My sister's take has been that since trans women don't go through the pain of menstruation or giving birth, they have no right to suggest they "earned" being a woman.

I mean that and she thinks Disney became woke and they ruined her beloved 90s films. I remember talking about Putin and how he said the most Bond villain thing with "you in the west believe history is a struggle between oppression and freedom, I see it as a struggle between chaos and order". Her take is history is a struggle between modesty and debauchery and we've gone too far in the debauchery direction.

I love her, and she can surprise me with her humor, but overall she can turn into Angela from the office, but she's not even religious.

"earning" to be a woman sounds like the female equivalent to toxic masculinity

Terfs are the equivalent to toxic masculinity ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

True that, I never thought of it that way

Toxicity is Gender Neutral 🙌

I really like this take but would argue that toxic masculinity and femininity affect society in different ways. Hmm. Toxic gender ideology maybe?

[-] lennivelkant@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 11 months ago

For sure. There are many kinds of toxicity. Toxic gasses may affect you differently than inhaling silica dust, biological neurotoxins or rigid gender norms.
