Yeah, I did see AGP being mentioned in a lot of tweets but couldn’t track down the starting point (hence asking here). Now it seems they’ve moved on to calling Lindsay a small dicked hobbit with erectile dysfunction. So I think the argument has degenerated into name calling.

Funny. For the group that gets the most deeply offended when their own valuation as a person is based solely on their bodies, they're quick off the line to weaponize insults against the bodies of others.

Remember: a quote from Herber Marcuse - Repressive Tolerance, one of the most influential essays ever written

"Liberating tolerance, then, would mean intolerance against movements from the Right, and toleration of movements from the Left."

It's not hypocrisy when they do this. They really do believe that their own thoughts should be tolerated up to and including violence, and that it is no problem to censor others. Their rules are for us to follow, not them. And they've got a half century of heavyweight intellectuals backing them up.

True. The reason they became the front line against TRAs is because they are trigger happy to attack male anything. Most people were still "trying to be nice" to the few transgender people you were aware of but the hint of a Y chromosome entering the chat sent them attacking the AGPs.

That's one positive effect that Saidit has had on me. I can quote the Pyramid of Debate by heart now and know that name-calling is just someone who has lost an argument.

I love being on other sites that allow image posts and displaying the PoD and pointing out that they're on the lower levels, then quoting my own argument and pointing out it's near the top. It's a great way to invite a ban.

There was a Genderspec conference with some APG attendees.

There was a photo of one in a skirt go spinny dress which triggered women who still can't accept male sexuality is a thing (the other AGPs were less stereotypical).

Then a transwidow had a sob story that they had tried to trick (invite) her into a group photo with the AGPs which is a terrible thing because she is a victim so can't be in the same room as them without crumbling into a pile of ash.

I guess the whole issue is whether you really think that AGP is a special case which needs to be excluded when you have men all around you perving over you and other things all the time in a less obvious way.

Was James Lindsay at the conference or did he say something online to trigger them?
