QuestionSeeking in-person community in Seattle
Hello,
I made an account on Ovarit right after /r/gendercritical and /r/truelesbians were banned off reddit (RIP). Back then, I came here to Ovarit to ask if there was a GC group in Seattle that met in real life. I'd only ever made that one post, and the mods here banned me immediately without any explanation, and no mod would respond to me. Because my first time was not successful, I'm not sure if asking this question is allowed here, but I am trying again.
I know this might seem suspicious because my account is less than an hour old. I got an invite code from a user on Reddit who found me after I posted in the /r/seattlewa subreddit asking if anyone was a gender critical lesbian in the area. I deleted the post, but that's here: https://www.reddit.com/r/SeattleWA/comments/1b6i86b/gender_critical_gay_women_in_the_seattle_area/
So, I am asking again: I am wondering if any of you happen to be gender critical lesbians located in the Seattle area. Or, is there an active GC group that meets here in real life? I desperately need to take this off the internet and have a real community of people.
Do any of you know of active GC organizations in the seattle area?
I recently took a trip to the UK, went to the LGB alliance conference, and met a bunch of amazing terfs and it made me realize how badly I want the same thing in my life here in the states.
Don’t know who this dude is but…lots of BS in the comments saying it’s a joke, “ironic misogyny”, that people don’t understand nuance etc. You know, standard male behaviour, hiding behind “jokes bruh” when your misogynistic bullshit fails to garner you with the praise and adulation you expected.
I just find it depressing as fuck that people are defending him/this comment/the whole notion of “ironic misogyny”
Weird, where's the "ironic" racism, or classism, or even transphobia? If it's all in good fun and they don't really mean it, brocialists should have no trouble saying this about any other marginalized group.
I watched his "debate" with King critical. Vaush is a disgusting, obnoxious, woman hating man
I have not seen that.
I'm just going to link it here so i can easily listen to it later while i clean https://youtu.be/mMxptYp4dnQ
Edit: 10 minutes in and I came to the conclusion he's an annoying arrogant ignorant misogynist lol
Haven’t had the chance to watch it fully yet, but watched the first few minutes. Thought it was hilarious that you could hear him before the visuals come up - listening to him, he sounds like a regular, bog-standard bloke…then when you see him, obviously he still looks like a bloke, just a porn-sick AGP one
He loves misogynistic porn and said porn for women is "gay", that's all I know about him.
For those of you who are unaware, this is a wokebro socialist political streamer who claims to be a “intersectional feminist”. This is why I never believe any guy who claims to be a feminist and/or progressive.
As I recall “intersectional feminist” was the label claimed by Demmian and alts, the misogynist on Reddit who was in charge of r/feminism. I think it’s MRA for “nice freedom you’ve got there, shame if some FGM and honor killings should happen to it”.
Try saying this about any, ANY other marginalised group. I dare you.
Imagine someone tweeting "Black people shut up and start doing what police say challenge" during the height of BLM. Nobody would be making 'tHeY wErE bEiNg irOniC' excuses...
Absolutely. Great point.
Of course, men don't think women are marginalized. Hell, a lot of women don't think we are marginalized. It's so depressing.
It's funny too because they are basically admitting they don't care about any of the real or perceived racism, anti-semitism, sexism, and fatphobia they've been combing through her books for. Just like how these privileged gendies didn't gaf about any of this for 20 years until all the trans shit, they only care about how they can weaponize oppression to silence women they don't like. Very much "if she hadn't stepped out of line and had all those pesky opinions, we might have let her succeed as a beloved author, even though she's a woman."
..or speak up and be remembered for millenia
I don't know who that is, I don't care, and I will forget about him in an hour like most people. He should think about his legacy, as our dear Jo said herself.
"women be quiet and start apologizing challenge" they always come out and say what they really mean don't they
What a turd. So on International Women's Day, your telling me that Rowling and all women need to shut-up...
Why don't you just say Happy International Transwomen's Day. Isn't that what it is now?
Vaush who
No fucking way. Again, they just come out and say it.
Again, everyone should report this crap on twitter. Get them banned.
If a woman said/tweeted this to a transwoman, she would get banned in under 10 seconds. It would be labeled as hate speech, and an act of violence.
But it’s perfectly acceptable for men, TRAs, and TIPs , to shit on women and tell us to shut up. In fact it’s woke, progressive, empowering, feminist, and free speech.
What makes this guy think women would want his admiration? It's completely useless. I can't stand these fucking TRA who talk about people not liking you as some kind of big threat. Sitting around worrying if people like you or is something teenagers do, not grown women. TRA want women to worry about what other people think instead of prioritizing what she herself thinks, wants and needs.
Makes me think of my favorite youtuber talking about women who worry about people not liking them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbnxqUrLils&t=3037s
Telling women to grovel because JKR said transwo men are men...so you agree, transwo men aren't women.
To hate him even more, watch his debate with King Critical. He can't engage earnestly to save his life.
He was always an insufferable asshole and I say that as someone with a relatively high tolerance for that type of asshole
Another "leftist" TRA comes out of the woodwork to shame a woman for speaking her mind, and ever so predictably wants us to shut up and get back to the kitchen. I heard he supports pedophilia and bestiality as well.

Chains and chains of people parroting Slava Ukraini like brainless sheep, without knowing what it means or how to write it. I get the sentiment behind that is supposedly good, but I cringe a bit at every mindlessly-repeated slogan. People's suffering is not your football chant.
I'd be so bold as to say the vast majority of women have spent their entire lives being quiet and apologizing for their mere existence. It's time for women to get loud, take up space, and stop apologizing, and men who don't like it can gtfo of our way.
Precisely.
People are so used to women NOT speaking up and NOT fighting back that when we do, they think we’re being abusive.
It’s bonkers.
Edit: wow, so many typos. I need to slow down, lol.
I agree completely with your view of the behavior traits the vast majority of girls and women have spent our lives showing. Which is why it really pisses me off when males who are unapologetically loud, histrionic, attention-seeking and hogging, vain, mannered, self-centered, narcissistic, petty, superficial, preening, backbiting, thin-skinned, petulant, mercurial, entitled, envious and covetous - like the majority of gay drag queens and TIMs are - get described by themselves, other men and many women - including feminists on Ovarit - as "feminine" and "effeminate."
Damn, that hit hard. And is a FACT.
