Announcement: new mod

kwallio · 2022-01-12T23:01:00+00:00

Thanks for modding.

kwallio · 2022-01-09T08:16:05+00:00

I think its basically horseshoe theory in action - they just flipped to another, violent intolerant cult except this one is nominally on the left.

kwallio · 2021-12-31T00:11:26+00:00

Actually the 41% figure has been debunked - It was about self reported rates of suicidal ideation. Not even attempts or completed attempts. If there was an actual epidemic of trans suicides where would be tons of articles about it not just random articles from trans activist organizations. Like everything else trans activists say its a complete lie.

dude must have deleted because I tried searching for that username and came up with bupkis.

kwallio · 2021-12-20T02:57:46+00:00

So female pain is still fetishized even when they're a man? Quelle surprise.

kwallio · 2021-11-12T23:54:08+00:00

Its one of those idiot thought experiments that is meant to induce confusion and make people believe weird things. Its actually a cult recruitment tactic. The thing is everyone knows what the word 'mother' means. Its both a biological reality and a social role, and an adoptive mom is a real mom but just not a biological mom. It has zero relavance to trans anything.

kwallio · 2021-11-12T00:36:27+00:00

If you search youtube for 'transvestigations" you'll find a bunch of videos dedicated to looking at celebs and deciding if they are trans or not. Some of them are interesting, some of them are clearly weird. Most tims pass better when they are younger, by the time they hit 25+ they start to look more manly and less androgynous and then don't pass as well. In the Im Poppy video he looks like a teenager and I wouldn't have thought he was male if I didn't know.

kwallio · 2021-11-12T00:32:07+00:00

The fact that she was so tall at such a young age makes me think shes female. She does have a somewhat ambiguous looking face tho.

kwallio · 2021-11-12T00:30:46+00:00

And the fact that when she did punch her she laid her out with one punch.

kwallio · 2021-11-10T21:29:36+00:00

Its kind of hard to tell. She does look taller and more muscular than just about anyone else on both teams, tho.

kwallio · 2021-11-10T03:53:12+00:00

Why do they always look like that. He may be wearing gold lame pants but he still doesn't belong in the ladies.

kwallio · 2021-11-07T13:27:58+00:00

I think quite a few people think it is BS but go along with the crowd.

kwallio · 2021-11-03T04:15:11+00:00

Actually this is hotep bullshit. Different sort of bullshit altogether but no less anti-scientific and stupid.

kwallio · 2021-11-03T04:12:52+00:00

I thought there was a way for mods to download the entire reddit (eta - I meant subreddit) but maybe I was mistaken.

kwallio · 2021-11-02T02:50:39+00:00

Did anyone go and archive the tia subreddit? I know that when r/gendercritical took the hit the mods were bummed they didn't archive it before bannination. There were some posts that they wanted to save but forgot.

kwallio · 2021-11-02T01:20:59+00:00

The original concept was coined so that black women or other POC women (but black women specifically) could have the words to talk about overlapping oppression, like both black and female, or black, female, and lesbian. But it quickly was taken by the wokerati and turned into the oppression olympics (which TIMs won, apparently). Its lost all meaning and nowdays means "including men" in everything. Personally I think its lost whatever it once had as a concept and should basically be thrown out.

kwallio · 2021-10-24T11:11:11+00:00

All three of them look completely nuts.

kwallio · 2021-10-15T13:45:38+00:00

If I recall correctly the number of characters on all the star trek shows that I saw that got laid at all is in the single digits.

As far as I know O'brien was the only member of engineering to get any action. I didn't watch Voyager or any later shows tho, so I'm going off of TOS, TNG, and DS9.

kwallio · 2021-10-14T21:59:02+00:00

Worf and Geordi's characters were victims of racism

Wait what? I mean some of Worf's treatment in the series was because he was a Klingon, are they saying it was because Worf was played by Michael Dorn (a black man)? My mind is kind of boggling. What was wrong with the way Geordi was treated? Its been a while since I saw the series but I don't remember any racism.

kwallio · 2021-10-14T21:55:23+00:00

There is no way I'd actually get a tattoo there.

kwallio · 2021-10-14T21:54:48+00:00

But this never happens!

kwallio · 2021-10-14T00:06:55+00:00

Why should law define the way people are

Says the person of the group demanding the law define intervene on their behalf.

kwallio · 2021-10-14T00:00:38+00:00

I think for many people the feeling of wrongness that you feel doesn't necessarily mean that you are something else. Being or feeling wrong doesn't logically progress to "and that meant I'm something else". You can feel all sorts of feelings about your body without necessarily making the leap to "and therefore I'm something else". I don't get that leap also, like lovesloan says despite everything you don't really understand what its like to be a female.

kwallio · 2021-09-21T04:44:09+00:00

He could have just developed a meth habit instead, and not made himself sterile in the process.

kwallio · 2021-09-18T01:18:00+00:00

Well that face is hella creepy. I like the dress tho, would be great on literally anyone else.

kwallio · 2021-09-18T01:09:23+00:00

Thanks for bringing this up, I like the lolita fashion trend (even though I would look ridiculous in it) and follow some lolita blogs etc. They NEVER call out the trans ppl for their shitty coords and wigs.

kwallio · 2021-09-17T11:16:47+00:00

Its actually kind of hilarious how un-self-aware AGP people are. I read an account of a guy who transitioned, detransitioned, then retransitioned and went through that entire process at least twice. Never realizing the whole time that his desire to transition was due to his libido, and that when he was on blockers and hormones his desire to live as a woman went kaput. This guy will probably retransition.

kwallio · 2021-09-07T08:01:57+00:00

Imani is such a fucking tool.

kwallio · 2021-09-01T21:32:59+00:00

I finished grad school and decided there was no way I could ever deal with academia ever again. I could not have dealt with a student that kept on changing names all semester, I probably would have made them pick one. Teaching is a ton of BS to start with, having students changing names is outrageous.

kwallio · 2021-09-01T21:30:04+00:00

This is legit the most disappointing thing about the whole gender "debate"...the other side is unimaginably stupid. Its like debating with a bunch of loud pigeons.

kwallio · 2021-09-01T21:29:17+00:00

Hm, I wonder what it is that female humans and female deer have in common.

kwallio · 2021-08-30T22:05:07+00:00

I swear none of these people know shit about punk rock, from saying Kurt Cobain was trans because he wore dresses (a punk rock thing you morons) to this lady thinking Tonks was genderfluid because she dresses in a punk way.

kwallio · 2021-08-29T11:38:45+00:00

I mean if I had to go along with trans dogma or lose my job I would probably say what I had to in order to stay employed. But in my view transgenderism is basically a delusion, a false idea that changing sex is possible, or that brains have a sex and that one has or can have the brain of a different sex. Every study on the human brain in the different sexes has shown that apart from a slight difference in size (female brains are smaller) there are no measurable or significant differences in the brain between the sexes . So no, I don't believe that anyone can actually be trans.

kwallio · 2021-08-28T23:47:44+00:00

I don't really believe that transgenderism, or gender dysphoria is really a thing. A person wearing the opposide sex's clothes or presenting as the opposite sex is just crossdressing. The trans concept is based in a foofy religous like concept of inner essence which as an atheist I reject completely. Your mind is an embodied concept, it does not exist outside of the body, so transgenderism is just religious-like hooey.

I would like a trans person to define what transgenderism means to them, including all trans people including people who don't crossdress or transition since no hatekeeping, ok?

kwallio · 2021-08-28T00:12:23+00:00

They unironically quote Buffalo Bill from the Silence of The Lambs.

kwallio · 2021-08-28T00:10:57+00:00

The tissue types are completely different. Mucous membrane is not the same as skin, and one can not change into the other, ever.

kwallio · 2021-08-25T03:34:27+00:00

Funny how there are only 2 comments and both of them are like, well, yeah, it happens.

kwallio · 2021-08-22T23:07:20+00:00

Why can't he just do heroin or something.

kwallio · 2021-08-12T07:22:09+00:00

He looks like a ghoul. Wtf was he thinking posting this pic? Even his nails look more like talons.

kwallio · 2021-08-12T07:20:59+00:00

I don't think the people running the religious soup kitchens thought that those conversions were genuine, either, its a power play.

kwallio · 2021-08-12T06:40:12+00:00

no
I was raised catholic, I dunno but I don't think I ever really believed in god. It just seemed too farfetched to me.
I feel like I'm a rationalist and I am GC mostly because I feel that there just isn't any good evidence that transition actually helps anyone, and the blatantly anti-science attitudes of the TRA crowd. Hardcore radfems also have their issues with science (and scientists) which is why I don't consider myself 100% a radfem.
I feel like much (most?) of trans rhetoric loops around into conservative christian/fundie religion rhetoric more often than not. The whole if you have short hair as a woman you are actually a boy/long hair you are actually a woman type of gender BS, the hard/rigid gender role adherence perpetrated by most trans, the idea that being same sex attracted is problematic in someway, the whole concept of gender seems to reflect a christian soul which I don't believe in, yes I think it does parallel religion and conservative religious attitudes towards sex and sexuality.

kwallio · 2021-08-11T00:04:03+00:00

What the crap is that even supposed to mean? They fail biology forever, like female hormones come from the ovaries, wtf.

kwallio · 2021-08-06T23:11:08+00:00

I'm kind of amazed when I see toddlers with tablets and so forth. Having a kid glued to an electronic device nonstop can't be good for them.

kwallio · 2021-08-04T21:29:21+00:00

clean and press

Also weightlifters were breaking their backs and becoming paralysed from doing this lift.

kwallio · 2021-08-04T21:27:45+00:00

I guess they're only at the olympics for ~validation and not to win. Which seems odd to me.

kwallio · 2021-08-04T21:26:55+00:00

If you watch the video its pretty apparent that he threw the weights away on purpose. He threw the competition.

I used to live in DC which is Virginia adjacent. Up until recently VA was hardcore red state. They do NOT fuck around when it comes to criminal justice, its like the deep south. If Chris does time it'll be in a men's prison.

This poor woman needs to drop all of her friends and give her sister a good yelling.

kwallio · 2021-07-26T10:41:23+00:00

You seem to be really tied up on the "appearance = reality" thing. Appearances are not reality. I don't think your examples pass, anyway.

kwallio · 2021-07-23T05:08:08+00:00

I don't really have a lot of sympathy for people who say they are non-binary. I have no idea what that really means except "I'm not like the other girls/boys" and "I'm super special pay attention to me". I understand the impulse to attempt to opt out of gender BS but the solution is not a new made up identity.

kwallio · 2021-07-22T21:48:42+00:00

Its an ego boost to be dating in stealth mode. They think they pass so well that their dates don't know that they are trans. The thought process that they might be doing something dangerous or any thought about the feelings of the other person basically doesn't happen, because they are obsessed with their appearance.

There was a post on saidit somewhere, either here on gendercritical or elsewhere where a TIM was on a date with a man and did the big reveal that they were trans and were disappointed and angry that the man said that he knew and accepted the TIM for who he was. He was mad that he didn't pass and didn't get the ego boost of the gasp "but I thought you were totally a woman" experience.

My take on this is that trans people mostly live in a self-created fantasy world, anything that intrudes on this creates huge psychic problems and must be eliminated asap.

You are right that this creates problems for the trans person, because they are addicted to their fetish or preoccupation with passing and thus can't get a true relationship, which has honesty as a foundation. As we've seen with people becoming trans in the context of an already existing relationship, they are just fine with throwing away a long term relationship in service to their trans identity. I don't understand it either but that is what they do.

kwallio · 2021-07-22T21:20:54+00:00

Thats really interesting, thanks for posting. I've thought occasionally about going into crime scene clean up because I am a night person and would like to get into a job that works nights. I don't know if I'd be able to handle it, though.

kwallio · 2021-07-20T23:11:06+00:00

All the blogging sites that I can think of ban people for gender critical views, like medium or wordpress or blogger. Substack is pretty much the only one I can think of but I guess you can't be anonymous. You can always try to set up your own website but that costs money and could potentially be traced back to you anyway.

Tumblr is one option but its not exactly a serious blogging site. But you will be able to write and interact how you please, I have seen some GC tumblrs get nuked but mostly they were being very provocative. If you don't post harassment I think you should be ok.

kwallio · 2021-07-18T03:49:05+00:00

Tra narratives and ideology aren’t really sustainable

Totally agree.

The TRAs have adopted an untenable position longterm - total agreement on all issues and terminology with no debate, ever, even as those issues and terms change on the daily. Absolutely no safeguarding or waiting required when children are involved, must validate the trans identity. Its completely bonkers and like you said, unsustainable.

kwallio · 2021-07-17T19:15:02+00:00

I go so back-and-forth about this. It's really, really hard to not be polite, and it sounds bad in my mind, but the way many radical feminists deliberately embrace that form of social disobedience on principle not only makes sense from a woman's perspective (or so I intuit), but I can see the logic behind it being kinder to not entertain or encourage what might be considered mental illness or just harmful/unsafe behavior.

I actually feel this pretty hard. Everyone pretty much is socialized to not rock the boat and to accomodate people, pushing back against people is hard.

kwallio · 2021-07-17T01:23:34+00:00

I think mostly its been a wash. I feel like the qt position has been pulled out into the open more, but the backside of that is that its been increasingly obvious that women and the reality based community are losing, badly.

The qts have made quite the asses of themselves, from the NYT article about someones nb status being meaningless when she was alone to the whining about trans surgeries being put off due to covid.

For me personally the pandemic has made me less inclined to give qt the benefit of the doubt and has essentially made me more extreme in my terfery. I used to be of the "its not a big deal to use neo/cross sex pronouns, costs $0 to be polite" type of person and have gone hard in the other direction because being "nice" is never reciprocated.

I think in my case being isolated from my very liberal very woke very pro-trans friends sort of did this, because you never want to be the one with no friends but a year without hanging out with them made me realize that they weren't really my friends anyway. Very few of them ever made the effort to check in, so screw it.

kwallio · 2021-07-16T05:50:58+00:00

You can't change your sex and humans have two sexes and are sexually dimorphic.

kwallio · 2021-07-15T20:53:08+00:00

Please read a book, any book.

kwallio · 2021-07-12T09:30:37+00:00

gave me my name

You mean you took her name.

kwallio · 2021-07-11T22:43:40+00:00

Seems legit. Lets blame feminists for a bunch of things men do!

kwallio · 2021-07-11T22:42:16+00:00

Honestly tho, I used to be into the goth scene and there are actually people like this.

kwallio · 2021-07-11T02:08:45+00:00

The its maam thing was definitely not staged, the its maam person is active on social media and is quite the weirdo.

kwallio · 2021-07-09T21:39:46+00:00

We're arguing with someone who doesn't know shit about biology or genetics again, lol.

The link between inheritance and depression is imo not proved.

kwallio · 2021-07-09T21:18:32+00:00

You didn't answer my second question. What do you mean by genetic?

ETA - your sources don't exactly prove that depression is genetic. The first source doesn't give any proof and is imo wrong. It just talks about possible genetic links for depression and how inheritance works. Depression is much more correlated with negative experiences than any particular gene. The other paper is from 2011, the massive study showing that depression is much more related to negative experiences than genetics is much more recent that that. Look, I have depression and follow the news about it. YOu can't just say that depression is genetic and throw out a few sources because let me tell you, people have been trying to find a genetic link for depression for literally decades and have been unable to find it. If what you were saying was true and it was that robust you'd literally be getting a NObel prize or something.

kwallio · 2021-07-09T08:40:57+00:00

Depression is not genetic. IDK what you mean by genetic but you are not using it as a biologist would use it. Please explain what you mean by genetic. When I say depression is not genetic I mean that people tried for years with millions of dollars in research money to find a genetic link for depression and found nothing. Depression is highly correleated with negative experiences, not genetics.

kwallio · 2021-07-07T20:07:04+00:00

Hahahah you are really funny.

kwallio · 2021-07-06T05:04:18+00:00

countdown to bannination...

kwallio · 2021-07-06T05:02:53+00:00

There is a big difference between being nude in the company of women and children and throwing a dude schlonging dong in the mix.

kwallio · 2021-07-04T09:54:37+00:00

I dunno if you are serious or not but the one on the left is pretty clearly one of the beaches at Normandy during the invasion in WWII. I think the creator of the meme is trying to draw a distinction between what the guy on the right is saying and what the guy on the left actually went and did.

kwallio · 2021-07-02T20:08:00+00:00

And in a previous discussion I provided links to pdf textbook on human anatomy and physiology and they ignored that, too.

kwallio · 2021-07-01T20:50:41+00:00

I don't know what else to say except look up what a sperm is and look up what an egg is and then say the differences are arbitrary.

kwallio · 2021-07-01T20:44:59+00:00

Taking hormones to appear another sex or removing breasts is not the same as chopping off an arm.

Why tho.

I mean seriously the distinction seems be because trans ppl want it and they also have the conceit that they want think of themselves as normal, when these things are anything but normal. I mean I would like some sort of explanation was to why someone thinking that their arm is evil and must be removed vs the desire of some to remove their genitalia or breasts or something.

thisneverhappens is about documenting trans criminals. Cis people commit crimes too.

You seem to have completely missed the point of the hashtag, women complained that self id would mean that criminals would feel like they have a pass to enter women's spaces and commit crimes, and were basically shushed by people saying it would never happen. Its happened, and happening, as documented by the former reddit sub and now on ovarit. But the trans response seems to be LALALALA WE CAN'T HEAR YOU. Its infuriating. The fact that cis people commit crimes is completely beside the point.

kwallio · 2021-07-01T20:35:52+00:00

And what about women competing with transwomen? Its no fun for them either. Bullying with a ball basically sums up women competing with transwomen.

kwallio · 2021-07-01T04:42:38+00:00

I'm going to have to push back on the mental health aspect of this a bit. Is gender dysphoria a mental health problem or not? If not then whey all the medicalisation, surgeries etc? Why are people being told that trans people will literally commit suicide if they don't get what they want?

If it is a mental health disorder than why is only medical transition and not counseling or some other sort of therapy or mental health treatment part of the treatment plan? No other mental health disorder is treated like this.

The trans narrative on mental health vis a vis gender dysphoria is completely inconsistent. You seriously can't have it both ways, both a mental health conditions and completely normal, must be treated with transition only and no other mental health type treatment. Its ridiculous on the face of it.

People threatening suicide in any other context is typically considered manipulative behavior and should never be indulged. Except when someone is trans, for some reason.

kwallio · 2021-06-30T06:02:11+00:00

I, personally, would like some protection against pollen since I have some terrible allergies.

kwallio · 2021-06-30T03:09:12+00:00

no self id
no child transition
actual research on the benefits/liabilities of medical transition
commitment to free speech
and end to trans people lying through their teeth at every opportunity about themselves. Most are doing it for sexual/fetish reasons and are just lying about it. WE CAN SEE YOU.

eta - * end to trans homophobia/conversion rhetoric. We know you fetishize gay ppl, please stay out of gay spaces and stop preying on gays.

kwallio · 2021-06-30T03:02:18+00:00

So you admit you misunderstood what happened and just leapt to calling people bigots based on your misunderstanding and zero proof?

kwallio · 2021-06-30T02:59:56+00:00

A bunch of people who have more training in biology than you are telling you they are stupid questions. Listen to the experts (which are not you).

kwallio · 2021-06-30T02:58:51+00:00

Yes, true, trying to argue that there is no difference between male and female based on half baked ideas about bee biology is kind of idiotic.

kwallio · 2021-06-30T02:57:58+00:00

You are drawing inferences where no inferences should be made. The fact that some bees have haploid males doesn't mean anything except there are some bee species that have haploid male bees. That you can manipulate two sperm in a lab to do something doesn't mean anything except that - not that there is no difference between a sperm and an egg because there are very real differences between sperm and egg. Focusing on one tiny fact while ignoring 20 facts that run counter to your argument is not a way to get anyone's respect especially when you are arguing about science when you clearly have zero background in it.

kwallio · 2021-06-29T23:48:55+00:00

We tried being nice, all it got was more demands and more and more infringement on women's spaces. NO U.

kwallio · 2021-06-29T23:47:18+00:00

A random tumblr account is not really proof of anything, you are really reaching here.

kwallio · 2021-06-29T23:46:26+00:00

I didn't read the post or the links but in some bee species males are haploid, so you could in theory make a bee from two haploid sperm, it would just be a useless drone though.

kwallio · 2021-06-29T23:45:35+00:00

Please argue from human biology. Bees are not humans. Fungi are not humans.

kwallio · 2021-06-29T23:44:28+00:00

Can we please have a minimum karma rule for posting - this yet another blank account made in order to spam stupid questions at us.

kwallio · 2021-06-29T19:47:57+00:00

What did that spa do that was wrong? They complied with the law. According to CA law, it was the woman who was complaining that was in the wrong.

kwallio · 2021-06-28T20:36:01+00:00

I feel bad for the employees at the spa and the spa owners. If they kick him out they'll have a lawsuit on their hands, on the other hand they know its wrong.

kwallio · 2021-06-28T20:34:54+00:00

The boundary violation is the point. I got into an argument on reddit with some guy who was like "She didn't go to the spa to wave her dick around, she just wanted to relax!". Like, dude, you have no idea why the transwoman is there. Shut up.

kwallio · 2021-06-26T21:14:24+00:00

His form is just so terrible.

kwallio · 2021-06-26T09:12:15+00:00

I tend to just use the person's name or say "this person" instead since its less cumbersome. Even so why can't they (ha) just let people say "they" instead of whatever genderspecial pronoun they are demanding this week?

kwallio · 2021-06-26T09:05:44+00:00

Here is my view, however I'm pretty sure I am pretty liberatarian on this topic and not typical of most gender critical people. I think anyone should be able to medically transition if they are over 18 and want to. I don't think children (even pubescent children) should get any hormones and surgery. I don't think insurance should be paying for it, though. And I mean insurance shouldn't be paying for any of it - no hormones, no surgeries, nothing. I think transitioning is more or less akin to cosmetic surgery and shouldn't be covered by insurance. If you want to pay for it yourself though, do whatever you want.

I don't think that people should be able to change their birth certificates. Imo the birth certificate is a record of an event. Someone changing their gender presentation years later doesn't change what happened on that day. As for other legal documents, I think a transgender category would be more appropriate? I'm really not ok with having people change their legal documents becaues for example I don't want males to be incarcerated with females and if you allow a legal document change I don't see how you can reasonably disallow those types of things if you allow legal document changes.

I don't really consider myself a radfem. I'm more critical of gender than I am a radical feminist. I'm not really a libfem either, I guess I'm sort of homeless in the feminist movement. I've don't really believe that people can make a conscious choice to be attracted to another sex, I believe that sexuality is hardwired.

There are a lot of radfem blogs on tumblr, but I still see some of them getting banned occasionally.

Most of the comments I've seen on this topic say that trans identified individuals become "dysphoric" when the idea of interacting with same sex genitalia is broached. As usual with the trans it is the rules for thee but not for me narcissism poking out.

I only know one trans individual IRL and I honestly have no idea which sex this person prefers. If I were to guess I would think that they are a heterosexual before transition male but I don't get AGP vibes from this person. To me they seem heavily traumatized and just trying to deal.

Boy are they going to be surprised when they find out their sex lives are completely ruined and they have a pair of horrible wounds instead.

What is a female gender identity? What is a female gender? Can you describe what female and gender mean?

Good luck with that.

THis is actually not true, indigenous tribes and scientists have compared notes regarding the numbers of types of plants and animals in a given area and come up with the same types. The species concept may have issues in certain edge cases but as a whole it has held up. Species are real.

thisneverhappens is about documenting trans criminals. Cis people commit crimes too.
