Homophobic transwoman launches anti-gay campaign

Horrific story. A Moroccan trans 'beauty influencer' launched a campaign against homosexuals, encouraging people to out them by infiltrating gay dating sites.

Homosexuality is illegal in Morocco. Many of the campaign's victims have been evicted, blackmailed and physically attacked. Others have say they now fear for their lives. Two suicides have been reported.

Horrific, indeed. What is wrong with people?

Thinkingabout1t · 27/04/2020 19:37

I've read the abuse transactivists aim at the LGB Alliance. Even some of the candidates for the Labour Party leadership were calling it a hate group.

But this is a whole new level of hostility. As if lesbians and gays don't have enough problems in places like Morocco anyway. I just hope the misogynist and homophobic tide turns before this starts happening over here.

Looks like they don't just want to pee then.

The BBC covered this bit didn't seek comment from Moussa (I'm not using preferred surnames for a person who does this).

Has Stonewall commented yet? Tumbleweed?

ScrimpshawTheSecond · 27/04/2020 20:39

I saw Pink News reported on this.

I saw Pink News reported on this.

I refuse to click on Penis News. How did they report it?

ScrimpshawTheSecond · 27/04/2020 21:25

Pink News headline is: 'Gay men in Morocco living in terror after trans influencer urged her followers to use dating apps to hunt them'

The article is highly critical of the 'influencer's actions, has lots of detail and translated screenshots of horrible threats gay men have apparently received in the aftermath.

Article ends: 'the damage and violence caused by her videos continues.

“She basically announced a war on gay people,” Nassim says. “We’re really scared and she has ruined the image of the queer community forever.”

The 19-year-old gay man, who had to remain anonymous for safety reasons, said: “This means a total loss of our underground queer culture...”'

Sorry, I should know how to archive the article so you can read it without clicks, but I can't remember how to do it ...

You can use this link ScrimpshawTheSecond:

archive.fo/

I'd do it myself but if I can avoid it I don't click on Penis News links. I cannot support their anti-woman stances.

That's really sad,those poor men. I looked at the Pink News report on it Skrim I was surprised by it, but how does anyone dress up men commiting suicide in an Islam County because they were outed by a transwoman?
In the article they said "who is mainly known as a beauty influencer " Not sure why but I clenched my teeth reading that.
They can condemn a transwoman being homophobic in Turkey but they won't condemn a Transwoman in the UK saying lesbians are transphobic if they wont date transwomen?Will the penny ever drop?Or do they just ignore it?

Test

Oncewasblueandyellowtwo · 27/04/2020 21:49

That works for me,people have already archived I think? Itgave an option for 3 of the same articles and 3 different dates.

ScrimpshawTheSecond · 27/04/2020 21:54

Thanks, nauticant, and yes, Once, that seems to work fine.

DickKerrLadies · 27/04/2020 22:00

Isn't there normally a comments section on PN articles? Or is it because of private browsing?

Oncewasblueandyellowtwo · 27/04/2020 22:12

Heres another version of the same article.

Oncewasblueandyellowtwo · 27/04/2020 22:18

The first link is from April 18th: "Gay men in Morocco living in terror after trans influencer urged her followers to use dating apps to hunt them and out them"

Second link is from April 27th."A gay man has tragically died by suicide after being hunted down and outed thanks to a trans influencer"

Hmmm, what is the difference between these two scenarios? Is it that the Moroccan transwoman is targeting gay men, whereas the stunning and brave transwomen celebrated by Prick News go after women? It’s not cognitive dissonance so much as blatant misogyny.

Gingerkittykat · 27/04/2020 22:23

I'm assuming this person now identifies as a straight woman but in reality is a gay man.

I feel you have answered your question.

Gingerkittykat
I'd imagine so.

To all the Joss' and Aidans,all thoses men who like to monitor this board.I'd imagine you would say this is a false equivalence or that it's just one trans person.
No it is not. The two examples
A transwoman outing gay men in Morocco so that they will be punished.Social shaming ,job losses,being alienated from friends and family...

Any man calling lesbians terfs so that they will be puninished.Social shaming,job losses,being alienated from friends and family...
All because of their same sex attraction.

Babdoc · 28/04/2020 08:32

This screams “ gay and in denial”, doesn’t it? Self loathing projected onto innocent others, who will now suffer the consequences of this damaged individual’s personal problems.

Thinkingabout1t · 28/04/2020 09:10

Has Stonewall commented yet?
I couldn't find a Stonewall comment, OhHoly. Seems the T now outweighs all the LGB put together.

And yet their devoted readers never seem to pick that up, GCAc, or at least they never admit it. I suppose it just doesn't matter to them.

No, because they're clinging on to that penny like it's a life preserver. If they let it drop they might have to admit to the role they've played in the persecution of women in general, and of lesbians in particular, and from there the next question is how many gay kids have been pushed down a path that ends in dramatically increased cancer risk and no ability to ever have an orgasm or a healthy, honest relationship again.

Also, if this person is a "beauty influencer" (will keep my opinions about that to myself, because the monitors are ever vigilant) that brings up something that I'm curious about. Why are so many young women falling all over themselves to worship individuals like this? Obviously most won't be as vicious as this person, but the general pattern of a certain subsection of young women apparently being eager to have a male person tell them what to do specifically in relation to how to best present oneself as an attractive woman is there as a trend. It's confused me ever since Jeffree Star (sp? probably, dunno how he writes his name) became a thing. The scene that spawned Jeffree is dead but his career isn't. Why? What's going on with the young women who follow men like that, psychologically.speaking?
