If Merager gets acquitted, we both know that there will be a bazillion wokies saying "YEAH! Trans rights! Suck it, TERFs!", and we both know that there will be no wokies who will spend a moment, publicly at least, pondering the fairness of a law that allows a repeat sex offender to self-identify himself into spaces where women and girls are naked and vulnerable.

Book mark this, and if I am wrong come back and throw it in my face.

Yet more evidence your brain had been rotted from too much time Online. You can find anyone saying just about anything about anything out there. Who gives a ****?

Oh and a note all the incidents on Meager's rap sheet before this actually preceded California's self-id law, which came into effect in 2019. Seems like they were quite capable of getting into women's spaces without the woke mob pushing self id laws.

Nice try, but no. I didn't ask why they *can't* protest it.  I asked why they *shouldn't* protest it.

You (and Slate, and Washington Post, and The Daily Beast, and The Guardian, and The Daily Dot, and Insider, and probably other supposedly reputable media outlets that I'm forgetting) clearly expressed the view that these women *shouldn't* have been protesting. So instead of weaseling out of it, lay that out for us.

"No one is saying those women can't protest against self-ID on demand, we're just saying that if they do they're Nazis and fascists and literally killing trans people."
  -you (and Slate, and Washington Post, and The Daily Beast, and The Guardian, and The Daily Dot, and Insider, and probably other supposedly reputable media outlets that I'm forgetting.)

Usually people use quotes to denote something people actually said, not some hobgoblin they invented.

When you hold a rally and fascists show up, maybe you should ask yourself why what you're doing appeals to fascists.

No. Concern trolling is when you and your team briefly, for a week or so in February, pretended as if you cared about women's privacy, when it was briefly useful in arguing against laws that keep dudes from competing in women's sports.  Now that that ship has sailed, you're way past pretending to care about women's privacy, and all in favor of Fucken Darren being able to self-identify into the women's changing room and showers.

(pro-tip: if a WokeBro says he cares about women's privacy, he is lying.)

Tu quoque fallacy. Stick to the point, which is you are happy to welcome far right organizations into the fold and take their money, but when the far right -ahem- just happen to show up at your events and start stabbing people, well you can't backpeddle fast enough.

I'm not concern-trolling when I complain that woke idiots keep handing right-wingers ammo to shoot them with. I don't support repealing gay rights back to the 1980s. I don't support repealing women's rights back to the 1950s. But that's what is going to happen if you guys get your way, because you guys on the far left keep pushing policies that are completely disconnected from sane people in the real world.  Woke ideology is far less popular than wokies think it is. I've talked about this in another thread. I'll bump that thread with some new material later this weekend.

I am grateful to the Justice Center for Constitutional Freedom (the right-wing religious law group) for defending the aestheticians, pro-bono, against Jessica Yaniv's vexatious HRC claims. I think that was outstanding, excellent, fantastic, amazing, tremendous, I can't find enough superlatives to put on that. And as a homosexual atheist, I hate having to applaud JCCF.

And I supported the Alliance Defending Freedom taking on the lawsuit of the female Connecticut athletes who challenged the Connecticut athletics policy that required them to compete against dudes. And as a homosexual atheist, I hate having to applaud ADF.

You're trying to draw a link between those two cases and the Proud Boys showing up uninvited at a protest. The link you're trying to draw fails. The connection you're trying to make is complete bullshit.

There is a link, you pretending that you can't see it doesn't mean it's not there.

It's funny too because there actually is a direct link between Andy Ngo the "journalist" who has been on the Wi Spa beat and the Proud Boys/Patriot Prayer goons.

And again, what you're selling here is bullshit. Your effort to equate supporting two meaningful legal efforts that had significance for women's legal rights with a bunch of goons showing up uninvited at a protest against an unjust law fails.  You're attempting a sleight of hand, and it fails.

I really can't imagine you're actually as stupid as you're acting here. Maybe you are and you genuinely can't see the link here. Here's a hint: you can't fan the flames of the culture war bullshit and then whinge when you get burned.
