Spotted this today, an anti-terf joke by Lisa Kelly, bio reads:
#Transgender & #LGBT activist,@YorkLGBT Forum co-chair. part of the 'Free to be me' team.
'Free to be me' so long as you don't define a woman as adult human female or is a lesbian who refueses 'ladydick', it seems, in which case you are given the witches' bridle. I'm astounded this is acceptable - what if we changed the word 'Terf' to 'Trans', how would that sound? - and yet GC's are the ones accused of bigotry. Also, the typo is unfortunate and somewhat undermines the 'joke'...

Also: TERF's what, exactly, change or fail to change lightbulbs? Hands, vaginas, oppressively dainty little womanfeet?

Hackmum GrinGrin Absolutely it's not as if it was a long joke to remember. But I'm also confused coz even if I was a loony TRA I would be a bit embarrassed at an ally posting such a tumbleweed moment. I mean it was that rubbish I forgot to get cross at TERF for a second.

Maybe this person has been on the lunchtime gin, stumbled across some discarded cracker jokes and thought they'd have a go.

Or maybe we're all missing something?Grin

The self-identifying-joke got 4 likes out of 19.4K followers anyway, so perhaps there's some peaking going on.

I always find that males just cannot help their hatred of women. Can't even fake it.

You're all being mean. If it identifies as a joke it is one. If you're not laughing that's cos you're bigots.

That joke is brave and stunning. If your humour doesn't centre humourless and incomprehensible strings of words it isn't humour.

If it was funny it would be a cis joke.
Only TRANS jokes can be brave & stunning.

TheCountessofFitzdotterel · 15/03/2019 16:07

Trans jokes are really the only truly funny jokes, because they want to be funny and have worked at it whereas cis jokes just take it for granted.

Exactly.

RockyFlintstone · 15/03/2019 16:18

Oh my god, what did I even just read? I think they have missed out a comma, but even then, I don't get how it's even a joke. Or if they have missed out do?

Do I not get it because I am a 'TERF' and am therefore a simple thing?

Also, my pet hate, misuse of the apostrophe on the end of TERFs. That is something I teach year 3 children.

0/10 from me I'm afraid.

Needmoresleep · 15/03/2019 16:29

How many terfs do you need to change a lightbulb? None surely. You get your husband to do it.

Just joking....

Whatisthisfuckery · 15/03/2019 16:40

How many TRAs does it take to change a light bulb?

None, silly. All those lady hormones make them far too weak and simple.

OVAgroundWOMBlingfree · 15/03/2019 16:41

Seems like the kind of idiot who thinks cunty women can’t change lightbulbs because our vaginal lubrication or periods might cause us to be electrocuted when we touch the bulb.

abuseofpowercomesasnosurprise · 15/03/2019 16:50

How many 'TERFS' does it take to change a lightbulb? One, plus a transbian shouting at them for being a 'tungsten fetishist' for screwing it and not them.

"Tungsten fetishist" GrinGrinabuse are you a Partridge fan perchance?

EcclesThePeacock · 15/03/2019 17:01

How many 'TERFS' does it take to change a lightbulb? One, but they wouldn't dream of changing a lightbulb which is actually working fine as it is.

abuseofpowercomesasnosurprise · 15/03/2019 17:02

S1naidSucks · 15/03/2019 17:03

well, as every tells everyone real facts, knows, you can change a lightbulb and it’s still a lightbulb, but changing sex. 😉

TheCountessofFitzdotterel · 15/03/2019 17:04

Eccles, but what if the lightbulb is on the wrong side of history?
