loquacius posted:I appreciate this post a lot and think it's a little sad that any female transphobe is now called a TERF because the classical definition of "second-waver who is so mad at the concept of penises and at Kids These Days that they have earnestly convinced themselves that all trans women are braving bigotry and violence and taking hormones daily for years just so that they can sneak into women's bathrooms and force lesbians to touch dicks" is so loving bonkers that it needs to be preserved Don't forget getting UTIs from being too afraid to use public restrooms. So that they can enter women's restrooms. It's also a very common notion that trans women take hormones and get surgery and change their name so that they can wear dresses and put on makeup and play with barbies. And, if only we just let men do those things, they wouldn't need to transition. People have some very weird ideas.

Southpaugh posted:*extremely natalie wynn voice* why is no one talking about the female peniiiiiis Iirc she got cancelled for being casually lovely about NBs I think, then doubled down doing a video about it then quit then came back with at least one more video about getting cancelled. Iirc she did a video implying all her critics were just jealous From what I remember she's pretty up front though that she just wants to make videos where she can dress up and make sets and would like to put the politics angle behind her. I'm probably butchering it but I remember her line being something like "leftism was something I cared about when I was a sad alcoholic man, now I just want to look beautiful"

if you haven’t watched a contrapoints video in a while, i really recommend her video ‘jk rowling’ - she uses rowling as a case study for analyzing gender critical and reactionary rhetoric/motivations. it’s a useful distillation of a lot of stuff

I haven't bothered to watch any of her new videos (because they seem longwinded and self indulgent) but I did go scope the situation out and its very much just streaming and maintaining parasocial relationships. If someone wants to game and perform for a chatroom, more power to them its not like its doing anyone any harm (one hopes). Holy poo poo the patreons still making a bare minimum of 20k a month lmao. Dropping the politics angle is kinda sad, and its the thing that has given her gently caress you money and the ability to maintain a high standard of living so its seems a bit like a FYGM situation. I do enjoy catching up on the 2016 breadtube people, turns out they were all mostly full of poo poo.

Losing interest in leftism generally because you're personally comfortable now is pretty lovely, but I could forgive losing interest in being a "leftist content creator". That seems like a nightmare.

Second-wave feminism somehow still being a wedge issue is frustrating because older white ladies who have conservative viewpoints on every issue except abortion and the pay gap are one of the strongest demographics driving the "left" toward the right If the GOP were smart they'd run Fiorina or something and tell her to talk about public bathrooms all the time. They'd easily hoover these second-wavers up and could just tell evangelicals to shut up and Vote Red No Matter Who

Some Guy TT posted:https://mobile.twitter.com/jk_rowling/status/1546843671626235908 I guess that Rowling is proof that you can’t be cancelled if you just keep posting through it. Also lol that she and Matt Walsh have turned on each-other after one day. I don’t get why she wants to make being a TERF a core part of her identity. Like I definitely have very racist, very conservative family members who nevertheless have other interests.

Linehan is a successful-in-the-90s irish comedy writer. He lives in britain. He and the wife made a pro-choice ad in the run up to the Repeal the 8th (amendment of Bunracht na hEireann, the irish constitution) campaign, which was successful and made abortion legal in Ireland. They got a lot of pats on the back from the pro-choice crowd. So he was a loud feminist voice for a time and well regarded. Between then and now he became extremely online and extremely concerned about trans people, this preceded and presumably instigated the divorce. He's had some kind of mid life crisis or just went off the beam over all this for some reason.

Most Rowling fans I know are very critical of her but don't want to just throw their prized HP novels in the bin. Also that like, sequel stage play that they did sounds loving nuts.

Just one more hosed up result of Britain's inbred class system. Also the same old story of people acting like this gay stuff is all brand new, not like when I was young! When it turns out trans people were being profiled in the media as far back as the 30s, as curios admittedly, but in what appears to be a much more accepting manner based on that link.

Yeah, the divorce came after he went insanely TERF and seems to have been because it's literally all he would talk about even to his wife and kids.

Everyone reading this already knows, probably, but he's not just divorced from his wife, the trans obsession basically annihilated all his relationships with family and friends. P. Sure he's actively avoided by other terves at this point.

Imagine your wife telling you to calm down with the poo poo about trans people a little bit because you're getting a little fixated and it's offputting, and responding that it's too bad that she just doesn't have the same commitment to women's rights you do or something like that
