Where I live right wingers have made repeated cuts to welfare. I've noticed that anti SJW people almost never talk about the way many disabled people are categorized as "burdens" and "parasites" or how people get by when needing additional support. What is it about people thinking there's more than 2 genders that is more important than the way money is affecting people's lives the world over? Just recently a person with a condition who I know was denied an organ transplant because they didn't want to waste funds on someone "like that". I've noticed that people who never shut up about feminists/feminism often don't actually care about "men" as individual human beings, but rather collectively within the whole anti feminist narrative. They will complain all day about some guy who got screwed over in a court situation, but that same guy could become disabled, sick, become a drug addict, and he'd be chucked into the undesirables pile. I know some people may deny, but often, the reason why people throw around "autism" and "Down syndrome" as insults is because they see people like that as subhuman to begin with.
Speaking of anti feminist attitudes, it's bizarre that many people who hate feminists/feminism will suddenly put all that aside when they hear a feminist being shitty and petty to a trans person. It's pretty creepy that such a huge issue can be made about the over the top ideas some feminists have (as well as outright male bashing and hatred), only to then sweep that aside and unite with their intolerance to trans people. I don't know any trans people, but what I'd like to know is, why should I care? Even with people who believe there's multiple genders, why does that matter? I've seen some people make the excuse that it's about freedom of speech, but that's not true. If that were true it would be fine since I don't think people's pronoun preferences should have anything to do with law, but most instances of talking about different genders and pronouns, as far as I've seen, don't have anything to do with law and free speech, someone just has to be trans, or say they think there's more than 2 genders, and that's enough for other people to start bitching. What is it I'm supposed to be worried about? Especially since it's only been over the past few years that the whole trans thing has come into the limelight in a way it never did before, it hasn't had the chance to find footing really. Why should I be bothered if a guy wants me to call him she? The only thing I don't like is when children are rushed into adopting a definite "identity" regarding gender.
