Remember when using the word "tranny" was a slur? Now these idiots want to claim it like so-called LGBTQIAM+ types claim the pedophilic slur "queer."

Mate, when it comes their parlance, I haven't got a bloody clue anymore. A cynic might suggest that's its purpose; to scream "transphobe!" at even those bystanders acting in good faith.

Remember a few months ago when "womxn" was an "acceptable" (God I hate that word 😃) term of address ... then it was a slur for about a week ... and then it was "acceptable" again 🤪

I wouldn't be so naive to presuppose they're not acting in bad faith either. Quite the opposite.

Inspiring to see such solidarity--wish we had more of that in the states.

It's just occurred to me that maybe that's the real reason why TIMs push so hard to be included in women's groups where there wouldn't be anything relevant to their biology. It's to make sure the women are not planning anything in secret, like protests or seeking out support. Always under his eye.

I think there would be more if we could find each other! I keep wondering how to find other radical feminists in the state of Maine; I know they exist but where are they? I do admire the resistance in the British isles, but it's not nearly as large or populous. Imagine being able to get to NYC or DC in several hours for a protest.

I know, I wish I knew more radfems in California!

When antifa attacked elderly lesbians at the Dyke March in SF, so many women online said let us know and we'll be there to support you. So it must be possible to find some radical feminists in California. I wish Spinster would help us find each other. (Maybe they do but I haven't figured out how to do so.)

A second reply! I asked on Spinster -- are you familiar with it? it's a site specifically for radical feminists -- and they have a friend finding application. It is set up for feminists who may be paranoid and want private contacts. After seeing the Glasgow Witches I am so envious of not being able to do something similar here.

I just joined! Still kind of exploring.

They seem to forgive one of theirs for that indiscretion, but happily villify anyone else for saying it, even 20 years ago out of context quoting someone else.

One of the Doctor Who writers was crucified for it not long ago, he probably should have switched to writing for Hollyoaks, where apparently that behind the scenes language is fine and dandy.

Great Mess today. Brilliant to hear the witches talk. Wish I could have gone to Glasgow.

As certain as night following day. What's also certain is that TRAs will look the other way.

Yep, my beardy wokebro uni friend ditched me for posting my concerns about autistic girls transitioning. But in the past he used to rip the piss out of a transman lecturer we had saying "he" sounded and looked like Michael Jackson and was creepy because "he" looked in-between sexes. (Back then, before wokeness, everyone talked about how badly "he" passed that no one felt comfortable using "He" OR "she" so used "they" because "Theo is more like an it". 😬 No pussyfooting around a decade ago! All this would get you in deep shit now but it's what everyone secretly thinks)

He laughed at me when the lecturer used me in a study and I had to go to the office and he joked that I might get attacked because "he's still a lesbian inside!"

How dare he unfriend me for legitimate concern about girls when he was a nasty little transphobe in the past.

Just yesterday a FB friend who has admonished me in the past about trans right are human rights as a response to posting JK Rowling's essay, put a picture up of his son, who was a toddler at the time, wearing a princess costume and captioned it 'Trevor the tranny'. All his SJW super-woke friends thought it was super cute and hilarious. I know he doesn't think his son is trans, there are loads of pics and he looks a regular adolescent boy by all accounts.

I have to assume faux outrage over the word as a conclusion. Either that or hypocrisy. It's inconsistent at the very least.

Tiktok influencer's message to parents of "trans" teens. https://www.metroweekly.com/2021/03/tiktok-influencer-warns-parents-of-trans-kids-to-flee-alabama-after-anti-trans-health-care-bill-passes/

Alabama, North Dakota and several other US states are passing common sense protective legislation, or trying to. This concerned adult Trans has a warning for parents.

You have to be able to laugh at these dudes and their concept of themselves as lovely young women. Their pushing trans on children is despicable, the people who believe them are the same people who get scammed online, but this guy gives new meaning to the term blue hair.
