Predictably I got blocked from twitter after Miranda Yardley's treatment made me peak peak trans

Yes. TW are men, and some of the TW I’ve run into are the most stereotypical men. Lots of military/gun loving/law enforcement types in the mix. Always struck me as higher than the average

I've noticed on USA trans websites, the TIM's are all into welding, flying planes, hot rods etc. Stereotypical men's things. Now I would love to see women do these things, but they were also what they did when presenting as men. Some of the stuff I've read involves heavy lifting and a decent amount of muscle mass. They still do it with Oestrogen, yet claim to lose muscle mass when they want to take over women's sport.

The fixation this particular person has on Miranda is a wee bit creepy.

LangCleg · 28/05/2018 14:12

Just had a look at your tweets and you seem to have a rather unhealthy obsession with Miranda. You should really consider backing off trolling him.

And back off using this board to do it.

NotTG · 28/05/2018 14:14

Yes.

“How did you know you were a woman?”
“I’ve always loved pink and kittens and knitting!”
“Oh...that IS a pretty convincing arguement. I see here that you also rebuild engines and can break down and reassemble numerous rifles while blindfolded?”
“I was forced to do these things to try to fit in!”

And yet somehow, no male socialization.

Magic.

AngryAttackKittens · 28/05/2018 14:16

The best one was the transwoman who claimed they became a Navy Seal in an attempt to fit in, "pass" as a proper man, etc.

Do you have any idea how hard it is to become a Navy Seal? I mean, it's not exactly getting a boring haircut in the hopes that you won't stick out too much/

spontaneousgiventime · 28/05/2018 14:17

Cake, eat it and eat everyone else's cake is certainly a TIM attribute. I've read it over and over. They should do an Olympic discipline in it, gold every time.

iamawoman · 28/05/2018 14:18

We could call it twatter😀

AngryAttackKittens · 28/05/2018 14:19

If women have any cake we're oppressing TRAs by eating it. Even if we only get a small nibble, still unfair and deserving of punishment.

spontaneousgiventime · 28/05/2018 14:20

AngryAttackKittens Even a woman having a mould biscuit crumb would be too much for some of them.

mirandayardley · 28/05/2018 14:26

‘I’m going to do 400 tweets about why Miranda Yardley is an obsessive abusive stalker’.

I just can’t get you out of my head...

Mamaryllis · 28/05/2018 14:33

Oi. I can disassemble and assemble rifles blindfold. Grin It’s a perfectly ladylike occupation, I’ll have you know.
And kittens BITE!
I’ve had that chat w British tg before though. The GRC is to blame as it cements stereotypes. I’ve had lengthy convos trying to explain that giving up won’t make you a woman - and why would you give it up if you enjoy it? The answer is always fear that the GRC won’t happen unless they comply fully with feminine stereotypes.
It’s a shit show all round. There is a small part of me that is in favour of the US recognizing that hobbies don’t delineate sex. But largely it’s an irrelevance, as changing sex is an impossibility.
Life is weird.

spontaneousgiventime · 28/05/2018 14:36

Now Miranda! How do you know Christine is not a secret admirer? You could well be the cause of rivers of mascara now. Cruel person! Grin

Pratchet · 28/05/2018 16:55

I absolutely adore you lot. Actually in the trenches with awful people attacking and still Grin

It's a breath of fresh air

mirandayardley · 28/05/2018 17:31

Oh dear. Christine is feeling sad.

I read that Pink News article linked upthread.

I got as far as pink miniskirt and fishnets and stopped reading.

Answer to the question ‘where did all the transgestites go?’

spontaneousgiventime · 28/05/2018 18:01

Popchyk I didn't get that far and after your post am pleased I didn't.

Ereshkigal · 28/05/2018 18:06

Re Angels

Someone suggested that it would be a reasonable safeguard to ban people with a sex offence conviction from self ID to get a GRC. But obvs others disagreed:

Sex offences is far too broad an exclusion. You can end up on the sex offenders register for drunkenly slapping someone's backside. If an offender is a serious danger to the public then they need locking up in either prison or a secure mental hospital. In other cases it's just pandering to the TERFs.

Much empathy. Such womanly.

spontaneousgiventime · 28/05/2018 18:11

Ereshkigal I truly wish people would read that forum. It's a cesspit of misogyny and hatred of women. Some of the stuff in there is enough to make your toes curl. The admin today, again is saying they don't want Angels ripped apart here. They need to moderate the hate speech towards women then we wouldn't post here about them, chicken fillets, how to hide your beard shadow and size 12 shoes are not really our interest.

Ereshkigal · 28/05/2018 18:17

Christ. No words. Also linked on the Angels forum this delightful article from everyone's favourite mirror pecking budgie.

As soon as I noticed it was written by SF I clicked off.

FlippinFumin · 28/05/2018 18:38

I think we ought to go FERT hunting. Female Excluding Radical Trans. I think in the spirit of words and making them up and shit, we ought to just call them FARTs. We won't have to look very far.

Bowlofbabelfish · 28/05/2018 18:43

They don't look at the content of tweets. It's an algorithm being manipulated by transactivist

This is now illegal under GDPR though, isn’t it? Prejudice via algorithm is now forbidden.

So why is it still happening? It’d make an interesting test case.

mirandayardley · 28/05/2018 18:44

Trans culture is profoundly anti-woman. They have no interest in listening to what women say about their own lives as women.
