They just get creepier and creepier with every video.

HotRocker · 19/07/2018 20:23

Oh God, dare I?
Bets on, how long before I tell it to fuck off and switch it off.

HotRocker · 19/07/2018 20:27

Ok, I made it to 2:26. The enamel on my teeth can’t cope.

UglyCathKidstonBag · 19/07/2018 20:31

“Your local lesbian”
Those videos seem designed to provoke a hostile response and thus give Riley an income. No ads playing before though, looks like it is demonitised already.

I like the glasses. Probably make gazing at the navel easier.
For someone who talks so fast.. She doesn't actually say anything.

Wow, RJD trying to pretend RJD gets dirty homophobic looks if kissing girlfriend in public.
Doubt it people just see a dude kissing a female.

Gncq · 19/07/2018 20:37

Seriously do not watch the whole of this it's physically painful.
I'll just mention the bit where he starts saying how veh hard it was growing up because society expected him to fancy boys but he didn't.
Right......

Whattheactualfuckmate · 19/07/2018 20:40

Attention seeker (yawn)

FloralBunting · 19/07/2018 20:43

Yeah, Riley. You dealt with heteronormative conditioning like other 'lesbians' because you felt you had to be into guys.

But of course, you were an even more obvious male at that point, so it wouldn't have been remotely heteronormative for you to explore liking guys, would it?

So actually, you know chuff all about what it's like for women to feel coerced into penis.

Which is blindingly obvious to anyone who has watched all the shit you've posted trying to add to the misery of lesbians in that situation.

As to the fantasy world in which people are homophobically giving Riley and girlfriend the side eye... Oh. Dear. God.

Wherismymind · 19/07/2018 20:52

I couldn't make it past 3 mins of the drival.

But I was wondering while it was on. Most of these "lesbian" trans women seem to date mainly other "lesbian" trans women. Could that be part of why they are so instant on the whole lady dick, TWAW thing. Because otherwise they would have to admit that they are just a guy dating another guy, and as RJD said, she would never ever want people to even think she dates a man. (Obvs I don't know the sex or gender of RJD partner I'm talking in general terms and using a comment she made in the video)

pombear · 19/07/2018 20:57

A low-budget, much less articulate dissection of Riley's film than Magdalen would do:

Oh Riley. You still have a penis.

Despite how fast you talk, we can see through your falsehoods.

You're a male-bodied person, potentially with gender dysphoria, who likes female-bodied people.

That means you can travel with your penis passport in all those places you're worried about without being assaulted or beaten, because you're a male-bodied person dating (I believe) a female-bodied person. Your passport, literally, will be your out from being legally punished for holding hands with your girlfriend in those places.

In Oz, probably not. Though lots of people get odd looks. Which isn't right. We should campaign for noone to get odd looks (not because they think they're a lesbian, but because no one should get odd looks). Because no one, anywhere, should be beaten or judged for how they present, regardless of their biological sex.

(PS the odd looks probably aren't because they think you're lesbian, even though lesbians get harrassment, but because they're reading lots of social cues and trying to work them out. male dating female, but presenting as female )

If you tie up your hair and wear gender-non-stereotypical clothes and walk around with your girlfriend, at the least, people may wonder. But they'd most likely read you as male person with female person, male person choosing signifiers that are outside the 'norm' of male people.

You're straight. Many males who break the norms of what people think of as 'male' get funny looks. It's shit. If you're choosing to adopt the stereotypical clothing and behaviour of females, you still shouldn't be judged.

We should shout and campaign against it. You should be able to be proud and happy to walk alongside your girlfriend. That doesn't make you a lesbian.

And seeing as I'm assuming you weren't trans as a young teenager, I really can't see that you were pressurised into liking boys. The heteronormativity you speak of - that affects gay biological females and males - would presume you were pressurised into liking girls? (Erm,which you do now!) You're appropriating.

PS you can go to bars and clubs even if you don't drink. They're not 'non-drinking-exclusive' places. 7up and lime and soda are a good alternative. Are we to see a new 'alcohol exclusionary radical drinkers' category so your feelz are even more hurt? AERDs?

Oh, and by the way, you yourself say you haven't run into anyone saying they hate gay people. Just the rolling eyes and shoving into people. That's horrible, and shouldn't happen,

But you're not gay. You are a male-bodied person who is breaking the stereotypes of what it means to be male, dating a female-bodied person.

You're straight.

In a world that doesn't like confusion. So I can see why you may experience prejudice and that's not on.

But you're straight.

Sorry about that for the unicorn spit and all.

No they don't date other transwomen, they really don't.
RJD and the like are attracted to females. When asked would they date a woman with a penis the answer is usually no because penis is too "triggering" or other BS.

Some TW obviously do date other TW but it's more rare. Basically gay or bisexual blokes (gay as in the male-on-male way not the male-on-female way).

I've just read a few blogs and comments from trans women saying they are dating another trans woman because lesbians refuse to see them as real woman and because they have a shared experiance with trans women.

Vickyyyy · 19/07/2018 21:26

Hmm

I have thought this possible for a while now, but any chance Riley is a troll of the Danielle Muscato 'women who don't think I am a woman can suck my dick' type?

hipsterfun · 19/07/2018 22:24

Yeah, I think Riley’s trolling. Riley’s not even trying to pretend otherwise anymore.

PositivelyPERF · 19/07/2018 22:35

I think you all need to calm down and stop picking on poor Riley. Here’s a picture of some lovely ladies, to calm you down. 😇

donajimena · 19/07/2018 22:41

hipster I agree. I think its all an act. It makes me feel bad for the supporters who have commented with their admiration.

UglyCathKidstonBag · 19/07/2018 22:49

Riley has to be trolling at this point. It is so inflammatory.

OP posts:
Dragoncake · 19/07/2018 23:00

I agree about the trolling. There are so many inconsistencies with previous videos. In this one Riley says that your sexual orientation is inherent (paraphrase). Which is good. But not what Riley said in that previous video when Riley reprimanded lesbians for not considering transwomen as sexual partners.

SlothSlothSloth · 19/07/2018 23:07

I don’t think Riley is actively trolling, because she actually went so far as to have facial surgery. Her inconsistencies are accounted for by the fact she clearly hasn’t thought very deeply about, well, anything really.

I will say her surgery has been quite successful and I can believe she might get homophobic looks and so on when she’s with her GF. I wouldn’t necessarily 100% know she was trans - certainly not at a glance. Also it’s possible that some of what she’s interpreting as homophobia is actually transphobia, from people who can tell.

The part about her feeling pressured to be attracted to boys is a clear lie, though. If you google old pictures of her you will see that even just a few years ago she was presenting as fully masculine. Who are these imaginary people who were pressuring a straight teenage boy to go out with other boys? It’s simply impossible that this is true and it’s an insult to lesbians who really did and do experience this.

hipsterfun · 19/07/2018 23:09

Riley has this expression like ‘what do I have to say or do before the penny drops!’.

In an earlier video, I noticed Riley states that Riley doesn’t wish to go into personal medical detail. One can only speculate why that might be.

FloralBunting · 19/07/2018 23:09

I think Riley is just keen to appropriate any and all identity cookies they can, and has probably heard quite a bit of stuff from other YouTubers and thinks this kind of simpering bullshit will actually gain more of the kudos Riley thinks they're entitled to.

Riley has learned that they can say whatever they want, as long as they say it really fast, use lots of jargon and point to their patreon at the end.

So yeah, Riley is Queen of the under bridge dwellers alright.
