Demon complains there is no more room in Hell
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has called for more censorship on Big Tech platforms, singling out Facebook as the most problematic.
In a recent interview with The View, the 2016 presidential candidate blamed former President Donald Trump and Facebook for the Jan 6 riot at the US Capitol, which she described as a “constitutional crisis.”
According to her, the solution is more censorship.
“…[it] gives me absolutely no satisfaction in saying this, because I think we’re at a very dangerous, continuing, high-level attack on the legitimacy of our government and the election of our president,” she said.
“Obviously, our former president is not only behind it, he incited it, he encouraged it, and he continues to do so,” Clinton added.
She continued to argue that “democracy is at stake” as a result of online “misinformation. She singled out Facebook as the most problematic platform in the spread of misinformation. In Clinton’s opinion, removing online disinformation is crucial to upholding democracy in the US.
“When you combine [claims of election fraud] with disinformation from Facebook, you’ve got a volatile mix. We’re still in the midst of a concerted, well-funded effort to undermine American democracy,” she explained.
Netflix’s Trans Employees Plan Walk Out to Protest New Dave Chappelle Special
Rejecting comments made by Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos in defense of Dave Chappelle’s latest comedy special, The Closer, a number of the streaming platforms transgender employees are planning a company-wide walkout on October 20th.
In the wake of the release of the new special—which features incendiary commentary on the LGBTQ+ community and Chappelle’s own proclamation that he identifies as a “trans-exclusionary radical feminist”— The Verge obtained an internal organizing message posted by a leader of Netflix’s trans employee resource group that takes the platform to task for failing to meet its mission of creating inclusive, universally enjoyable content.
“Trans Lives Matter. Trans Rights Matter. And as an organization, Netflix has continually failed to show deep care in our mission to Entertain the World by repeatedly releasing content that harms the Trans community and continually failing to create content that represents and uplifts Trans content,” the ERG message reads in part. “We can and must do better!”
Stirrings of an imminent walkout come just one day after it was reported that Netflix had suspended three employees for dropping in on a meeting without authorization during the platform’s two-day-long quarterly business review. At the event, Sarandos briefed the company’s top 500 employees on how they should respond to employees and talent expressing concerns over Chappelle’s remarks. One of the employees in question—the trans and queer-identifying Terra Field, who works as a senior software engineer for the company—reported that as of Tuesday night, she had been reinstated at the company.
MAGA Gun Church That Worships With AR-15s Has Bought a Giant Mountain Property in Tennessee
The MAGA-loving religious sect that worships with AR-15s has purchased a 130-acre property on a mountain in eastern Tennessee to serve as a “training center” and holy ground for its devoted, gun-toting followers, VICE News has learned.
The latest property acquisition is more evidence that Pastor Hyung Jin “Sean” Moon, a fervent conspiracy theorist and son of an accused cult leader, is determined to expand his reach into the American Heartland.
Moon’s congregation, Rod of Iron Ministries, also known as The World Peace and Unification Sanctuary, is a gun-centric spinoff of the much larger Unification Church, founded by his late father, the Rev. Sun Myung Moon, a self-proclaimed messiah and businessman whose followers were famously known as “Moonies.” The younger Moon, who also goes by “The Second King,” split from the main church amid a dramatic falling-out with his mother about who, between the two of them, was the rightful heir to his father’s empire.
In 2017, Moon founded his church in Newfoundland, Pennsylvania, siphoning off hundreds of followers from the main congregation who were willing to make the seemingly radical leap of incorporating high-powered rifles into their spiritual life. He did this with the backing of his older brother, Kook-jin “Justin” Moon, the CEO of Kahr Arms, a gun manufacturing company headquartered nearby. In recent years, he’s made headlines for recreating the mass wedding ceremonies that his father’s church was famous for, with the addition of AR-15s.
Sean and Justin Moon, plus other senior church officials, were also at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, and posted videos of themselves emerging from clouds of tear gas. Sean has also courted fringe MAGA-world figures; this weekend, the annual Rod of Iron Freedom Fest at the Kahr Arms headquarters in Greeley will include speakers such as former Trump adviser Steve Bannon, ex–NRA spokesperson Dana Loesch, far-right Proud Boy ally Joey Gibson, and GOP congressional candidate Teddy Daniels.
Ah, Vice. That last paragraph there is some master well-poisoning.

“Chappelle’s own proclamation that he identifies as a “trans-exclusionary radical feminist””
Men aren’t allowed though.
I wonder if he was even joking about being a feminist. In a comedy special.
Nah.
I really don’t remember him saying he was trans exclusive. He declared himself a feminist, by a certian, particular logic, but he mostly had nice things to say about trannies. He did refer to himself as transfobic, but he was blatantly being facetious.
Chappelle referenced the definition of feminist and that definition does not exclude men.
“TERF” makes a position perfectly clear.
Oh TERF not TRF. My mistake.

The TERF’s themselves call it a slur. Regardless, it’s a vagina-vagina-only club. Dave can’t be a member because he’s male. And his wife can’t be a member either.
It was originally an autonym, like SJW. Also like SJW, it was quickly appropriated by their critics

Not anything at all like the Mormons.
They’re in Utah.
As an owner of a Moonie gun, I will say the Kahr K9 is a well designed and rugged firearm. My K9 was a reject from the NYPD when Kahr refused to make the trigger pull 12 lbs. so they dumped all their used K9s on the market. When I received it, it was the filthiest firearm I have ever seen and had to strip it and soak it in carb cleaner to get the gunk out. I replaced every spring in it, put wood grips and Meprolight sights on it, and have been carrying it ever since and have put thousands of round down range. It has a nice long smooth trigger but it is quite heavy for a carry gun, a good belt helps.
I am not joining their religion though.
Good video, I haven’t been that turned on since Mr. Krabs crossdressed in order to trick the Flying Dutchman.

It’s the same thing with the Obama’s daughters especially the oldest one.

Re: The Netflix folks. Ok, so walk out. I wouldn’t particularly care either way if it is a one time thing. If they start to make a habit of it, I’d just fire the lot of them. But then again, I find the whole statement that Netflix makes “inclusive” entertainment for everyone laughable these days when their kids shows seem to go out of their way to have trans / whatnot characters and all. Like all inclusion these days — they just mean “those who agree with us!”
I wouldn’t particularly care either way if it is a one time thing.
I would. Allowing it to pass unremarked means you now have set the precedent that its just fine. Expect more of the same.
At most, I would give them all final warnings. But I would be strongly tempted to fire them if, say, they stayed out for more than a day.
Just lock the door they walk out of.
I’m burning to know how many trannies work for Netflix, and how hard that mass walkout is going to hurt them.
More than the number of anti-vaxxers?
You’ll get a different answer depending on whether it’s actual trans people or people who are really just trans-adjacent. There seem to be a lot of people jumping on the bandwagon who won’t commit to the bit, as it were, and I’m suspicious of that lot.
And I suspect that many of the actual trans people just want to be left alone, not dragged into woke activism.
Maybe the times have changed but the trans folks I’ve known over the years had a sense of humor.
No doubt. I’d imagine if you truly believed you were the opposite sex from what you were born as, the goal would be to be “invisible”, to achieve a state where no one would even know you were trans. That’s impossible if you make it part of your identity.
I work with a couple of trans people, and while I haven’t asked them about it, my impression is that they both don’t want to be “trans,” they want to be women.
I am interested in how much is true gender dysphoria and how much is autogynephilia.
I also don’t believe that F to M trans have the same motives as M to F trans.
Or how much is just a combination of homosexuality combined with actual psychological issues.
True gender dysphoria was extremely rare. In today’s environment… who knows?
The saddest part is that those who could use the help are being filled up with a metric fuckton of leftist bullshit rather than confronting their issues in a healthy way.

Inclusivity would include all voices, including those you don’t like. Also, no content is universally enjoyable, so if that’s the standard start packing, as you won’t have a network left.
I just want to date two trad girls with lobster hands forever.
It’s a tragedy of monumental proportion that trans people are prohibited from starting their own entertainment companies and creating their own content.
They’d subdivide and start attacking each other inside of a week.
“Rejecting comments made by Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos in defense of Dave Chappelle’s latest comedy special, The Closer, a number of the streaming platforms transgender employees are planning a company-wide walkout on October 20th.”
If I was that CEO I would tell the employees, that they can walk out if they want but by doing so, they have forfeited their jobs. Your ID will be deactivated and your trinkets at your desks will be in white boxes, ready to be mailed to your home.
But overall, good on Chappelle for telling these people to fuck off because he knows that at the end of the day, Twitter or the corporate media isn’t real life. The more defiant he becomes and the more people support him, the more desperate the activists are becoming because their power has always been creating the illusion of power.
Hastings isn’t going to do that. He’s a proggie asshole.
I’m surprised he didn’t can the Chappelle special.
It’s because money talks, bullshit walks. He knows that Chappelle has legion of fans and those who are creating the most noise numerically aren’t worth a damn when it comes to the bottom line.
Somebody’s got to create the income to cover Obama’s $65M paycheck from them.
I wonder if they are at the tipping point? Where there is no more exponential growth, but only a series of positional moves to make around that industry, much like to old three TV networks. And doing something like getting rid of Chappelle wouldn’t cost more than can be recovered.
He could say it’s racist to protest a black man.

“Furious parents are demanding the resignation of Loudoun County Schools Superintendent Scott Ziegler who claimed on June 22 that the school had received no reports of sexual assaults by trans kids in bathrooms, four weeks after a girl told teachers she’d been raped in the bathrooms by a male ‘in a skirt’.
On June 22, Ziegler, who earns $295,000 as the school superintendent – a job he took over in January – told a crowded school board meeting: ‘To my knowledge, we don’t have any record of assaults occurring in our restrooms.
He then went further, calling it a debunked theory that a transgender person is more likely to sexually assault a cisgender person, and that the ‘predatory trans person does not exist’…
The boy was arrested in July – a month after the meeting – but he went on to allegedly sexually assault another girl, at a different school in the same district, in October.
He is now in juvenile detention awaiting a court appearance on all charges, which include sexual battery and forcible sodomy.”

Loudoun is a hair away from a full blown rumble at a school board meeting. My guess is the national Dems want it to happen and will help create a situation that makes it more likely.
As a father I have absolutely no comment.
Weirdly, over lunch I was perusing options for suppressors.

Have a look at Silencerco’s Omega 36M.
I generally try to do all I can to avoid fighting, but fuck man they would have had to arrest my ass if I was in that father’s place. It’s the lack of shame that bothers me the most.
Just remember, the lesson will only really stick if you get away with it…
That’s why you walk calmly out of the board meeting and catch up with the Superintendent in the parking lot.
To get you point across,
All it takes is holding those responsible accountable for their actions a few times.
Admit what you did and demand a speedy public jury trial. Use the trial to explain why all treasonous bureaucrats will be held responsible for their illegal and immoral actions sooner than later.
American patriots wont be waiting 75 years to put bureaucrats on trial.
Only if they can suppress the truth of what it is all about. At which point the absurd pizza-pedophile conspiracy theory starts to look less absurd.
He then went further, calling it a debunked theory that a transgender person is more likely to sexually assault a cisgender person, and that the ‘predatory trans person does not exist’…
Talk about doubling down. There’s a hug gap between “debunked theory that a transgender person is more likely to sexually assault a cisgender person” and “predatory trans person does not exist”. That last point is indefensible. Of course there are going to be predatory trans people – trans people are people too, so subject to the same vices as everybody else.
Nice motte and bailey move.
“A trans person raped my daughter” is not answered by “its a myth that trans people are more likely to rape normal people”.
How much do you want to bet if this rapist goes to jail it will be to a female prison?
In a blue state that’s a safe bet. But not a safe move for the other prisoners. Or for him, if the other prisoners decide to proactively protect themselves.
The women in prisons might have an interesting response to a rapist. I don’t think that boy would like it.
My understanding is that men in prisons don’t like rapists either.
Women in California prisons are being raped. https://www.westernjournal.com/no-ones-listening-transgender-inmates-end-womens-prisons-take-part-shocking-assaults-female-prisoners/
This is just the latest report.
Not a pretty picture. Putting male inmates in a female prison is not a good idea.
There is a difference between “men identifying as female” and the much smaller group which has actually transitioned (including the removal of male bits). I think a reasonable compromise is possible – you want a transfer to a female prison? Complete the transition.
Who exactly thinks it is “shocking”?
Morons?
I am curious to see what internal reporting, if any, was done by the school system. The superintendent is a jackass under any scenario. Having said that, how and when (if ever) was the rape reported within the school system hierarchy? It would be good to know if he is a liar, wasn’t told because the system failed, or wasn’t told because there was a policy in place not to report the event.
My thoughts too. Good luck with that discovery.
I’d expect a computer problem will also come up.
According to The Daily Wire story, the father was called to the school the day his daughter was repeatedly rape. He was told that the school was looking into the incident. The dad got yelly, the school finally called the police on the dad, and the dad reported the rape and they took his daughter to get a rape kit and the hospital confirmed the assualt.
Yup. And the only person arrested that day was the dad…
That’ll teach them to call the parents in.
I’m clear on that part SF. The question is to what did the school do with the report. In other words, is there somewhere within the management hierarchy the report needs to be lodged or forwarded? Is there someone like the superintendent or counsel for the district to whom that report must be forwarded? I assume for a serious crime someone in upper management must be notified so the district can determine what action, if any, to take.

I can see people being upset about “cultural appropriation” if an item considered sacred to them is being used in a profane way, but beyond that the impulse is simply cultural segregation. If people from another culture want to use your stuff/behave like you that should be taken as a compliment: it means they think something you’ve done is better than what they’ve been doing.
Cultural appreciation.
Yep which is different than Cultural Denigration. Cultural Appropriation is what humans have been doing since there were more than two tribes in Africa. The strength of diversity is the ability to learn from each other not to freeze each group’s cultural practices in amber. You can make a point that we shouldn’t denigrate other cultures but ever that is not so clear cut. There are cultural practices that I feel should be denigrated because they violate a moral law.

I think her claim that our government “made a decent life possible” is extremely offensive.
“Couric claims that Ginsburg, who was 83 at the time, was ‘elderly and probably didn’t fully understand the question’ ”
I’m sure there was a perfectly reasonable explanation for why she didn’t toe they party line.
So Couric is saying St. Ginsburg was incapable of serving as a Supreme Court Justice?
I mean, she’s not wrong, I just didn’t expect to hear a good member of the cocktail party circuit say it out loud.
And Couric took no self reflection into that statement that if she couldn’t understand that question, why is she providing legal analysis and opinion that affects 330+ million people?
*grumbles* missed it by that much.
Don’t feel bad. You went for “intelligent”, rather than “snarky”.

I gotta say. When a Norweigian pops off, they really go for the gusto. None of this small nonesense.
Holy crap. With a bow.
*nods sadly*
/Ghosts of several French knights
Bows are no laughing matter.
I’ve heard that teminal ballistics on an arrow is not far below a handgun round. You don’t get the hydrostatic shock, but you get cutting and slicing.
In general, an arrow shot from a good bow will pierce soft body armor.
This is not true. I’ve tried it.
hmm. I have a friend who claims to have shot a broadhead through a vest. I’ll have to ask more questions.
What kind of arrowhead did you use?
Handgun rounds don’t cause hydrokinetic trauma either. To get a pressure wave in the circulatory system, you need a very fast (3000+ fps) bullet to impact a very large blood vessel. At which point, who cares, because you’ve just shot some dude in the aorta and he’s ten seconds from dead anyway.
Hydrokinetic trauma is one of those gun culture urban legends that just refuses to die.
What I’ve read pretty much confirms this. While I have never (thankfully) had to shoot a person, I’ve shot 40-odd head of big game in my lifetime, ranging from javelina (~40 pounds) to elk ~500-700 pounds.) I tend to go for lung shots when possible, a few times I’ve shot for central nervous system or major structural bones.
I use lung shots partly because they don’t mess up much edible meat, but mostly because it’s a relatively quick death by exsanguination. Central nervous system shots I don’t like, because it’s a smaller target that’s constantly moving, but a brain shot or a shot into the spinal column forward of the shoulders is pretty much instantaneous. Only once have I had shot shatter both shoulders, and that was a running shot on a whitetail at about 20 yards that went a little farther forward than I intended, and the animal was dead when it hit the ground. Bone fragments shot through its chest like shrapnel.
For the past fifteen years or so pretty much all my kills have been with a .338 Win Mag using a 250-grain Barnes XLC (I’ll be switching to the new LRX in the next batch) running at about 2,800 fps. That’s a hell of a lot more power than your typical handgun, even my hot .45 Colt loads.
Point is (as I forgot to make in the initial reply) I’ve never seen any evidence of this hydrostatic shock effect people keep talking about. All my kills have been due to blood loss or massive central nervous system damage.

One can only hope. Don’t think that’s his gig, maybe it’s the beginning of a trend.
From their website:
The Birds Aren’t Real movement has been active since 1976. Once a preventative cause, our initial goal was to stop the genocide of real birds. Unfortunately this was unsuccessful, and the government has since replaced every living bird with robotic replicas. Now our movement’s prerogative is to make everyone aware of this fact.
#If it flies it spies
That’s Incredible.
Literally
Hello, cats.
Are you kidding? The cats are in on it.
Yes. Cats > birds.
Now, pit a raptor or corvid against a cat, and I’m not taking any bets.
The cats are the real power.
The cats will devour the raptor eggs as part of their long game to make raptors extinct.
So the use of windmills is just the government trying to get rid of the evidence?
Now we are getting into it. The Audubon Society is also a CIA front. This goes deep, way deep.
Mark my words, big bird is behind this.
That’s what Snuffleupagus wants you to think
How do they explain chickens and domesticated turkeys? And who are the penguins spying on? Or ostriches?
Only the flying ones are fake. duh
That ain’t chicken.
“ All “Meat” found in “Birds” today is 100% synthetic. If birds suddenly became inedible, the government’s entire scheme would have been compromised. In order for their transition from “Real Bird to Drone Replica” to make sense, they had to imitate all parts of real birds in their robot copies. This includes tasty, edible meat- just synthetic. Synthetic meat is actually very accessible in modern times, with many fast food operations openly using it in their meals. The government simply had access to these modern technologies decades before the public”
OK smartiepants, what about eggs?
And if you keep them in a coup they can’t perch on powerlines to recharge their batteries. I’m beginning to think this theory might be erroneous.
Only flying birds recharge on power lines.
Ground birds are solar powered.
And if you keep them in a coup
The birds were involved in January 6th?
I hear them, going “coup, coup” out my window.
Chickens came first!
The FAQ on their site is amusing me greatly.
“ The “eggs” we see in the 21st century are specifically designed by the government to appear indistinguishable from what eggs once were, when birds were real. When the government replaced the species with robotic replicas, it was key that these replicas sustained the same activities that their biological predecessors did, including producing edible eggs.”
Oh well, as long as he doesn’t start sending out mailbombs God bless the guy.

Blade Runner (1982) CLIP – Deckard Meets Rachael (HD) Harrison Ford Movie
Still one of my favorite movies
A few days ago I saw a fellow on the boardwalk in a t-shirt that featured an illustration of a seagull with optics strapped to its face, with the caption “If I’m Flyin’, I’m Spyin’!” on the front and a Birds Aren’t Real logo on the back.

Sweet, they sell t-shirts.
Well damn…

#poultrygate is fantastic. Has to be a put on.
I’m going to buy one of the ball caps, it’ll be a good conversation piece.
I’m half tempted to toss together a patent drawing of a mechanical bird charging from a power line and put in on a shirt.
That would be hilarious. Maybe this outfit would buy the design from you.
They should, it ‘d have to be better than what they have in their store now, those are some ugly ass T-shirts.
Hey…they are trying. They spent all their money on the van.
Yeah, I’m pretty sure it’s an elaborate scheme to sell their hilarious merchandise. I’m kinda tempted to buy a T-shirt.
Buffalo 66 is a fantastic film; Christina Ricci is a heartthrob.
I had a little thing for Vincent Gallo in that movie….
And his parents were great.
I stopped for a pedestrian in a crosswalk. I got rear ended for my trouble. ?
No real damage other than bending my license plate. Still, fuck pedestrians…she didn’t stop to see if everything was alright.

Fucking crosswalks on a circle. ?
That doesn’t look like a place where a roundabout is even necessary.
I am unaware of any place where a roundabout is necessary, and very few where they are advisable.
After originally being vehemently against them, I’m coming around. For one thing, they must be cheaper than a traditional traffic light controlled intersection. They are also very good at intersections that have odd numbers of roads converging or even a 4 way that meets at other than 90 degree angles.
My experience with them is on low-mid traffic roads and they seem to work quite well. Once they go to more than one lane wide though…count me out.
^^ your last paragraph especially
Roundabouts keep traffic moving, if placed at an appropriate intersection. I wish there were more of them around here.
Count me in the “I like roundabouts” crowd.
Yeah, I’m OK with them. But pedestrian crossings and roundabouts don’t always make sense. There’s a roundabout near where I work with three exits. Two of the three exits have a pedestrian crossing right at the start of the exit street. So, if you’re taking that exit, you have to stop on the roundabout for a pedestrian.
Down in Eugene, there are two roundabouts, right nest to each other! And I have seen the same thing in Walla-Walla. This is what I mean, they are ad-hoc and poorly designed. If you need to have two of them next to each other, have a bigger circle! Another problem is they are in spaces too small for them, forcing too tight of turns or limited visibility. Also around here, they screw up the approach so if you don’t know what lane to be in at the start, it isn’t a round-about, but a curve.

Yes – Roundabout
Ted’S missed it.
You’re forgetting that I have impeccable taste in music.
Take it up with Rick Beato.
Shame on me, one of my favorite bands.
The idea might be good, but the execution is piss-poor. I got cut off by an idiot merging into the circle with a trailer. Fucker, if you don’t know how to drive with a trailer, don’t pull one!
My city has one and they are going to add a second, I never thought much about them either way, the one we have now I go through at most half a dozen times a year. The article I read about the second one stated that the intersection where they put the first one was one of the highest accident sites in the city, and that after the roundabout the accidents have dramatically dropped. I haven’t independently gone back and checked the traffic reports for the last ten years so it could be bullshit, but if it isn’t that seems like a case for that particular roundabout.
Oh, it was a 2 way stop sign intersection before the round about, both 35 mph two-lane roads.
*assuming you understand two-lane to mean one lane in each direction.
I picked up a car from a dealership 9 miles away from that rotary.
MAGA Gun Church That Worships With AR-15s Has Bought a Giant Mountain Property in Tennessee
130 acres isn’t a giant property. I guess in the Tennessee mountains it might seem like more.

Oh. Do I at least get a free gun for joining? No? Never mind.
Is she saying it’s a vast, right wing conspiracy?
We’re not really in the midst of it. We’re pretty much at the end game. American democracy was undermined by the administrative state. Trump was the test of whether it could be controlled by elected officials, and the results are in: it can’t.
?
The experiment is officially over. Now it’s just waiting for the results to come in.
She’s right, of course. But she’s not about to admit who is really funding this concerted effort.
Asshole coworker im’d me to ask if a visitor to the office was XYZ. Visitor wasn’t wearing a mask so I’m sure that’s why asshole wanted his name. Said I didn’t really see the person and didn’t look like XYZ to me.
Fucking informeller Mitarbeiter.
A lesser man than you would report asshole coworker for not wearing a mask.

OT – just finished my Japanese lesson. Switched textbooks. What a bitch this one is…

My class also shrank down to just me so now I’m paying for private lessons. We will see how long this lasts as it is both expensive an 100% me being “on” all the time. Only saving grace is that I really enjoy the instructor.
Office Quislings.

Look on the bright side, now you know who to stay the hell away from.
And you can feel out how others feel about it carefully and subtly warn them too.
LOL USMNT down 0:1 to Costa Rica in the first minute.
Here we go again.
On the bright side, Ons Jabeur is the highest-ranked woman left at Indian Wells.
Good for her.
Medvedev is out. ?
He was ahead 4-1 in the second set after winning the first one. I went out for a run not expecting any surprise. Oh, well. I believe he would have reached #1 had he won at Indian Wells. Not immediately, but in November.
I didn’t watch it because “why bother?”
Plus I was working and Doctor Who was on.
Let’s go USA…oh, well that started well.
For anyone who cares, this is what I know about TERFs, from my time sharing an office with the Womyns Student Association back in the GHWB administration, before bisexuals were acknowledged included in the campus GLA:
TERF is a relatively new and redundant term. You cannot be a RadFem and accept the existence of trans-anyone, much less transwomen.
“Radical” in the term “Radical Feminist” is not an intensifier or euphemism. It means that the logic of the political left (class struggle) is applied to feminism rather than economics. Radical Feminism declares that gender as a concept is a tool of the Patriarchy, that the very idea that “men are” and “women are” is used to oppress women. They are gender abolitionists. Gender is not something that can be changed, since it doesn’t exist. To claim that you are a gender is to accept the Patriarchy. They of course believe that any observed preference differences between boys and girls are the result of sexist indoctrination. The most
loonydevout will go so far as to claim that observed differences in sex such as strength or size are due to sexist parents feeding daughters less, forbidding them from exercising or playing outside, etc.Obviously, a transwoman is a) supporting the existence of gender, gender and gender characteristics and is therefore anathema to RadFem, and b) appropriating class identity that they are not entitled to and c) further oppressing women by consuming their resources, taking their spaces, etc.
Thus endeth the mansplaining.
Not to mention: Current Year Woke gender identification seems to revolve around presenting the most hackneyed and stereotypical gender traits. Which must drive the real Marxist RadFems bananas.
Yeah, that has got to be really frustrating for them.
“I want to be a woman, so I’m going to act the way women do.”
Uh, so you’re saying all women act the same?
Years ago a female friend of mine (in tech) was approached by a guy* she worked with who had just begun the outward transition to feminine and asked her out to lunch and asked her a whole bunch of questions about how to be a woman and how women act and dress and think and stuff. She was kind of floored, because she’s not the most feminine of women (no makeup, jeans-and-a-t-shirt kind of clothes, etc.) and sort of asked him why he was asking *her* these questions. The main reason was that she is a techie person, and most of the other women in the office were in admin type jobs.
*I’m using the masculine here because at the time he had just barely started to start wearing makeup–no clothes or other outward signs.
The whole trans thing conflicts with the typical left wing talking points in a number of ways. From the adoption of exaggerated gender cues to the whole women are a victim class thing. It doesn’t make much sense that someone would transition to be a less privileged class of person in a society.
I recall meeting a female transitioning to become a male who was attracted to…men. They were trying to become a gay man.
My job here is done.
I worked with a gay woman whose partner was transitioning from male to female so that he/she could be a lesbian.
This was ~35 years ago. Well before CT Alex.
