Courting the far right is wrong....

...if you follow that with a ‘but’ to justify Posie Parker’s courting of the far right, then you are a fascist.

I said I would only post one thing on this board. I kept that promise.

But this is the pits right here. Posie Parker is seeking funding and making deals with white supremacist, crypto fascists, misogynists, homophobes and racists. How does this not show you what your movement is and has always been?

You need to look at yourselves. If your response is anything other than total rejection of posie Parker and all the groups she is involving herself with, then you are just as bad. If you think that trans people/‘trans activists’ are worse than Tommy Robinson, ultra trump supporters and others who spew far right views then you are a racist, sexist, homophobic nightmare. Those labels equally describe what a person is as well as what a person does.

“But what about TRA’s?” Some of you will want to scream at me.

You don’t see Paris Lees going off to get funding from literal fascists. Hell, Caitlin Jenner votes for trump and the global trans community has never and will never forgive her. And either way, none of what “they” do will magically make it okay to go suck up to people that think gay people should be sterilised or that Muslim’s are evil.

Transphobia is revolting. It’s wrong, and it comes as no surprise to hear that transphobia (which most of you peddle right here) will eventually push people towards other kinds of hate.

Take a long hard look at yourselves. I’m a transgender woman, a mum, and I hope at least some of you are seriously thinking about what kind of person you want to be.

OMG I gave the kid in the queue in the shop a quid cos he was short

Cheesus fucking christ...you just reminded me that on Thursday I didn't have change for the car park so went into town and couldn't find a cash machine and a man said he would give me a pound for the machine. I didn't realise that in doing so I would now rule him 4 ever.

He was quite cute, I should have accepted it.

*in the end it was too cold for the tickety person to be ticketing so early so I didn't get a parking notice and got away with it.

CaptainKirksSpookyghost · 26/01/2019 17:27

You should care because if you want to be heard, you need people to want to listen.

People are already listening. This is happening without pandering to you.

lisamuggeridge · 26/01/2019 17:27

We should accept penis is female but women expressing the wrong views can be kicked out of womanhood, that is actually magic. What does the acronym TERF mean again? The worst thing you can do is kick them out of feminism and we cant do it cos someone has a dick but we have to do it if a woman commits wrongthink in eyes of internet crazy mob? This kind of nonsense is why people are driven to boiling eggs at half five in the afternoon. This is why I think not doing social media is best, you start thinking that makes sense you spend too much time on it.

AngryAttackKittens · 26/01/2019 17:28

Some people on the internet think we're bigots, we know.

Some people who in many cases I suspect of being several sandwiches short of a picnic. Still awaiting clarification on why I'm meant to strive for their approval.

CaptainKirksSpookyghost · 26/01/2019 17:28

People are listening, people on the steet.

Dadadaaa Dee daa dadadaaa.

userschmoozer · 26/01/2019 17:28

Eh, generally if you want to change the law to remove someone else's hard won rights all you need is a fuckton of money ime.

Oxytocindeficient · 26/01/2019 17:28

Don’t tell us what we need or what we should do, you bossy so and so.

CaptainKirksSpookyghost · 26/01/2019 17:29

clarification on why I'm meant to strive for their approval.

Presumably because you are told to?

sackrifice · 26/01/2019 17:29

You think a feminist that’s just entered the GC world is going to want to get on board with anti abortion protestors? You think anyone is going to believe it’s all in the name of woman when you don’t condem people like that?

Women are not a blob. They all have their own thoughts and opinions. I might disagree with many of them but they have a fucking right to those opinions, no matter how much your type want to shut them up.

feministfairy · 26/01/2019 17:29

Ok,
Since this morning we've being told what to think
We've been told what to say
We've been told who we mustn't talk about
We've been told where we mustn't spend our money
And now we're being told not to talk about food.

Ok - I have a Gin - a large one - and it's for sharing Grin

CaptainKirksSpookyghost · 26/01/2019 17:30

Make something fun and people will be more likely to listen.
😉

JellySlice · 26/01/2019 17:32

I've just put a haggis in the slow cooker to heat up for tonight.

Is that OK, sir? I'm not Scottish or anything. I suppose I could identify as Scottish, if that would help?

Hmm
HamiltonCork · 26/01/2019 17:32

So we shouldn’t spend our money how we want, consort with unapproved people or generally be embarrassing?

AngryAttackKittens · 26/01/2019 17:32

Also confused as to why I should want suggestions about how to recruit gendercritical women from someone who thinks gendercritical women are evil bastards. Next up, ask my fried who hates spicy food where to get the best Thai curry?

HamiltonCork · 26/01/2019 17:32

Jelly - that’s cultural appropriation so it’s off to the gulag with you.

lisamuggeridge · 26/01/2019 17:32

Sackrifice. We are stacking u these obligations. Fucking fuck. What have we done? What with that and the crazy people on teh internet not liking us I dont know how we will cope. We should have thought about this sooner.

lisamuggeridge · 26/01/2019 17:33

Am going to have another egg. Very sooting is a boiled egg done right. Times like this call for a boiled egg.

BernardBlacksWineIcelolly · 26/01/2019 17:34

Grin Grin Grin

that contouring video....!

AngryAttackKittens · 26/01/2019 17:35

As women it's very important to us that crazy internet people like us, because then they will want to be our friends and come round for a drink and...wait.

WeRiseUp · 26/01/2019 17:35

People are already listening. This is happening without pandering to you.

Exactly. The people who haven't clubbed themselves over the head with the stupid stick definitely are listening. They are able to make their own judgements instead of just reciting mantras like ludicrous automatons.

sackrifice · 26/01/2019 17:38

We are stacking up these obligations.

I know, right.

WeRiseUp · 26/01/2019 17:38

One of my favourite cringe moments is on that (I think fox and owl) video where the crowd people repeat "Non-binary people are valid!" in a unenthusiastic diminuendo.

AngryAttackKittens · 26/01/2019 17:39

But that's OK, because in between making horrifying pizzas our Swedish friends can provide us with appropriate storage units for a reasonable price.

WrathofRancidKlopp · 26/01/2019 17:40

You should care because if you want to be heard, you need people to want to listen

It is OK to disagree with people.
It is called having a debate, finding common ground.

#No debate is not an option, it is a tactic used to silence us.

WeRiseUp · 26/01/2019 17:41

jellyslice that's cultural appropriation - I suppose you'll start playing the bagpipes next.
