(Excerpts)

TERF’s — Trans Exclusive Regressive Fascists — are tools of the far right/alt-right establishment of America and the UK. They are bigots who promote transphobia as a political stance. They exist as agent provocateurs tasked with preventing the LGBTQ community from gelling into a cohesive political force that can oppose fascism. They claim to be “lesbians” and “feminists” while functioning as proxies for the white male oligarchs that seek to bury any and all queerness and to trap women in servitude.
...
You make a group that does everything the TERF group does, but without the unnecessary hate. Yet the TERF group finds a way to persist. Now what?
A gradual strategy that can succeed is infiltration and replacement. Entryism is a century old non-violent tactic that works in any group that uses voting to determine leadership. Gather a group of like-minded allies, join the group, and then vote one another into key positions. Attract more via outreach and over time the group will be geared toward promoting social justice and human rights.
...
So what’s next after that? Direct action.
Direct action is where you go from targeting an institutional or organization to singling out the key leaders and propellants of hate. History shows that when singled out, many bigots will renege on their hateful ideas and begin to reform. And if they don’t, then their communities can expel them.
TERF’s, like all Nazis, have no right to a peaceful existence or steady employment. They have declared their support of fascism and have therefore declared their intent to directly harm the trans community wherever they’re found. They threaten the safety and dignity of others and therefore deserve none themselves until they choose to be human once more.
The usual caveats to the direct action approach apply. Be careful of misidentifying people. Attacking bystanders just makes TERF’s look sympathetic. Don’t do anything you can’t handle the consequences of.
...
Control access to safe spaces
...
Doxxing is another effective tool
...
Property damage is another escalation up the chain of direct action
...
What about bodily harm against bigots? Is that a valid tactic? Yes, but with important considerations.
...
It’s important to avoid killing

I'll bet the guillotines have little rainbows stickered on them.

SunsetBeetch · 28/05/2020 10:33

I've reported it.

Couple more screenshots. This person worries me. I actually fear for any women who crosses their path in real life.

TheProdigalKittensReturn · 28/05/2020 10:36

I don't often say this about stuff on social media but in this case I think that person could do with being reported to the police. "If someone is in X group you can violate them any way you want" is a very alarming thing to say, and potentially an indication of criminal intent. If anyone here is local to them I'd suggest they pass those screenshots on to the local police.

(Won't do much good if they're in Portland, but at least it will be on record if the person does later attack someone.)

MoltenLasagne · 28/05/2020 10:49

"If someone is in X group you can violate them any way you want"

This is antifa rhetoric and it's been clear from day one that they were going to expand the definition of X group from literal Nazis to anyone they didn't like. They call themselves anti fascist but how is threatening groups you don't like with violence anything but fascism?

TheProdigalKittensReturn · 28/05/2020 10:53

Yep. This is why when everyone was having a laugh about "punch a Nazi" I was over here going, you realize that once you open that door anyone is potentially fair game, right?

BringbackLang · 28/05/2020 10:58

Any comment from the posters who accuse FWR of 'awful transphobia' yet? Have they condemned this wholeheartedly or is it just tumbleweeds?

Or is refusing to use pronouns still literal violence and far worse than threatening actual violence?

Ereshkigalangcleg · 28/05/2020 10:59

It seems to have gone rather quiet on the AIBU thread.

SunsetBeetch · 28/05/2020 11:01

There is conflicting info on where they live, Prodigal. Claiming Texas on Facebook, Canada elsewhere and another user said they are in Seattle.

SunsetBeetch · 28/05/2020 11:02

There's an Aibu thread on this?

Ereshkigalangcleg · 28/05/2020 11:03

No, people posted the article and I posted a link to this thread on the AIBU about GMB dropping their MN Q&A due to TRA pressure.

TheProdigalKittensReturn · 28/05/2020 11:05

Maybe a few people are having a "wait, this is what I've been supporting?" moment.

BringbackLang · 28/05/2020 11:05

It's the Mumsnet Bashing thread, Sunset. Accusations of terrible transphobia but when asked to provide actual evidence to back up their claims, strangely enough none was forthcoming.

SunsetBeetch · 28/05/2020 11:06

Ah, got it! Thank you.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 28/05/2020 11:10

More bashing of mumsnet http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/amiibeingunreasonable/3920239-More-bashing-of-mumsnet

Datun · 28/05/2020 11:43

One interesting comment was along the lines that no there isn't any transphobia they have actually seen, but they still think the women are probs transphobic.

PoundShopSherlock · 28/05/2020 12:08

I just saw a message from this piece of shit to a woman that said "I'm glad I made you afraid" and that made me feel like I've been far too scrupulous about sharing the information about their identity that they made incredibly obvious anyway.

This is a very long and boring article that "Laura" wrote defending "SweetBeans99" from an internet controversy that no one cares about archive.is/60oZg

This is a photo of SweetBeans99 juxtaposed with the image of "Laura" from "her" facebook account. Clearly the same person but facetuned to look female. See also the photo of SweetBeans in the archive above, I couldn't be bothered to juxtapose all three images together.

imgur.com/a/ZWTUDtV

SweetBeans99 is well known to a certain fruit farming community. I haven't read the thread but it has the real name for the benefit of anyone who is considering reporting them to the police. I am assuming they are located in Seattle because that's what it says on their Twitter account.

I like how they're claiming a "latinx" identity, have to say they pass for white a lot better than they pass for female.

SunsetBeetch · 28/05/2020 14:49

Is Laura on twitter? Was unable to find an account under her pen name.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 28/05/2020 14:54

This is a very long and boring article that "Laura" wrote defending "SweetBeans99" from an internet controversy that no one cares about

It seems pretty likely reading that, that the author is speaking about themselves! It's all "and the whole room applauded my bravery" but in the third person

SunsetBeetch · 28/05/2020 15:13

Ah ok,with you now Sherlock , sorry.

Weirder and weirder ...

Staffori · 28/05/2020 19:40

Laura Izaguy has now started a wordpress blog and started uploading the articles that were removed from Medium.
queeratxlaura.wordpress.com/

As Wordpress has banned certain GC feminist blogs that never advocated violence against anyone, it shouldn't be too difficult to get Izaguy's blog removed. I've reported it, feel free to do the same.

CaraDune · 28/05/2020 19:46

New website, same egregious misuse of apostrophes.

"trans women can't rape cis women because of the power differential, and we don't believe TERFs when they say they were raped anyway"

The power differential?

What power differential is that?

The one where I broke through the socialisation to be quiet and not make a fuss, and objected repeatedly, and he still went along his merry male-socialised way of assuming he knew better and shoving his dick in anyway?

Does it suddenly stop being rape because he later realised his dick was a sparkly genderspecial snowflake dick that needed to be covered in lace and glitter in order to be its true authentic self?

When I'd been socialised to shut up and take it, and it took everything I had to stand up and say no, and the fucker did it anyway - who exactly had the power in that scenario?

Pertella · 28/05/2020 22:03

All this is why we don't want any adult born with a penis in our spaces. As long as some adults with penises will rape, we don't want you in our spaces. Those of you who invite people to "violate [people you disagree with] any way you want" (a clear invitation to rape), declare that people you disagree with should not be believed when we are raped, and declare that it is impossible for some male people (who just happen to be you) to rape any female people, have declared all female people to be permissably rapeable by you and effectively threatened the ones who disagree with you with punitive rape. I don't want you in female spaces because I don't know which of you are the ones issuing the rape threats and which of you aren't. Those of you who have declared open season on us, I don't even want on the same planet as women. And when you screencap this for Twitter, board monitors, be honest and include the screenshots that prove my point. Include the quote from Tyro about her rape by her trans ex.

The power differential?

What power differential is that?

MRAs and incels have argued for years that women are the privileged in society. It was a small step from there to cis are privileged over trans, then to cis women are privileged over transwomen.
That is the power differential that they think should be obvious to everyone.
