Thinking that being desirable to men = being a woman (or vice versa) is a very male thought.

They're stronger and bigger physically.

They also don't have to take time off from work to gestate or breastfeed a baby (which contributes to discrimination when being hired and contributes to the wage gap - many women get paid less simply because they make the decision to take more time off for their babies).

They can put off having children until they're in their 60s or 70s, whereas women have a biological clock and have to make sacrifices during their childbearing years if they want a career or vice versa (i.e. making career sacrifices to have children).

Yes! The man-hating is really gross and it's what really turned me off mainstream feminism when I was younger. I have a hard time on Ovarit because of the constant over-generalizations.

I read a comment somewhere from a teacher that said he had trouble teaching Brave New World nowadays to his students because they see it as an ideal world - one which to strive for.

purrvana · 2021-04-07T12:34:03+00:00

The communism thing... I think it's because these kids want to spend all their time on their phones and the internet but they don't want to work. Communism to them would mean a universal basic income where someone else would fund everything for them (kind of like all those GoFundMes that fund surgeries). This way, they can be on TikTok or YouTube as a career. Even if they only make a few dollars from it - it would be okay, because they have the UBI paying their rent/food. All the TIMs I know still live off their parents' money even though they're in their 30s, so I've seen this play out in real life. The TIMs are "professional gamers" but when I ask how much they make from their streams, they say nothing. Mom and Dad pay for rent/food while the government paid for their surgeries. The next step is for the government to pay for everything once the parents are out of the picture. They're basically kids who never grew up and need a higher power to take care of them and coddle them.

I feel like so many of these people are navel-gazing to the point where they have no real-life skills and can't work for themselves, and they don't see anything wrong with this. They feel entitled to everything - which includes the best parts of capitalism and the best parts of communism, but none of the downsides of either.

If she keeps her ovaries she can technically retrieve eggs and use a surrogate (although if her vagina is sewn shut, I'm not sure how - I'm not sure what a removal of the vagina entails tbh). I wouldn't put it past someone like this to outsource their fertility in this way when they realize what they've done.

purrvana · 2021-04-02T13:26:22+00:00

I know two TIFs and they both use their face as their profile photos. Although for transgender awareness day the other day, one of them posted a photo of herself with a furry during a pride parade :/

purrvana · 2021-04-02T13:03:24+00:00

I know multiple TIMs and they all have anime or cartoon profile pictures even though they're all in their 30s. Not a single other person I know in their 30s has a cartoon profile pic. I know one 18 year old girl who does, but that's it.

purrvana · 2021-04-01T22:27:26+00:00

Here's a "better" photo. Reddit's "female" mods

purrvana · 2021-04-01T12:26:24+00:00

On her instagram she posted photos of things that CAN be sold there - including stickers of catgirls showing their vaginas and a sweater covered in anthropomorphic dicks (didn't think I'd write that phrase today but there you go). Sickening.

Depressing.

Why do TRAs always have such poorly kept/dyed hair? At least they make it easy to avoid them.

These people are such snowflakes. And I used to hate that term but now I get it.

Romano notes that there are many who agree with Rowling’s views and that sales of the Harry Potter books have risen by 9% since Rowling wrote her blog in June.

We love to see it.

"Anatomy isn't male or female - it just is" - so why the push for puberty blockers and surgery? Why attempt to switch from one to the other? They always contradict themselves with their "logic".

purrvana · 2021-03-11T13:42:37+00:00

I don't think it's a coincidence that the two TIMs I know still live off mom and dad's money even though they're in their early/mid 30s.

purrvana · 2021-03-09T14:01:24+00:00

I wish I was as oppressed as an actress/princess/duchess who married into a $50M inheritance.

purrvana · 2021-03-09T13:58:04+00:00

I'll add Joe Rogan too since he has a significantly higher reach than the other guys you mentioned. All his podcasts about trans issues (like the ones with Debra Soh and Abigail Shrier) were censored off Spotify when he first joined. He had to work hard to get them back up. He was also called a transphobe while Spotify's staff threatened to walk out for giving him a platform.

purrvana · 2021-03-04T19:55:27+00:00

It's so ridiculous... since when have selfies been allowed on that sub? The fact that they're all only 75% upvoted gives me some hope.

I can't imagine ever posting my photo on reddit. Yech.

purrvana · 2021-03-04T14:49:43+00:00

Being muscular and having a good physique falls into the "personal responsibility" category. Getting fit isn't something that can be handed to you - you have to work for it, which lines up better with the conservative viewpoint of personal responsibility and working for what you have.

Most of the fitness influencers and youtubers I watch tend to be right-wing and I don't think that's a coincidence.

purrvana · 2021-03-02T19:38:18+00:00

Keep them busy with sports and hobbies. The more they fill their life with skills and hobbies, the less they'll feel like they have to create their identity with what they "feel". If your kid is too busy practicing their soccer skills in the backyard, they're less likely to be inside on the internet being indoctrinated.

And I agree with what the others here say - less internet (or more restrictions), and pay attention to what's being taugh to them in school.

purrvana · 2021-03-02T16:54:27+00:00

Yeah the weirdest part of 2020 for me wasn't the pandemic... it was finding out that I agree with all the people you listed above. I never thought I'd see a new Tucker Carlson or Ben Shapiro video and go "ooh! something to listen to during lunch" 😂 This is truly Black Mirror shit.

purrvana · 2021-03-02T13:24:38+00:00

I was so happy when I listened to this podcast the other day. It's on youtube too if you don't have apple: https://youtu.be/R225YKe2Ync

I personally love him because he dismantles TRAs arguments with such finesse. Watching him helped me understand how to take down the whole intersex argument.

purrvana · 2021-02-23T13:20:26+00:00

I always think of it as goth, skater, or emo, etc. We never put those things on your driver's license, so we shouldn't put 'gray-gender' or 'demi-gender' or 'non-binary', etc, either.

I watched her full "tell-all" on Daily Wire and she said they wanted her to apologize to 40 members of the LGBTQ over Zoom (not sure if they were Disney employees or what). She said no, because she didn't want them recording the screen and showing everyone the video of her groveling to strangers. She didn't want to be seen as caving to the mob. So she asked if she could take 5 or 6 of them out to dinner so they could have a real conversation about everything, and Disney said no.

She also found out that she was fired by Disney through Twitter.

purrvana · 2021-02-16T12:52:39+00:00

This is what Kellie Jay Keen said to do on her podcast a few weeks ago (after the Biden legislation happened). She said if a bunch of guys "pulled a Zuby" all at once, maybe the absurdity would be put on full view and we could get the legislation switched back without waiting years for the absurdity to be highlighted.

purrvana · 2021-02-09T13:58:47+00:00

At this point it just means "someone who believes in science".

Scrolling through there's a little article on the right that says "Person of the year" and it's a woman. So their female of the year is a man, their male of the year is a man, and their person of the year is a woman, lol. Clown world.

The only people in real life who have called me a TERF are men (former friends) who call themselves "male feminists". One literally has that written in his twitter bio.

I didn't realize how scummy they were until I started posting gender critical stuff on my facebook page or commenting on their pearl-clutching posts about JK Rowling. Having them tell me the "new" definition of woman is the only time I've legitimately felt mansplained to in real life.

purrvana · 2021-02-06T15:06:55+00:00

Yeah they're a bit too censorship-happy. I've had a few comments and posts removed. And they're very ideological/hivemind-y. I try to stay away from ideology because it's too much sometimes. Maybe if they were less strict with the circles and eliminated the downvotes it'd be better.

I like radfemmery for the memes, but I mainly stick to saidit's gc and lgbdropthet subs. I like seeing multiple different opinions, not the same opinion upvoted over and over.

Nikki Tutorials was on puberty blockers and still ended up 6'2". Jesus, I wonder how tall he was originally supposed to be.

Someone said "so if I wear women's underwear, I'm a woman?" and another responded "no, that's why sex and gender are different."

So why is PhilosophyTube suddenly a woman because he wears women's clothes???? They contradict themselves all the time.

purrvana · 2021-02-01T13:10:59+00:00

Gross.

Nikki Tutorials (TIM youtuber) has a Silence of the Lambs tattoo and I always thought that was incredibly disturbing.

purrvana · 2021-01-30T15:44:44+00:00

Understandable. I didn't mean to imply that I'd antagonize the mods, I'm sure their jobs aren't easy. It's just annoying that only certain conversations are allowed in certain spaces, and that the rules aren't necessarily applied consistently. After being censored once for a dumb reason, it just makes me less likely to engage - and I'm sure OP agrees. It's hard to have a nuanced conversation when you're removed for wrongthink. Anyway, to each their own.

purrvana · 2021-01-30T14:02:08+00:00

I'm 95% certain it wasn't rhetorical based on the context, but your reasoning makes sense.

I wonder if I'd get my comment removed for saying birth control can lead to a higher risk of a stroke - this is in line with what I shared about abortion (I said multiple abortions can lead to an increased risk of incompetent cervix which can lead to preterm miscarriage). I wonder if they'd treat the birth control information as "restricting reproductive rights" too. Hmm, maybe I'll keep that in my back pocket and bring it up over there one day.

Still, a woman's discussion board removing (well documented) medical info about women's procedures seems scummy.

purrvana · 2021-01-30T06:25:08+00:00

Hey, I saw your post and upvoted it, and I upvoted your censorship comment too because I thought it was bullshit that your comment was deleted. It wasn't uncivil (or whatever their excuse was).

I've been censored on Ovarit before for the dumbest reason. There was a post asking "why would people be pro-life anyway?" so I shared some reasons why people are pro-life (I've watched a lot of youtube videos about both sides), and I had my comment deleted for "sharing conservative talking points." It was like - wtf?? - the post was literally asking for the conservative position, so I shared it. And when I brought this up, they said some of the medical information was "misinformation"... okay, it wasn't (the medical info could be found on .gov sites), but if they thought it was misinformation, why not reply with reasons debunking it instead of just censoring it completely?? That's called having a civilized conversation. But no, they went the censorship route.

Anyway, they're just as guilty of groupthink and censorship as other places. This is why I prefer saidit.

purrvana · 2021-01-25T17:48:39+00:00

They don't even have to put on a dress or wig now. Just look up "Danielle Muscato" or "Alex Drummond trans" and you'll see what "transwomen" look like nowadays. These "women" can have beards, male pattern baldness, you name it.

purrvana · 2021-01-24T22:39:11+00:00

Joe Biden actually talked extensively about doing this. He said trans issues would be his number one priority. I posted it on gender critical and ovarit multiple times, and yet even the women against all that still voted for him 🤦‍♀️ And when he actually put the executive order through they said "but I didn't think he'd actually do it!!1!!"

purrvana · 2021-01-24T15:18:37+00:00

And we can't even gather to talk in person because of the lockdowns.

They've divided and isolated us on every level.

purrvana · 2021-01-22T17:31:45+00:00

I live in Canada (where it's been called "Tranada" due to the extreme woke laws). I was worried about the US because it's the last beacon of hope standing. If the US could fight off all the woke shit, then maybe there's hope for the rest of us. And even if we couldn't change our laws, at least we could move to the US for freedom from it all.

But now that the US is giving in, I feel like it's going to be much much harder for the rest of us to reverse course because now it's normalized on the biggest scale imaginable.

purrvana · 2021-01-22T17:28:36+00:00

And when I bring this up on ovarit I get called a Russian bot or a "conspiracy theorist". Like... what? We only believe women selectively now?

purrvana · 2021-01-21T15:09:41+00:00

Honestly, there were several things I liked (policy-wise) about Trump... the allowance of rape shelters to be women-only (if they wanted), decriminalizing homosexuality worldwide, pro-free speech, prison reform... He's also the only president in my lifetime not to start a new war.

Sometimes I feel like I live in an upside-down world when I think about the things he did compared to how hated he is. And now the dems are being praised as "a new hope" even though Parler is gone, a bunch of people I used to follow on Twitter are gone, I had to unfollow a bunch of pages on Facebook so that I don't get witch-hunted for "wrong-think", my nieces now have to change in the pool changerooms in front of men... And people are celebrating. It's a bizarre world.

And I could never say this out loud.

purrvana · 2021-01-21T15:02:08+00:00

It's insane to me that they complained about Joe's promise to do this for weeks and now are suddenly shocked that he did it. Like... wtf did they expect? He literally said it was the first thing he was going to do.

Why are they even on Ovarit if they voted Joe in knowing he'd erase women's rights? It's mind-blowing.

purrvana · 2021-01-20T14:37:53+00:00

And Cuomo apparently had enough time to write a whole book about how great he was at dealing with the pandemic while the pandemic was/is still happening, despite his horrible management of the whole thing.

Not gonna lie... TIMs have made me feel way more confident about my appearance to the point where I don't even wear makeup anymore.

purrvana · 2021-01-12T14:09:58+00:00

It's insane that if you're a normal person who believes in science you'd pick 3... but if you're deep in gender ideology you'd pick 15.

And if you said "pick the lesbians", there should be only 2. But gender ideology would, again, pick something like ~10.

“It’s not their burden to bear for you to figure out how to say they/them,” Jackson said.

“Nor is it their burden to have the conversation with you [about] why,” Philipps replied.

"And if you find that you’re like, ‘I don’t want to do it,’ you should go to therapy and talk about it,” Jackson added.

If you don't like using someone's pronouns, you should re-educate yourself, bigot!

Over the past year I've googled maybe 8 or 9 public figures/actors that I clocked right away and wanted to double-check if they were trans. All of them were except one.... and that one ended up having their character "transed" on the show because they looked so gender-ambiguous.

I keep bringing this up on reddit and nobody ever answers me...

What happens when there's a "girldick" in a jail. Do they give everyone birth control? We know rapes happen in jail all the time, so what makes this different? Would the jail provide abortion services? Or maternity/childcare services?

People either don't answer or say "that's never happened". Sure, but it will one day...

All my friends who like unprompted hugging the most are trans, which is setting alarm bells off in my head right now. it's interesting that there's so much about hugging/touching in this quiz.

Also, music turns me on . It's interesting that music wasn't even an option for "erotic material", especially since there was so much focus on listening (e.g. recognizing voices, hearing noises from far away, etc.)

purrvana · 2020-12-14T13:41:11+00:00

They also don't develop sexual maturity, so no orgasms. It seems creepy... like keeping kids sexually immature forever but constantly trying to make them live up to an expectation that they can't meet, so they'll always be looking for approval. Super weird.

purrvana · 2020-12-14T13:35:17+00:00

It's still extremely harmful. Look at Jazz Jennings. He went on puberty blockers and therefore only ever grew a micro-penis. When he eventually got surgery to get a "vagina", he didn't have enough penile tissue to turn it inside out to make a neo-vag. The poor kid had to go through multiple surgeries, take skin off his thighs, and be in constant pressure/pain. He also will never have an orgasm, never have children, doesn't know what sexual stimulation or arousal is, etc.

Even if he didn't get the surgery and changed his mind, he'd still have a micro-penis and diminished sexual maturity/arousal.

And to top that off, he'll never be a woman no matter how many surgeries he gets. There is no surgery that can turn a male into a fully functional female, or vice versa. He still looks like a boy, even after all that. Telling children they can change sex is a lie.

It's a horrible life.

I really want to write my own letter and post it on my social media:

"I am pleased to announce that I identify as a woman. Yes, I was born female and although growing up was difficult, I am now secure in my womanhood. This is really scary though because being a woman comes with risks. Over 1600 women are killed a year in the US. Women are more likely to be trafficked and assualted sexually. The statistics are staggering. Discrimination against women is rife, as we're often called 'cervix-havers' or 'uterus-owners' and denied sex-based spaces, but I hope to endure despite this discrimination. I'm proud to be a woman and I embrace fully who I am. To all the women who deal with harassment, self-loathing, abuse, and the threat of violence every day: I see you, I hear you, and I will do everything I can to change this world for the better."

purrvana · 2020-12-01T13:01:13+00:00

It's trans privilege.

Just like the person on reddit last night who called me a terf... I quickly browsed through his history and he claims he's a woman, a transwoman, nonbinary, a lesbian AND most of his posts are in r/mensrights. So he gets to claim the whole spectrum while yelling at me for not wanting to be called a cervix-haver. Trans privilege!

Wait...Arriola, like areola? As in nipple skin? I actually laughed out loud at that.

Yeah I clocked him right away too. It's so distracting because I can never tell if they're meant to play biological women or transwomen when I see non-passing TIMs in shows. I knew for this one it was supposed to be a real woman based on the time period. So dumb. The trans community complains when trans characters aren't played by trans actors, but I constantly see transwomen playing women's roles on Netflix.

That's the only episode he appears in. I enjoyed the rest of the series.

I watched one of Steven Crowder's "Change my Mind" videos and it was "there are 2 genders, change my mind".

Well, a non-binary person (obviously female) sat next to him, shared their pronouns, etc. Crowder slipped up once and she tore him up for it. But then a super virtuous TRA from the crowd jumped in and said something like "stop talking over her!" and of course the NB didn't even notice the protector misgendering her, even by accident, even though you could hear half the crowd mumbling and chuckling because of it. That's the whole gender BS in a nutshell.

edit: here's the virtuous TRA misgendering the person she's defending at least four times, lmao

purrvana · 2020-11-20T12:43:45+00:00

There are a few infertility troll groups on reddit that will complain about being invited to baby showers and wallow in the shittiness of the situation - and some will mention unfollowing their pregnant friends if it's too painful -- but as far as I know, none have ever demanded a change in language from pregnant friends or made people bend over backwards to pretend they're not infertile. Nor do they wear fake bellies or take care of realistic dolls to simulate the fantasy of it and make everyone call them "mom" (or change the definition of mom/mother to all people who desire to be moms). And they definitely don't make their pregnant friends censor themselves.

*And there are also post-infertility groups where women accept that they're infertile and learn how to move forward without making it a significant part of their identity.

purrvana · 2020-11-18T12:44:31+00:00

Her episode on the Joe Rogan podcast is also the one that made the Spotify workers throw a fit. The book didn't take off then but I'm sure the drama around it helped.

Yes, all the women I've seen in GC circles who lean toward Trump are from UK, Canada, etc... places where trans laws have already gone too far, and we're all trying to warn US women not to go down that road because once the US goes down the trans rabbit-hole it'll be harder for the rest of us to scale it back. But many American women are completely set on Biden being better for women than Trump.

Posie Parker is a good example. She's very anti-Biden and said she'd vote for Trump if she were American despite being pro-choice and liberal-leaning all her life.

edit: Or who knows, maybe if the USA goes full TRA it'll peak a lot more people and things will push back. Maybe next year if a bunch of trans laws are passed followed by trans-women entering the Olympics, we'll see some major peaking. I'm not super hopeful though considering how much the media drooled over the "stunning and brave transwomen" who were elected this past week.

Adding that Beau Biden was the first politician to enact transgender laws in Delaware. Joe was very proud of this during his campaign, mentioning it just two weeks ago.

In California, the gender identity indoctrination is filed under their "anti-bullying" course, so look out for that. I believe you can pull your kid from sex-ed but not from anti-bullying courses, so if you're in Cali (or somewhere with similar policies) you'll have to take it up with the teacher/principal.

Remember when he won the Oscar and during his speech he said he was the first openly gay guy to win a music Oscar? And of course the internet lit up to remind him that Elton John won one first over twenty years earlier. Well, now he can claim he was the first openly NB pan-whatever. SUch a special snowflake!

They also have segments on "drag kids" targeted to kids during the CBCkids segments. I can't wait until the CBC is no longer funded by taxes.

edit: I just read those articles. First world problems all over the place, especially the "Queer Mom" (what does that even mean? She listens to Janis Joplin and watches Dear White People? lmao).
