If you need an abortion and can't get one, that's precisely because you are female, whether or not you feel like a woman or identify as one.

I've already been called transphobic for referring to this child as female. That's how the ideology works. It cannot even be criticised.

A classic sign of a cult is the attempt to control and manipulate language for its own purposes, so that reality can no longer be described.

Honestly kids, you don't need another word to describe how complex and vast and multifaceted your personality is. So is everybody's.

That might just explain why it's been getting bad. They started rolling this out in May. And Imgur was set up to automatically front page any highly upvoted reddit post. So now that images for reddit are hosted elsewhere, they're not on the front page, replaced by the super racist/sexist stuff usually just outside the FP.

So is this the only instance where a LACK of reddit makes a thing MORE sexist/racist? :psyduck:

I haven't been on SA for years but the person who gave me my previous av as a joke felt guilty for doing so and decided to get me a non-shitty av

At first I thought she was going for a woman vs female gotcha, but then she mixes them up herself so :shrug:

I think that's just a byproduct of "second/third place populism" sorta situation. Because Reddit's front page votes were so overwhelmingly popular/accessable in their content, just having that population around was pushing the shittier content just out of view. Lacking that, we're starting to see these groups that have always been around showing up more often.

I seriously cannot understand what she's saying. I get that it's some TERF crying no true feminist, but I seriously can't register what message or idea she's trying to convey with this collection of words. Are the first three phrases something specifically derogatory meant to cheapen feminism? How are they similar to All Lives Matter?

Imgur also got Really Bad from a user-end standpoint. If it detects a mobile browser it refuses to serve raw image files and redirects to ad-ridden, slow landing pages.

Right, it seems backwards. Like, I feel like her point is that transgendered people are trying to shove their way into feminism like non-blacks are trying to shove their way into BLM by saying "All lives matter". But, that would only make sense if the words she listed where words that included trans and cis females. But they are words that only include cis females, so I'm not sure what she's complaining about. :confused:

IIRC, TERFs are extremely concerned with any linguistic attempts to differentiate "female" biological occurrences from some inherent, mystical womanhood experience. This coming from a group of women who can't shut the gently caress up about vulvas.

Her point is that all of the things she mentions happen only happen to women, so trying to take women out of the discussion is similar to trying to remove the issue of blackness from black lives matters.

The terms she uses are intended to avoid 'transphobic' language, by not saying women, from what I remember, but I'm far from an expert on trans* issues

"Hmmm, there sure seem to be a lot of bad things for men in this society. Rather than going to the people that have already had lots of success dealing with gender based societal problems and learn from them, lets reinvent the wheel and maybe blame them for not doing all the work for us! GENIUS"

Well you see he had to dumb it down into words that we idiots would understand. So stuff like "books", "parties", "TV" etc is there for morons like us who only need a one word description of something instead of a 10 word sentence.
