Karen Davis. Just wonderful. @yea_karen53 on Twitter.

Her response to coming across the phrase 'Black Birthing Bodies' is blistering.

Just watched the second video. Thank you lionheart! Wow she really speaks her mind freely and declares the emperor naked! It is so refreshing and grounding in these times of mass delusion imposed by varying degrees of censorship. Thank you Karen!

Why do they always have blue hair?

[quote DancelikeEmmaGoldman]There’s another young radfem on YouTube who is giving me all the feels. This riposte to a wokescold is so good.

[/quote] I looked at the thumbnail on that and thought "That doesn't look like the sort of person who'd publicly reject trans ideology."

Then, I thought I shouldn't make an assumption like that and started watching. It's not a pleasant vindication at all. It's very sad that someone, especially someone so young, finds the word lesbian disgusting.

lionheart · 20/11/2020 22:04

She's not messing around.

xxyzz · 20/11/2020 21:43

Wow, I did think no-one deserved the accolade in the thread title, but actually, OP, you're right!

She is fabulous! I feel comforted and invigorated all in one!

Ah. Well, yes, no disagreement there. And at least I spelled it out clearly for them as don't get it...

HecatesCats · 11/11/2020 21:47

That young women think and feel like that.

HecatesCats · 11/11/2020 21:46

Yes, I got your point Floral. I guess I just found it all very depressing.

FloralBunting · 11/11/2020 21:32

The point is that blue hair fringe woman says she doesn't want to call herself a lesbian, because she associates it with women who are solely attracted to women and not penis people. She thinks that's bad, presumably because she is happy to consider women and penis people who consider themselves women. So she doesn't want to call herself a lesbian.

To which I say, great choice. Choice made because she thinks being a lesbian is bad, but I am quite happy for her not to call herself a lesbian...

nothing

HecatesCats · 11/11/2020 16:05

@vaginafetishist

Yeah, not really crying about her rejecting the word lesbian.
What's wrong with the word Lesbian?

@Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g and @DancelikeEmmaGoldman thank you for these wonderful links. I needed to hear them!

FloralBunting · 11/11/2020 14:07

Well, the woman in the original video does reject the word lesbian because it's associated with women who are solely sexually attracted to other women, so on balance I think that's a positive. The fact that she frames it as a bad thing to be is obviously hideously bigoted, but that's wokery for you.

HecatesCats · 11/11/2020 11:44

Ah thank you for sharing DancelikeEmmaGoldman, she's marvellous. This gives me hope! I feel so sad for the other girl who finds the word lesbian disgusting and therefore can't apply it to herself Sad

[/quote] This is absolutely brilliant 😂 Thank you so much for posting it.

Hahaha, on her Twitter, she has redefined TERF as:

Tired of Explaining Reality to Fuckwits.

Absolutely brilliant! I love the way she is unintentionally funny!

She makes an excellent point that companies, like Tampax, are dehumanising women with their choice of words BUT expect us to pay for the privilege!!

FloralBunting · 11/11/2020 09:40

DancelikeEmmaGoldman, oh crikey. She's fantastic. Reminding me very strongly of my three daughters who have no patience with it all. I shall send them the link.

"Fuck it all into the ground until it turns into powder" is amazing. She's very funny and cuts right through thr crap. Subscribed to her channel and looking forward to hearing more from her.

lionheart · 10/11/2020 20:21

Oh yes, I saw that today. Glorious.

Goosefoot · 10/11/2020 19:02

That was a weird experience to me - she sounds exactly like my cousin. the same accent, language, inflection, hand gestures. It's like they turned my cousin into a black woman.

That being said, I think this will appeal to people who already agree with her and are angry about it more than people sitting on the fence.

I wondered a bit about the "black bodies" business, and what she felt about it more generally. It seems to have become sort of an accepted rhetorical flourish within antiracism groups, and I think that preexisted the addition of "birthing". The idea that it's dehumanising seem like it should apply to both uses.

I also thought that she was pretty easy on Biden and Kamala given that their platform explicitly endorses gender ideology.
