The Advocate, a prominent LGBTQ+ site, begs to differ and presents this person as a "trans woman". Why should we take your word for it? We don't take kindly to gatekeepers round here.

With a definition based on self-ID there's no mechanism to exclude anyone from a given category.

But the narcissistic entitlement to invade women's spaces dripping from her every word is, in my view, deeply revealing of what swaths of the M to F crowd are really about, which is to say an aggressive men's rights movement.

Quote:

MTFs reek of male entitlement. They sound not at all like women and a lot like that which they claim to abhor.

Quote:

But being able to say that 2+2=4 is not hate. When you see a person with a dick and sexual interest in women demanding to be labeled a lesbian and let into female spaces, it can be tricky to keep a straight face.

Quote:

Calling guys with dicks "women" is an example of insane mental gymnastics but there's cultural conditioning that renders you oblivious to it.

But yeah, I'm the gatekeeper.

No, just saying we don't like gate keepers on music banter is silly. It's a forum full of gate keepers.

I mean, I don’t think this forum is full of anyone anymore.

I thought juxtaposing trans activist slang with the syntax of cowboy movie dialogue was pretty funny but I don't really expect the crowd who thought that "Soviet Catholic Foucauldian" was a real thing to get it.

As I stressed many times in the discussion on SCD, I have no interest in saying who are "real" trans people and who aren't worthy of inclusion into this coveted category. Doing so would've required me to subscribe to many of the stupidest underlying assumptions of trans activism.

The following two points stand: 1) there is no mechanism to exclude anyone out of a category based on self-ID 2) you're trying to do just that based on your perception on who "real" trans people are. There is more than one irony about this, including you actually doing "gatekeeping".

You're not really proving anything. You're just gate keeping when antisemitism matters.

Calling anybody that questions Israel antisemites while dismissing literal antisemitism as a "gotch ya" which is twice as ironic because all you ever do is try to hit people with cheap "gotch ya" moments while ignoring evidence that proves your rhetoric wrong.

A gate keeping, gotch ya throwing, antisemitism defending hypocrite.
