Fun new game: TERF translator

72 replies

Wanderabout · 07/05/2018 08:31

Here's how to play. Find examples of people using the word 'TERF' and replace them with the true meaning of the word, which is of course: 'women who say things I don't like.'

So I'll start, here's a fine example:
"Release the hounds on this councillor Lily. Every TERF needs to be hounded out of politics and business and educated"

Translation:

"Release the hounds on this councillor Lily. Every woman who says things I don't like needs to be hounded out of politics and business and educated"

Lots of great material for this game available, doesn't need to be from twitter though there's plenty there.

I am going to start playing this game on Twitter.
#WarOnWomen

Anyone else want to join in?

Lesbians (who dare to be homosexual females) are so transphobic. They are no better women who say things I don't like. I am no less of a woman just because I have a penis.

OnTheList · 07/05/2018 14:21

Altered the first bold. It was just 'lesbians' but I thought it worth clarifying

A new game, I'm in.

''Jesus Christ, Women who say things I don't like are on a whole other level of fucking INSANE. No time for that kind of blind, willful ignorance & unbridled & misguided hatred. ''

''Hey, if you wanna stick it to the Women who say things I don't like, 1 of the BEST ways to fight back is supporting my activism work whenever they attack me. I'm a full-time civil rights activist & depend on YOUR pledges to make my work possible. Please pledge!''

''Women who say things I don't like are a cancer. Let's stand up to these cancers. ''

thebewilderness · 07/05/2018 21:26

I'm in!
I don't make the rules. I just document them.

She may be a woman who says things I don’t like in disguise.

LangCleg · 07/05/2018 21:39

Take no notice of Lang, who does not seem to get that all the violent threats and tweets, just gets a bit wearing after a few years.

Meh. I do get it, thankyouverymuch.

I just thought we'd end up with yet another Swiss cheese thread. But it doesn't seem to have happened, so do carry on!

HerFemaleness · 07/05/2018 22:14

'' Women who say things I don't like are disgusting and have more in common with fascists than with liberals ''

I don't think this poppet knows what liberalism is.

'' Women who say things I don't like lie. Routinely. Just like all bigots lie routinely. Don't take their word for anything about trans. ''

My irony meter just blew up.

This translator really helps makes sense of TA ravings. Most helpful and enlightening.

Would making up a WWSTIDL account help with the deployment? Just really thinking about the limitations of twitter, no bolding, would it need highlighting in another way, like some kind of symbol or bracket around the translation?

thebewilderness · 07/05/2018 22:56

Come and play with us LaSqrrl!

LaSqrrl · 07/05/2018 23:09

I would hate to think how many years it is since I have used my twitter... I checked before, there were cobwebs all over the place!

Thanksforthatamazingpost · 08/05/2018 10:05

I like it!

LaSqrrl · 08/05/2018 11:27

A whole bunch of material for the translator, from Man Friday's post:

The lesson from today’s discourse: kill all terfs
The lesson from today’s discourse: kill all > THAT EXISTS WITH A BASEBALL BAT

I want to rape a terf to death then chop its body into pieces and leave them for the crows – Same
I want to rape a > to burn alive and suffer

Time to burn some TERF
Time to burn some > fucktards

If you are a terf and/or you don’t think transwomen are women you can suck my cock you cuntface!
If you are a >

My completely last minute Halloween costume that I forgot to post about last night. I was a TERF slayer.

Boys will be boys, it seems.
Right now sitting here, wondering why on earth I don't want to share spaces with these people. It's so hard to articulate.

Women who say things I don't like are trash! And should be kerb stomped and/or smashed in the teeth with a brick!

AnotherRandomMale · 08/05/2018 13:16

Are all the "men who say things I don't like" still misogynists?

Ereshkigal · 08/05/2018 13:17

No, only the misogynistic ones.

The rare males described as TERFs translate as "men who agree with women who say things I don't like'

The Man Friday crop is Shock

That song ! Shock . I don’t have the words....the irony of the anti fascist poster..the bizarre suggestions that women who say things they don’t like are misogynists. The threats of a brick to the teeth and kerb stomping. I had to google kerb stomping as I had no idea what it was. I feel sick now, I wish I was still in ignorance

I had the same reaction.

Surprise, huh?

Opheliah · 08/05/2018 18:24

The thing is, the TRAs are already on top of the rebranding because they tend to now say
"Anti trans activist"
rather than TERF.

So anti trans activist needs to also mean WWSTIDL.

But it works well otherwise.
