| − | Gender is a social construct. Biological sex differences aren't real objective things. Sex and gender are all based on ideas from patriarchal societies. | + | '''Gender is a social construct.''' Biological sex differences aren't real objective things.

| | + | ''' |
| | + | There are no inherent differences in men and women.''' Since gender is a social construct the only reason why men and women behave differently is because they're raised differently, and not because of any innate biological differences. If we raised boys like girls they'd like all the things girls typically like and vice versa. Humans are blank slates. |

| + | '''Criticizing Islam is racist.''' Muslims are oppressed by Western cultures both historically and today, and that makes them a protected class. Islam is a religion of peace and Mohammad was a feminist. As such, neither Islam nor Muslims can be criticized and any such criticism is racist, bigoted, and Islamophobic. Any claim that there's legitimate criticism of Islam is just disguised white supremacy. |

| − | You're not allowed to talk about women's issues if you're a man, or talk about racism if you're white. Men are not allowed to have public opinions on women's issues like feminism, sexism, or the #MeToo movement, and they are especially not allowed to offer any criticism. In fact, any time a man corrects a woman in any way it's "mansplaining," and sexist by definition. White people are not allowed to have public opinions in debates or discussions on racism. Only black and brown people are because they have lived experiences with racism, and white people don't. | + | '''You're not allowed to talk about women's issues if you're a man, or talk about racism if you're white.'''

| − | If you don't want to have sex with or date a trans person, you're transphobic. It is no longer acceptable to have gender preferences with whom you have sex with unless you're gay. Refusal to date or have sex with a trans person must be due to sexist, homophobic, patriarchal heteronormative attitudes. | + | '''If you don't want to have sex with or date a trans person, you're transphobic.'''
