Feminism: Sex and gender discussions

Not having sex with someone because they don't have the right genitals is transphobic. No prizes for guessing who's claiming this

RM is busy trying to justify their support for a particularly unpleasant tweet yesterday. For those of you who are blocked, I'll add some grabs.

Hey Buzz Smile

I read that twitter thread too, and that particular exchange confused me.
a) because RMcK uses ‘her’ to mean males and females interchangeably so that statement is hard to parse
b) RMcK using cotton ceiling which has a negative rapey vibe in a thread about how not giving someone sex is transphobic ie doubling down seemed problematic, so I assumed I misunderstood RMcKs point.

If you or PKR can help explain, that’d be great Brew

Ereshkigal · 02/10/2019 10:38

Shorter Rachel's new friend - "Shut up about the cotton ceiling, you idiot! Just when we'd almost managed to convince the Woke Youth that it was something the evil witches made up..."

I honestly don't think McKinnon particularly cares about The Cause. Just a malignant narcissist.

Ereshkigal · 02/10/2019 10:39

I think we should all be encouraging McKinnon to keep talking. Loudly.

Oh yes. I for one can't get enough.

TheProdigalKittensReturn · 02/10/2019 10:40

I'm still raising my eyebrows at the "if a girl has a funny looking vagina" part, for the following reasons.

  1. Rachel is an adult and should not be looking at the vaginas of girls, who are female children
  2. The vagina is the bit on the inside. Does Rachel commonly whip out a speculum during sexual encounters?
  3. What's a funny looking vagina, by which I assume Rachel means vulva?
  4. Is Rachel trying to suggest that, say, having longer than average inner labia or, I dunno, assymetry is funny looking for a vagina/vulva in the same way having a penis is?
  5. Because if so I'm starting to wonder if Rachel is an alien and, being new to our planet, unfamiliar with our social and sexual norms and expectations.

As for RMcKs thread in general, RMcK was trying to be smart when RMcK used the term “genital preferences” (coined by TRAs?) because RMcK knows that “sexuality” (what the thread is about) would cause problems.

RMcK was probably talking to uppity women in his thread, and forgot RMcKs main audience was also listening.

No-one can help or unlearn their sexuality, and as RMcK found out, RMcK wasn’t smart enough because RMcKs LGB followers have probably heard all their lives that if they just ‘tried’ they’d be ‘normal’ so are very sensitive to the sub-message RMcK was making.

Now of course RMcK is just blocking their own followers. Brilliant debate tactic.

Girls "If you or PKR can help explain, that’d be great"

I don't think there is enough logic in the world to unpack McKinnon's words. I tend to just go with occam's razor and it usually turns out right.

BuzzShitbagBobbly · 02/10/2019 10:55

It's up there with that one who just replied with "sod off" to anyone who disagreed.

Debating societies up and down the land are issuing speaking invites without delay! Grin

TheProdigalKittensReturn · 02/10/2019 10:59

The only explanation I have is "narcissism is a hell of a drug", honestly.

That was awesome ! 🤣🤣🤣

ErrolTheDragon · 02/10/2019 11:07

I know it was meant as an aside, and I don't want to derail but re the tweets in this post:
As an aside cos it’s not worth a thread but it is worth a lol and this thread is commenting on Twitter info...

I don't think it is a lol, it may be the context in which MNHQ is making moderating decisions which feminists are finding biased. Of course, the depiction in those tweets is deceitful, people are banned for repeatedly breaking talk guidelines (often the 'normal' ones). There are trans posters who contribute positively here from time to time but by and large the sensible ones understand that this board is for 'feminism and women's rights'.

Pretty much

TheChampagneGalop · 02/10/2019 12:25

Have you noticed RMcK's cutesy anime Pokemon avatar on twitter? Yet another anime avatar. And no RMcK using it won't make you seem less like an adult rapey male tweeter.

RoyalCorgi · 02/10/2019 12:56

I realise this was several pages back, but can I just say that the exchange between Dr Rapey and Dr Haddock has made my day? It's absolutely hilarious, both for Rapey calling Haddock a transphobe, and for the utterly fawning respect with which Haddock treats Rapey, compared to the way he talks to women.

AryaStarkWolf · 02/10/2019 12:58

and for the utterly fawning respect with which Haddock treats Rapey

Proof that he doesn't see transwomen as women

Nuttyfellalovesnutella · 02/10/2019 13:03

Only a bloke would think this.

EmpressLesbianInChair · 02/10/2019 13:03

Proof that he doesn't see transwomen as women

Yep. Just like Owen Jones. This is how we know they both see TWs as men.

Getting into an argument about whether cancer surgery is more important than reassignment surgery unfortunately.

BuzzShitbagBobbly · 02/10/2019 13:24

Well, well well, if it isn't the consquences of my actions...

Harrop's done with Mckinnon.
Then there's another male person going off on an incoherent rant about things, contradicting themselves at each step. But even they seem to be done with McKinnon too. And then all the wokiest of woke are confusedly trying to apologise for something they are not even sure they've done or thought and promising to do better.

Bring the petards, for they need hoisting!

Titania McGrath, the parody twitter character, invented by Andrew Doyle to expose the sheer madness of woke culture.
Named Titania after the "Queen of the fairies", because the people who promote the hyper inclusive culture are fantasists - off with the fairies.

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 02/10/2019 13:37

@whatsthecomingoverthehill is that the old argument or a new one? I think buck was wading in on the side of common sense and decency? I did see their comment and thought one sentence was a bit iffy but that the !!! was meant to be sarcastic.

whatsthecomingoverthehill · 02/10/2019 13:46

LordProf, that's what I assumed, but reading the follow up comments I don't think Buck was being sarcastic.

TheProdigalKittensReturn · 02/10/2019 13:46

"You're allowed to have preferences, just be aware that if your preference is not to fuck trans people that makes you a terrible person"

And then a bunch of other idiots all "you go hun, don't feel bad when people inevitably call you rapey".

I mean, one way to avoid that would be to stop trying to guilt trip people about not wanting sex with you? Just a suggestion.

Of yp

RoyalCorgi · 02/10/2019 13:51

Someone has put this very reasonable question to Dr Haddock:

'So in the spirit of “finding common ground” will you now be apologising to all the lesbians you called “TERFS” for the same “hate crime” you now stand accused of?'

Strangely, Dr H hasn't answered. Is it true that Dr Rapey and friends are now calling Haddock a TERF? I do hope so.
