TGIT

Well, not thank goodness, but yes, because apparently every freaking day is Transday.

If you have been reading me on this for a while, you know that one of the primary lenses through which I see this issue, aside from the basic one of…uh, no, you can’t change sex, idiots, is in terms of the impact on and reflection of the experiences of women and girls.

I‘ve written on it quite a bit.

The three cases I have for you today – all of which I’ve written about before – are excellent examples of this, as well as of the insanity and incoherence of “gender identity.”

Because in all three, you’ll see either the recognition, rights or safety of women and girls being sacrificed for the needs and desires of males.

And as you read them – especially the first two – keep asking….why should one guy’s desires prevail over the rights and safety of women and girls?

• I wrote about “Hannah” Tubbs here. Well, he was sentenced this week.

A Los Angeles County judge on Thursday ordered Hannah Tubbs, a transgender California woman, to serve two years in a juvenile facility after she pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting a 10-year-old girl in 2014. 

Before doing so, the judge criticized far-left District Attorney George Gascon, whose office declined to prosecute the repeat offender as an adult.

Tubbs, 26, recently pleaded guilty to molesting the girl in a women’s bathroom eight years ago when Tubbs was two weeks away from turning 18. At the time of the crime, she identified as male and went by James Tubbs. She did not identify as female until after she was taken into custody, according to prosecutors.

“Tubbs is 26 years old. Unlike George Gascon’s false narrative, she is not a ‘kid,'” L.A. Deputy District Attorney Jon Hatami, assigned to the Complex Child Abuse Unit, told Fox News Digital.

 “There was evidence presented at the juvenile proceedings which showed that Tubbs sexually assaulted two young girls in different incidents in the past. The child victims will suffer lifelong trauma. Tubbs also has prior violent convictions and conduct as an adult.”

Because Tubbs began identifying as female after she was taken into custody, and Gascon refused to try her as an adult, Tubbs was sentenced to two years in a juvenile facility.  In L.A. County, juvenile facilities can house both females and males, but in separate areas. Tubbs will be housed with the females. 

Tubbs sexually assaulted a female child as a juvenile male. Now well into adulthood, he is to be housed in a juvenile facility with girls.

Literally insane. I mean…literally insane.

And a deep violation of the rights of these girls. But you know – if a dude claims he’s a girl, that’s the most important factor in a situation, isn’t it?

• Oh, Lia Thomas. Previous written about in this space here, here and here.

You will be shocked to hear this:

A member of the University of Pennsylvania women’s swim team said some team members are uncomfortable changing in the locker room with transgender swimmer Lia Thomas, according to a teammate.

Thomas, 22, who spent the previous three years swimming with the men’s team before she began transitioning to a woman, has created an uneasy environment in the locker room, as she still retains her biologically male genitalia – which are sometimes exposed – and is attracted to women, one teammate told the Daily Mail in an interview.

“It’s definitely awkward because Lia still has male body parts and is still attracted to women,” the swimmer said. Thomas has reportedly told her teammates that she dates women.

The swimmer told the outlet that other team members have spoken to the team’s coaches about possibly getting Thomas to change elsewhere from the rest of the team, but those discussions haven’t gone anywhere

“Multiple swimmers have raised it, multiple different times,” she said. “But we were basically told that we could not ostracize Lia by not having her in the locker room and that there’s nothing we can do about it, that we basically have to roll over and accept it, or we cannot use our own locker room.”

“…her male genitalia.”

Again. Literally insane.

A quick note – I must correct something I said in a previous post. I said that Thomas had been taking female hormones. No, he hasn’t. He’s been taking testosterone suppressing drugs.

So get this. I mean, just settle down and get this:

A guy who has been, you know, a guy since conception, started taking some testosterone-suppressing agents a couple of years ago, grew his hair out, still has his penis and testicles…

and we all have to bow to him and call him a woman? And women have to just scoot over and give him room to swing himself around in their presence?

No.

****And remember, that I cite these examples, not just as discrete headline-grabbers, but to continually encourage you to be brutally logical, follow the path of reason where it leads, and allow yourself to ask questions about the trans issue in general.

If you are not on board with Lia Thomas calling himself a woman and taking up a woman’s space, if you’re looking at Hannah Tubbs and thinking, opportunistic sociopath, you must ask yourself why and you must understand that contemporary trans activists are all about breaking down any biological criterion for sex determination and will accept nothing less than gender self-identification. Which means….I declare myself whatever gender, no medical, psychological or legal gatekeeping allowed and you must affirm me.

• Finally, yeah.

Or rather, no.

No.

(Note that Schneider was previously married to a woman and is presently in a relationship with a woman.)

When Caitlyn Jenner announced his inevitably doomed campaign for California governor, I wondered if he won (which I new he wouldn’t, but you know, thought experiment), if he’d be heralded as California’s first woman governor. I mean…given the times, how could he not?

Again, this is not headline-picking for a slow Friday.

This issue is presented to us overwhelmingly, in terms of emotion, using the vaguest of definitions, along with hand-waving, gaslighting and manipulation.

Resist. Keep asking the hard, but simple question: What makes Tubbs, Thomas and Schneider “women?”

And then perhaps, Why should society, and especially women’s spaces, restructure themselves to accommodate these men’s desires?

(Reminder why I don’t use “preferred” pronouns.)
