Transnegation Roundup/2020/09

• 2020-09-02 numerous comments on 'Star Trek: Discovery' Makes Franchise History With First Trans, Non-Binary Characters (archive.org has some which were removed)
  • "In space is the best place for transickos / Off this planet Is a start. / Vile things."
  • "Star Trek has been completely taken over by these freaks."
  • "Can we get some decent scripts instead of trans propaganda?"
  • "It’s ironic that these two nuts are on a science fiction show because science supports neither one of them." -- except it does
  • "The trans cult is trying to erase women and take away single sex spaces."

• 2020-09-03 08:41 @BluskyeAllison “1/ This has been one of the most depressing 24 hours I’ve ever had on Gender Critical Twitter. / To be clear: every woman & girl must know that their sex-based rights will disappear if they do not pay attention & join this struggle.”
  • To someone not familiar with the vocabulary, this undoubtedly comes across as someone sincerely concerned about women's rights. The combination of "gender critical" plus "sex-based rights", however, is a pretty clear indication that she's talking about trans people.
  • The fact that she doesn't say anything overtly offensive, yet is also (if you know what she's talking about) clearly taking a strong stand against rights for trans people, leaves us with an intense feeling of being attacked and yet with nothing obvious to refute. strategic ambiguity
  • The intense emotion expressed ("one of the most depressing 24 hours I’ve ever had", "rights will disappear if they do not pay attention & join this struggle") only adds to the sense of danger.
  • My retweet goes into a bit more depth.

If you’d like to learn more about the history of forced ‘breeding,’ here is a great thread:” - which provides no evidence of trans women taking cis women captive, for "breeding" purposes or anything else.
  • links to 2020-09-03 02:57 @crimeofcupid “in wake of the whole "trans-woman breeding gender critical women" tweet, i would like to make a thread that directs attention to the very real cases of women being "bred". / 14 thai women rescued from a "breeding farm":” - thread does not appear to mention trans people, beyond the initial post; other than providing evidence for human breeding farms, the connection is unclear.
