Brief

ancerj argues it is inevitable that rules demanding unquestioning belief or respect will be abused, warning that banning critique risks serious harm. The claim is illustrated by Larissa Phillips' account: a man who said he was a woman was admitted to a women's shelter despite a nurse's protest and punishment of that nurse, and subsequently murdered his roommate.

Why it matters

@ancerj (2026-05-10) asserts that any principle demanding unconditional belief or respect — citing examples 'believe all victims' and 'respect all trans' — 'will be exploited' and warns that if questioning/critique are banned 'we are screwed if not dead.'

Key details

  • Larissa Phillips reported a case where an admitting nurse questioned taking 'a male serial killer of women' into a women's shelter, was overruled and punished, and the man later murdered his roommate; Phillips says he 'wasn't even dressing as a woman' when admitted, only claimed to be one (nitter status 2053081989662531716).
Source evidence

It is as certain as a law of physics that any principle demanding that you believe/respect a person's statements fully without question, like "believe all victims" or "respect all trans," will be exploited.

If we can't question, critique, argue, we are screwed if not dead.

The fact that the admitting nurse in the women’s shelter was like, “why are we admitting a male serial killer of women into a women’s shelter?”— and was overruled and punished, and then the man murdered his roommate, is so horrifying.
He wasn’t even dressing as a woman when he got admitted. He just said he was a woman.
