Im asking so I understand what upset you.

I've already pointed out that you post TERFy shit because you have a history of posting TERF talking points - something you've already done a couple of posts further up on this page, and the biotruths shit you posted in the TERF thread. I've also told you knock it off with the sealioning, and if you're unable to heed warnings, on your head may it be.

Also, any even slight google should tell you that TERF is not an insult, but is actually coined by the people who wanted to be known as that. Personally, I'm a fan of the term FART (Feminism Appropriating Reactionary Transphobe), which is far more enjoyable and accurate, but I do tend to prefer letting people choose their own label.

Claiming TERF as an insult is a form of faux-moral outrage about how mean the other people are being when you're *just* *asking* *questions* - oh so hurtful, so much for the tolerant left! I mean, I'm assuming you wouldn't know anything about such tactics, given you are *genuinely* an innocent naif who is just asking questions. So, rest assured, referring to you as a TERF is not the place where people are insulting you.

Actually, I'd say that TERF, like Woke (obviously, not in content) and various other labels, is typically used as a badge of pride for some, and an insult for others.

I'd also suggest that it simply doesn't mean what it's acronym suggests it means. Plenty of TERFs are barely feminist, let alone radically so - so yes, FART is a much better acronym for those.

On the other hand, FARTs get really angry when they're called TERFs.

It also consumes them and they get big-time brainworm infections as well.

Surely that's the same hand - another bonus

The difference is that no-one called themselves "Woke" (or "Politically Correct") as a compliment - they started off as terms poking fun before being weaponised by the right. I don't believe anyone uses them as an unironic badge of pride.

TERFs named themselves. Plus, it's not used as an insult in terms of it meaning something else or something untrue to the wielder. It means exactly the same to me as it does to a TERF - they discriminate against a minority because they think they're awful and don't want them to exist - we both are calling the same thing the same thing, the difference is that I think that it's reprehensible and they think it's fine.

A] I'm pretty sure it was the other way around with woke - being a self-designation before being an attack weapon.
B] You're absolutely wrong about anyone using it as an unironic badge of pride. I certainly do, and have for a few years, and I know plenty of others who self-identify as "woke" it literally means "Awake to the plight of others"

Huh. I stand corrected.

Awwwee cashead... quit flirting with me... its embarrassing.

Is this your attempt at deflecting a question about you voting for a fascist?

Also, letting you know now as a courtesy, since you have a history of posting TERFy shit, that will no longer be tolerated.

You derailed this thread. You don't deserve to be a mod. You should have had this out with Coco via PMs.

cashead... Please be more specific... who is a fascist, and what is TERFy?... slang of some sort? Im not hip with the kids apparently. Would you please explain?

Do you not have access to Google? Let's try not sealioning, because I assure you, if you intend to fuck around, you will find out.

What's this sealioning? Please educate us o wise one.

I mean I googled it of course, but I think you're not using the term correctly.

Pretty sure Coco wasn't sealioning, she just wanted to know why you randomly started attacking her.

Follow your own advice and take it to PMs, brave defender.

I'm just shocked that Hammy made you a mod. I can't understand the logic. Maybe the cost of running this place is getting too much. He must want to reduce the traffic.

Blimey. I hadn't realized this shit had kicked off.

I think that was the first ban Ive ever had here! Somehow a thread about terrible world news coverage turned in to a thread about trans terfy sealion farts or something. The mind boggles.

Absolutely not aimed at anyone - but this seems the best thread for it.

I saw that - a very excellent rant (that took the interviewer completely by surprise).

Excellent. I hope this starts a trend.

Accidentally clicked on this thread and oh wow I wasn't ready for that first page or so. What the fuck did I just read? Incredible stuff.

Take the L and move on with your life like the rest of us have. It was also long overdue based on past behaviour. You want to whinge about it? Take it to PMs.

Me too. But don't talk about it public, mods won't like that, do it all in private messages where no one else can see!

It's funny how the two who have a history of posting shit endorsing a massive curtailing of the right of a vulnerable group to exist in public seem to apparently be the two biggest victims of persecution in existence. Fucking get over it.

This is surreal.

Ive never once said trans people should not exist, in public or in private... ever. I do not believe that. I would love for you, cashead, to show me where I have said trans people shouldnt exist. You have no idea what I think about it and have never bothered to ask... you assume. Im asking you kindly to stop with the libel. Thank you.
