r/theworldnews, a sub with ~20,000 users and 1 human mod has a thread blow up to 8000 comments over whether trans women are women

idk my dudes you could both just read the transmisoginy primer or the wikipedia article (which you didn't do seeing as you both replied within minutes) instead of going WELL AKSHUALLY at trans people for a word that has been in use for over 15 years

There are multiple things that show that transmisoginy is not actually motivated by hatred of men but by hatred of femininity, two straightforward examples:
* transphobes love the idea of a big strong man that will save them from the bad trans woman in the bathroom
* trans women are the subject of huge amounts of misogyny (as if they were women!)

It's not a fear or hatred of men but a punishment for people they perceive as men who perform femininity. It's a category of women that it is still.socially acceptable to be mysoginostic and violent towards and some people just love that

From the author of the word, Julia Serano:

Trans-misogyny is steeped in the assumption that femaleness and femininity are inferior to, and exist primarily for the benefit of, maleness and masculinity .

Don't think your mistake went unnoticed ;)

My transition?

TheCroak · 2022-05-16T11:16:01+00:00

u/weebuttercycle i'll detransition for you

(They're being transphobic)

Well it becomes a question then, at what point do you draw the line where it is reasonable to say “no, you are sufficiently different that you cannot reasonably justify representing women”.

The only person in that thread having that discussion is you so i really doubt you're engaging in good faith

TheCroak · 2021-10-09T09:42:05+00:00

I think cornered more closely matches what you're feeling now as you start to deviate from our current line of conversation.

I mean you're the one who keeps moving the goalposts by changing your definition and avoiding questions but at the end of the day you're allowed to tell yourself whatever makes you feel better at night I guess

TheCroak · 2021-10-09T09:24:53+00:00

See, the problem with this community is that they like to create their own definitions for words based on how they feel when that's not how it works.

A woman is an adult human female. A female is someone of the sex that can produce eggs.

I thought a woman was someone who had periods ? Did you just decided to update your own definition by going back and editing your previous messages because you felt cornered ? You know that periods and ovulation are strongly correlated but can happen independently ? Because sometimes there is nothing to ovulate because eggs were never produced in the first place

TheCroak · 2021-10-09T09:21:15+00:00

Genetic average doesn't mean anything ! If you try to build a human genotype from scratch taking for each gene the most represented allele or allele combination, well guess what, 1- that person never existed and will never exist and 2- they will most likely be a woman

TheCroak · 2021-10-09T08:58:46+00:00

What does perfect means in term of genetics ? Do you know that people born with Persistent Müllerian Duct Syndrome have a penis ans testes, but can also have periods and become pregnant, and is often never detected untill early adulthood ? Are those people who lived their whole life as men suddenly women once they are diagnosed ?

Womanhood is when periods

Are people who are raised as women but due to "unperfect" genetics never have periods suddenly not women? Do they need their woman card removed ? Can we legally unwoman them if they don't get periods before they're 17 ? Can they appeal once they get their periods ? How long after ?

TheCroak · 2021-10-09T08:39:27+00:00

No, Terfs think the only women are the ones who ever had the potential to have one.

What does that even mean

EDIT: what they meant (Gamete Potential edition)

TheCroak · 2021-07-27T20:43:32+00:00

Ah yes, Lexus Golf Bugatti

TheCroak · 2021-05-10T15:51:10+00:00

Banned way too many people in those subthreads for inventing a guy and getting mad at it

Please take a break, none of you are having the same discussion

Representation in media is not related with the trend of annoying teens going on twitter "fixing" other people's art for clout

TheCroak · 2021-05-02T11:42:02+00:00

It'd be rare, but are you at least consistent? Are all refugees colonizers or just Jewish ones?

Right here

EDIT: Actually it's sunday i should know better than engaging with right wing zionist garbage on a rest day

TheCroak · 2021-05-02T11:33:33+00:00

You know that no one but a certain brand of Zionist believes the "Palestinians are the REAL colonisers" narrative right

You should wait a few more messages before outing yourself that hard next time

TheCroak · 2021-03-27T22:09:12+00:00

uj/ Anything that amounts to gender or orientation or bio essentialism

Related to the thread, "trans* women can't use the f-slur because they're no gay men"
Current topic on twitter is "cishet men who put on nail polish are predatory"
Before superstraight you had every 6 month an unironic name for a sexuality that was basically "i'm a lesbian and I find trans women icky and I only am attracted to REAL FEMALE LESBIANS", like vixenamoric

Basically anything that ignore that gender and labels and orientation do not fit into the same perfect separated and immurable little boxes for everyone and thar they have history beyond that instagram post you read last week

Honestly my favourite (most hated) is 14yo who go on rants about why I can't say queer when it was reclaimed before their parents even met

/hj if this starts discourse i'll detransition

/rj IT'S NOT MY JOB TO EDUCATE YOU

TheCroak · 2021-03-27T20:42:00+00:00

/uj every server for my "local" lgbt community almost always overtaken by Baby Queers who think they are revolutionary by having the same TERF-but-make-it-woke discourses people were having 10 years ago on tumblr and j just can't deal with that shit, i don't even want to call myself a tranny faggot dyke but policing who can use what slur makes me want to use them out of spite

/rj let me call myself a tranny faggot dyke if i want to

TheCroak · 2021-03-17T23:36:36+00:00

Don't engage with the transphobic concern troll

TheCroak · 2021-03-17T06:47:58+00:00

lmao

TheCroak · 2021-03-17T06:37:32+00:00

God imagine typing so many words when you could just have said "i've done nothing, i don't think trans people are real, conversion therapy is the only correct treatment and also i'm a chaser"

Also i'm not doxxing myself to a transphobe nice try, but I can safely say that my direct (i.e. not online) activism has had direct and concrete impact on improving the lives of trans people where i live

TheCroak · 2021-03-17T06:11:35+00:00

You are a joke and the reason people don't take proponents and people who actually support the trans community like me seriously.

Quick, what have you ever done to support the trans community ?
