Abuse of GC women on twitter (be warned graphic, disturbing)

It's sickening Bing. Playing the role of a fragile little flower one minute and then getting aroused by issuing savage threats the next...just grotesque!

Yes I agree, CountryGirl.

Funny how saying 'he' is literal violence but all of these disgusting threats are just 'letting off steam' because they're so oppressed.

It is apparent these savages are getting a lot of excitement from issuing these threats. They remind me of sick men who need to watch more and more vicious porn to reach the same levels of sexual excitement.

Saw this the other day.
Thought I was immune to it but this made me catch my breath.

If I recall correctly, the (really) overt threats really started about 9-10 years ago. Before that, there was some debate between the two sides. I guess they figured we were making too much sense for their liking, so shut us up instead.

The thing is, they have been doing that for so long now, they use the same tactics on the general public (which includes men). But people are not swayed by the threats, and that is probably why over 80% don't believe what the TRAs are selling.

Yes, but this isn't just about a small number of dangerous extremists. It is integral to the movement. [...] This isn't a small bunch of extremists. This is part and parcel of the movement.

That totally sums it up, Raisins.

Which is why the body of trans never denounce them, this is the sum total of their politics. Threats of violence.

This makes for distressing reading but we have to shine a light on it. Can I personally thank the posters who've screenshot this abuse - I started doing so some years back on twitter but it was exhausting and draining. Thanks for keeping the evidence of their hatefulness.

"Trans Activists’ Threats To Execute Women Sure Don’t Look Like Social Justice"

many examples in the article

I'm going to post several images showing some of the homophobic hate directed to the women who protested at Pride, after the event.

Isn't that image from the film "Tangerine" where MTFs beat up a woman?

I've got some more, but it's late, so I'll post them tomorrow.

*Not that Julia Long is particularly old, I hasten to add!!

But it's noticeable that there is a generational split at work here. And I know those of us in our late 30s and upwards do look old to the TRAs in their teens and 20s.

The "punch a terf" rhetoric is often (but by no means always) directed at women by younger, male-bodied people at least a decade or two younger than us. And it's not only socially acceptable, but celebrated in trans activist circles.

Here's the screen shot:

This one calls lesbian activist Julia Long a "Nazi".

The point of this is to frame second wave / older feminists as fascists and therefore give "permission" to activists who want to attack older women physically to do it without guilt and with the support of their communities.

And - instead of laughing at the ridiculousness of calling a bunch of mostly left-wing feminists, fascists, transactivists are going along with this idea and popularising it.

Before trans activist Tara Wolf (20s) attacked Maria MacLachlan (age 60) they asked where the feminist meeting was on social media as they wanted to "fuck up some fash". Afterwards hundreds (if not thousands) on twitter congratulated and supported Tara Wolf for bashing someone old enough to be their grandmother.

This stuff isn't just words.

More insults directed at the same people.

As with the ones above, this was directed at the lesbians who staged the "Get the L Out" protest at Pride.

Erasing lesbian and gay history.

TRAs are keen on transing people posthumously. They're very keen on telling everyone that Marsha Johnson who was instrumental in the original Pride riots was trans. He was a drag queen, not trans.

They also forget to mention Storme DeLarverie, an early lesbian activist who reputedly threw the first punch.

It's relentless

The very definition of othering.

I'm going to post more screenshots of the homophobic abuse and violent threats directed at the women who protested at Pride:

@Jammersminde yes it was you, hi!

Do you know about the APPG collecting evidence of hate crime?

Copying ChattyLion's post:

PSA:
An all party parliamentary group- the APPG on hate crime- is seeking evidence on abusive behaviours like this. They are still open for comments until 15 August. (The deadline has been extended)

@womensvoicesmatter it was me I think. I am absolutely drained by it. I have never seen so much violence directed towards women, sanctioned it seems by very senior people who refuse to believe it’s happening or if they do think it’s somehow justified.

I don’t post over here much as it doesn’t feel safe, again I see the screenshots travelling from here to Twitter accompanied by more violence, it’s quite unbelievable really

I mean, he's targeting her.

thebewilderness that's really insidious. I hadn't put 2 and 2 together but of course.

So, the person in the screenshot has chosen a feminist's name as their transwoman name.

And you say they're also targeting them? I didn't know that.

Sorry, cross posts!
