Vice: how an online forum for moms became a toxic hotbed of transphobia

Thought people might be interested in this article. One thing that strikes me is the 'reducing women to their biology' argument. Don't transwomen 'know' they're not male because their body feels wrong? Then it is about biology isn't it? Otherwise why do they think they're female?

Grin I think there is some mileage in this. The 'kids' would love it kittens.

I shall take that as an ear worm while grudgingly rousing the troops to try to make the house slightly less of a hovel!

Doo-lang doo... it's like it's written for you Smile

Motown? It's got to be Aretha Franklin singing for FWR.

Here she is, singing her heart out, whilst the Obamas wipe away a tear and Carole King ( who wrote the song) hops up and down with joy.

FWR, thanks for being here Flowers

I'm sure I saw "Toxic Hotbed" supporting Poison and the Quireboys in 1991.

BirdsEye Thank you for that, darling! Beautiful!

Outrage is a preference for the habitual participant of what is known as Wokelife
And dangerous opinions can be avoided if you take a route straight through what is known as (Wokelife!)
Jay's on a twitter break, ze gets literally killed by the evil TERFS they love a bit of it (Wokelife!)
Who's that feminist marching? You should stop talking about female reproductive system, centre some penis.

All the identities
So many identities
And they all go tweet by tweet
Tweet by tweet through their wokelife
Know what I mean?

HerFemaleness wins! Unfortunately her prize will most likely be a lot of whinging, possibly a few doxxing threats.

LikeDust · 08/12/2018 12:05

So many great posts!

Brilliant femaleness - very catchy!

Jacky love it Grin

Watched that again BirdsEye it's hard to not blub at that. The aging of her voice makes her sound even better. So moving.

Tinsel Toxic Hotbed take hair metal to another level. What with all the talk about what the sheets are made of, I am now imagining them made of red latex with all of us shaking enormous perms and writhing around with water spraying over us.

You should cut down on your pornlife mate, get some exercise Grin

If we are doing Blur we don’t have to change the lyrics:

Girls who are boys
Who like boys to be girls
Who do boys like they're girls
Who do girls like they're boys
Always should be someone you really love

Thank goodness Sandy Draws Badly didn't accidentally post our blueprints for the radicalisation portal. That technology is so powerful it must only ever remain in MN hands.

The article brought me from twitter to here.

Lol. Twitter eh?

So proud to have been the supplier of the coffee liqueur and flapjack recipes to the thread. I think I deserve a Royal Seal.

You should cut down on your pornlife

Those Def Leppard and Whitesnake videos never leave you... Grin

BirdseyeFrozen · 08/12/2018 12:40

Hmmm, a bit teary with Aretha also. it always makes me blub - but by heck, it's powerful uplifting stuff.

The footie match is on the telly. The one I love thinks that I am overcome by Jurgen Klopp's unnatural beauty. Grin

Perhaps I just need to take up yoga, but is it not fairly obvious that peeing on a door in the manner of a dog marking territory is more easily accomplished if you have a penis?
