experience with a women's outdoor club
Posted January 13, 2024 by Thistle in FeministEvents

Hi all!

I hesitate to name this organization but it's in the US and it has chapters across the country...but I don't want creeps viewing the site joining it. What is everyone's experience with clubs like this? I was disappointed when I went because I expected it to be free from trans-talk (or at least not positive talk lol) because of it's supposed focus, but the two elder ladies (one of who hosts the chapter I attended) both were talking to each other about this topic. The first one said "my niece told me she was nonbinary, so how do I refer to them now?" And the other one responded by saying "you can say ___. My adult child is trans and I say ___" At this point I can't remember the exact wording because I went one time only in the fall and I havent been back since. I wanted to meet down to earth women who don't believe this nonsense there, and maybe if lucky even meet a women to date. It's really hard to find compatible women to date in my very friendly TQ area. I'd also expect the group to be full of lesbian and bi women because the particular place I'm in has a rich history of women-loving-women. Anyway, I wasn't sure if this was a test since I was new, as I was the only other one with them and we were on a nature walk together. Also, I'm afraid of announcing my location but I hope to one day be able to meet some women from Ovarit out in the real world. Doxxing is just absolutely terrifying and since this site is viewable to anyone I don't know how to go about that.

I'd put money on her feigning ignorance. Honestly one of my favorite tactics with them.

I had a TIF ask me if I supported JK Rowling before. I played the whole "oh what did she say card?", let her explain what she think Rowling said, and then I pulled up a screenshot of Rowling's actual tweet.

Not all heros wear capes.

(Or... were you wearing a cape?)

An oversized hoodie, if that counts.

How did she react when she read the original tweet?

Lots of mumbling and then she claimed that JK Rowling could have said that trans-identifying males were women and left it at that. I told her that wasn't what JK was discussing, and she just kept repeating that line. Eventually I was like "okay have a nice day!" and left it at that.

This is a good tactic, it lets them talk themselves in circles with answers that they don't have.

If you don't do this, they'll give you a particular look that lets you know their brains have gone full screensaver mode. I hate it. It's like, a smirk that says "can you believe this", even if it's just the two of you in the room.

They’ve been groomed to moral superiority and all adapted the AGP smirk

That's exactly what she was doing. This is a really old post that was on here several months ago. I think I remember reading the original reddit thread and it was so, SO obvious she was playing dumb to make that creep fuck off. Lofuckingl . . .
