I Found the Source of the Trans Money | Ep. 188

Skip the first 8 minutes. She blathers on about disliking Liz Cheney and she seems to be pro-tRump. However, she is correct about the Boston Children's Hospital gender clinic mess.

I think some people realized saying “feminazi” was starting to reflect badly on them so they shifted to “TERFs, who are just like nazis” instead. Every generation needs its own inventive way to legitimize its fear and disgust for female liberation, and this permutation is no different.

It speaks volumes that people find this comparison accurate. “Feminazi” and “nazi terf” are statements about the speaker’s own emotional reactions: they either find nazism so trivial or female liberation so horrifying that they find truth in this comparison.

 winterterf

That last bit….. that’s exactly it.

 cockk-dealer

No, they compare TERFs to nazis because you spend your time allying yourselves with the far right so you can bash a minority group.

There are also some people who hate feminists or radical feminists who like saying cringey things like “feminazi”.

 kritisch-meinschatz

where did you learn about radical feminism? because it clearly wasn’t in an academic setting if you genuinely believe this. it’s narrow-sighted and racist.

radical feminism is at the forefront of women’s rights movements in countries across africa, the middle east, south and east asia and south america, who are actively pushing back against the systemic abuse (fgm, child brides, no education, forced modesty, the infanticide of girls, etc.) maintained by their far-right governments.

not to mention, it’s disgustingly insensitive to insinuate they are comparable. nazi’s didn’t “bash a minority group”, they attempted to commit a genocide and facilitated eugenics through euthanasia and mass sterilisation. they built and used ghettos, and then camps, to ethnically cleanse. you are purposefully misrepresenting and diminishing an era of history that saw the orchestrated deaths of millions of people (mostly jews, romani and disabled people amongst others) in hospitals and death camps.

>>where did you learn about radical feminism? because it clearly wasn’t in an academic setting if you genuinely believe this. it’s narrow-sighted and racist.

I did learn about radical feminism in academic settings, actually. And no, this isn’t racist.

>>radical feminism is at the forefront of women’s rights movements in countries across africa, the middle east, south and east asia and south america, who are actively pushing back against the systemic abuse (fgm, child brides, no education, forced modesty, the infanticide of girls, etc.) maintained by their far-right governments.

Yes, it is. I’m not talking about radical feminism here, I’m talking about TERFs. I know that some - not all - radical feminists in developing countries are technically TERFs, and that they don’t tend to ally themselves with the far right, but most of them don’t put their energy into giving the subject much in the way of thought.

The vast majority of card-carrying TERFs are middle-class white women in Western countries, who ally themselves with (which doesn’t mean they are the same as or believe the same things as) far-right (not neo-nazi, but bigoted conservative) conservative groups in solidarity in order to give credence and power to their views which are based on excluding trans people. These views are based on the theory that trans people represent a threat to them or a conflicting access need,  which in theory encourages separation, but in practice tends to involve oppressing trans people’s rights.

TERFs do not ally themselves with Nazis, but to many people, the distinctions between the extreme ends of the bigoted far right and Neo-Nazis isn’t a big one and they treat the two as the same.

However, people contain multitudes and it’s possible to be in favour of civil rights for women in minority groups and still bash members of a specific minority group you don’t like, such as trans people. 

Also, most TERFs believe that the people they are bashing aren’t women, and it’s quite easy for a shitty woman who advocates for women’s rights to bash men from minority groups. 

But, as per my last paragraph, it’s quite possible for someone to be in favour of civil rights for women and still bash women they don’t like who are from a minority group.

If you believe that I believe that you’re a woman’s rights advocate, but a racist one, then it stands to reason that racist women’s rights advocates exist, which means that it also stands to reason that people who advocate for the rights of cis black women might hate trans women - or trans men, who TERFs might view as women under certain circumstances. 

If you don’t believe that trans women are women - whatever, I don’t care. I think trans women are women and trans men are men because that’s how they operate and look, or how they feel, and also because it helps trans people to become more like their desired gender, and also because the average person doesn’t identify with or behave as the opposite sex, and also because they’re gendered characteristics and it’s possible to change gender, and also because transsexuals alter their sex.

You don’t want to believe trans women are women? OK, but they aren’t men, though. Technically, if you want to be literal about it, most trans people are androgynous. Could you believe that they’re men? Sure, just as you can believe they’re women, but that makes them men who have a lot more in common with women than most men, and doesn’t mean you aren’t bashing a minority group.

>>not to mention, it’s disgustingly insensitive to insinuate they are comparable. nazi’s didn’t “bash a minority group”, they attempted to commit a genocide and facilitated eugenics through euthanasia and mass sterilisation. 

Nazis are a historical group that no longer exist. People in Western countries are concerned with neo-nazis, who advocate for these policies without enacting them, and other, less extreme members of the far-right. Both of these groups spend their time bashing minorities. In some parts of the world, neo-nazis are more violent, like their Nazi counterparts. But in the West, that isn’t really the issue, and most developing, poorer countries aren’t white and therefore the fascism involved tends to take other routes.

>>they built and used ghettos, and then camps, to ethnically cleanse. you are purposefully misrepresenting and diminishing an era of history that saw the orchestrated deaths of millions of people (mostly jews, romani and disabled people amongst others) in hospitals and death camps.

Yeah, I learnt about the Holocaust, too.

 kritisch-meinschatz

you know what nazi’s are and what they have done, and it’s actually a completely valid comparison that isn’t diminishing or offensive at all because i should have…. just assumed you mean something different than what you wrote?

you said “they compare TERFs to nazis because you spend your time allying yourselves with the far right so you can bash a minority group”. what you wrote justifies the comparison for terfs to nazis and nazis to a group that ‘bash minorities’. it’s grossly insensitive and narrow-sighted.

i’m not a radical feminist, or a terf, or whatever. there is a lot of things i don’t agree with them on. but i have major issues with people flippantly and unnecessarily comparing things to nazism, or in your case, justifying why people compare something to nazism. because it always purposefully misrepresents and diminishes the collective harm of that era, and the continuation of those beliefs and attitudes in the modern day. it’s antisemetic, anti-roma, ableist and racist at it’s core.

nazism isn’t a issue of the past. maybe where you are from neo-nazis are “less violent”; i would argue that “advocating” as opposed to “enacting” doesn’t instantly mean there is less harm, but there certainly are places where nazi ideology is being perpetuated and enacted. maybe you aren’t a part of a community that’s been taught to be hyperaware of it. i don’t know, because i don’t know you. i don’t know if you consider all of europe to be “the west”, i’ve seen a lot of people do that recently.

but i can tell you it’s different where i am from. it’s different in a lot of european countries right now, especially for disabled and romani people.

my whole point is that (being the one who does or justifies) comparing terfs to nazis is not only offensive but it’s actively harmful to the way we perceive those events and when we do that, we erode the way we react to a resurgence. they are not the same thing. there is nothing wrong with highlighting the harm that can be done with anti-trangender rhetoric but it can and should be done without comparing them.

 thesinisterspinster

Id like examples of what bashing is. Can you find one radical feminist who physically harmed a trans person? I dont belive in gender there is no outward set of likes and dislikes and behaviors that make someone a man or woman. Matt walsh has been pretty despritely trying to find gender critical women to talk to him (ie help his cause) and he has been universally met with we dont need your help. Probly because we are too busy working on getting our human rights back wile the left is makeing it harder calling us natzis for speaking about sex.

Sly Sez:

“You spend your time allying with the far right.”

I love this stupid argument.

I’m a lifelong registered Democrat. I’m pretty far to the left on most social issues. In fact, I’ve always been supportive of transsexuals. I believe they should be afforded the same rights and protections as anyone else and allowed to live their lives in peace.

Initially, when the whole modern transactivism mess started, I thought the term “cis” was odd and unnecessary, but I applied it to myself to be polite. I thought I was “being kind” to an oppressed minority group.

I learned that modern transactivism actually has much more in common with queer theory than with protecting the rights of individuals with extreme sex dysphoria. I also began to notice the way women were being erased with language such as “non-men.” I found myself asking why everyone was so hell-bent on pushing the idea that “transwomen are women” but there was no equal fervor for the idea that “transmen are men.”

Then I noticed that anyone who disagreed with even the teeniest iota of the Trans Cult Doctrine was being TERFed. I quickly learned that terfisaslur.com

I peaked.

Anyone who cares about the well-being of children and adolescents and who wants to preserve women’s sex-based protections needs to actually OPEN YOUR EYES and look at what’s going on rather than swallowing the Woke Dogma hook, line, and sinker. 

Men Cannot Become Women

really sucks how the only transactivist that’s actually somewhat normal is a feminine gay man with extreme internalized homophobia who’s an open anti-feminist that’s bedfellows with the alt-right

 allylikesstuff

“He disagrees with me therefore he’s a male, and males r stupid. And he’s a gay, and gays r stupid. He’s a gay male and gay and gay abd males r stupid. 2 + 2 = 5”

The “alt-right” actually call blaire by her preferred pronouns, so—

 sapphicshinigami

He’s not male because he disagrees with me. He’s male because he has a penis and xy chromosomes. Even if I agreed with him, he would still be male. It’s a biological fact. It’s not up for debate.

And yeah. He’s gay. Because he’s a male. In a relationship with another male. Hope this helps <3

 allylikesstuff

Nah. Just because you were groomed or coerced into being a non binary person and that changed your view point, doesn’t mean you can project and be radical towards other ppl of the same umbrella.

Blaire likes she/her pronouns and lives life presenting feminine and female with female aesthetics and anatomy as apposed to a gay man who is strictly male who likes men. He too can present feminine, but he still can tell you he’s a man.

 sapphicshinigami

Pronouns and presenting feminine don’t make you a woman. Most lesbians aren’t feminine presenting, but they’re still women because they’re adult human females. Clothes, make up, and pronouns don’t make you a woman. Being an adult human female makes you a woman.

 allylikesstuff

Which is what she is. An adult human female.

She has similar brain structure as to her bio counterpart.

 nansheonearth

This has been debunked again and again.

Also white has had good brain scanned? When?

 thesinisterspinster

Your brain is gonna reflect what you use it for. Its called neroplasyicity. This can change througout your life depending on what you use your brain for. There is no male or female brains just a collection of avrages.

 Sly's Thoughts:

There are masculine women and feminine men. Masculine women are just as much women as more stereotypically feminine women and feminine men are just as much men as more stereotypically masculine men. I would have thought that the world was getting closer to recognizing this truth and just letting people be who they are without insistence on adherence to outmoded stereotypes, but here we are.

Blaire White is willing to engage in critical thinking rather than immediately resorting to name-calling and seems to be opposed to transitioning young children. I don’t agree with Blaire on everything but I don’t have anything bad to say. It is at least possible to engage in rational discussion with her. However, Blaire is not and never will be a female. Blaire is a male who has undergone surgical and chemical treatments to appear more feminine. I am willing to use she/her pronouns out of respect for Blaire’s preferences. However, I will never agree to the idea that a man can literally become a woman.

I’ve never had any quibble with transsexuals. They should be allowed the same rights and protections as any other human being and allowed to live their lives in peace. I am, however, opposed to the forcing of gender ideology on children and taking away women’s sex-segregated spaces and services as well as the words we use to define ourselves and our experiences.

This Post Is For Girls

lazyxfemme

 livebloggingmydescentintomadness

Girls, if something about a guy scares you or makes you uncomfortable, get away from him as fast as possible. Listen to your instincts. Don’t make excuses. Just run.

 livebloggingmydescentintomadness

Because like a thousand people have felt the need to add comments like “Boys, if a girl scares you” or “People, if a person scares you” and “this goes for everyone” and “this shouldn’t be gender specified” I am going to make it very clear that this post is for girls. 

THIS POST IS FOR GIRLS.

Why? Because girls are socialized to not be rude, not ‘be a bitch’, to not hurt a man’s feelings, and that they’re being silly and overreacting if something they can’t explain makes them afraid. Because girls are preyed on by men who use every one of these things to their advantage, who lure girls into their control and molest them, rape them, beat them, and kill them. Because it happens every fucking day and girls need to know that if something feels wrong, they need to get the fuck away from that man.

You don’t like that this post is gendered? I don’t like that girls are abused and date raped and murdered every fucking day and they are STILL pressured to “give him a chance” when a man makes them uncomfortable. So get off your pretentious fucking high horse and support girls instead of telling me “this goes for everyone”.

 Sly Sez:

An older boy sexually assaulted me when I was 15 thanks to my being socialized to “be a lady” and “not hurt his feelings.” Instead of telling this gross creeper in no uncertain terms to keep his disgusting hands off me, I tried to hint obliquely that I wasn’t interested.

I’m throwing a content warning on this because I will be describing a sexual assault incident.

This guy was a blind date, a friend of my friend’s boyfriend. He was also the older brother of a guy I knew from school. The four of us went to a movie. He started touching my thigh and trying to kiss me. I asked my friend’s boyfriend for the keys to the car, hoping Mr. Handy would want to stay and watch the movie while I sat in the car and drank beer. 

Unfortunately, Mr. Handy followed me to the car. He either took the beer from me or I set it aside, not wanting to spill it in the car. He asked me if I wanted him to put on a condom. I said no. He assumed this meant I was on the pill. I told him “no, I don’t have sex on the first date.”

Which leads me to another thing. How about if we stop pushing the idea that being a virgin is somehow “uncool?”

He grabbed my hand and put it on his penis. I hoped that if I did what he wanted he’d leave me alone. I had an extremely low self-esteem. I didn’t feel like I had the right to say no, I don’t want this. It’s like I became a robot or everything became dreamlike. He “repaid” me for the hand job by shoving his fingers roughly into my vagina. When I got home, there was blood on my panties.

It’s hard to explain why I let this happen. I didn’t want it. I wasn’t really afraid of him. I could have kicked him or started screaming or gotten out of the car. I just went numb. I was molested by my aunt’s first husband when I was very young. I don’t have any specific memories of the event, but it may have contributed to my freezing up when this creep assaulted me. 

I started acting out after this event, cutting class, cutting myself, doing drugs. I didn’t even realize that I had been sexually assaulted until many years later. This was the 1980s and because there was no PIV activity, nobody thought of it as sexual assault.

Women and girls are overwhelmingly targeted as potential victims by gross creepers like this guy. So, yeah, this post should be for girls.
