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.

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.

purrvana · 2021-03-30T23:38:16+00:00

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.

Agreed. He's got high emotional intelligence, and he's open-minded - but not so open-minded that his brains fall out. I love the contradiction of this big strong wrestler who has three daughters and is willing to learn stuff from a wide range of people. He's like a dangerous but kind teddy bear.

This is like saying "We don't know how she liked styling her hair and we may never know."

I love that his wikipedia page specifically goes out of its way not to use any pronouns at all. They just use his name, no pronouns, lol. That's pretty much what I do with my trans cousin.

purrvana · 2021-03-21T17:03:48+00:00

This exactly. I only found out about JKR and all the trans issues because the mods of r/popheads pinned a post calling her a T-RF. I had to google the word, then I googled JKR's tweets, and that lead me to peak within minutes. If they never complained, I'd probably still be blissfully ignorant. So, by all means, they should keep complaining!!! Let them show the world that they're basically kids having a tantrum.

purrvana · 2021-03-19T13:04:58+00:00

"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".

I look forward to the day where they decide to have a real-life meetup and realize they're all neckbeards.

His broad shoulder-width, narrow hips, and gait give him away in real life.

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 · 2021-03-10T14:55:25+00:00

Ehhh.... I would say that's generous. He still believes in transgender ideology.

Yeah, he still considers himself straight despite still having a penis and dating a guy. This is the whole reason there was a "superstraight" movement.

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.

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.

And then when you suggest all trans people should go for brain scans to be "diagnosed" before being able to change their IDs they'll go "ohhh, no, that's too much work, we already go through so much" because deep down they know it's BS

purrvana · 2021-02-10T14:28:04+00:00

I'm honestly surprised that Mario Lopez survived his "cancellation" when he said children shouldn't be transed to eventually be on this show. Like, yes, he groveled and apologized, but the fact that he was able to bounce back to be on a show with heavy mtf propaganda is... impressive. I wonder how he feels about it.

purrvana · 2021-02-09T13:58:47+00:00

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

purrvana · 2021-02-09T13:55:14+00:00

I usually tag anyone who admits they're a transbian so I can easily see how many there are in threads like this. That thread has at least 7 transbians posting throughout it.

I'm glad I haven't spent money on my period in 8 years (menstrual cup for the win) otherwise I wouldn't know which company to buy period products from that still believe women exist. Even Diva Cup mentions something about "not only for cis women" on their website. At least they still use the word woman, I guess.

Meanwhile I've taken all their songs off my spotify playlists and stopped wearing their concert tshirts outside. If they explicitly say they don't want money from 'TERFs', they won't get mine (which is easy since they haven't released anything good since Sainthood).

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.

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.

I guess they think tattoos make them more "manly"?? That's my guess, even though - in my experience - millennial and gen Z women have more tattoos nowadays than men do.

Also, there's a trend of "tattoo tours" on influencer youtube accounts (where they show off all their tattoos). And young people, in an effort to "catch up with the trend", will just get a bunch of random tattoos to go from having none to being covered. This results in a bunch of misplaced and mismatched tattoos with no real flow.

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.

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.

And Ellen (5'6") is two inches taller than the average woman (5'4"). It's even more alarming when you see him next to Kim Kardashian or Lady Gaga who are 5'2"/5'1".

And yet puberty blockers and hormones still don't necessarily change an adolescent's size. Nikki Tutorials was on puberty blockers and hormones from a young age and he's still a giant hulking man. But they'll never acknowledge this.

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.

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!!"

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

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.

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.

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.

The whole reason I learned about gender critical and the word "terf" was because it bled into r/popheads. God forbid you misgender Sam Smith. Truly no sub is safe.

purrvana · 2020-12-26T16:50:54+00:00

This is really clear when you click on user profiles... transwomen will post in mtf, traaaaaans, actuallesbians, etc. Whereas if you click on women's profiles they'll post in television, knitting, mommit, scifi, etc.

It's almost comical how obsessed transwomen are with posting in every.single.sub meant to affirm their trans/"womanness".

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.)
