After years of toeing the Gender Critical line on how “biology matters”, Buck now goes The Full TRA and demands that we respect her pronouns and call her a man or else she will get you thrown off Twitter.
Let’s be real for a moment, Buck: you perform porn with your vagina but you’re going to demand that we view you as a man?
Doesn’t “biology matter”?
And your solidarity is dependent on subservience to your particular ideology and will be withdrawn if we do not comply with compelled “wrong speak” that many of us reject on principle?
This is compelled speech. What was once considered a “polite request” is now being demanded with a threat behind it. No longer a simple “politeness” but a forced lie that you want the rest of us blindly obey without question.
Exactly how are you an ally, especially a pornographer who once boasted of giving the wrong sex hormones to an 8 year old girl?
Aren’t you the person who wrote this?
What you failed to understand about the Gender Critical movement is that you don't get to dictate how others perceive you, and you don't get to make them lie.
You aren’t me, Buck - a man. You will never be me and, frankly, if you had any moral authority to speak out against Trans Rights Activism you would detransition immediately and start speaking out against it as a woman.
If you stopped taking testosterone right now you would revert back to being a woman - this is how much of a man you are not because I don’t have to take pills everyday to maintain my male presence.
Men (adult human males) like me don’t have to.
I thought you agreed with J.K. Rowling’s defense of biological sex so when we refer to you as a woman are we not upholding and defending biological sex as well? You even acknowledge that you’re biologically female.
And aren’t you the woman who wrote this?
Gender Criticals don't take these linguistic choices lightly and have good reasons for not using preferred pronouns. The use of preferred pronouns has lead directly to a culture in which it is acceptable to have males in women’s prisons and sports. Not using them is not done out of hate or disrespect and if you don't understand that, you need to knock it the fuck off and grow up.
Demand all you want but, at the end of the day, you have no control over how the rest of us perceive you. Your belief that you’re a man is not universally accepted by everyone and it never was.
Wow this is an eye opening. Early on in my peakening I thought she was a good and gender critical person concerned for the safety of women and children. I even shared her stuff (although other terfs did try to dissuade me). I guess she's pumped full of testosterone which is going to make her aggressive and a bit mad. I'd have thought she'd understand about autogynephilia, too. Mind you one or two of Gender Dysphoria Alliance didn't - even though they did an amazing interview with Lisa Shupe AGP - from which I learned a lot.
I never bought the act, since I saw her on Stern back in the day (don't judge me). Just really, really seemed willing to do anything for attention.
