Thank you Mr. Menno for speaking up on behalf of gays, lesbians and women:)
Mr. Menno is a gay man who represents the LGB Alliance, which is pushing back against misogyny disguised as transgenderism (aka woman face) amongst some of the more aggressive pushes to acquire access to women’s spaces.
In this episode, he describes speaking out against hate speech at an event. He calls out the previous speakers who listed all the people not welcome at this ‘inclusive’ event, which included ‘religious people and TERFs (trans exclusionary radical feminists.)
Apparently after the event at a nearby bar, he started chanting ‘lesbians don’t have penises,’ at which time he realized a lot of other people have problems with some of the more ‘rigorous demands’ of the masculine-presenting men who have claimed ‘womanhood.’ Or ‘girlhood’ in the case of one recent YouTube man who is amassing huge social clout by wearing woman face and reinforcing shallow stereotypes about women, insisting he be recognized as ‘one of us’ while shoving unwanted tampons in our faces and making bizarre jokes about being hot enough to steal our husbands.
These problematic demands include an insistence that since they are ‘real’ women from the moment the thought first comes into their head, or at least from the legal point of view where their claim is as good as set in stone in some districts, due to the fact of mandates being put in place to prevent professionals from second-guessing someone else’s ‘identity,’ regardless of their age, influences or mental health status. In some problematic areas, gender-affirming clinics will affirm whatever someone thinks they feel like at that moment in time, even if the person is a child. Therefore men feel they have a right to demand access to women’s ‘safe spaces’ (such as locker rooms, prisons and rape crisis centers) because they’ve been ‘affirmed’ by professionals who will not or cannot be honest about this person’s actual biological reality. And women either don’t see the danger for women’s safe spaces to be eroded, or they still feel like second-class citizens and therefore are afraid to speak up in defense of safe space rights women just earned a few decades ago.
Btw, the housing of men in women’s prisons is in direct violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, which, among other things, legally protects the safety of female prison inmates from sexual assault, rape and potential pregnancy.
To those of you who don’t think this is happening, or is rarely happening, please refer to my SB 132 posting, which describes the 47 men currently residing in women’s prisons, and the other 351 on a wait list when spaces open up, and this is just California alone.
Also, a very peculiar and disturbing lack of data collection is occurring, which you can see in that bill, where any incidents of sexual violence that occur at the women’s prison are not tracked based on biological status, but rather gender identity. In other words, an uptick of rape events, after importing men identifying as women into the women’s prison, will be tracked as ‘women on women’ violence. So we will never really know how this inhumane experiment will end. Hear no evil, see no evil, touch no evil” is an awesome environment for evil to thrive, as men who have every incentive to be housed in women’s prison spend endless hours strategizing how to be next in line to making that happen.
