And just to round out the previous thoughts, it’s rude and unnecessary to trawl after trans people and tell them “you are a man, you look like a dude.” I don’t do that and I don’t like it when others behave this way. But it’s not qualitatively, morally or intellectually different from people who told me on one of my videos that I have Yeti hair. Yes, I do have Yeti hair. And yes, somebody like Brianna Wu is absolutely a man. But it’s rude to say that to a person. Both things are equally rude and unnecessary. They are not, however, “phobic” and they shouldn’t merit any form of persecution.
If we could have all agreed on this reasonable, moderate view a long time ago, wouldn’t that be great? Now, I’m afraid, it’s too late because any person on the right thinks, “whenever I give an inch, you immediately demand a mile, so I won’t give the inch because that will make things worse for me.” And it’s true. It’s as if we agreed not to tell me I have Yeti hair to my face, and then I immediately demanded that anybody who doesn’t loudly proclaim I’m the world’s greatest beauty should be hounded and incarcerated.
Brianna Wu, by the way, says exactly this, begging trans people to stop overplaying their hand because they’ve made everything worse for quiet, reasonable trans people who only want to be left in peace.
The game Brianna Wu is playing is in many ways more dangerous. It criticizes the extremes but reaffirms the premise. That way you get to oppose childhood transitions, but accept adult ones as fine. And then it becomes just one more identity category in the marvel-universe lineup of protected civil rights characters. And then they get to have the state’s power unleashed against you for “discrimination” or “misgendering.”
When he says “don’t overplay your hand” that’s a tell. What he really means is: don’t act too crazy or it’ll slow us down in getting all the legal goodies. Be patient, play the long game.

This is exactly the playbook gays adopted in the 90s. Andrew Sullivan, editor of the new republic, made the famous and influential case for gay marriage, the argument being that gays were just like straights and wanted a quiet life of dignity as legally married people. Also, lack of gay marriage killed 300,000 gays via AIDS, and so we must have gay marriage to “prevent it happening again.”
All the while he was bug-chasing (literally pursuing male hookers with AIDS). Got AIDS. He promised gay marriage would put an end to all the promiscuous behavior, all the STDs.

lol, well, what’s more extreme, wanting to having sex with HIV-ridden men or carving out a flesh tube from your penis that you call a vagina? There are no “quiet, reasonable trans people who only want to be left in peace.” That premise needs to be outrightly rejected! Don’t fall for Brianna Wu’s bullshit.

PooeaterSupreme, the head of the society for coprophage rights by the way, says exactly this, begging poo-eaters to stop overplaying their hand because they’ve made everything worse for quiet, reasonable poo-eaters who only want to be left in peace.
