re: #96 Jayleia

(page removed since it deals with another user)

I hate to bring this up, because usually I love Gus and especially his ‘shops…but I have to point this one out, especially since it can directly affect me and my friends. This is not to accuse Gus of being one of these people, only to point out a potential problem to any unsuspecting websurfers.

Over in a comment Gus linked to a site called nametheproblem.

It would be unwise to consider that source remotely reliable.
Nametheproblem has its own problems

The nametheproblem site is especially vile since it specifically cites people whose sole noticeable “crime” against women (in the mind of Cathy Brennan) is to believe that transgender people deserve the same rights as cisgendered people…and then mixes their profiles in with men who murder and rape women and children.

A quick guide for in the wilds, whenever you see THIS line, or a variation: knowing that penis is male. , you are probably dealing with a particularly insidious type of moonbat called a Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminist, or TERF for Twitter.

That Wiki link is some really weird stuff. Notice how it comes from an entirely male POV and immediately, in the first sentence, attacks “radical feminism”. I suppose I’m a TERF, however they want to hate me, even though no, I’m not homophobic and don’t care how people express themselves sexually within the bounds of consent. No amount of imagining, if you were born with intact male sex organs, will make you anything else even if you can change how you look, even if you resort to radical surgery and hormones for the rest of your life.

I don’t say this out of hate, I say it because women have far too little for ourselves than to have men intrude upon us, upon our very gender, even going so far as to glamorize what they’re doing in a paean to how they think women should look—lots of cosmetics, fancy clothes, etc which are not what makes a female a woman. We women are far too diverse to categorize our own selves that way.

As far as being a “radical feminist”, I also rejected that as a second wave feminist because it was too exclusionary and wound up as hate-filled for people I loved—my own sons.
