Rewire News Group-How to deal with 'Terfs' at Christmas.

[yourhairiswinterfire]

Anyone on twitter up for reporting this?

twitter.com/RewireNewsGroup/status/1330952166245273603 (Anyone not familiar with Twitter, you need to click the top tweet in the link to show the whole thread).

It's supposed to be totes hilares, encouraging people to attack women with food at Christmas. Apparently abusing women is 'comedic' as long as it's done with food.

You're not allowed to know what a woman is on Twitter, but an account with 71k followers is allowed to post shit like this. I don't care if it's 'only food', it's blatant disregard for women, that it's okay to treat them like shit as long as you disagree with them. They've obviously never heard of escalation.

Imagine the uproar if we suggested humiliating and degrading transpeople at Christmas in this way. We'd be literal murderers. I'm so fucking sick of the double standards.

Like—the gender binary isn’t real.... You can also talk about how gender-affirming care is necessary and lifesaving treatment, and trans people should be entitled to it the same way you’re entitled to your colonoscopy, Aunt Karen.

If gender isn't binary, why do some people need care to affirm them as the other gender?

Half of the reason gender ideology has got so entrenched is because of the successful threatening of women into silence. If an entitled brat individual takes this advice seriously and inadvertently starts a whole family debate about the threat to gay children's and women's rights it might not always work in said individual's favour. It is even possible they might learn something....

I read the thread title, on a rare click into FWR, and my first thought was "Is it with violence?" and lo, so it was.

Imagine my surprise.

Interesting choice of procedure for 'Aunt Karen' there as well.

The internalised misogyny from this woman is so sad

I have never read an article about dealing with difficult situations, family dinners with toxic relatives etc, that states that you should throw food at the others. This is surreal.

Oh haha, silly Karen with her bowel problems or potential cancer. Serves her right for getting old.

Och you can’t argue with people who write stupid stuff like this

Imagin3 writing that and thinking. Whoop whoop I am so clever. Look at me

Look at me

I can’t even imagine someone writing Something that pathetic for a school magazine.

The problem I have with this - and I suppose I will be banned for saying so - is not that I think the moderate line "Throwing turkey in anyone's face is wrong" - but that I think the radical line "Anyone who tells lies and denies the truth deserves the turkey in their face."

The TRAs also follow the radical line. The problem is, objectively, they are on the side of lies and me (and those who think like me) are on the side of truth.

Hence, at Thanksgiving or Christmas:
TRA (IN THE WRONG): Men can magically become women.
Me (IN THE RIGHT): No they can't.
ME (SMASHES TURKEY INTO TRA FACE), because it is meet and right and just, that right does harm unto wrong and truth does harm unto lies.

I shall now be upbraided - and banned - for not being "kind", while TRAs issue invitations to die in a fire and to choke on their girldick. Or I shall be upbraided for a double standard: I believe truth has the right to smash turkey in the face of lies, but that lies doesn't have the right to do vice versa. Because truth and lies are different.

Oh haha, silly Karen with her bowel problems or potential cancer. Serves her right for getting old.

I'm imagining the writer sitting there thinking 'what's the most undignified, uncomfortable, grossest medical procedure I can think of for Aunt Karen. Ah yes, colonoscopy! And it's related to shit as well, which hammers the point home about TERFs even more. I'm a fucking literary genius.'

I would - if I were aunts Karen - therefore make a bloody point of giving a blow by blow account of my colonoscopy to the author of this piece. If she is eating chocolate pudding at the time, bonus points.

A journalist has pointed out that it’s probably to generate traffic due to dwindling revenue. Let’s not give it any clicks!

If everyone is who they identify as, how come they won't let Trump identify as a second-term president? Asking for a friend.

But when I think about it a bit more deeply

It’s like cos she is using the word terf who are not human really so say what you want

And yes op. Imagine someone writing that about transgender people or black people

I saw the whole thread , so vile

The deep hate for women and the desire to be feted by men I guess or the wokey liberals

Imagine sitting down to write such hateful stuff about women

And pretending it’s funny

Excellent ratio though, on each and every tweet as well

Yep, she absolutely did think all of this.

It beggars belief how ageist, sexist and ablist these enthusiastic wee authoritarians are.

Isn’t the whole fucking point of Thanksgiving to sit down with people you don’t have anything in common with, and make peace for the duration? But why do that, when you could fantasise about smashing turkey in women’s faces because you don’t like their opinions.

Yes, it could easily backfire in spectacular fashion. And when they throw a Kevin the Teenager strop about it might be them who is asked to leave.

Weird account..I don't understand their strapline: "Own your relationship to sex, abortion, parenthood, and power" Is the account aimed at Women as long as they're not GC?

Anyway, reported.

I've had one. It was surprisingly fascinating to watch the progress of the camera.

My sister had one and said it was really interesting. Now side I’d like a blow by blow account over dinner but if take one for the team if the toddler was there.

"Reboot the Xmas when your dad hit your mom over the dinner being late with this new Terf take! Now you don't have to hate dad so much & you can both hate mom guilt free!"

The responses are wonderful. Nice ratio!

Have they changed the tweets around a bit to be slightly less pathetic and puerile?

I've reported the everlasting fuck out of this. And her. And anyone else I saw applauding this.
