The difference is that criticism of an ideology, policy or specific behaviour isn’t the same as claiming every trans person is guilty of it. But pointing out that sex matters in safeguarding, healthcare or single-sex spaces isn’t a generalisation about trans people. It’s an argument about policy and material differences. Address the actual argument, not a straw man.

Things that are not genocide: -- When a man seeks to join a woman's rugby team and is told he cannot join because he is a man but is eligible to join the team corresponding to his sex. -- When a man is told he cannot use the ladies changing room but must use the changing room that corresponds to his sex. -- When a male murderer who says he is a woman is told he must remain in a prison with other men rather than be transferred to a women's prison based on his claim to be a woman. -- When the state declines to pay for a man's castration -- When the state declines to pay for a man's mandibular reconstruction surgery. -- When a passport or driver's license lists the material fact of a man's sex instead of his private reverie to be a woman -- When a person remains free to refer to the material fact of a person's sex rather than being coerced by state power into joining in a person's attempted falsification of this fact -- When a 9-year old child is judged ineligible to be prescribed an off-label cancer drug in order to freeze him in a pre-pubertal state so as to better mimic the appearance of a member of the opposite sex Not only are none of these acts genocidal, none of them violate any right that any person has. If they were granted, as they have been in many states, they would simply be discretionary entitlements being handed out by the state to a legally privileged caste of person at the expense of the rights of others. Where they are being removed, it is simply a reversion to a status quo without a legally privileged caste being rewarded with special rights that come at the expense of the rights and finances of others. Glad to clear this confusion up, guys -- I expect you will now desist from claiming that you are victims of a genocide when you are not victims of rights violation of any kind.
Some left wing Democrats in the US are finally backing away from the madness and saying radical things like “women deserve their own sports” or “taxpayers shouldn’t pay for plastic surgery in prisons”. Let’s check in on the Bluey place and see how they are taking this:

Today is apparently "Intersex Awareness Day," and a writer at the Trevor Project chose to honor people with developmental conditions by...lying about the nature and prevalence of their conditions for political gain. The article just regurgitates the same tired arguments that have been thoroughly debunked many times, such as that "sex" refers to a collection of traits, that so-called "intersex" conditions are "as common as red hair" (1-2%), and that people with these conditions are not classifiable as male or female. Lying to people about the nature and prevalence of their developmental condition does not help or support them. It exploits them. I'm not going to write a formal response, because I've already debunked these arguments countless times. So I'll just leave you with a link to my most recent scholarly article on the topic: "Why There Are Exactly Two Sexes." 🔗link.springer.com/article/10…

📣 NEW CAMPAIGN! 📣 Introducing the Women’s Rights Network Red Flag Campaign: Retail Millions of women and girls are being put at risk of sexual crimes in mixed-sex changing rooms. Our new Red Flag Campaign Retail focuses on the safety of women and girls in high street stores and supermarkets. Mixed-sex changing rooms attract sexual predators looking for easy access to women and girls in a state of undress. Our research in Leisure Centres found that 86-100% of sexual crimes in leisure centre changing rooms occurred in mixed-sex facilities. (Our leisure centre research is published on our website.) Now we are turning our attention to the dangers of high street changing rooms. 🚩🚩🚩 Women and girls are experiencing voyeurism, illicit photography, even sexual assault, because retailers have abandoned single-sex changing rooms in favour of ‘inclusive’ mixed-sex changing facilities. Retailers have a duty of care to their customers and we say denying women the privacy, dignity and safety of a single-sex changing room is a dereliction of their duty to keep us safe on their premises. 1/3

Women have spent centuries fighting to be protected from male violence. Now we're being told to dismantle those protections on the promise that self-identification changes the equation. Prove it. Show us the evidence that male-pattern violence decreases and female boundaries are respected. Women are not your social experiment.

Australia is an unserious country.
Australia’s sex discrimination commissioner has confirmed in senate estimates that men who claim to be women are covered by breastfeeding protections in the sex discrimination act.

I found it hard to believe this could be true. But it is, of course telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2…
💔Women and girls are not pulled out of Afghanistan earthquake rubble because men won’t touch them. Afghan women cant be doctor and cant go to male doctor and Afghan women dont have rights to learn. What are these meassges to world?

“I wish it didn’t exist” says a reporter talking about Tesla’s FSD. What a dumb thing to say about a technology that will make the roads safer for everyone.
COLUMN | The first and worst part of the week was being invited to sit in a Tesla Cybercab, a vehicle – I can’t call it a car – with no steering wheel and no pedals, painted in Trump Gold, which is likely to be running a Tesla Robotaxi service on Sydney’s streets by this time next year. Stephen Corby has more: bit.ly/3WpKfIt
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Tesla’s Cybercab is gold as a futuristic NYC yellow cab, per designer Franz von Holzhausen (2024). Musk called it a “golden era of transport,” with no Trump link. x.com/elonmusk/statu… teslamagz.com/tesla/robotaxi…

The RBA’s intention by increasing interest rates is to decrease aggregate demand by causing Australians to have less money to borrow and spend. The hope is that this will decrease demand side inflation. The governments approach is opposite, they are increasing demand by spending like drunken sailors. And they are spending our money while at the same time increasing taxation. Basically, the Australian government is eating the Australian public’s lunch, and they are going for our dinner as well. news.com.au/finance/money/bu…

Lidia Thorpe was going on about racism again today like turning the back on welcome to country. She says Sue Lines copied One Nation into a response to a complaint letter she sent with Payman and Faruqi about Pauline Hanson who they refer to as the "perpetrator". She storms out as the response is presented that shows this was not the case. So weird.

Very proud to be part of this documentary about the absolute madness of transgender ideology in Australia. So many harrowing stories told by brave people who simply refused to go along with an obvious lie. Everyone needs to know what is really going on:

Grocery stores aren’t designated single-sex spaces. So why would there be any conflict? Do you people never think before you tweet?

The media is blaming male crimes on women. This man is convicted sex offender and when you need to protect your children from him, you won't know to look for a man because the media calls him a "woman." That's why lying about human sex is so harmful to the public. 🚫 #trans

She's absolutely right. First it was The Red Pill, then came the incels. When that died out, men started larping as women and got an incredible amount of praise and support for doing so. These men now have incentive to pretend to be something they're not. It's a huge power trip.
Because a certain kind of man believes that not getting everything he wants from women is oppression. This applies both to incels and to the type of trans-identified man who insists that speech, laws and physical spaces should be reconfigured around his self-image.
