Materialist GCs: Yeah, that’s not quite how that happened. And you’re not really convincing me that there isn’t a disgust issue here . We’re quite worried about this because we think the argument that it’s wrong to interfere with other people’s lives just because they grim you out that we learned as a society from homophobia is basically right. You need to make arguments about why something is a harm and the fact that people are disgusted is kind of neither here nor there.
And it will make a lot of people think we are motivated by disgust and that will make a lot of people think you are bigots and will make people think the TRAs are right and could jeopardise all the work we’ve done to convince people we’re not bigots
Ultras: OMG did you compare homophobia and being disgusted by Troons you fucking bitch.
TRAs: Let’s use the cultural consensus that it’s not cool to be disgusted by people and that was really harmful to gay people to force team the gay rights movement and take over the whole of civil society. Then, if anyone questions us about trying to erase sex in law and making everyone pretend that men are actually women we can just call them bigots. Neat trick eh. They won’t see that coming.
Materialist GCs: Yeah, you’re right that being disgusted by people isn’t cool. But we have solid material reasons why erasing sex in law and public policy is a social harm that is nothing to do with being disgusted.
TRAs: No you’re bigots bigots bigots and nazis.
Materialist GCs: No we’re not *write a shit ton of articles and reports and assemble a load of data about why erasing sex in law and essentialising gender is a material social harm.*
Ultras: Troons are all disgusting perverts and those head girl bitches aren’t any where near disgusted enough and that’s because they are traitors and that’s because they are keeping pet troons and fucking AGPs.
Materialist GCs: Yeah this is pretty unhelpful because you kind of do look like bigots now and we’ve just spent a long time making argument to explain why we’re not and we have valid and legitimate concerns.
Ultras: Shut up you stupid useless wordy fucking handmaidens you think men are women and salivated over Troons and that’s why we’re in this whole mess to begin with.

Anti-semitism (aka Jew hate) is not equivalent to the dislike, even hatred, even ridicule, of a religion. Muslim hate is equivalent to Jew hate. Both are scourges on society, though neither should be made to retreat to festering nests of extremism by attempts to make hate itself illegal.
Writing “f*** Islam” and “cancel Islam” is not Muslim hate. Trying to burn down a mosque while Muslims are inside would be a credible example of Muslim hate.
The history of multiculturalism in Australia is a history of assimilation into the uniquely Western ideal of universalist individualism. Under this Western ideal, every individual is free to pursue the religion and philosophies of their choosing, so far as they harm no other, but is not free from criticism of their beliefs. “F*** Islam” is a criticism of a belief, crude, ineffective, devoid of meaningful content though it may be.
The West, including Australia, isn’t a city on a hill due to some vague notion of ‘multiculturalism’ but because of the promise we make each other to respect the sovereignty of the individual. When that promise is broken, by force of the majority or force of government, the West is no longer the West but a mere shadow of itself. The West falls when individual liberty falls, an especially egregious outcome for the marginalised.
Many politicians these days take for granted the freedom that individualism grants us and they’d give it away to save people from the discomfort, even confrontation, even offence, of having their beliefs scorned. Worse still, some would give it away simply for votes, for power. None of these politicians are worthy guardians of liberal western democracy.
> Clinical Presentations of Female Hypersexuality on a Psychiatry Outpatient Clinic in Turkey: A Retrospective Analysis of Patients in the Concept of Diagnosis and Trauma: Sexual Health & Compulsivity: Vol 30 , No 1
> Hypersexual behavior is a concept that is not included in the DSM-5, although it is encountered frequently in clinical practice. Cumulative evidence shows that childhood sexual abuse can play a significant role in hypersexuality cases. In this study, female patients with hypersexuality were retrospectively analyzed in terms of sociodemographic and clinical variables in 2020. 21 patients were diagnosed with hypersexual disorder according to Kafka’s proposed criteria. The mean age of the patients was 36.1 ± 9.0. Most of the patients had a history of sexual trauma. The most significant focus of this study was the diagnostic conversion from bipolar affective disorder to post-traumatic stress disorder. Post-traumatic stress symptoms directly affect hypersexual behavior through the mediation of depression, shame, and guilt. It is crucial to avoid assessing hypersexuality as a categorical symptom and pathological at first, and patients should be evaluated with their sociocultural aspects.
