Where do you go with this? HmmConfused

(Obviously you just don’t. There is no point in even starting. You just roll your eyes until they ache. But still...)

Where do we go with this?!

I lose the will to live (almost 🙄) when I read this shit! 😡

RedToothBrush · 04/12/2018 23:27

What will be next, will we need to group Steaks with vegetables, because some self-ID ing vegan gets triggered when being called out for eating meat?

Funny you should say that!!!

PETA @peta 2 hours ago.
Words matter, and as our understanding of social justice evolves, our language evolves along with it. Here’s how to remove speciesism from your daily conversations.

Just as it became unacceptable to use racist, homophobic, or ableist language, phrases that trivialize cruelty to animals will vanish as more people begin to appreciate animals for who they are and start ‘bringing home the bagels’ instead of the bacon.

If he was playing "Bollocks Bingo" he'd have a full house by now. May I be the first to yell BOLLOCKS!!!

RedToothBrush · 04/12/2018 23:30

You can't say bollocks anymore.

Neither can you say balls.

Indeed, best just to learn sign language and have done with it.

The Peta Thread in all its glory.

There are some very pissed off vegans and vegetarians.

MrsFogi · 04/12/2018 23:33

I can say bollocks because I am special and identify as a person who needs to say BOLLOCKS loudly whenever my male vagina tingles at the mention of a lady penis.

HestiaParthenos · 05/12/2018 00:09

My eyes rolled so much I can now only see the inside of my head. It's a good thing I learnt blind typing, or I wouldn't be able to comment on this thread. Wink

ErrolTheDragon · 05/12/2018 00:26

Are PETA implying 'scone' rhymes with 'stone'?ShockAngry

ErrolTheDragon · 05/12/2018 00:35

And who the heck feeds birds on scones anyway? Sunflower seed, grain and mealworms would be better. Misses point of thread, and PETA

Please don't dismiss this as Twitter lunacy. Just in the last week I've had an otherwise intelligent nice woman tell me very seriously that the minute a man feels female, they are female-bodied. Their penis becomes female. I was lectured how if you disagree with this you are the same as the people who disagreed with gay people having rights. Apparently it's near impossible to spot a trans person and it's a media myth that either any abused women care about sharing refuges with them or that any trans people have ever done any harm.

It's cult-like and sinister but it's not confined to Twatter.

Apparently it's near impossible to spot a trans person and it's a media myth that either any abused women care about sharing refuges with them or that any trans people have ever done any harm.

... and if women traumatized by male violence are triggered by the sight of a female penis, then they are transphobic and must learn to not be transphobic, or leave the refuge that graciously allowed them to stay if only they were willing to share a room with a transwoman and her female penis.

I was told this by a member of my uni's so-called feminist group.

No worries, most people here know it is not only on twitter.

Datun · 05/12/2018 02:49

My eyes rolled back so far they went completely around the world and have come up behind me to stare sternly at my looming bum hole.

TinyRick · 05/12/2018 03:09

If the penis isn't a male organ, why does it trigger their dysphoria?

Because they are biologically a female.

They'd probably tell me off for acknowledging that though 😅

TinyRick · 05/12/2018 03:11

Found this as a bonus...

Where to start 🤔

Jesus fucking Christ.

Darklene · 05/12/2018 04:02

Why are people bringing PETA into this?

They gave value concerns even if they’re going about it wrong.

It’s not the same. Please don’t conflate the issues.

Darklene · 05/12/2018 04:04

I’m totally on board with people waking up to not abusing animals.

Saying cocks are female IS TOTALLY DIFFERENT

TwistedChristmas · 05/12/2018 07:12

I didn't mean it's only on twitter. It's just that twitter seems to be particularly virulent with this type of thing.

gendercritter · 05/12/2018 07:45

No of course.

I was just so horrified to find this view in someone in their 30's rather than just some naive kid online which probably doesn't make any sense but the person I was given a talking to by is otherwise so.....sane. So normal. (Horrible words but hopefully you understand my gut reaction) She isn't a zealous uni student. Doesn't have blue hair. Is intelligent. Has life experience and has been in an abusive relationship. And it makes you realise how capable even the most fanciful ideologies can be at infecting people and spreading. I didn't even argue with her, I thought her views ran so deep. It was like coming up against a creationist

Now that is offensive!

PreseaCombatir · 05/12/2018 08:41

You must try harder Winston. It’s not easy to become sane.

FeminismandWomensFights · 05/12/2018 08:55

That tweet is so telling, that the priority here is ‘penile autonomy’ - ie those with penises can do whatever they want..

andyoldlabour · 05/12/2018 09:52

Do these people actually believe what they are saying and are they living in a fantasy World?

Rattinghat · 05/12/2018 10:27

Quick Note: don't call me kiddo because I identify as an adult. Problem is I still can't spell and yet I go around dishing advice on science terminology.

Oh and FYI, calling yourself DJ-anything is so last century. Thought you had your finger on the pulse!

Tackytriceratops · 05/12/2018 10:35

I'm blaming most of this crap on the fact that that book was lost to a generation when it went out of print. At least IW recognises there are two sexes and transsexual is a correct term. Clare Raynor would be rolling her eyeballs so far out they would be clattering and spiralling around the

With serious head on, it's such a bloody good book about general body stuff. Germs, breathing, skeleton, getting old etc. As well as babies.
