Just to keep a running translation of the very special linguistic spaghetti.

I'll start with today's gem:

'Trans-hostile feminism' = women who say no to men.

OP posts:
nilsmousehammer · 16/05/2023 13:09

And today's other gem:

"if you aren't triggering the Terfs you're not trying hard enough!'

=

If women are not expressing distress and how you are trampling their rights under you, then you're not oppressing them sufficiently.

I hope this machine has got a reliable cooling mechanism, I can see the risk of severe overheating, lol.

Thelnebriati · 16/05/2023 14:40

How about 'inclusive rugby'.

Waitwhat23 · 16/05/2023 15:02

'It's all very complicated'. Translation : it's really not but no-one is buying the 'sex is a spectrum' thing anymore and so unspecified waffling will be used to avoid answering direct questions.

"It's a very nuanced argument."

You wouldn't understand my point it goes to another school so don't worry your pretty little head about it.

ILoveToSquanderPromise · 16/05/2023 15:18

And another gem from today

I'm willing to bet that I understand it and what it entails far better than you.

crunchermuncher · 16/05/2023 15:28

Be kind = stop making a fuss about your rights/ existence in law being eroded

HereForTheFreeLunch · 16/05/2023 15:35

Ah. I always translate Be kind as "Get yourself under the bus now".
Team TRA shouldn't even have the bother of throwing you under the bus.

nilsmousehammer · 16/05/2023 16:22

Or even more bluntly, 'be kind' often seems to mean 'do as I tell you'.

Thelnebriati · 16/05/2023 14:40

Ah! That would be 'inclusive' which run through the translator means:

male centric/dick pandery
female exclusionary, particularly excluding females from vulnerable and disadvantaged groups

and: ensuring wider male choice and self expression at the expense of female access to anything at all.

and usually is intended to mean 'mixed sex based on the above three elements.

Also see: Manipulative use of words intended to suck in the innocently gullible and trusting and gain own way.

Fab, I've been looking for one of these for ages.

How does it work, we just feed them in ... here?

So: nonbinary people are valid

And it <ghrha;ra;rhrhrhrhrhrhghghggh> ... processes it like so.

And <ppphhching!>

Spits it out - here! Fantastic.

<squints>

We are all special in our own special way

It’s only…….. [fill in encroachment on women’s spaces here]

Stop getting in the way of the crowbar I’m using to pry open your right to female only spaces.

I'm fairly sure this one will be cake uploaded rather than with the FTB enabled though. With weetabix error obvs.

You want version 2.0, nils. It comes preloaded with a genderwang filter and a much improved dewaffler.

You cynic! I'm going for

"It's all very complicated"...because I have backed myself into a corner by claiming that the difference between men and women is mental not physical, so now I have to keep finding non-sex explanations for all the obviously sex-based differences that keep popping up.

Datun · 16/05/2023 23:42

You've genocided me.

Means

A) I'm a stranger to grammar and

B) You've said out loud humans cant change sex.

And similarly ‘ok, try explaining it to me, I’m listening and I’m used to figuring out ‘complicated’’

😂😂😂 Wizzard!

My favourites are:

  1. Brain scans show female areas…waffle, waffle…
  2. Hormone wash in the womb…waffle some more…
Translation - I’m trying to sound scientific but, really, I’ve got nothing 🤷‍♀️

Clownfish! Intersex!

Means: this person has no idea about biology. Also, being called "intersex" is a slur, b*h. The correct term is, "differences is sexual development" and you can still be male or female with these differences.
