And you are happy to let scores of talented people walk by and drift away because you fail to understand that well-kept gardens die by pacifism.

You're right that you're not a hall monitor though. You're worse, actually, because you are actually committing a good deal of the harassment of real people yourself. You have in these very comments. You're bullying people away and pretending that this is better than preventing someone from entering their own well-kept garden.

Yes, bullying people that want to censor others is good. As long as I'm not preventing them from contributing, there's nothing wrong with calling them and their views stupid. If they decide to contribute to a project I'm involved in they may, I do not care who they are. That's what's important

You (attempted to) tell a trans woman that they weren't a real woman. That's not anything to do with censorship or anything "noble," that's just transphobia and you're just a bully. Fuck off, dude.

I am not a trans woman. midnight2 ASS-umed my gender identity based on my stance on this issue.

They are still a transphobe though.

That's what I was attempting to get at with my (attempted to) but I def could have phrased that better.

Yes I am proudly transphobic. Oh no your declaration of heresy had no effect!

Me too. Or rather, I'm proudly in favour of supporting women and girls who need single-sex female-only spaces, proudly in objection to harmful "gender-affirming" cosmetic treatments for children, and stand proudly against the enforced and controlled speech that gender believers wish to impose upon all of society. If that makes me a "transphobe" then so be it.

My advice? Continue crying about it

A 'trans woman' is a type of man though. All of them are male, by definition.

Only if you have nonsensical and sexist beliefs like 'a woman is anyone who says they are a woman' or 'a woman is anyone who performs femininity' or 'a woman is anyone feminine enough for me to be sexually attracted to them' would you think that these men are women.

The rest of us live in the real world where we understand women to be female and men to be male.

Wild accusations of transphobia are losing their impact, these days it means more to the accuser than the accused. It's like a Christian calling an atheist 'heretic'. No big deal really.
