Small things you can do to fight back

submitted by BEB from self.GenderCritical

  • Many corporate/ politicians' websites have comment forms. Use Tor browser to keep yourself anonymous and comment using these forms when a politician or a corporation endorses gender identity policies or gender ideology.

I read a suggestion, which I think is fantastic, to sign yourself "Karen Terf" - that way you're not making up a name that might belong to a real woman and also signalling that it's a movement and we're not going to take the the Cult of Genderology's shit anymore.

  • Call your elected officials. In the US, you can use *67 to hide your number (not sure if it works, but it's supposed to).

Elected politicians in the US (according to them) are not legally allowed to reveal your information or penalize you for your opinions, so if you feel comfortable you could give your real name.

Or use "Karen Terf" and tell the politician's office that transgender activists are allied to Antifa and routinely threaten women and their families. Reference them to the Wi Spa protest video and how Trantifa surrounded that woman who looked like Every Soccer Grandma if they doubt you.

  • talk to people. The electrician, the cashier, the receptionist. Plant the seeds. The Wi Spa incident and the Olympics are good ways to start the conversation.

THE VAST MAJORITY OF PEOPLE ARE ON OUR SIDE, we just have to be like the child in the Emperor's New Clothes and break the gender spell. By calling out the pretzel logic of gender fantasy, we allow normies to no longer doubt their own thoughts and also to speak out themselves.

I'm kind of done with "gender critical" because it's too clunky and makes no sense even to me. I'm going to call myself part of "The Biological Reality Movement" and let the genderists ties themselves in knots trying to explain why biological reality is bigoted/unscientific/transphobic/ hurts their wittle fee fees.

If you ever need to give an anonymous disposable email for a comment form on a corporation/ politicians' website, use could Tor browser and then Guerilla Mail.

You can use Guerilla Mail to write letters to the editor, but it might go into the recipient's spam folder.

But at this point, there are so many people speaking out about the crazier parts of gender ideology that I wouldn't worry that much about being super extra paranoid in some (not all) online situations. For example: sending letters to the editor, or politicians, etc., get a proton or tutanota email account and let it rip. Sign your missive Karen Terf so they know there's a lot of us out there.

If we all speak out, there will be way too many of us for them to attack us all. So as many of us as can SAFELY speak out, should, because the gender lobby is getting laws passed from the local to the federal level without any scrutiny or pushback because the press is in on it and because the populace is frightened. Well, really only TERFs- in the US conservatives are not frightened to speak out.

I personally use ProtonMail but have heard Guerilla is good too. I would not use tor, per se, given another alternative because many places do block Tor relays. Many places (windscribe etc) offer VPN for free or free trial or cheap.

I am about as far away from an internet expert as one can be, but in my search for internet security advice I did read that some free (and paid) VPNs keep track of your searches and could be forced to give them over to the government.

Not that I have anything to hide, but with the way the US government is rapidly constricting our right to free speech, I don't particularly want them knowing my search history. So I would trust Tor over a free VPN.

I have a paid VPN that I use on another computer, and I don't feel as comfortable with it as with Tor, but again I'm the opposite of an internet expert so everyone should do their own research.

It's possible to layer them, or it was.

At a point, I was into all this, Tor, i2p, layer-over-layer with VPN, anonymous accounts everywhere, encryption. What you say is true, and if I felt risk my optimum tool would probably be NordVPN + Proton. Nord isn't US and no less than Josh Moon of KiwiFarms vouches for it. KF is the ONLY REASON that we knew about Yaniv, remember, because every SM was shutting us down with the name of HIM. GenderTrender/WP, gone. PeachYogert on YT, gone. Mumsnet thread, gone. Then WP went in and edited 4thwavenow.

Remember those days? Well it is important to realize that Twitter was banning respected educated people like Meghan Murphy and Lindsay Shepherd and about 100 more of us for this guy. I myself was bounced in 2018 from Reddit Admin for Yaniv, but now we see Reddit admin includes people like Amy Chancellor. If Yaniv hadn't gone full Yaniv with his racism (like calling Sikhs racial names and saying they don't bathe or whatever) and then targeting women of this ethnicity, the tribunal might have just made him $6,000 richer. Who cares about women. Who even cares if you're a pedo. But racism, that's bad.

Clownworld isn't it?

I'll look into Nord, thanks!

Do you think that Tutanota (which does get your IP address) is trustworthy?

[–]WrongToy 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (5 children)

Tutanota

I have not heard about them. Which doesn't mean anything bad, but more people seem OK with protonmail. Does this particular service have a feature that protonmail does not?

[–]BEB[S] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (4 children)

Tutanota is out of Germany. Unlike Proton Mail, it doesn't ask for a phone number, but it does log your IP, which it claims it doesn't keep. It's often recommended for people who want anonymous email.

[–]WrongToy 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

Can you sign up through it via Tor? Or even some VPN if Tor blocks it? If they're not a US VPN, then the US would have to ask the government under which this VPN is to intervene.

Protonmail now asks for a phone? That really sucks.

[–]BEB[S] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

Tutanota used to claim that you can sign up using Tor, but I tried signing up for Tutanota via Tor too many times to count. Only once did I get an email address, but then it didn't work. Nor did the recovery code they gave me, so now I've given up trying via Tor.

I also tried on the computer I have an expensive VPN on and Tutanota blocked that VPN.

However, (hypothetically - I haven't tried this because I've given up on Tutanota) if you have an old device, you can wipe it, go to a public wi-fi, sign up for Tutanota, then wipe it again. Then use Tor or a trusted VPN when you use Tutanota.

Proton Mail asked me for a phone # a few years ago, not sure what it requires now, but you can access Proton via Tor no problem. I don't use Proton Mail though.

[–]WrongToy 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

I did a proton for a friend maybe six months ago without the phone number. Mine's a bit older (also no phone number).

Sometimes security options go more analog. Old school. If a signup can't be done through VPN, that's really strange considering that even Norton is bundling that now.

But still, Tukanota is now saying they get your IP but don't retain it.

Therefore you could go to a public library terminal or Kinko's or whatever and log on with not only their IP but the device's ID. If they did retain it, they now have info on some other wifi and device.

And if IP is the sole concern, you could just duck into Starbucks or McDonald's to use theirs.

I think it is a real shame that we are talking using these deep encryption tactics because of genuine political persecution. How can I see what's going on with WiSpa, women beaten in the street by these transactivists and not see this? The whole state of California now making it so that 300 TIMs can sachay into women's prison? There are only two women's prisons and only seven TIFs that have expressed ANY interest in transferring to a men's (they will renege on this interest guaranteed).

The raging helplessness I feel.

We lost the battle in mainstream SM years ago sister did we not. That is why we are here.

Blue states, the battle is lost. Anywhere liberal really has turned it over to the transactivists. It's like we're George Wallace yelling "segregation forever" if we don't want naked pulsating cocks of people we do not know next to the hot tub or doing hot yoga nude in our sauna.

And separately I told SO all about Laurel Hubbard yesterday. He REFUSES TO BELIEVE THIS STORY IS TRUE. He literally thinks it's just an Internet rumor because if it isn't then "the whole world is going to look at that and laugh!"

Well we've been counting on that since 2014, whereas the whole zeitgeist since has been to NOT laugh. Don't laugh at even the most ridiculous examples or how they act in the most ridiculous ways. And when you do, expect an army of cancel culture that might even infect your congress critters' office meaning that you can't send them a US Mail with a return address--which is the correspondence they tend to elevate. Nope now we have to have conversations about how to even get our message to you so you don't see us as Russian spam or worse.

At this point some radfems from r/gc would be like well wrongtoy, what does it come down to with you? Like this issue versus abortion?

Way it stands, some states have the nads to have enacted actual statutes saying some things are based on biological sex, not how you feel you would prefer to not be your biological sex. They are doing so especially around Title IX and sports. This is supposed to be an "originalist" court, and the original opinion was that discrimination be banned based on biological sex.

So I'm for anyone with that kinda power who can push that argument. Even though obviously we disagree on abortion. Other things.

Even if someone is 80, 90 percent right I will stand with the 10 and 20 when something is wrong. Like this.

Here's a small thing. A smaller thing than what you said, but every little bit helps.

For the past 15 months or so I've been very active on this political annex that came out of a sports board. And I have discussed and am discussing this issue now. Everyone's like, "oh, she's the only one that's OBSESSED WITH IT" and I'm like "because I'm the only one WHO IS NOT A GUY HERE."

Cue the transactivist. He comes in crying, saying that he refuses to leave his house, in METRO SEATTLE, unless it is at 3 AM because of "transphobes." Which he of course labels me as. I'm like, Bub, I'm a thousand miles from you at least for one. And even if you lived down the street from me, you think I'm going to make a special trip to TERF you out? My whole thing is to avoid having any contact or confrontation with you.

I pointed this out to these guys as kinda a long timer by now: You guys would have ripped my pus-sy out if I'd said anything like this, probably in a more misogynistic way than I just did. But this MALE comes in crying and being more p-like (sorry I realize this is not feminist but I'm REALLY ANGRY) and you just let him ACT LIKE STEREOTYPICAL BEYOND P because he doesn't have one and then you do this wounded bird thing, men?

You're so sorry that this person might do what, not take their meds? They feel so bad that they can't leave their house unless it's the middle of the night? Who the hell is paying for the house or is he living with MOMMY because MOMMY sees you as her long-term health care plan when she starts to go downhill? I can already see what someone like this does when confronted with having to build a wheelchair ramp or even contracting for this. This guy probably can't even call Roto-Rooter for his mom after he shoves his ass-tampons down the toilet.

Oh and then the 41 percent. Well cry me a river. How many young women between the age of 12-24 did not swallow an extra Tylenol or cut themselves or try to starve themselves to death or whatEVER shit? Probably more than 41 percent over that period of time in some areas, I reckon.

I think what you're doing is great and love your writing style!

What you could also point out is that Post- Wi Spa, trans activists and their enablers are now lecturing women that it's our fault that we didn't teach our kids to look away from their penises when they're in women's spaces.

And if our kids do look at their dicks, well, they shouldn't be traumatized because dicks are a natural part of life that everyone should be exposed to, including 6-year-old girls.

Yet these same trans activists threaten suicide when "mis-gendered." So who are the babies?

Well I'm doubly angry because of that recent video by some WHITE BRITISH MALE that he had just gotten surgery in LA and was now identifying as KOREAN. And specifically, Ji-min, the first name of his boy-band K-pop crush. That's what set me off initially with these guys so I'm on fire. You all were mad about last summer and Black Lives Matter, you'd be hitting the roof if it's a video about some white guy trying to be "Sambo" and here you are telling ME to be charitable? One generation back from mine, we don't know what relatives we have who are unaccounted for and we hope that they and their ancestors are dead frankly. Because we are talking about North Korea here with forced labor, gas chambers and all of that to present day.

That's my history and this fecking asshole with $150K to burn comes in to surgery, comes out looking like he's Joan Rivers having gotten in a bar fight, he misprounces the three words of Korean he actually says, and he's full Korean because he IDENTIFIES and that's his pronoun. And he's enbie, just so he lets you know.

Yeah, like men are full women when they say.

At times like this, I always think of people like Blaire White. Rose of Dawn. Miranda Yardley. Toni Roche. Catlady789 got banned today on Twitter, but before that them.

They're all trans and besides Blaire, not conventionally attractive. But I gotta say if I saw them in the bathroom today, I could live with it. Because all of these people aren't going flashing their balls or their Jonathan Yaniv enhancement and wanting fishing compliments. They've already made it clear that when it comes to biological females, they're not one! Blaire won't even go in the locker room because of pre-op status. I mean here, you see them at least caring and genuinely kinda getting it, you know.

For every one of these trans-allies I know, or maybe you know, how many are sincerely crazy? Zinnia Jones, who does enemas to simulate pregnancy and brags on SM? Morgane Oger, who attempted to have a rape crisis center shut down because they wouldn't bed TIMs right next to females? Oger's former friend, Jessica Yaniv, now convicted of one charge and facing four more criminal ones plus a whole entanglement of "he said/she said" slapfighting while calling their local firefighters 30 times in 14 days for them to extract his carcass from the bathtub? There are so many, aren't there. Onision and his prior non-dysphoric, female "husband" that he lured as a minor. Kat Blaque and the droning about how BDSM is so kewl and real wammin should want to be slapped to test boundaries. Even their notion of abuse isn't ANYTHING like what most women experience. Maybe not even most men.

I will not be voting for any federal Democrat in 2022 and 2024 despite having been with them on covid and now with them on climate. It is my opinion that these issues, while politicized, tend to get more rational discussion and thus can more be left on their own. The consequences however of an Equality Act foisted by these like-minded individuals has a very significant and predictable impact.

There are enough states that have passed enough legislation that at some point this issue ends up in SCOTUS if those states don't concede. And SCOTUS has decided nothing about gender identity that's more pressing than "Aimee" gets to wear your work skirt and call herself "Aimee" because just as women can wear pants, men can wear skirts. At some point they are going to have to deal with Title IX, the biological discrepancies that inspired the "sex" designation, and how that squares with gender identity. God, I hate them so much in all other ways, but Amy Barrett and Brett Kavanaugh might do their bit to protect women after all, while of course descimating their right to abortion.

I said it at r/gc, I'm not big time 2-party because I've thought both were just structures that feminists had to work through and work around. There aren't any friends there. All the "stuff" for trans people is 95 percent for TIMs anyway.

Biden's administration is working at light speed to dismantle women's human and civil rights, so even if the Equality Act doesn't pass, it's in effect.

I will NEVER forgive the Democrats for this.

I'm mixed-race and my dark-skinned race often gets "culturally appropriated." I take it as a compliment, but then I grew up in a time when people were way more relaxed about race and a good % of Americans - and I went to a very mixed-school - just got along on a personal level.

The website womenarehuman.com provides action items with their news stories.

From personal experience, I've seen more and more people waking up to this ideology. I had a friend who a few months ago asked me 'What's transgender?' I didn't get into it, because I didn't have the time or energy at that time for that conversation. Recently she brought up Elliot Page and we both agreed that there was something discomforting about that situation, and that elective double mastectomies were not something to promote or celebrate.

I'm typically reluctant to broach the subject of transactivism or gender ideology, because it's too difficult to explain it to the uninitiated, without being accused of being a bigot. Incidents like the one at Wi Spa are ones that I can point to to illustrate the manifest harms of transactivism. Many people find concepts like 'female erasure' too abstract, but it's not hard for me to explain why I have a problem with males exposing their genitals in women's spaces, and most people (males and females) intuitively understand that concern.

I can't wait for the Tokyo Olympics to peak everyone.

[–]BEB[S] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

I think I'm really lucky because I must live in a different world from so many of you and the women on Ovarit, because I don't feel any worry about bringing these issues up in real life. Even when I lived/worked in Wokeville, there were a lot of people who considered all this madness.

I think starting from something that just about everyone agrees on like men in locker rooms where babies are is better than trying to explain that the dangers of gender ideology are much larger than accommodating a tiny group of "oppressed" men. Instead, gender ideology is about erasing women and the nature of humankind itself.

So, at first, I stick to pointing out that self-ID means any man or any group of men can be in the locker room with their daughter, including her stalker. And then I start telling them about how much TiMs (89-95% approx.) keep their wenises, etc.

I have peak transed so many people just running errands. The only thing that worries me is that the Democrats are being blamed for this perversion (as they should be) and I really fear, and predict, it will mean GOP control for the foreseeable future. And even if I liked the Republicans, which I don't, I don't think one party controlling the government is good for any country.

Edited to add: I agree that WomenAreHuman.com is a fantastic site and a great one to give out to people to show them what's really going on in Translandia.
