I'm thinking because of the wording this is a parody. Isn't it?

I've been thinking about it too and they can't have meant the Orwell reference uncritically... Can they?

WeAreGerbil · 12/07/2018 08:37

No idea. Google hasn't helped either.

I live in a farming community and there is an awful lot less swearing here than in the working class city community I spent the first 30-odd years of life living in. Farmers aren't particularly maledictive. How farmerphobic.

What I would say is that any blue-hairs arriving to my community would probably fall to their knees in worship because they'd think they'd arrived in the Land of the Transman. Not much in the way of dresses, long hair and makeup for the women around here. It's wellies or workboots, workshirts, jeans and cropped hair. Weirdly enough though, all the women consider themselves to be women.

How odd. Anyone would think that woman is not a costume or something equally revolutionary and dangerous.

Maybe the answer to this mess is (again) for T to break off from LGB. it says that there has been a trans pride. Given many transactivists try to steamroll over the other letters anyway, and LGB and T have different focuses, perhaps the answer is to go back to pride being about homosexual/bi people...and have a trans pride separate?

Pineapples are apples.

Interesting point about the transmen message being pretty unreadable.

ballsballsballs · 12/07/2018 08:44

Transwomen are not women.

wrappedupinmyselflikeaspool · 12/07/2018 08:44

Transplants ARE plants LOL Grin

What about catfish? Are they cats or fish?

This is a re-introduction of a blog post which people were complaining could not be accessed on their work computers!

ROMANES EUNT DOMUS!

Now write it out a hundred times...

The first time I watched Life Of Brian I thought it was hilarious. It’s still hilarious every time of course, but for a few years it seemed a little less relevant as the world went through a period of relative sanity.

Anyway I’m Spartacus, and so’s my wife - can we burn her now?

Wanderabout · 12/07/2018 08:53

If Self-ID goes through the projected sign may as well say:

"Men are women if they say they are"

Bowlofbabelfish · 12/07/2018 08:54

There is no erasure because trans women are women

I thought we’d established that humans cannot change sex? Are you now saying that humans can change sex?

AngryAttackKittens · 12/07/2018 08:54

Catfish are both cats and fish.

(Since they like to swim maybe the cat bit is Turkish Van?)

Thank you for posting that link - only Monty Python could make a joke out of Latin grammar!

AnchorMum · 12/07/2018 09:01

Once we start asserting that Transwomen are actual women, all actual truth ceases to exist.

If you believe that TWAW then it's only logical to believe that transwomen do have actual periods, that a dick is female and that men are lesbians.

#Mantras are male TRAs

BertsFriend · 12/07/2018 09:03

You're wrong Snappity, no one, absolutely no one outside of your echo chamber believes it. I feel sorry for you because I gather that your partner is trans, and as a couple you must want to feel accepted, and I hope you are. But part of that acceptance mustn't be an insistence that everyone else denies biological fact.

You'll find that most people don't mind how others present, but we mind being told how to think - I can't speak for everyone but that's where my anger is coming from on this issue. I'm not 'transphobic', I don't care how others live their lives, wouldn't bat an eyelid how your partner dresses, but don't tell me the messaging service between my eyes and my brain is faulty because that's gaslighting.

AngryAttackKittens · 12/07/2018 09:14

Didn't Munroe Bergdorf recently say that they know that people are mostly just humoring them? I suspect that Snappity knows it too.

AngryAttackKittens · 12/07/2018 09:16

I mean, my nephew decided he was a Pokeman for a while. We didn't correct him, just patted him on the head and sent him back out to play.

Of course he was about 4 at the time, but it's the same principle if we're being honest.

Yes. Uncustomarily perceptive I thought.

BettyDuMonde · 12/07/2018 09:22

You know who the LGBT editor is at Dazed right?

Shon Faye.

They need to go back to their old title of ‘Dazed and Confused’ because they seem to be a bit confused at what ‘women’ means.

Adult Human Female. Plural.

Ilikelotsofthinngs · 12/07/2018 09:22

Not sure why anyone is still engaging with snappiity tbh.
Almost everything they say is complete nonsense, some of it utterly revolting language towards women.
They are not open to reason or facts so what is the point.
They are just derailing and bogging down threads with lies and gaslighting.
It's actually painful to read.

AngryAttackKittens · 12/07/2018 09:25

I think the engagement with Snappity is mostly for the benefit of the lurkers. Certainly nobody is under the impression that we can reason with them.

Noqont · 12/07/2018 09:31

Lol. They can shout all they want. Doesn't change the truth. People know that. Transwomen are not women. Its all in the biology.

Oscarino · 12/07/2018 09:34

I think a lot of TRAs realise this; it’s what causes the rage. They went for the Big Lie - trans women are women, and it is backfiring because people cannot be forced to believe.

TheFemaleGaze · 12/07/2018 09:40

@snappity
Johnson identified as male, Rivera never exclusively identified as female.

I don't agree with your statement.
And you said it: some people are gay, some people are trans women. Get over it. Just another category. But not adult females, i.e., women. Which is another category.

Waspnest · 12/07/2018 09:41

Oy, leave the Wombles out of this - 'The Orinoco Kid' is a work of genius according to my daughter when she was 8

I'm starting to wonder whether MNHQ are letting Snappity's posts stand for the lurkers Angry. Would explain why some of the really offensive ones on other threads are still visible.

AngryAttackKittens · 12/07/2018 09:42

Being humored is the best that can reasonably be expected, which does rather emphasize the fact that we are not dealing with reasonable people.
