The only reason I got two doses of pfizer is because our local bureaucracy goofed and had to clamor to find people for its vaccines before they thawed. I'm 28. e:

Yeah I got Pfizer as well. Either way I'm just happy to be on the way to not be a risk to other people as well as myself.

The Question IRL posted:You'd think it would be worse in the US, because it was weaponized into "They want to be able to use Bathrooms without judgement. Which is just a front so they can legally do horrible things to your kids." I'm not really in a sufficient position of knowledge to understand why this is but I do get the impression we have a much stronger representation of 60s/70s era white middle class feminists who are quite happy to pull the ladder up after them and poo poo all over trans women (and non-white women, and working class women) than in the US. Your Julie Bindels et al.

bessantj posted:Called my mum earlier and she asked "Do Newport County have any coloured players?" (They're in the League Two play off final.) When I said they did she said "They'll be getting abuse if Newport lose." I think I should go round and take her laptop off her Morecambe are managed by an old Ross County manager and apparently have the lowest budget of all the league teams so I hope they win. Although the old manager was a bit of a bellend, he did take us to the Premiership for the first time off the back of an almost-unbeaten season (one loss, in the first game of the season)

County pay their players in fag ends they find on the street so I'd hate to think what Morcambe use.

A random thought that someone much more clever has probably already come up with and rejected, but one thing that I think makes the UK quite so TERF-y is the underlying structure of society. American feminists fought to make women the legal and societal equals to men because the national myth of America is based on equality, while the British flavour of radical feminism (people always forget what the RF stands for) actually tried to establish women as a separate and privileged class because the British national character is still absolutely class-riven. The logical endpoints of the two are - I think - pretty much what we're seeing played out, because in a truly equal society transphobia is almost impossible in that a truly equal society would not have gender roles; the difference between genders would be the position of a tick in a box somewhere, and biological sex would just be a thing that mattered for reproduction and channeling people into the queues for cervical or testicular cancer testing, no more important in your day-to-day life than your blood group. Therefore in the US the flavour of transphobia is much more easily identified with old-fashioned homophobia - until very recently on this very site you could perfectly acceptably roll out some version of the Guardsman's Defence as a reason to shun trans people, as if trans women were lurking in every bar just waiting to trick poor innocent red-blooded men. Hell even the bathroom thing is just a hastily-resprayed version of all of the "Oi oi, backs to the wall" bollocks you still occasionally hear thrown at gay people. (Note of course that this also is *way* more revealing of the people with these supposed fears, because what they're actually saying is "My god if I found myself in a woman's bathroom I don't know that I'd be able to stop myself") Meanwhile in Britain the prevailing form of transphobia is much more bound up with that kind of second-wave "Women are the bearers of life" thought which has always struck me as weirdly Victorian, especially as it's often accompanied by the sex-negative stuff that leads to SWERFery. They may accept, and even fight for, the idea of total equality but the means they've chosen (consciously or not) to do so is to set up "Is capable of giving birth" as a distinct class of human being deserving of special rights and privileges, with the obvious corollary of penis-havers being a lesser class. Once you have that mindset - especially if you've gone on to found a lucrative media career on it - the idea that a penis-haver might be allowed into your Special Club is viscerally horrifying. To them it does actually feel more directly like an attack than it does to the more mainline reactionary form of transphobia. And like I say, a lot of these 60s and 70s radical feminists are now very firmly ensconced within the media and politics so they drive the media narrative - notice that the bathroom thing doesn't get quite as much play over here as it did in the States, because the chosen TERF battleground so far has been self-ID and the ramifications of it. Of course this also means that the *experience* of transphobia is very different on opposite sides of the Atlantic. Violence against trans people is much more common in the US than the UK (although not by a *huge* amount once you account for the greater levels of violence generally) but the UK certainly feels like a more transphobic place because the big noise about trans people in the US is mostly from dipshits on Fox News and so safely ignored by most good people, whereas over here it's coming from the people who are *supposed* to be the good ones standing up for the oppressed, and it's not like a trans person is going to start reading the Sun after the 436th Guardian column from Julie Burchill. Like I say this is just a thought that occurred to me that seems to explain a few of the missing pieces and of course comes from the happily privileged position of someone who can just view this more or less as an outsider, so I'm more than happy to hear if and why I'm talking out of my arse.

Like they don't want to admit that it's what they thought, so they frame it as 'concerns' that 'other people' might think that. That is the current Labour leadership's means of formulating policy, yes.

As with many analyses I don't think this is the whole story but this one has quite a bit to commend it. I will definitely say that transphobia from terfs has a far more vicious feel to it, subjectively, than from other parts of society. Maybe that's because I'm inured to what is, as you say, more-or-less just reheated homophobia, but the root of it being "Ew it's gross" or "God made you an [X] for a reason" just doesn't seem to hit as hard or animate as hatefully as "Your existence is an existential threat to my philosophy". And your average transphobic right-winger is more likely to just make a helicopter joke and forget about the whole thing whilst the terves seem to dedicate their entire lives to hatred with a zeal and focus usually reserved for particularly devout faithful of the Emperor.

There's something particularly vile about the sneering, self assured and oh so reasonable veneer they try to put on everything. Just makes you want to give the pricks a good punch just to see that shatter. Not only are their ideas garbage but the entire method they use to push them is loving soul poisoningly miserable. Opposed not only in ideal but also in form to the joyful, liberatory ideas they are trying to squash.
