I don’t know why they bother when they disqualify their own arguments by making a dick-sucking disclaimer that it’s “not directed at transbians and their girldicks uwu”

Come on, little tervens, just a little bit closer, you’re almost there. Come to to us, sweet terflings!

I am pretty delighted by how much hate they have for radfems. Radfem isn’t perfect by any means, but is a hell of a lot more coherent than their girl-dick pandering. I like that it makes them so uncomfortable. It means it’s working.

That was step one of me questioning gender ideology. I still felt the need to add all of those disclaimers and be like “oh I’m not like those hateful radfems and gatekeeping lesbians . . . But also what’s a radfem and where do they meet bc I have questions no one else wants to answer. TWAW. So valid. Thx bye.”

Every lesbian who says “this is not about trans women” knows she’s lying, and there is only so many times you can do that until you hate yourself. None of the lesbians there consider trans women “valid” lesbians. I don’t even mean it to be cruel, but if you’re a lesbian for real, you just don’t want people who are not real women. It’s the reason the vast majority of bisexuals don’t want to date trans people either. It’s a big ask, and for all of these women to keep pretending is just irresponsible down the line.

Fear of bullying inspires a lot of cognitive dissonance. They will peak when their internal capacity for logic runs these calculations enough times to come up with this inevitable result: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6DGNZnfKYnU

Agreed, fear of bullying is a big factor. I would guess a lot of people are just scared of losing what little support systems they have.

Yes, when you look around and see so many people joining the cult...what exactly do you do unless you are ready to potentially go it alone and also be ostracized? I myself have advised a vulnerable person or two to just play along with this shit quietly to save themselves while the rest of us work to dismantle it. I bet I'm not the only one, either.

Yeahhhh, to be honest that is where I am at, at least IRL. Not online though, this sub and s/lesbians have been a really supportive space :)

I relate to this on a deeply personal level. Thanks for communicating that so well LOL.

That's not about radical feminism though. Really, it is just about common sense and reality. This thing about blaming feminism, well, just show the misogyny of the movement.

Haha, this makes me remember this absolutely tortuous tumblr incident where a lesbian wrote a post complaining about heterosexism in the media. She was pulling apart some article about some boring straight couple and how great their sex life was or something, I can't recall exactly.

So then someone comes along, and is all, "but what about lesbians who date transwomen with dicks???" and then this OP had to tie herself up in knots explaining why that would be totally okay to be celebrated in the media, and would be so different from celebrating a het couple. To this day, I wonder if that person asking the question was a troll who just wanted to see a genderist make a fool out of themselves.

Yeah, it's totally different if the male wear a dress lol

Ahh, all she had to do was talk about the delicate mouthfeel and how it's totally not the same thing! And then call them transphobes for suggesting otherwise!

[–]writerlylesbian 19 insightful - 9 fun19 insightful - 8 fun20 insightful - 9 fun -  (1 child)

Mouthfeel is a word that is ruined forever. It should just be struck off the English language, preferably destroyed with a meteor or similar.

I didn't even know that word was being ruined until this week, and any further erosion of my ignorance is probably not bliss.

Ugh. Watching the bowing and scraping of the slavering trans-vassal circus is insufferable. Take a fucking stance, you half-wit traitors. I can honestly see the spittle flying and the trembling in my mind’s eye. Lol. It’s so pathetic.
