most terfs I've seen are middle age + house wives etc with fuck all better to do than sit round and gossip and bitch about others while their husbands are busy fucking the lawn boy at the golf course

I don't think anyone has commented on this seriously. We should. It describes the husband fucking the lawn boy. It's a classic case of casual homophobia. It should be noted.

This is a good point. For all I have happily joked about having a lawn boy (despite not actually having a lawn), the casual homophobia and misogyny (TERFs are so unattractive our husbands are driven elsewhere) really oozes from the post. These are not nice people. They are not inclusive people. While I am perfectly happy to believe there are genuinely nice people with gender dysphoria (& we have seen some examples of that in this board in recent days) the TRAs are deeply deeply unpleasant and disturbed.

Thanks. I have very limited internet so didn’t manage to find and check it.

The question that's been tugging my sleeve is: Do they actually know what we think? If one were to ask a random commenter on that subreddit, would one get an accurate summary of the GC position?

I know the lovely women (and men) of this board could summarise the TRA perspective in a way they would consider accurate.

But can they do the same for us?

I wonder if those two questions perhaps have different answers (for some at least). They know the GC position but they would never say it out loud. Although I think for a lot of them they've never really given it too much thought and would just turn off the minute they felt invalidated so will have never heard and taken in the GC argument.

I hope not! I hate dresses, I'm more a jeans and t shirt sort of beetle. But if I have to I scrub up quite well!

Of course you scrub up well - those Far Right millions buy a lot of ball gowns and Lawn Boy beetle-wranglers

Latest GC organisation news from those in the know.

https://x.com/AjaTheEmpress/status/1919647583749709836

"A recent ex-GC person said this week that the GC movement is highly organised, operating in local cells of about 50 people to a cell, carrying out leafleting and other operations, with private WhatsApp groups which are mostly mockery of trans people and advocates."

How did they find out about size of the local cells? Who has been blabbing?

A easy mistake to make - there are only 5 in each cell, as per instructions from TERF HQ, but because it's five women we can each do the work of ten men.....

Damn! There’s 52 in ours. And I was last in. Will I get the boot?

You make a valid point about TERFs infighting - the Tunnocks Teacakes v. Tunnocks Wafers split got quite ugly at one point.

Fortunately, the rift was healed by somebody saying 'A Tunnocks split! that sounds delicious!' so they split a Tunnocks wafer in half and filled it with smashed Tunnock Teacake and ice cream. Sprinkled with Tunnock crumb, and topped off with whipped cream. Then a bit more Tunnock crumb, then a bit more whipped cream, then somebody called halt.

We have been united and laser-focused ever sinceGrin

Sorry, but that's what the top brass wanted you to think. In truth, we just quietly acquired a few more lawn boys and that solved everything.

Damn. Is it too early for second breakfast? Because for some reason I fancy some Tunnocks…

What a joke. The terfs aren’t well organised at all. We’ve been infighting since 2015. The trans issue would have been put to bed years ago if we had been organised. The TRAs are very organised. It’s only now they’re losing that they’re becoming dissatisfied with themselves

@PriOn1 There was also a video of a man who goes out and films police. I think he called himself the laughing auditor,

Yes the Scots fella. I follow a few of these auditors and it was via his videos I started to see the behaviour of TRA's during their protests.
He filmed one protest they held outside the LGB alliance HQ. It was like some weird street party/daytime rave. The middle-aged women walked out afterwards and made a few humorous quips about the TRA's there
I don't know if that's the one you mean. I think he's also filmed a few LWS events too.

Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminist. In reality it means anyone who disagrees that men can actually become women or anything else the TRAs voice as fact.

Wow!!! This is DARVO on stilts!

Actually it looks like a reversal of something a woman might have written about the movement that is based on men claiming to be women. Funny 😂

That was the very first thing I noticed about this movement a decade ago. It’s a TRA signature. I think they get a kick when they make the most outrageous DARVO they can pull off.

MimTheWitch said this (my bolding) rather amusing load of crock: "Another advantage the TERFs have over us is that they aren't limited to telling the truth. The media don't want truth, they want controversy, views and clicks. Indeed the basic TERF premise, from which all others flow, that trans women are a special threat to cis women has no basis in reality. Once they lie about that, without getting called out on it by the media, then any other lie is fair to them. We are limited to telling the truth only, rigorously backed by stats, or be pilloried for it. If we call out one TERF lie, they'll scattergun a dozen more, so we are always on the back foot."

I don’t think I need a lawn boy. Having a weekly cleaner might be useful though. And he could sweep the balcony.

Is it an either/or situation on the cleaner or lawn boy do you know? I’d like a cleaner please.

dubaichocolate · 06/05/2025 09:02

There’s also the time spent watching porn and masturbating. If they cut down on that and instead started organising and writing to their MP, who knows what they could achieve?
