity not segregation.
"if we defund and abolish the police then noone will stop crime!!"
people already commit crimes and cops do a pretty bad job at stopping it when it actually needs to be stopped (murder, rape, trafficking, mega-rich tax evasion, predators, right-wing terrorists etc)
"if we accept mspec lesbians then men will think they can have sex with or date lesbians!!"
again, men already do this and have been doing it for centuries. disregarding a huge chunk of our lesbian history and present because you refuse to see past your terf-bespeckled worldview is sad and dangerous to these very real people whom are apart of our community, eternally tethered.
