It never happens. A thread.
Many must be familiar with "it never happens". When you bring up women having concerns about Self ID and allowing potentially abusive males to have access to female spaces and that it will lead to violence or worse "It never happens".

When evidence is shows "It never happens" MAY turn into "It's an isolated incident" before defaulting back to "It never happens" for the next time the argument crops up. This complete apathy for a very real concern is deliberate. It's framed as if having these concerns...
makes a woman illogical. Because "Trans Women are Women" it's just another woman being excluded. Not an intact male, not just any male who decides to identify as a woman. I've watched women point out the percentage of sexual abusers who "transition" to be in women's prison.
I've seen them told they're being hysterical, that they're endangering trans people. The argument is very clever, they frame it as an attack on what most people think of as trans people ie someone who has transitioned completely. They never frame it as some...
bloke with a beard, a cock and balls and a history of wrongdoing. "IT NEVER HAPPENS". So recently something very interesting happened on Twitter. I saw @helenstaniland responding to a post

My answer was simple "Things that didn't happen". And would you believe it the outrage was palpable. How dare I doubt the word of this obviously genuine person? Even though when a trans person is shoved in a toilet it seems to make the news I was being truly offensive.
This outrage coming from people who do nothing but belittle women for not wanting males in their space. For not centering males in their feminism. For not just doing as they're told. Abuse overlooked online and in real life, explained away, made "okay" because
They're just being mean to "TERFS". Each and every one of the people responding to my post with outrage farming can go and fuck themselves. Each and every one can shove their bullshit outrage up their arse. You selective, abusive fuckwits.
If you're presented with actual evidence of threats and worse and brush it aside you don't get to scream and shout about people being terrible if they don't believe a very shonky claim on Twitter in the expectation you'll be taken seriously. It's all just more appropriation.
