(Excerpts)

TERF’s — Trans Exclusive Regressive Fascists — are tools of the far right/alt-right establishment of America and the UK. They are bigots who promote transphobia as a political stance. They exist as agent provocateurs tasked with preventing the LGBTQ community from gelling into a cohesive political force that can oppose fascism. They claim to be “lesbians” and “feminists” while functioning as proxies for the white male oligarchs that seek to bury any and all queerness and to trap women in servitude.
...
You make a group that does everything the TERF group does, but without the unnecessary hate. Yet the TERF group finds a way to persist. Now what?
A gradual strategy that can succeed is infiltration and replacement. Entryism is a century old non-violent tactic that works in any group that uses voting to determine leadership. Gather a group of like-minded allies, join the group, and then vote one another into key positions. Attract more via outreach and over time the group will be geared toward promoting social justice and human rights.
...
So what’s next after that? Direct action.
Direct action is where you go from targeting an institutional or organization to singling out the key leaders and propellants of hate. History shows that when singled out, many bigots will renege on their hateful ideas and begin to reform. And if they don’t, then their communities can expel them.
TERF’s, like all Nazis, have no right to a peaceful existence or steady employment. They have declared their support of fascism and have therefore declared their intent to directly harm the trans community wherever they’re found. They threaten the safety and dignity of others and therefore deserve none themselves until they choose to be human once more.
The usual caveats to the direct action approach apply. Be careful of misidentifying people. Attacking bystanders just makes TERF’s look sympathetic. Don’t do anything you can’t handle the consequences of.
...
Control access to safe spaces
...
Doxxing is another effective tool
...
Property damage is another escalation up the chain of direct action
...
What about bodily harm against bigots? Is that a valid tactic? Yes, but with important considerations.
...
It’s important to avoid killing

How nice.

So we're seen as evil and bigoted for not wanting males in our spaces. We're also vile awful people for rejecting Gender Identity ideology. That means we can be doxxed, threatened, be abused physically and verbally- and that's perfectly alright.

It's like they've convinced themselves we are not human.

I hope those people who were shouting that MN is transphobic see this because I want to know if they think this is perfectly acceptable?

@skql

sn’t one a trans woman who is ex Military and runs some pharma/chemical company?

i'm not american, so maybe wrong, chicago ,illinois governor or someone

Ah - I think you are right. Must be a different one who has some sort of chemical company.
OldCrone · 27/05/2020 17:14

You've confused Jennifer Pritzker with someone else whose name I can't remember.

Martine Rothblatt? "The top earning CEO in the biopharmaceutical industry in 2018" according to wikipedia.

Thanks, Poundshop!

This person is not a woman. He previously claimed on his "Laura" twitter to be a "cis woman" but he is of course of the penis persuasion.

Imagine my surprise!

BlueBooby · 27/05/2020 17:11

TERF’s have a history of being brazen in their confrontations and hide very little about their identities, so gathering most of this info is not hard.

TERF’s are very similar to incels: they are keyboard warriors. They hide behind online personas to spew evil and feel safe in their own bubble.

That makes sense.

PoundShopSherlock · 27/05/2020 17:10

(He's not the Ogre.)

PoundShopSherlock · 27/05/2020 17:09

This person is not a woman. He previously claimed on his "Laura" twitter to be a "cis woman" but he is of course of the penis persuasion. .

He has made his real identity easy to find. I sent it to Vancouver Rape Relief after his last unhinged screed which was an even more direct incitement to violence, specifically against VRR. It seems like even Medium has limits and has taken that down.

He's based in Seattle according to his other Twitter. His real name is available online. If anyone thinks there is any value in reporting him to the Seattle Police, DM me.

I don't think they'd fit my definition Datun

Ereshkigalangcleg · 27/05/2020 17:08

They appear to be, Datun, from their profiles on social media. But it would be quite easy to fake it. Who knows? They scream TRA to me, but I recognise that some of their more unhinged female allies are like this.

As pp said after the VRR article there was talk of them being an Oger sock.

Datun · 27/05/2020 17:03

Is this person a woman?

bd67thSaysReinstateLangCleg · 27/05/2020 17:02

You've confused Jennifer Pritzker with someone else whose name I can't remember. Pritzker is ex-military but not in pharma.

TinselAngel · 27/05/2020 17:01

I wish I was an Agent Provocateur, it sounds quite glamorous.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 27/05/2020 16:53

Also "girldick goes into a lesbian like ice cream into a milkshake" genuinely knocked me a bit sick.

Me too. I'd be very surprised if a male hadn't written that. Boak.

bd67thSaysReinstateLangCleg · 27/05/2020 16:52

Combine the exhortation not to believe gender-critical feminists (thanks for the link, Erish) with the assertion that transwomen can't commit rape of women because of "cis privilege", and you have a movement that has deemed us unrapeable, just like how some women are deemed unrapeable under patriarchy.

These people are abusive, totalitarian, dangerous misogynists. And they wonder why we don't want them in our spaces.

Lordfrontpaw · 27/05/2020 16:51

Ugh.

SunsetBeetch · 27/05/2020 16:51

From the twitter link I posted above: Laura thinks showing up with guns to "places where terfs reside" is a good tactic.

Also "girldick goes into a lesbian like ice cream into a milkshake" genuinely knocked me a bit sick.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 27/05/2020 16:50

So Medium should take the new post down, as they had to take down the VRR one. Laura repeats the same line about the "heroic woman who came close to delivering a blow for justice on Julie Bindel"

skql · 27/05/2020 16:50

i'm really sick of it.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 27/05/2020 16:47

After lauding "heroic transactivist" Morgane Oger we come to the proposed tactics to use against Vancouver Rape Relief:

"Resisting TERF’s and Transforming Their Organizations"

Ereshkigalangcleg · 27/05/2020 16:43

Sorry, I got the wrong spittle flecked rant from Laura! Medium actually took the one I was thinking of down. Must be unprecedented. Here it is, in all its misogynistic glory. It's all about Vancouver Rape Relief.

Bullying and abusing people for exercising their human rights to free speech, free thought, and free association is the definition of fascism

Absolutely agree. This is about forcible control, silencing debate, shutting women up and justifying the use of violence to do so. Anti fascists? These people shout #no debate because they can't debate. They don't believe in freedom of speech. They believe in complete control of the narrative, including compelled speech.

BovaryX · 27/05/2020 16:37

What about bodily harm against bigots? Is that a valid tactic? Yes, but with important considerations....It’s important to avoid killing

Wow. Isn't this incitement? To commit violent assault? This really strips the mask, as PP have said. What's beneath it is rage and misogyny.
