I'm glad you've decided the social experience of every trans-woman for her. That makes sense.

How does anything you just said preclude trans-women in the women's division? Again, they have the same social and cultural barriers, and are entitled to the same space. The only reason to disagree, is if you don't believe they're women. If that's the case, say it with your chest.

I would love to have access to such an organization. Unfortunately, they don't advertise, if they exist, and I'm too poor to found one.

No, it isn't. It's so women can enter the game without the pressure of going into a tournament setting mostly dominated by men. A trans-woman being in the women's tournament does not compromise that unless you don't think trans-woman are women. Being born male does not impact one's ability to compete in chess, just the accessibility of a competition dominated men. If you're already in the women's space, then that issue is entirely moot. A trans-woman faces the same social barrier to competing, and is entitled to the same protected space.

The only argument against that is if you don't really think trans-woman are women.

"The US violated their neighbors' sovereignty, why shouldn't Russia do the same?"

What if imperialism is bad when anyone does it?

How does a trans-woman's socialization compromise competitive integrity? That's an entirely internal problem, and it doesn't affect any other competitors. This is really just grabbing for any excuse to be transphobic.

Being trapped by a job does not sound like a life of comfort. Leaving my job would mean being flat broke in two weeks and then starving. If you work paycheck to paycheck, you literally cannot afford to risk your lifestyle to resist.

Why do you keep posting this? Your problem isn't with people looking at naked pictures or lewd stories, it's with exploitation. That's a capitalist problem, not a porn one. Are you suggesting that in cases of capitalist exploitation we ban the exploited industry instead of regulating the capitalists?

Next page in this playbook is fixing disproportionate domestic violence against women by beating men, and fixing disproportionate institutional racism by arresting more white men on bullshit charges. I think the underlying problems will just find a new outlet.

(not who you replied to) We can be anti-zionists without being pro-Iran. They have a horrific history of human rights abuses. Their sovereignty is being violated, but their government is not a good one.

Les Mis does not depict the second French Revolution, but the June Rebellion years earlier.

You should read Butler's "Who's Afraid of Gender?"

 

The calligrapher's guild pages were very informative. My name is Erin (pictured top), and my fiancée will remain anonymous.
