Oh dear, they said 'womxn'

Naughty, naughty....

BraveBananaBadge · 16/05/2021 09:20

The whole thing is painful. But what about the point that "sex work is a service"?

I know it's not completely apropos of nothing as an issue regarding some trans groups but it's presented here completely without context, and so aggressively too.

thinkingaboutLangCleg · 16/05/2021 09:13

Sorry, i couldn’t get past the first words: “Transwomen are women. It’s not up for debate, so don’t try to.”

Sure, tell women to shut up and take orders. We won’t do it, obviously, but it makes the writer feel big and special, and that’s all that matters.

mogloveseggs · 16/05/2021 08:47

I didn't get past the first paragraph as it is so hypocritical.

For anyone who doesn't know The Rules!!!!
Ereshkigalangcleg · 16/05/2021 00:02

Trans-only groups are there for a reason. These are also not your spaces

Ugh. The hypocrisy.

Obviously. It's a dominance display. We can have our spaces, you can't.

CardinalLolzy · 16/05/2021 00:01

To be fair, I think if they'd been asked to just do 25 they could have filled that with good and relevant ones (that most decent people already do).

CardinalLolzy · 15/05/2021 23:59

Ask, discreetly ask, don't ask, ask, never ask, always ask, don't ask, don't ask.

Your curiosity does not come before our comfort. Don’t expect answers and labor.

WhatWouldPhyllisCraneDo · 15/05/2021 23:55

So many of those rules work if you replace "trans" with "woman."
How ironic.

CardinalLolzy · 15/05/2021 23:51

When you are in queer spaces, repeat: “This is not my space, I will not fill it” and actually do what you say.

Fat-shaming.

The other 'Willis' poster is I believe still posting under a different name, same content.

Letsgetreadytocrumble · 15/05/2021 23:38

Lol!

'WE ARE THE FUCKING VICTIM'

😂

Nodal · 15/05/2021 23:26

Why are these people always folk! Can't they just be bloody people!

Mycatismadeofstringcheese · 15/05/2021 23:24

There’s one I agree with.

Queer is not a party theme. However I didn’t know that it was a thing people actually did.

There may be more, but like others I couldn’t finish the list.

@WhatyoutalkingaboutWillis

@AfternoonToffee : perfect summary! Nothing to be added!👍

SmiledWithTheRisingSun · 15/05/2021 21:51

Jeezus! 🙈🙈🙈

@womanity

I couldn’t make it past 14 & 15. I’ll never know the rest, because my eye-roll-o-meter doesn’t go high enough.
Me too! Stopped at 14, 15.

Trans issues are not for profit. That’s it

Honestly if it wasn’t for profit the modern trans movement wouldn’t even exist. Everything about it has been corpratised and exploited for profit.

52. Don't ask what gender dysphoria being a woman feels like because it's a stupid question and there's no way you can try to understand it.
100% this. The cognitive dissonance is overwhelming

@SocialAffairsAndWoodlandFolk

Lots of religions aren't this thorough. It's a lot to remember. I'd suggest to the author making it all rhyme and putting it together as a song, or an epic poem.

Or, at the very least, making it a little more grandiose.
"THOU SHALT NOT QUERY THE LOINS OF TRANS FOLK. IF THOU HATH SINNED IN THIS MANNER, THOU MAY BESTOW UPON THE TRANS FOLK A PAYPAL OFFERING OF A FATTED CALF."

Which wouldn't make it any easier to remember, but if you're going to be a tedious, didactic, self absorbed, opportunistic arse, you may as well do it with style.

Laughing so hard...

@SapphosRock

Fixed a few more:

  1. Do not fetishise trans folk lesbians. We are not your sexual experimentations. We do not want your penises.

  2. Learn what Mx No means.

  3. Trans Lesbian only groups are there for a reason. These are not your spaces.

  4. Your curiosity validation does not come before our comfort and safety. Don’t expect answers and labor.
