P sure the current consensus is that some idiots blamed their headaches on EVIL COMMUNIST SONIC LASER SUPER WEAPON and the dumb fucks at the CIA were like: "yeah, that sounds about right" then turned down all help and data from the Cuban govt, did a loving terrible job of investigating, didn't retain any original records, and eventually threw up their hands and said "I guess the ECSLSW did it" and shrugged patted each other on the back.

So like the ~9000th stupidest thing the CIA has even done.


e: Symptoms of the ECSLSW include: head pain, eye pain, being a bit hungry, itchy skin, your kids not calling back, sunburn, constipation, STIs, and poor job performance. Oh, and it only targets Americans in poor health or with recent concussions.

Or maybe you could actually read actual news about it instead of spreading unsourced misinformation.

Lol. Yeah, why wouldn’t we just take US intelligence agencies, especially the CIA, at their word? Especially as it relates to an “unexplainable phenomenon” that just totally has to be a plot from our rivals.

It might not be the intention, but I imagine it's a tad safer. A whole bunch of TERF assholes just constantly search 'TERF' on Twitter to get mad and harass people for calling them TERFs. 'GC' isn't exactly an SEO-friendly term in comparison.

Yeah, that's kinda the problem. All the acronyms pro-trans people come up with to shove onto TERFs are just kinda juvenile and require too much explanation to catch on.

Personally, I'm okay with just calling them TERFs, because they clearly hate it.

I honestly don't understand what gender-critical even is cos I read the definition and it seems to be completely inline with what I've heard trans people tell me, that biological sex and gender are different.

They play down gender in order to reduce everything to ‘produces sperm’ and ‘can get pregnant’

Gender-critical is 'Gender isn't a thing, only sex is a thing' - so you can only be a woman or a man, and only by being born as one. Hence why it's an anti-trans ideology. On top of that, it often gets furthered into 'only women who can get pregnant/men who can impregnate, women must be femme to count, etc.' sex as traditional behaviour that a 1950s TV show would blush at: that's why it's fits in neatly with the extreme right tradwife stuff and you often see tradwife TERFs. They don't believe in gender and sex as mutable concepts.

IIRC the argument goes something like "if gender is socially constructed and not biological then you can't be 'transgender' because gender's not real".

Eh, he is still being dumb. It’s a bad statistic much like when republicans said “corona’s death rate is only 0.001%” because they were comparing the number of deaths vs the total population and not the total infected. Like, yes, the vaccine prevents infections and mitigates the effect of the disease for those who get it anyway, but he’s comparing the number of breakthrough infections vs the total vaccinated population
