Oh wonderful. Male and female are literally sexist stereotypes now. Butch lesbians no longer women or female according to this.

According to these definitions I should consider myself to be trans legitimately

female (noun) a female identifying person

An interesting aspect of trans activism is how they get you to concede a minor point - for example, agreeing to use a trans woman's pronouns - and then push you as far as they can ("OK, you agreed trans women are women, you're attracted to women, have sex with me"). When I thought trans people just wanted to be addressed a certain way and left alone, I always found it strange how they almost seemed to be daring you to state the obvious reality you'd agreed to politely ignore.

At this point, I think the ideology is just designed to be obviously self contradictory. How else could someone write this circular definition of female and not even have a second of doubt? The point is that the movement naturally generates acceptable targets for these people to vent their buried feelings of rage and hurt - the death and rape threats, the mob violence, etc is the point. It's not a coincidence either these people target gay people and women, when it's recently become far less acceptable to publicly attack those people.

On the bright side, I think this movement will inevitably burn itself out because the average person won't be content to constantly walk on eggshells around any narcissist who decides to assume a gender identity. Most peak trans stories just involve interacting with a trans person, which I don't think bodes well for a mass movement.

A big thing with definitions like that is you can't translate them into other languages. In Dutch there's no word that means "a female identifying person" so that's a word that can't be translated now. Same with woman and man and all the other words they turned into circular definitions in English.

I think we're reaching the point where this will be what leads to the mass peaking; the public finally has to interact "up close and personal" with trans people and realize that their interacting with mentally ill people, not "let me live and love in peace" LGB 2.0.

I like how they try to frame detransition as something what only happens because of transphobia.

Yup. It's a total lie, and the only evidence that has EVER supported that claim was cherrypicked and from a convenience sample.

Yeah but when they even try to pretend to admit someone detransitions for reasons such us finding out not being actually trans then they'll say how incredibly rare it is during medical transition and that it's detransition when you change pronouns... yes I saw it and I just couldn't roll my eyes harder at how manipulative and deceiving this info was.

Dang. If this thing is the Bible, I guess that makes me a Satanist.

It's interesting that the author chose to title it "The Queens' English". The original dictionary of gay slang was compiled by Bruce Rogers in his book, "The Queen's Vernacular" (1972), also released under the title "Gay Talk". I own a copy. This knockoff, on the other hand, is homophobic trash.

Faggot: A gay man. While it originated as a slur, some members of the LGBTQIA+ community have reclaimed the insult, using it as a term of endearment or powerful personal identifier. Often shortened to "fag."

Excuse me? No.

The whole LGBTQIA+ community now gets to reclaim slurs that were targeted at GAY MEN?! So what can all "POC of color" also "reclaim" the n-word now?!!? So tired of seeing homophobic slurs everytime I try to find a same-sex attracted community, just got an invite to a "q*eer event" 🙄

Here is an interview with the author. It’s every bit as awful as you think it is.

Too right you are. And actually, from where I sit, it's even WORSE:

"I identify as being bisexual"

Oh no... :(

It's really something that that the entry for Feminism has an illustration depicting a protest where the most prominent figure holds a sign, "Trans Women Are Women". Literally depicted as the forefront of feminism. Another sign is "Black Lives Matter". Which fine, but it's not feminism. Such an insult.

  1. Look at how much space that triangle is taking up! Pretty soon the rainbow flag's going to buried under the weight of demographics that have nothing to do with being gay or bisexual.

  2. I'm really glad they put "Bible" on it because the word emphasizes that "Queer Theory" is an ideology, a belief system. And I don't want any of it, thanks. I don't believe in homophobic Christianity and I don't believe in homophobic "Queer Theory" bullshit.

Yep; It's officially an organized religion with shared dogma and brain-washed followers now. I'll be keeping watch up in the secular sentry tower if anyone needs me..

P.S. That detrans page with the example is total TRA propaganda. Wow, they really hate desisters.
