I think this is the worst thing I've seen on IWD 2020

This transwoman calls us bitches and tells us that they now "run this shit". Then in the next tweet, people who don't like this are told they can "suck my dick from the back". And in the comments are people saying things like "Ignore all the transphobic comments!" and "I love your hair!"

Another contender. The video shows a man punching at the camera followed by a woman trying to pull him away.

Yes that's basically an extension of the POV you're a TERF in my mentions" meme beloved of violent misogynistic males on Twitter.

It's not just you.

BINtersectionalFeminism · 09/03/2020 17:12

Totally with you on the eyes mindtheclegs. I find it quite chilling.

Just catching up with threads. @polynerd - that screenshot really summed up things as they truly are. What always gets me with photos like this are though are how dead and cold these men's eyes are. A woman might look defiant or happy or sad or angry or content but, no matter the bone structure or good haircut we can always tell who is a man intent on stamping over women's rights. Is this just me?

Fuck them. They are going for land grab and they know they are losing
Are they losing though?
Bergdof was lauded over on Radio 5 yesterday. Of 30m women in the UK it was a transwoman that spoke.
95% of institutions and organisations seem to be captured, Yes, it seems as though the GRC has been kicked to the long grass for now but we have de facto self-id.
I feel very despondent about it all tbh.

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 09/03/2020 13:43

Mother's Day and Father's Day aren't straightforward any more either.

BlindYeoSees · 09/03/2020 12:10

Jesus, how many transgender days?????? They want the entire fucking calendar as well as the dictionary. It's narcissism on crack.

youkiddingme · 09/03/2020 10:18

I didn't have the time or inclination to save all the threads, but a fair few things popped up on facebook, on all kinds of pages, regarding IWD, and every thread attracted men saying not just what about the menz? , but basically that any woman who isn't actively advocating for men is a feminist, and every feminist is a vengeful vindictive man-hater.
Open season indeed.

anonymousLangFan - thank you for that list. Just in case anyone misses one, there will be another one along before not too long!

There are a few more here:

List of LGBT awareness periods - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LGBT_awareness_periods

Damn! Just missed "Aromantic Spectrum Awareness Week"

  • The first full week after 14 February
  • started 2014
  • Week to promote information and awareness about aromantic spectrum identities and the issues they face.

Never mind, here is something to look forward to! It will soon be "Day of Silence"

  • April
  • started 1996
  • Day varies from year to year; GLSEN's Day of Silence is an organizing tool to end the silencing effect of anti-LGBT bias. "Students take a day-long vow of silence to symbolically represent the silencing of LGBTQ students." Confused

That last one does seem to be entirely honoured in the breach rather than the observance - can't imagine why!

Another contender. The video shows a man punching at the camera followed by a woman trying to pull him away. What is wrong with people? 2200 likes too.

Oldstyle · 09/03/2020 00:39

Maybe this person's head identifies as a penis
Thanks for that. My first laugh in a long 24 hours of International trans women and some of those other womxn people provided they mostly focus on meeee Day. What a complete sell-out / shit-show.

International Transgender Day of Visibility (March 31)

Surely this is every day?

Kantastic · 09/03/2020 00:02

don't understand how you can suck a dick from the back, or how that makes it worse than doing it from the front?

I think it might be a failed variant on the Irish saying "lick the back of them" which makes much more anatomical sense. Though I suppose when you think of it, anatomical sense isn't a hallmark of TRAs. Maybe this person's head identifies as a penis.

Hear hear, Dances 👏🏼

Dances · 08/03/2020 23:24

Fuck them. They are going for land grab and they know they are losing.

Hold the line and puuuuuuuuul

Siameasy · 08/03/2020 23:10

The TRAs don’t surprise me. The handmaidens do. The apparently educated, leftie, women
I got called a TERF by another woman on a post about IWD. In a PARENTING GROUP. My crime-to wish for an end to gender.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 08/03/2020 23:02

Also, I think it was Avery who was very offended that said penis was compared to a man's penis. Different mouthfeel, or something. And no I don't think that was a clever parody.

TheProdigalKittensReturn · 08/03/2020 23:00

FYI, Avery Edison is a penis having person who once wrote an article complaining about how unfair it was that a woman they were seeing wouldn't allow them to insert said penis into her fanjo. Avery may also identify as a comedian.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 08/03/2020 22:55

They wouldn't drop it. How else could they be most oppressed and special?

TheProdigalKittensReturn · 08/03/2020 22:52

I mean, let's be honest, in all likelihood the only thing that person runs is "for a bus". Overcompensation is awfully funny to observe.

Thinkofanumber · 08/03/2020 22:49

Here’s another beauty from today’s twitter.

I just can’t even...

T0tallyFuckedUpFamily · 08/03/2020 22:49

I think Avery Edison was taking the piss, though if you didn’t know her humour, I can understand your reaction. It’s a piss take on how male bodied people insist on being in the middle of all women’s celebrations.

tobee · 08/03/2020 22:24

Well I certainly know that a lot of men share that tweets message.

OvaHere · 08/03/2020 22:21

It's definitely in the running for worst.

Can I also nominate

Peter Tatchell - called us non- transwomen

Avery Edison - made reference to women and cis women

Ellie Mae O' Hagen - wished a happy IWD to transwomen and only transwomen (extra level dick pandering there)

Morgane Ogre - some guff about women needing determination and control over their bodies and their lives (No NOT you women in a rape crisis refuge obviously)

Sheheshee · 08/03/2020 22:19

How about this for a very close second. Charlie Craggs (transwoman) saying that International Women’s Day isn’t for ‘women like her’ but for ‘old dried up middle class white hags with dry skin and hair’. Suzanne Moore gets laid into for her recent article but mostly for not coming up to Charlie’s exacting standards of make-up and hair - she’s a manicurist you see. She’s also written a book and campaigns against transphobia, Stonewall Champion etc... Some of the comments on the Twitter and Instagram posts that feature this text are vile and misogynistic. See a pattern emerging? I can’t think why we shouldn’t be welcoming both these transwomen to IWD - they bring so much to the party!
