Can you imagine the condemnation and outrage if women behaved like that on trans-awareness day?Telling trans people to fuck off and die, holding placards saying we'll dance on their graves, encouraging pile-ons? It's such a sad indictment of what a woman-hating world we live in how this is generally accepted as a progressive thing to do.

She's either been on the sherry with all that airy fairy bullshit or she's trolling them - because the transmoaners are basically running the same argument that women have - that you cannot claim to be something you have never been and will never be. I wish someone would ask them how, if trans women are women, women cannot be trans women.

Don't know if AM is still pally with Rose McGowan (from their Charmed days), but I'm guessing AM will not have forgotten how RM was attacked by a transperson when she was trying to express sisterhood. Nothing but complete and utter submission is enough for these people.

Looks like complete submission from Debra Messing - "Under his Eye" - absolutely, Rocky !

The Debra Messing thing gave me chills - many years ago, when I was in a cult, they had a practice of publicly confessing in the group when you had sinned. I recall very vividly how it felt to say how very bad you were, and not just to ask for forgiveness, but to offer thanks for the opportunity to be humbled. There's a really odd kind of payoff of feeling that you had been suitably humiliated and this was a good and wholesome thing.

ToxtethOGradysBogey · 12/03/2019 10:20

Definitely a cult. And all cults gaslight and all cults feed their followers a diet of bullshit that's completely devoid of science, sense, objective reality and fairness. That's why you have to completely submit, because the minute you ask questions, the whole house of cards falls down. They don't want allies, they want followers: submissive, passive, apologist followers. You can't have any sense of self in a cult, you can't have any sense of self love or worth. That's why religion has original sin, and every other variation of original sin - so that its followers are always, no matter what they do, in the wrong. Every abusive relationship is a mini cult, the abuser does a number on the abused, the abused spends their whole life walking on eggshells, apologising, doing everything they are asked to do, but sill getting it wrong, listening very carefully, but still somehow hearing the wrong thing.....The transcult is an en masse gas lighting, abusive relationship.

None of this makes sense to me. But TRAs kicking off because 'you cannot become the thing you claim' is priceless really Grin

No love lost between Rose and Alyssa abcnews.go.com/amp/Entertainment/rose-mcgowan-alyssa-milano-meryl-streep-thoughts-hollywood/story?id=52751291 in fact regarding the Weinstein scandal #whoknew?

This was a comment I read on a press article not long ago. Seems apt here:

"As transgenders currently enjoy their day in the sun, it's worth noting that the very nature of the left's Oppression Olympics means that another even more marginalised and vulnerable group will soon emerge, and the gender-benders will be thrown under the bus just like women and gays have been in this unsavoury episode."

Who will this group be? What if it is the MAPs?

I can’t stop thinking about Debra Messing and the absurdity of a woman making a grovelling apology for err.. being a woman on IWD.

Knicknackpaddyflak · 12/03/2019 16:10

I think it was the lovely Clare Jane Jones who pointed out the TRA love for the Mr Murdstone, dead eyed, cane flexing monster who likes to repeat 'it's all for your own good'. Dickens was taking the piss out of that kind of behaviour 200 years ago.

Knicknackpaddyflak · 12/03/2019 16:11

Debra, the phrase you're looking for love is 'fuck that'. No lightning will strike, I promise.

This reply is just amazing

Unless you are male & want to identify as a woman then it’s fine Hmm

Ereshkigal · 12/03/2019 18:46

The Debra Messing thing makes me really uncomfortable. It's so pleading and submissive.

It always goes like this when female "allies" piss off the trans lobby. Only that level of grovelling in the dirt can in any way placate them (and they will never forgive).

But they are the oppressed fragile people, right?

She's just following the American tradition:

"I celebrate myself, and sing myself,
And what I assume you shall assume,
For every atom belonging to me as good as
belongs to you....

I am of old and young, of the foolish as
much of the wise ...
Maternal as well as paternal, a child as well
as a man ...
A Southerner soon as a Northerner ...
A farmer, mechanic, artist, gentleman,
sailor, quaker,
Prisoner, fancy-man, rowdy, lawyer,
physician, priest.
I resist anything better than my own
diversity,
Breathe the air but leave plenty after me,
And am not stuck up, and am in my place."

-- gay icon Walt Whitman.

It’s just sll about control and keeping people on the hop never feeling safe - keep em anxious and unsure

Lemoncakestrudel · 12/03/2019 20:31

So might as well not bother even trying then Hmm
