Agreed... The activists know they can use fear of reprisal (and consequent loss of reputation, career, income, etc.) to keep people silent. That is how any tyrannical ideology works. But the only way to resist it is if people have the courage to stand up and speak their minds. They can't cancel everyone.
Depends who they are and what positions they hold.
History shows vast numbers of people have been successfully 'cancelled' in one way or another. 0 -

That is true... Still, we're not dealing with Stalinist repression here... We just need more people to find a backbone and have the courage to speak out against what they know is wrong.0 -

Truer words were never spoken. And more people need to find their own integrity to make it happen.
Grow a pair of gonads! That's my motto. There's a not so subtle irony in that

Thanks for demonstrating you don't know what the term 'gaslighting' means. Because it doesn't mean pointing out the similarities and heavy crossover with alt-right twerps. If anything, the constant insistence that women don't support trans people (when many clearly, demonstrably do) is the gaslighting.
Said it before and I'll say it again, a lot of terfs are just homophobes who moved onto the next socially acceptable target. They've recycled all the same old arguments. But then no one ever said they were the sharpest tools around.

I notice you love to label people racists, and now homophobes, across multiple threads and never get pulled up on it.
What evidence do you have that most terfs ( something I had never heard of before this thread) are homphobes ?
Seems to me this is yet another accusation based on zero evidence and spouted as if it were some sort of fact.0 -

People like me must baffle you - staunch gay ally who has been giving a good kicking a couple of times for defending gay friends - and who has enough cop on to know basic immutable science and biology.
You can throw around as many lies and accusations and childish names as you like - no one with a brain will start believing two plus two is yellow and a penis is anything other than a male appendage that a lesbian has every right to decline.0 -

I support trans people - their right to be recognised, their right to identify as another gender to the one they were born with. Their right to live in peace and dignity. That abuse of them should be punished. I just don't agree with denial of biology/redefinition of "woman"/"female". Anyone who's not in kneejerk mode will see that just because there are aspects I don't agree with, doesn't cancel out the support that I do have.
As ever, you and the rest (apart from OEJ), in the absence of having an argument, just swoop in with a sneery post and some line about something not particularly relevant (literally zero evidence of homophobia). Plus ca change.0 -

It's the very definition of gaslighting. Oh you are all right wing maniacs. Don't argue. Don't actually address anything.0 -

Isn't this where you usually flounce out and swear not to return?0 -
