So the difference you see is on the current societal consensus? In my mind, the consideration of for example, certain authors of being racist as in their current societal consensus is more like an understatement of them being shaped by their society, not and endorsement of their racism. So yeah, and I said this as just a statement without intention to insult, I don't see much difference between some racist 70 years ago, and yourself right now.
- Moodles 5y agoThe only rationale behind segregating blacks from whites was racism. This joker is trying to say it's the same for segregating trans women and biological women, but it's obviously not. For example, maybe (and this might blow the woke people's minds) trans women aren't exactly the same as biological women in sports? So segregation makes sense to protect the majority of women. There's plenty of other scenarios where allowing people to arbitrarily move between genders might have negative externalities on members of a gender. Those are concerns (not even getting into the debate of whether they're legitimate concerns or not), that have nothing to do with an irrational fear or hatred of trans people. But the woke would just love to frame the debate that way: you only possible way you can disagree is if you're the same as a racist. And to that, I say fuck off.
