When the “woke” mania swept the country in 2020, I took a step back and reevaluated where I stood and why I stood there. To my surprise, I found that I agreed with conservatives and libertarians on a number of issues. I opposed childhood gender transitions, unlawful and divisive DEI mandates, and the excesses of Critical Race Theory. I argued against biological males competing in women’s sports and being housed in women’s prisons. I did so loudly and publicly, losing many friends along the way. My stance wasn’t rooted in hate or fear but in a commitment to reason and fairness. My loyalty was to the truth, not to political tribes. Maintaining my integrity cost me greatly, but I believed it was worth it.
“My stance wasn’t rooted in hate or fear…”
Bullshit. Fuck you
If you read her drivel its clear she’s still a hateful cunt she just wants sympathy from the people she turned her back on.
I say again…
FUCK YOU BITCH
Dear Lemmy, why always so bro? Don’t upvote this trash. Misogyny is not the solution. This comment section is gross AF.
Can we just have all gendered bathrooms and co-ed sports already? Like Jesus fuck they’re killing people in the street
People only ever propose co-ed sports when trans people are brought up. It’s a thought-terminating cliche and a reliable indicator that the speaker hasn’t seriously considered why sports are gendered in the first place.
Real ally: Trans women are women. They belong in women’s sports because there is zero scientific evidence of trans women having any advantage over cis female athletes. Fears that they have an advantage are just bigoted gut-level stereotypes assuming that trans women are biological men.
Performative ally: Let’s move to co-ed sports!
fuck you bitch
Which I certainly won’t be doing and you shouldn’t either.
She would try though because I’m transfem and pass better than her lol
*Downvote me all ya want I’m pretty and i know it. If you don’t think at least some of this person’s hatred of trans people is jealousy you’re lying to yourself
This woman is talking herself up. Better put her back in her place
… Downvoting this shitty comment is what oppression looks like to you…?
Don’t put words in my mouth, dipshit
God forbid you consider the real reason you’re being downvoted. But you won’t get anymore downvotes from me since I won’t be seeing any more of your shitty comments or posts.
I’m being downvoted because I said I’m attractive. Does that sound reasonable to you?
Fuck off
Nah you are being downvoted for building yourself up by tearing her down. You called her mannish.
They’re not turning on you, they were always against you, you were just too dumb to see it
The fact that she’s allowed to vote, choose who she married or not, and is allowed to date women is the woke wave she must hate
I dunno - progressive where it benefits her and fuck everyone else is a pretty typical conservative stance.
TERFs aint that bright
When the “woke” mania swept the country in 2020,
Eyeroll. Can already tell this person is an idiot.
Is it woke to not be a bigot?
What did you expect? You can’t sit with us anymore. You chose your hateful side, so enjoy it.
Yet, the implications are deeply troubling. We could return to a system where some states honor same-sex marriages, while others don’t — a legal patchwork that could severely constrain LGBT rights and upend the decades of work leading up to Obergefell. As a 29-year-old lesbian engaged to be married, this turn of events is personal for me. And it may be one I helped contribute to.
“It wasn’t important until it affected me!”
The author of this article is Reid Newton. She is a gullible idiot and apparently needs to earn her rights to know their value. She has no reverence for value or the struggle and work of those before her to accomplish recognition.
She’s a fucking idiot. And definitely unqualified to talk on half of the shit her profile says she does.
God I remember this dipshit. Racist transphobic piece of shit. I guarantee if they strike down Obergefell, she’ll jump back onboard to repeal Loving.
The leopards are equal opportunity face munchers.
the excesses of Critical Race Theory
Lol. Fuck off.
My stance wasn’t rooted in hate or fear but in a commitment to reason and fairness. My loyalty was to the truth, not to political tribes.
Keep telling yourself that.
“Ultimately, I don’t regret my decision. I worked toward what I believed — and still believe — to be true. I still oppose radical gender ideology and Critical Race Theory in schools. I still believe that biological males shouldn’t compete in women’s sports or be housed in women’s prisons. But I will not stand by while LGBT rights are legislated away.”
oh brother
So racist and transphobic. Typical conservative.
When discussing conservative women, it sure would be nice if all you “leftists” would remember that this isn’t the opportunity to air your misogyny. Thank you.
Haven’t seen any in the comments, but thanks for the heads up I guess
Are there any examples of that here?
Conservative women are repulsive because of their black, black hearts. Not because of misogyny. Hope this helps! Signed, Feminist
Are you complaining about some specific instance, or are you one of those miserable people who pre-complain everywhere and all the time?
