I worry that TERF just shuts down discussion, and at least some of those discussions are worth having

I don't worry too much what cis men think on this topic, but thanks for explaining.

The discussion worth having here is why people want to give legitimacy to fallacious arguments and ‘debate’ the gender identities of vulnerable minorities.https://twitter.com/irisvanrooij/status/1019338557247447040?s=21 …

Hey
@PsychScientists please listen to Olivia and Iris on this. Jack H/lberstam and other TERFs use that kind of rhetoric to erase NB folks all the time. It’s fundamentally dehumanizing to speak about NB folx in the way the article does.1 reply 1 retweet 6 likes -
I’ll absolutely take this on board. I’m very much not looking to be a dick here. I have some concerns about some bandwagons, but I’m mostly interested in not harming anyone

So, I find this bit is key. The rad-fem argument that gender is the social construction isn’t wrong. That’s literally how they defined the word so as to use it in specific political ways 1/a couple

I think you are missing the ‘invalidating’ part here, and I feel you are going along with harmful rhetoric. If rad fem really believed that gender were a mere social construction they would have no notion if ‘real women’ to reserve for cis women.

Yes, of course. TERFs immediately will turn a debate on gender (when discussing trans women) as being the same as penis = male. That is not social AT ALL.

Exactly. I’m just so puzzled that the inconsistencies in reasoning are not apparent.
