You didn't address the fact government called mothers birthing persons to avoid offending transgender women. If that isn't cancel culture of the worst kind, one officially sanctioned by the U.S. government, I don't know what is.


Not JKR made up. The U.S. government OFFICIAL pronouncement.


Who is denying transgender people are discriminated against everywhere? But does that change the fact calling mothers birthing persons is an incredible cancelation of 50% of humanity to avoid offending 1%?

How is calling mothers birthing persons cancelation of womenhood ? Is our only characteristic being able to birth children? What about biological women who are not able to give birth or older women who can’t give birth anymore? Shouldn’t be viewed as people without being tied to our able to reproduce?

😆 Now you're trying to say it is not an insult to women to call them menstruating persons to please transwomen? Or that it is not an insult to mothers, all of who happen to be biological women, to take away their title only to please a very small minority?


And you're deflecting, trying to say because women have other capabilities, they shouldn't be insulted by this cancelation of a power that is uniquely theirs.


Oh, yeah, by the U.S. government.


And then some claim it is fear mongering. Nope, nothing to see here. We just canceled mothers. But nothing at all to see.


Best part is none of it will actually improve the conditions of Trans people. It's performance virtue without actually putting in any hard work.

Serve yourself...while you're at it, google all the national chains that have banned the "Merry Christmas" greeting as well in 'Merica.

And I still couldn’t find one proof of Merry Christmas greeting being banned in America . Your only source seems to be fear-mongering right wingers . I rest my case .

You've clearly been living under a rock, if you infact live in the US ....considering you've never heard of the Happy Holidays controversy. There was a massive boycott of Macy's & Bloomingdale's. It was so major, Trump used it as one of his talking points to gain votes.


Since you don't like to do any legwork...here's a link for you..

Power over whom ? It’s sad that when we are striving for equality we are still tying our inherent value on motherhood and ability to reproduce .No I don’t find it an insult to be called menstruating person. Also, there is lot more to worry out there especially when women are still struggling against patriarchy to be outraged at a government term intended to be more inclusive.

I have heard of it and it is fear mongering tactic to rile up a certain base . Christmas songs are played on Macy’s and you can still shop Christmas items ( Never been to Bloomingdale ). Also that article you linked proves that it was used as fear-mongering by Trump .

Welp . Looks like that was only temporary for Walmart . Still not enough to prove there is cancelation of Christmas.

( The NYT article is paywalled that’s why only responding to the Snopes thing ).

Nope. The ability to be a mother is not ALL of a woman's capabilities, but it is uniquely that of biological women.


The irony of the feminism card being used to cancel the one human power that is uniquely female! That of giving birth.


And no answer to the question how it improves the state of Trans people anywhere.

(Sorry, edited this because I read too quickly and read it as a slur)


I just gave you one link. If you actually want to make a good faith effort to look, there's plenty of other evidence from the late 90s to 2000s. People objected to Christmas being canceled, and since the stores needed them to spend their money, the stores backtracked.


You claimed it didn't exist.
