Riley Dennis

Riley is now dating a woman.

exactly vestalvirgin I can't see how anyone can find 'fake' genetalia arousing (likewise fake boobs unless due to reconstruction etc). Surely it's better to accept the person as they are, in their natural form.

My first boyfriend was a bit of a sexy rebel which is probably how I got converted to penises being ok, being petrified before. He didn't give a shit what people thought about him/gender norms and that sort of confidence gives other people confidence to be their (natural) selves.

I know from my own experience that a lot of rapists think they're not rapists if they're not waiting for random women to assault down dark alleyways.

Thanks M0stly that is very interesting

YY. Lisak's work is really important.

Re. the one in four stat - it's always interesting when you can arrive at a number with two different methodologies. The original claim was arrived at by asking women about their experiences. But American criminal psychologist David Lisak has interviewed men about their sexual behaviour, and he finds that when he describes rape without actually using the word rape (questions like "Have you ever had sex with a woman when you knew she didn't want to but you used your body weight to hold her down?" and so on) approximately 6% of men will admit to behaviours which meet the legal definition of rape (this is men on American university campuses - how representative they are of men as a whole I don't know). Furthermore they turn out to admit to, on average, about 6 rapes each. So allowing for some women having the horrible experience of being raped more than once, ball-park you're back at the 1 in 4 figure, arrived at this time not by asking women what they've experienced at the hands of men, but by asking men what they've done to women.

That made me laugh, Lass, whilst being full of fair points.

Then Riley is a fucking MRA. No question.

There's an article in mainstream (huff post maybe) media that disputes the 1 in 4 figure, says it was based on one faulty & biased study & alll other women groups jumped on the figure. But Riley et al use it as 'evidence' that women aren't targeted as we claim. I've not see it countered yet though. Duno if that's cause it's just bs or just knocks one study iron what

My brother got it straight away. Especially when I made him think about it from the perspective of his daughter. It's worth tentatively testing the water with people. Raising awareness is key.

LassWiTheDelicateAir At 7:30 The Egocast explains to Riley what we've been saying. He gets it. Men are getting it. And there are other videos by men all saying the same thing.
This has to be very good news.

The wide variety of challenges to Riley is fascinating. This response is quite long and you might find his delivery irritating but he made several points which are similar to Peach Yogurt's such as Riley's hierarchy of victim hood and Riley saying traumatised women can work through their traumas.

He does at one point make clear he doesn't believe the 1 in 4 women will be raped but he can at least see that you can't logically argue men's changing rooms are dangerous so the answer is to allow penises in the women's.

His final comment is interesting.

He's a straight man and a fucking loon.

I think that kind of moving over and accommodation is what is expected of women and men are shocked when women like Julie Bindel and Germaine Green don't give it.

I remember about 20 years ago going to a 'coming out' group for lesbians. One of the members was a very obvious mtt. I would say pretending and politeness was my response to their presence. I would never have seriously considered them to be a lesbian just as I wouldn't have dreamed of commenting that they werent female.

"I think this is why we are where we are. People didn't want to offend transwomen by saying they are not women. As often happens, once an untruth is said often enough, people start to beleive it. Now all the logical conclusions from saying transwomen are women are getting clearer and more damaging. Not saying things which need to be said because they might upset people is not a good tactic"

Yes. That's exactly it.

The reason we pretended we believed transwomen were women, was because we didn't want to be unkind.

Now it's because we'll be called bigots if we don't carry on pretending.

Ho hum.

Hey! He 'inspired' my name. One of the most annoying people on the Internet.

Ugh, what a horrible bepenised person.

So traumatized rape victims get a pass when it comes to sex, but what about sharing changing rooms, showers, prison cells and so on with a bepenised individual? It doesn't look like they get a pass for that. I wonder where this bepenised thinks they should do that healing that they have to do so they can suck trans dick in the future.

Clearly not in mental health clinics or the prisons that many drug-addicted victims of childhood abuse end up in - after all, those have to be open to the bepenised according to the transagenda.

Lying to young people and telling them that loads of people of their chosen partner group will find them attractive as their assumed gender is cruel.

Indeed.
Especially when that lie is used to make them undergo surgery.
Some young transboys are in happy relationships with lesbian girls who are under no illusion as to their partner's actual sex.
But once they have surgery there's no way back, and the number of women attracted to them will drastically drop.

Apparently some hetero men are quite into fucking transwomen, but as a woman who is attracted to feminine men, I must say that they lose all attraction by simply claiming to be women.

A long-haired man in a skirt who is open about his nonconformity is a sexy rebel.

A long-haired man in a skirt who claims to be a woman is delusional and conforming and uninteresting.

I don't find penises particularly pretty, but they are sure better than a neovagina.

Riley Dennis is that unfortunate combination of being ignorant and verbose.

Plus, his Adam's apple is distracting.

Riley's Adam's apple is an issue. And he just keeps on talkingandtalkingandtalkingandthat'scissexistandwomenhavepenisesandthat'stransphobic. AAAAAAARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm heterosexual and even I don't like penises. They are gross, and a bit scary. If a hetero woman doesn't like them that much, why the hell would a lesbian want to go anywhere near one? What part of that can he not get into his thick skull? I love that man's song. I wonder if it's possible to stream it…and get it into the top 40 instead of the Ed Sheehan Official Chart as it is (kids make me listen to that shit).

Sorry that was to wood, nowt to do with Riley's protuberance

Someone said on another thread that is probably why the TAs and their witless allies repeat "transwomen are women" as a mantra.

No you aren't

Am I the only one who can't get past Riley's Adam's apple? Never mind your genitals sunshine, the apple outs you every time.

I think what Riley says in the video "Are genital preferences transphobic?" is quite logical and sensible if you believe that a transwoman is a woman.

I think everyone needs to watch it. Hopefully more people will then start questioning how many untruths we should accept as truth.

I notice that one thing Riley says is that, if what you are going to say will hurt someone's feelings and upset them, its best not to say it.

I think this is why we are where we are. People didn't want to offend transwomen by saying they are not women. As often happens, once an untruth is said often enough, people start to beleive it. Now all the logical conclusions from saying transwomen are women are getting clearer and more damaging. Not saying things which need to be said because they might upset people is not a good tactic
