I can't imagine ever doing an AMA about myself unprompted. Wouldn't even occur to me that anyone would be interested?!

Winesalot · 17/12/2020 13:56

I think at this stage it is being heavily watched and frankly, I think this poster is young (they just posted on another thread). It may be interesting to ask about ROGD and get their perspective. I think it might not last long though.

Collidascope · 17/12/2020 13:53

It's been moved. Good.

nauticant · 17/12/2020 13:51

I was drawn into the latest AMA thread for one post but I'll leave it at that. Especially since with only a few posts so far there's already lol-ing.

If 'female gender identity' is a sufficient condition of female, and female biology is not a necessary condition, how do I establish communication with this plant to work out whether I can smoke it in four months or not?

I was about to catch up on that thread. Will try to remember not to get sucked in.

Especially cos I want to comment on philosophical points - so refreshing to see an acknowledgement that it is a belief but is it true and justified? If 'female gender identity' is a sufficient condition of female, and female biology is not a necessary condition, how do I establish communication with this plant to work out whether I can smoke it in four months or not?

No. I shall resist.

Maybe this shouldn't turn into a taat tho.

“Forced” is a very interesting word, isn’t it?

Hidden in a positive blizzard of other words. So many, many words.

HecatesCatsInXmasHats · 16/12/2020 19:13

This is definitely someone who gets off on boundary violations

Well observed Cara. It's the resoluteness that makes it particularly creepy for me.

Winesalot · 16/12/2020 19:13

Yes Cara. The delight in springing the surprise onto a sex partner is disturbing.

CaraDuneRedux · 16/12/2020 19:09

It is very, very creepy though - to take such obvious delight in outing yourself as a would-be rapist on the feminist section of a very female dominated forum. This is definitely someone who gets off on boundary violations, at the very least in the virtual world. I couldn't possibly speculate about the real world, but let's just say if certain behaviour patterns visible on here carried over, I would not be in the least surprise.

Once again "When a man tells you who he is, listen." (Pronouns there because that's how it goes in the original quote, natch...)

@CoffeeTeaChocolate

I am slightly fascinated in a morbid way, the thought process is...unusual. I just would never have the energy to argue with them though, might as well discuss with my 7 year old - or my goldfish. The former might take some arguments onboard, the latter would not talk back.
Same here. Most people reading that thread will be thinking "WTF"! I've just got a vision of David Walliams in Little Britain saying one of his catchphrases.

CaraDuneRedux · 16/12/2020 18:54

As always, though, very much more revealing than perhaps the poster intends it to be. If OP of that thread was in good faith, they may well be finding the contributions... enlightening? Eye opening?

HecatesCatsInXmasHats · 16/12/2020 18:42

No, I don't think it is

midgebabe · 16/12/2020 18:37

That's ok then

HecatesCatsInXmasHats · 16/12/2020 18:26

I think they're enjoying it

midgebabe · 16/12/2020 17:56

Do you think they are actually ok? Mentally?

nauticant · 16/12/2020 16:46

I think they're being relatively honest too. One of the posters who push further and further to see how far things they can make things go while people are still trying to engage.

Winesalot · 16/12/2020 16:34

But Medusa, they have shown exactly how much respect they have for anyone else. At least they are upfront. I doubt it was not a deliberate choice when you look at their other posts.

MedusasBadHairDay · 16/12/2020 16:13

Yeah, "forces" is an interesting word choice. Whether that's an unintentionally revealing choice of word, or a deliberate choice, neither says anything good.

nauticant · 16/12/2020 16:09

It is shouting the word [--] at me. In particular, that they're a tomboy transgirl who, by means of passing, forces women to unwittingly accept them. This was the point it moved from uneasy to nauseating.

MedusasBadHairDay · 16/12/2020 16:08

Oh they're still going are they?

Winesalot · 16/12/2020 15:59

It is quite something isn't it naut?
