Are we a cult?

I keep reading that sex realists, of which I am one, are a cult. Perhaps a genderist could be so kind as to explain what a cult is, and why we qualify. Sometimes one of us calls them a cult too. Who has a better case, hmmm?

No we're not a cult. We don't believe in weird and extreme things. That's you that is.

I’m a bit disappointed we haven’t narrowed down the cult dress code

that does feel like the most pressing matter arising from this thread

But also, where can we get the rabid pitchforks? They sound super intriguing.

Can we get family packs?

I shall quietly sit here and wait for MNHQ to delete my post as if I so much as mention the word cult or gender ideology being part of one I am deleted.

To answer you question no we are not a cult, just intelligent proponents of common sense and not fans of the emperors new clothes ideology.

GC cultists are not 100% women

GC cultists.

You can see the programmed techniques in plain view. Keep using these phrases, keep repeating them over and over, so they eventually become accepted terminology, and everyone starts using these expressions automatically, they trip off the tongue without thinking, then once that happens it will all become much more difficult to contradict, to argue against, and so will become true.

It took me a while to understand what gametal was. I kept reading it as gay metal. Clearly I am less capable.

I vote for no crocs (sorry Boily), no white, and no tassels (I have too many cats), but am open to a uniform Esperanza if it's black. Do we get free Tunnocks? That's the most important thing.

We definitely get pockets.

Well to be fair, that's been my motivation for calling the Alphabetties a cult, along with zombie stormtroopers, reality deniers, science rejecters and so many more.

'Trans' IDing males has been successful, that's the norm now, even MN doesn't delete you for using it nowadays.

I'm on it. Unlike Gemini, I actually know what a pitchfork looks like but these do look fairly rabid.

'Gender Identity Ideology' is made up Orwellian nonsense so some believers can be very cult like.
Understanding that there are 2 sexes and that humans cannot change sex is simple common sense/sound science and thus not a cult.

Walking around jingling all the time would play havoc with my tinnitus.

We once pulled up at our house after midnight, and parked up and himself got out and walked to the front door. The car was making a really, really weird noise after the engine had been turned off. I stood there trying to work out what it was and himself asked me what the diggidy dawg I was doing stood there in the middle of the road and I called out that the car was making a really weird noise.

It started getting louder and I was literally baffled. I then heard some talking and from the shadows, from the direction of the pub, appeared about 8 Morris Dancers all walking with their bells on and yes, I looked like a right twat as that indeed was the noise.

We still belly laugh about it.

I find "Sexist" works very well as a descriptive group label for TRAs and the like.

I actually genuinely hope that someday one of them will take exception and show me that their beliefs are not as sexist as they appear on the surface to be, but so far it is all disappointment.

I can't do tassels, because of the dog.

Tassels are not compulsory in my neighbourhood.

If you can't ask questions you're in a cult. All we do is ask questions, look for the truth, stand up for the truth. We have engaged in good faith with anyone willing to talk about their 'opposing views' and still know what a man is and what a woman is.

As the first poster said, it's DARVO.
Example of cult mentality:
Q: I'm not sure I totally buy into this idea. What about x and y fact?
A: Anyone who questions our message is an enemy and shall repent or be cast out. There is something inherently wrong with you if you cannot accept what we say without question. You must change the thing that's wrong with you. You are the problem.

"No, we're 51% of the human race"

You making a false statement, possibly intentionally in an effort to convince yourself.

Women are 51% of the human race.
GC cultists are not 100% of women.

The overwhelming majority of us do not have a problem with trans-women, do not slavishly idolise a deranged billionaire, and do not exclusively inhabit echo-chambers like this particular sub-forum in the, otherwise rational, MN fora.

A merest glance at the quality of some of the posts that react to anyone espousing pro-trans statements here is as illuminating as it is depressing (but then, given such posts are reactionary in every sense of the word, I'm not surprised).

Are you a cult? Depending on your definition, I'd say so; there are certainly strong cult-like aspects (such as the anti-TRA whataboutery that's going to follow this post), and there is certainly a tribalistic mindset that is vehemently and aggressively against anyone who steps outside the narrow view that pervades here in spades.

The claim you speak for, are representative of, or even acting in the interests of, all women as as laughable as it is untrue.
The rest of us don't agree with you. We don't even especially like you. And we are sure as hell unhappy that your particular brand of rabid pitchfork waving reflects very badly on real feminists and makes it much, much harder to get our views and opinions listened to.

"Real feminists".... 🤔 Are these the "feminists" who have forgotten that feminism is a political movement by females that centres the needs and concerns of those born female, NOT those born male? If so you can keep your faux feminism, because it betrays women with everything it says and does.

Reality is apparently a cult.

A cult without crocs. But with rabid pitchforks.

How does a pitchfork become rabid BTW? I assume it must be bitten by another rabid pitchfork and become infected.

Women are 51% of the human race.

Whilst its true that some women are not GC
Many men are.
The numbers supporting single sex spaces is something like 80% plus in the UK. Similar in the US.
Its hard to say what is going on in the EU because the EU's political body is pretty much up its own arse and we don't actually know what percentage they represent.

GC cultists

Maybe this should be included in the thread about how the trans lobby are trying to twist wording.

The overwhelming majority of us do not have a problem with trans-women,

Very few people do have a problem with trans women if they were just living their lives, its those that are trying to reduce women's rights that are the issue.

do not slavishly idolise a deranged billionaire,

Proof that you have never read what she said.

and do not exclusively inhabit echo-chambers like this particular sub-forum in the, otherwise rational, MN fora.

Of corse you inhibit echo chambers or you wouldn't put forward this drivel.

I believe rabid pitchfork is a vibrant red shade marketed by farrow and ball.

However, if pitchforks & flaming brands are being arranged, should I bring some ( vegan) marshmallows.

The original rabid pitchfork was bitten by a dog who had been bitten by a bat that had been bitten by a guy in a band.

There was a drive to try to inoculate all the pitchforks but there was a braying mob of them that refused the jab.

And now we are overrun with rabid pitchforks.

One little prick could have stopped all this.

Yeah, I had something really apropos to say here about your last sentence, but I'm tired of being deleted for every reason under the sun lately.

Rabid pitchfork waving?? Stop it now, that's silly
Who are the people wanting the government to supply TW with a bucket to poo in and deliver it weekly, to the ehrc offices? Pouring canisters of wee on themselves?
Pathetic
