@nik @tuxcrafting TERF instance, Extremist Feminists (the kind people love to make fun of), but as a bonus they also hate trans people

@Meeper @nik @tuxcrafting

- Out of 8,000+ users I've witnessed about 2 who genuinely hate trans people. There are a number of trans users on the site (transsexuals, mostly) who want more freedom to have the full conversation about gender.

- The discussion happening on Spinster right now is about porn being linked to sex trafficking, which is a horrible reason to hate it.

@alex @Meeper @nik >only 2
mate basically every user there that i had an interaction with hates trans people

@tuxcrafting @alex @Meeper @nik Yeah that’s not my experience with it. So many posts I saw were talking about “men invading womens spaces”. Nah, its a pretty terrible place.

However, I’m pleased that Alex runs the site (because its funny that a man runs the feminist site) and also that it contains them in a nice little box.

@shebang @Meeper @alex @nik it's like FSE, keeps crazies in a nice little blockable place so they don't metastase everywhere

> I've witnessed about 2 who genuinely hate trans people.

Never been a huge fan of as a whole but I've found some nice users from there more recently. A big problem I'd run into would be the user I try to engage with is sexist and hates men; as soon as I replied to their messages, they'd accuse me of "mansplaining" and block me lol...far more people on that instance hate men than hate trans people

But again, that's not everyone, just my initial experience. My experience with the users is a bit better now.

Trans women ARE men. But nobody hates trans people as much as their supporters tell them they do 🤷🏼‍♀️

Wanting protection for women’s rights isn’t hating trans identified people 🙄

I'm sure some do, but it's greatly exaggerated as far as its prevalence.

Nah their supporters literally say “everyone wants you dead” the whole movement relies on hyperbole and over exaggerating death rates. It’s that low.

@Ladyfat @Meeper @tuxcrafting @realcaseyrollins @alex @nik @shebang I don't care what some random people on Twitter think, I care about your toxic ideology. Other people's responses to it aren't relevant here. If your only defense is "look at how crazy some people who disagree with me are", you're not making a good argument.

Sweetie I’m not on twitter .

Why would “women are adult human females” be ‘toxic ideology’ to anybody other than science deniers? @mewmew @Meeper @tuxcrafting @realcaseyrollins @alex @nik @shebang

@Ladyfat @Meeper @tuxcrafting @realcaseyrollins @alex @nik @shebang no, because it's not accurate to how many people actually live.

it seems like the only reason to define it your way is because doing otherwise would hurt your feelings.

@mewmew @Meeper @tuxcrafting @alex @nik @shebang @Ladyfat Sorry facts hurt your feelings, bro.

Science doesn't care about how people live, it's just science. People try and ignore it if they want, but that doesn't change science.

@realcaseyrollins @Meeper @tuxcrafting @alex @nik @shebang @Ladyfat it's not about science or facts hurting my feelings. "science doesn't care about how people live" is just flat-out untrue. how people live is something that can be studied and understood. is depression unscientific? or anxiety? just because it's "about how people live"?

Yes but it doesn't change the definitions of male and female based solely on subjective feelings tho

@realcaseyrollins @Meeper @tuxcrafting @alex @nik @shebang @Ladyfat so? if you wanna define female or woman as "people born with a vagina" you can do that if you want, but that's not actually considering scientific evidence which shows otherwise. just unnecessarily pedantic.
@realcaseyrollins @Meeper @tuxcrafting @alex @nik @shebang @Ladyfat if someone identifies as female, I don't see a problem with that, regardless of what parts they have.
@realcaseyrollins @mewmew @Meeper @tuxcrafting @alex @nik @Ladyfat They are real, but their function isn't as understood as laypersons think. The main function is testicles. Breasts, genitals, bones (in early development, not after they solidify obviously), body shape, fat distribution, behaviour etc are all hormone controlled.
@realcaseyrollins @mewmew @Meeper @tuxcrafting @alex @nik @shebang @Ladyfat

y'all are just jealous that you don't body mod. i'm state of the fucking art medical technology. this TERF bullshit is retarded, everyone has the right to modify their body to suit them. your boomer-ass labels are irrelevant. the future is gay and weird and you can't stop it.

its super fucked how people are so dismissive trans people sometimes. using FACTS and LOGIC as a rhetorical tool instead of understanding anything. I think we have enough of a hold on the real politick in our strongholds though, so TERFs just need the containment instance until the memeplex brainwashes them with the rest. some fuckers are really resistive though.

at least they aren't transhumanists tho, those other fuckers are so close to seeing their potential. its sad when they get stuck thinking that gender mod is too weird. magnet fingers will not bring us closer to a synthetic ascension. immanentize the eschaton fam.

It's fine for you to think you are whatever you think you are. It's also ok for people to disagree, and even disrespect, your self-assessment. Just like you're free to disrespect them back. It's all good. Just let's not start hitting each other IRL and other such retarded shit.
@nerdman @xj9 @Ladyfat @Meeper @alex @mewmew @nik @realcaseyrollins @tuxcrafting

I largely agree with the sentiment.

But I can also be self-serving as the rest of humanity. We all concern ourselves *mostly* with the things we identify with. In my case I identify primarily as an "Angry Libertarian", "Militant Linux Zealot" and "Transsexual". So I argue mostly in those areas. In the case of being transsexual, a concern of mine is the rate of suicide and depression is extremely high. The single biggest factor in this is how transsexuals are treated -- the more accepted they are by the people around them the lower the rates of suicide and depression.

A lot of people just don't have the thick skin to weather it.
@shebang @Ladyfat @Meeper @alex @mewmew @nik @realcaseyrollins @tuxcrafting @xj9

And so we have these hellthreads where I like to come in and say, "It's ok guys, let's chill." Because really, it's ok, we can chill.

Let's just agree that adults of any and all genders stay away from nude children after the children can take care of putting on clothes, and we're good.
