Reply to comment by ChuckFeathers in New trans-exclusionary "Lesbian Project" accidentally uses trans couple’s image by SqueakSquawk4

This is a fundamental problem that arises with intersectionality. A lot of oppressed people turn against each other over minor differences, out of distrust, jealousy, or I don't know what.

I think it’s just an innate human desire to not be at the bottom of the pecking order. You just need someone, anyone to look down on so you’re not completely at the bottom.

You might be conservative, most people don’t think they need to shit on someone below them, that’s you.

I'm pretty sure they're talking about the self-esteem hypothesis of social identity theory.

The way it was phrased it sounded as if it was their personal belief and worldview.

I mean they probably are, but it's also an existing hypothesis in social psychology. Makes their opinion a little more valid than them just being a 'conservative'.

Considering this hypothesis encompasses the Conservative hierarchical worldview, it doesn't seem like much a of stretch of the imagination to me. I never took Sociology so hopefully I can be forgiven for not being able to identify this theory on it's face.

Yikes, my friend. Just because someone makes an observation on intergroup dynamics doesn't make them lean one way or another. In-group bias is also well documented with you currently, and very ironically, showing out-group negativity.

Fwiw, I doubt conservatives are wondering why marginalised groups end up attacking each other rather than uniting for a common goal.

Shame on me for taking someone's words in the first person as meaning what they think. And of course Conservatives don't wonder, it's what they do to every out-group.

Look if you want to play the victim here you're more than welcome. I genuinely don't care, have a nice day.

I never asked for your continued opinion, you gave it. You cared enough to try and give me a hard time with it so please do go fuck yourself.

Yes, it is so pathetic of those lesbians to exclude transsexuals, so pitiful! They really only have jealousy in mind and it has absolutely nothing to do with transsexuals occupying gay dating apps and hitting on women pretending to be lesbians, while still having functional dick and balls, or participating/dominating in womens sports (check out how many lesbians are in the average soccer team), including unwanted body contact.

Why do you think the government is doing everything they can to divide us???? It makes it easier for them to control us, take away our rights, etc etc, without anyone pushing back.... because everyone's too busy fighting themselves......once people wake up to this....the better.....

Are you American by some chance? I would be careful of indirectly dismissing the work of Una Marson, Jayaben Desai, Olive Morris, etc. Just because they were more activism than academic.

The US had all that you wrote and is also transphobic. Pointing to feminism as the reason the UK is transphobic... feels wrong.

Really? Kathleen Stock, Julie Bindel, and Martina Navratilova all straight? That'll come as a surprise to them.
