Yes, that is really her.

A few years ago she started palling up with Cathy Brennan and eventually got Brennan's endorsement for president (which was really worth less than the contents of my jacket pocket). In Brennan's home state of Marlyand, Santa Claus got ten times as many votes as Roseanne did.

Looks like those feminists we discussed at the end of the last thread really do hate contraception.

Okay I'll bite:

What the hell is their logic? (I use the term loosely).

A few days ago she and a few users like her were talking about how trans women shouldn't be allowed to import "dangerous" medication (that's actually essential) like oestrogen on the grey market, in the light of news of one grey-market pharmacy being effectively shut down. Including this person:



After it was pointed out to them that there's not much difference between HRT medication and contraception (as in they're both oestrogens), I would've thought they'd lay off, but nope.

Yeah, it's really hard to fake an anxiety attack. Even if you suffer from anxiety yourself.

That said, fibro/CFS/PVFS/post-Lyme are very controversial. It probably does exist, to an extent, but if you imply that some people who claim to have it don't, you'll get death threats. Seriously.

So apparently I'm a "bullying gobshite" for trying to ascertain whether a group of self-styled feminists think it's okay to touch the genitals of children.



For the record, I asked her twenty-four times before I got tired of imitating Jeremy Paxman.

Why'd you ask that 18 times? What context made you think that was a good idea?

And without context, the diaper changing argument is pretty valid to me, and since you chose not to supply context... I hope you don't work in PR.

Edit: missed the edit, I'm not watching a 9 minutes video to figure out why you felt the need to ask someone about children's genital twenty four times.

Because she refused to answer it the first seventeen times. She was trying to claim that a certain person hadn't engaged in sexual assault of a child; I asked whether it was acceptable to do the course of action that third party did.

With regards to the video: one of the most famous interviews Jeremy Paxman did was with former Home Secretary Michael Howard, in 1997, where he repeatedly asked if he threatened to overrule the director of British prisons on a certain matter. Paxman eventually got his answer, seven years later, for what it's worth.

If you're wanting to know who the third party is, it's Philly-based journalist Victoria Brownworth. She wrote a column about touching and gawking at a trans kid's genital area while he was receiving a testosterone injection, and any attempts to point out that it's skeevy as gently caress if not actually sexual assault have been rebuffed with denial it even happened. Because feminism.

Implicitly threatening to beat/possibly kill lib dem voters is perhaps the least offensive opinion she's had about anything.

Given her massive hate for certain Lib Dems, it's probably more out of a hatred for them than the party.
