God on Facebook

Does anyone else follow ‘God’ on Facebook? He/she/they seem to have jumped on the anti-JKR bandwagon. The writer of this article is twisting themselves in knots trying to explain why they’re offended, but there are plenty of people willing to leap in and add their little bit of abuse in the comments.
It’s disappointing as I usually enjoy whatever they have to share.

For those unaware, TERF stands for “trans-exclusionary radical feminist” and refers to people who appropriate 2nd wave feminist theory in service of transphobia, targeting trans women in particular. These “feminists” often team up with far-right and Evangelical Christian groups in order to deny the womanhood of trans women, using sexist stereotypes to claim that they are just men trying to break into women’s spaces to assault and abuse us.

😶oh dear!

BoredOfThisMansWorld · 01/02/2023 15:29

They always give themselves away with their projection.

What bit of that is untrue?
TERF does stand for that, and also far right platforms have given a voice to their "message' (for want of a better phrase!)
I've seen argued that women who aren't trans should just put up with being questioned /challenged if they look too butch, not feminine enough.
So what bit is oh dear?

Abhannmor · 01/02/2023 15:49

Oh dear . All of it is bollocks dear so bollocks to it all. I'll have to unfollow God now. But that still leaves his Mother.

All of it, pretty much.

Anyway, just confirms my opinion that if god exists he's a misogynistic patriarchal bastard, so coming out as an anti-woman activist is par for the course. Grin

It reminds me a bit of the parody psycho sex offender version of Mr Blobby taking a righteous stand against TERFs. 😁

To those requiring smelling salts over the idea of feminists (no need for quotation marks, the name gives a clue as to what the term means) believing that sex is a scientifically determined fact JuSt LiKe ThE fAr RiGhT dO, I always wonder how do you cope when people who say they believe in innate gendered souls also turn out to believe paedopilia is ok?

ClaphamSouth · 01/02/2023 16:43

Can't say I'm shocked by 'God' being depicted as an MRA. Entirely consistent messaging as far as I'm concerned.

Fruitflylady · 01/02/2023 17:00

I think God employs a 15 year-old intern, judging by the style of writing in the article. So misguidedly earnest yet so woolly.

Yes, those are actually women.

Using the words 'appropriate' and 'sexist stereotypes' without a hint of irony demonstrates a staggering lack of self awareness.

Second wave feminists were essentially gender abolitionists so no idea why 'God' thinks rad fems would embrace gender ideology. Presumably it's because 'God' knows fuck all about 2nd wave feminism.

Asserting that feminists are teaming up with right wingers and Christian fundamentalists doesn't make it true: agreement on a single issue does not mean that different groups share the same goals.

Biological reality denies men womanhood, it's got nothing to do with the opinion of feminists.

Really couldn't give a shit how someone identifies by if you are male you have no place in single sex spaces.

Just noticed God is complaining about people teaming up with Evangelical Christian groups Grin

Abhannmor · 02/02/2023 10:46

There's just no pleasing Him , @ClaphamSouth !

Actually I agree with Trump. I agree with him that Copernicus was right and the sun is the centre of the solar system. I must be a Nazi .

I'm a terven witch and agree with (i) Trump that water is wet, (ii) Hitler that dogs are awesome, (iii) Stalin that mustaches can be nice looking and (iv) Genghis Khan that horses are a good method of transportation.

I'm beyond all hope and will land in hell won't I?😥

Also, the "evidence" they provide was a tweet between her and another person where both were being sarcastic!!! the tweeter (sarcastically) agreed that "she should turn her life around" effectively and JK Rowling thanked them for their concern/care. The massive inability to read that and see it as "affection".

Or the stuff about how the anime "girl" in the gun meme is "full of agency" so that's nothing like the suffragette image, when the anime girl represents a man, pointing a gun at a woman.

Why have you chopped what I said in half just to say nothing about what I actually said and just to take the opportunity to tell me that women who aren't trans are actually women?
Bit bizarre

ErrolTheDragon · 02/02/2023 15:30

Bit bizarre

The full sentence was a bizarre and irrelevant interjection so reckon you're quits.

TERF more accurately stands for transwomen excluding radical feminist. Trans excluding is inaccurate as we include transmen due to them being women. If you insist on putting a space in the word transwoman then TERF would need to become TWETMIRF or TMITWERF

MoleAtTheCounter · 02/02/2023 16:01

The TERF is a Slur website has a whole section for examples of hate and threats directed at JKR terfisaslur.com/j-k-rowling/

On a lighter note I follow God on Twitter. My favourite post was last Fathers' Day - ANOTHER nail gun from Jesus this year, he just won't let it go.

Not really when it was relevant to what I was asking, which is which bit was untrue as I have seen that a fair few times.
Good to know where you're at though 👍

bellinisurge · 02/02/2023 16:23

So sweet the little TRAs thinking anyone who believes in biology is a fascist.

Circumferences · 02/02/2023 16:27

Calling people "Terf" is so passé. No wonder the church is struggling so.

BordoisAgain · 02/02/2023 16:30

Oh, look who's decided to come finger wagging again 🙄
