You're viewing part of a thread.
I'm not mad. I haven't called you any childish names, or did anything else that would indicate anger. That would be you and you alone, and unless you go and start editing your posts anyone can clearly see that.
I'm gonna be real, looking through your account, you seem like a bioessentialist. Potentially a terf, though one that hides it well.
Some of the things you've said are rooted in bioessentialism and come off as very backhanded which I'm assuming set off the other commenter's alarm bells. Quit the act or educate yourself from a trans positive feminist angle, whichever fits your role better.
for anyone that happens to read this and feels lost, here is a good place to start with what bioessentialism is and why it's linked to terfs.
I think they're hiding it quite poorly lmao
I have nothing against trans people, I've said nothing against trans people. I didn't know of this term "bioessentialism," but thanks to you, I've just looked it up. It does not describe my views. I am 100% aware of the concept of people being genetically one way while having a different gender. There is nothing wrong with this at all. I have never said anything remotely like that.
This other commenter is not serious. They are pretending to be trans in order to make them look bad. I don't know why they are so hateful, but at this point, there really is no other explanation. There is no reason they would be so awful to someone trying to learn.
booo
eat shit
edit:
I didn’t know of this term “bioessentialism,” but thanks to you, I’ve just looked it up.
yeah i sure fucking hope you did, i linked an article.
The article didn't show up. I appreciate you introducing me to a new term. The whole point of me being here is to learn.
lmao "new term" right okay so you have somehow encountered the word "genetic men" and all these terf ass arguments and points, but you have never heard of a terf or of bioessentialism.
This is what I think happened. Some assholes somehow convinced you that anyone who isn't already super knowledgeable about this stuff has to be evil with deep secret motives. Now, when anyone asks questions or doesn't know certain things, you immediately go into psycho vicious attack mode. This only serves to benefit the asshole. It makes you come across as an absolute asshole who hates anyone who tries to learn. They tricked you. If you want to beat them, then just be kind and quit assuming everyone is out to get you.
It's pattern recognition as a survival strategy.
You're talking to someone part of a vulnerable and marginalized minority group, they're going to be on edge because of so many people that treat us like shit or literally want us dead.
Wanna know how to make sure trans people don't attack you when you (assuming in good faith) "just ask questions?" Don't be argumentative when they tell you something contrary to your preexisting beliefs.
I'm sorry that people have been so very bad to them. I know it sucks. I can't imagine what it is like. I can't relate to what someone must have gone through to make them so angry about questions and common expressions. It must be awful. I feel like it would require an absolute expert to be able to navigate this minefield of potential triggers, and I highly doubt that the average person will be able to do it any time soon, if ever. This isn't just "be kind" and everything will be alright. This is "if you don't have memorized a whole bunch of stuff or if you are new to it, then you will be shouted down and called a bunch of names and told what a bigot you are".
Nobody can be expected to immediately be at that point. This is a perfect recipe for a self-fulfilling prophecy of misunderstandings and ongoing hate. The people who are winning from all this are the people who want there to be needless fights. It's not my place to speak to how traumatized people should behave, so I won't do that. All I can say is that most people I know would much rather avoid conversations that have such a high chance of being so accidentally aggressive and as a result this wall isn't going to come down any time soon.
just gonna repeat this because it seems like you didn't see it

Being unable to contradict, or debate, or dig deeper is no way to deal with an equal human. That is awkward, and unnatural, it is walking on egg shells. Can it really be that there is an entire group of people that don't want to be seen as equals and want everyone to always treat them with kid gloves? I highly, highly doubt it. The vast majority of them must want to just be seen as normal, equal peers. The solution can't be to simply right off a whole group of people as the ones that you can't be relaxed and comfortable around and just speak your mind.
cool! want to avoid these conversations? stop talking about trans people!!!
I refuse to abandon a whole group of people. I want a world where all types of people can live in harmony and peace and can all benefit from our incredible variety as a species.
I know this is exhausting and time-consuming, but I have learned so much from this, and I don't regret a fraction of a second of it. The most I can do is hope that eventually you look back on our discussion someday in a positive light, even if right now it doesn't seem possible.
it's not hard to spot wild terfs asking troll questions and bringing up terf talking points!!!
If you are being serious right now, then it absolutely is difficult. You taught me terf. I never know about them before I met you. I have no talking points. I'm a random curious person with no affiliations, I've never voted, I've never been a part of any group that has anything to do with trans people.
so weird how you happened upon the same terms and arguments terfs use!!! just a random person who accuses everyone who disagrees with them of being a fake account or fake trans personnnnnn just a random person asking silly questions tee hee
Yes. Absolutely, positively, seriously, you have apparently been tramatized and tricked into thinking that anyone who doesn't know as much about this stuff as you do must be an evil demon sent to terrorize you. That isn't the case. I'm not them. I'm not. I'm absolutely not. I'm a random person with a good heart. A random person with enough care in my heart that abandoned cheese, chicken, non-vegan detergent, and everything else that has a chance of coming from a tortured animal because I can't stand the though of an animal being miserable on my account. I've done this despite holding the belief that I would be healthier if I continued to risk abusing animals. I tell you all this to explain that I care. I am being completely honest when I tell you that you have been somehow masterfully tricked into seeing average good people as if they are out to get you. I genuinely, 100% want you to be happy.
Thanks, I see the article now. It must have been part of the edit, so I missed it before. I appreciate you taking the time to make the link.
boooo terf booooo
TERF isn't name calling, it's a description of your beliefs. the fact that you see it as such shows me you are one, terfs are the only ppl who refer to "terf" as a slur
No, it is a description of the beliefs that you seem to think every cis person has to have. This is because you seem to want to lump all cis people(which you repeatedly call for the demise of - to the point of mods needing to repeatedly removing your bigotted comments) into this category. Or at least the BS persona you are pretending to be "believes".
just assholes like you who spam trans news with your idiocy
This sums it up exactly. Anyone who asks questions and tries to learn is your direct enemy. That is what you stand for. You try to stop education and awareness. Whether you know it or not, I can't tell, but it is what it is. You attack inquisitive minds by trying to make them feel like questions mean bigotry. This is horrendous behavior.
trans ppl know which questions are real questions and which questions are rhetoric devices by assholes like you
Alright, I can see you are just continuing on. I tried. You need to look deep inside yourself and decide if you really want to keep up this strange charade.
you have nothing to say to that one huh. you know it's true.
Everything you know about the trans community you have learned through a lens of hate and bigotry against them. Maybe if you want to role-play a trans person badly, then there might be something there that you are not admitting to yourself. If you change one thing about yourself and choose love above all else, then you will be much better off.
There is nothing "wrong" with trans people. There is no reason for you to put so much effort into your hateful mindset. They are people just like anyone else. Just because they are different from you doesn't mean you need to spend your time trying to destroy them. Quite frankly, you will fail. You are one person on a hateful rampage. You are too weak to destroy a whole group of people. I don't know what religion or what is behind your blind hate, but I assure you that it is not real.
are you hard yet? how is the debate fetish going
So I blocked the person in the other thread who going all skinner meme about being transphobic.
I've blocked like them and some nutter from hexbear that called me a sock puppet and fash.
Given the context and missing posts is it still this person going off on transphobic screeds and then claiming they're the real victim when trans people tell them they should read a book?
I literally never heard of this term until you started blasting it over and over. I had no idea. I looked them up because you kept calling me them so much. If you are not intentionally trying to get them exposure, then you are sorely missing your mark. Thanks to YOU, I am aware of them. 100% die to you. That's the effect you are having. It is absurd to act like I'm one of them.
If you are not extremely anti-trans then you have gotten so twisted up in a truly remarkable way. I highly highly doubt that.
the other poster was right this is a fetish for you terf
Most likely one of your other accounts.
However, in the off chance that you are genuine and just misguided, here is the explanation of the whole genetic male/female thing that you may be misunderstanding. Genetic sex is real, but it is not the same thing as gender. Someone can be a genetic "male" but have the gender "woman". This is an example of a "transgender" person. I know I'm probably just falling into your trap again, but in the off chance that you are genuinely interested and just a bit confused, this is what the situation is. I hope it helps.
lmao the psychosis continues
