I think that my blood is actually boiling: NEW YORK magazine launches an attack on Abigail Shrier & us - claiming our feminism is based on "scientific misinformation and cruelty."

BEB, I'm as incensed as you, but when I saw these accusations I got some ideas about what perhaps should be our theme songs.

Nick Lowe's "Cruel to Be Kind" from 1978: https://youtu.be/YWdJdrSti2g

Oingo Boingo's "Weird Science" from 1985: https://youtu.be/Jm-upHSP9KU

"Reproduction" from the musical "Grease 2" in 1982 featuring Tab Hunter https://youtu.be/0ygx2qljUQM

"Evo-Devo" from A Capella Science in 2017: https://youtu.be/ydqReeTV_vk

Jewel Akens singing "The Birds and The Bees" in 1964: https://youtu.be/NAPoxEdwLJM

"Sexual and Asexual Reproduction" by a rapper named SquidBooks in 2019: https://youtu.be/CZmaC_2-sYo

"Science Wars" from Asap Science in 2015 https://youtu.be/LTXTeAt2mpg

"Sexual vs. Asexual Reproduction" from Science Rap Academy in 2019: https://youtu.be/BNHZYdpdql4

Also, whilst I was looking up science-related songs on YT, this vid of "Situation" by Yazoo from 1982 appeared on my feed: https://youtu.be/MUijJbEyMiI

Since Alison Moyet the female singer-songswriter of Yazoo is firmly in the GC camp, I'm going to rewrite "Situation" as "Procreation."

Then again, here is what might be the first anti-bullying PSA ever: Elvis Presley performing "Don't Be Cruel" on the US TV program The Ed Sullivan Show in 1956 and 1957. Notice how all the cameras were trained on his head, shoulders & upper torso so as not to show his rockin' pelvis that got all the girls in the audience screaming their heads off. Coz sex was a thing even back then as it's been for about 2 billion years, LOL. https://youtu.be/N81IktPflsA

Within Temptation's 'Entertain You' has been my mantra of late...

I like how they describe Abigail Shrier, a Jew, as 'non-Christian'. It's like the way the Queer movement describes gays and 'cis non-straights'.

If they were to call her a Jew while criticizing her, they might have a real problem on their hands.

This is pure projection. Personally what I believe to be “scientific misinformation and cruelty” is telling delusional people that their delusions of being the opposite sex are true, SCIENTIFICALLY VALID, and then physically carving the human body with hormones and a scalpel to make it look a bit more like that. That’s fucking abhorrent.

I’m very genuinely here out of compassion and concern. These people were my friends, I don’t think transition helped them, I don’t think it helps the vast majority of people with gender identity disorders.

Of course they have to say garbage like this or the entire jig is up, they transed an entire generation of people extremely wilfully. Regret rates are soaring, this is completely pathetic.

I sometimes hate the handmaidens the most.

I think we need to launch a campaign to inform New York magazine what real feminism is. This shall not stand.

Thanks to Ovarit for this! Here is a link to the discussion on Ovarit:

One of the Trans Fans of this garbage is a "Katelyn Burns," who I clicked on and just from the eyes, you can tell it's a man. Just from the eyes. In fact, I got a really creepy vibe from his eyes.

You should do a deep dive - you'll probably be amused - but stay out of his way - DO NOT INTERACT.

Kiwifarms.net probably has a lot.

Just scrolling thru the pix on Kiwifarms. Serial killer eyes for sure. Scary as all hell. And people send him money? One person on there commented on a group shot of these ugly men that "I know these things are genetic dead ends but why do they seem to be multiplying?" I've almost finished clicking any GC threads on Twitter bc there are so MANY of these AGP men there. What went wrong with all these men? I expect men to watch porn and say vulgar things, and even for some to hurt children (sickos all through time), but this pathetic female impersonator addiction -- and our insurance rates go up on behalf of this sick addiction. I don't think mental illness has been catered to on such a grand scale ever.

How can any woman see this and her flight response doesn't immediately kick in?

There's a review of Abigail Shrier's book that I stumbled upon, written by some right wing guy and he just calls a spade a spade about autogynephiles - he says flat out these are sick, dangerous, men who get turned on by dressing in women's clothing and humiliating women (I'm paraphrasing) But I don't think he's clued into the terminology -he's just an older guy (I think) who's been around and actually figured it out.

I will send you the review if I find it again.
