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.
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.
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 . . .
I suggested that she could...
The audacity of these guys never ceases to amaze me. The only people I've met (at least personally) who feel comfortable telling strangers what to wear seem to be men.
more inclusive towards masculine and trans lesbians
As if masculine women were the same as straight men with a fetish.
she said trans women and cis women weren't really the same
Lol even he knows this, but it's only a sin when actual women state the obvious.
Oh men telling women what to wear - how unique and progressive!
The arrogance of these men is unbelievable.
If this was that lesbians introduction to the obnoxiousness and utter narcissism of the T, let this be her first step on her way to the peak of Mount Terf.
go unknown lesbian! Transwomen are not the same as women! (she may have used different words, but same/same)
BREAKING NEWS: Another hetrosexual man shocked that lesbian didn't want his dick.
I left the table annoyed and went to talk to someone else.
Did she even invite you to her table in the first place, bro???
I like sis's strategy, though -- to just act confused and unaware until he gets tired of mansplaining women to her and goes to annoy someone else.
I wish her only the best in life. Thrive unknown lesbian! Enjoy your manfree life!
She did a great job of acting confused and letting him tie himself up and making a royal scrotum out of himself. Poor poor testicle haver.
Also who the fuck cares about all these damn flags christ alive! They donât fret over who made the American flag or the euro flag or St. Georgeâs flag but we can spend all day nitpicking anyone who decided to use the bloody rainbow.
Sometimes I wish Iâd never been peaked because itâs hard seeing all the misogyny and bullshit comming from these wierdos. And then they do crap like this and I wonder how I ever behaved like a good little handmaiden and trotted out their fuckery
Ah yes, the flag issue. I learned about this myself when my ex girlfriend had the old flag in her room and got grilled about it by her âqueerâ roomate (who only dated dudes) for itâs problematic history. My ex (who was radfem leaning) laughed it off by saying she didnât know and already had bought the flag so she wouldnât replace it. Privately she told me she thought the orange flag was hideous and she didnât understand why the Orange had to represent enby AFAB lesbians since they were included anyways. Since then I also learned the purple labrys was TERF adjacent as well when two of my other friends were shamed out of using it. Now I wear my labrys pin everywhere I notice the number of TRAs, male enbies and TIMS interacting with me has plummeted. Itâs the most effective repellant for these types because it screams TERF
I really envy that lesbian for somehow avoiding hearing about any of this. I would have first guessed she was deliberately playing dumb to avoid a conflict with an unhinged man (this is what I do if anybody says "Sounds terfy" or something to me) but the fact that she also apparently said that TIMs can't be attracted to women makes me think she's in the blissfully unaware stage where one thinks TIMs are harmless castrated gay men in wigs
It's probably because the word "lesbian" actually used to mean something.
Hahahahahahahahaha.
Die mad, bro. (Or Dilate Mad as some genius put it on Twitter.)
I am not a lesbian but how can anyone be shocked that those who are most affected by this ideology are GC?, I fall under the other camp well several of them, domestic abuse, old enough to have a tonne of stories of everyday harassment and sexism and a mother so I have seen many sides of the patriarchy.
allies/TRAs I always think are naive and never lived in their lives, stuck in a little protective bubble, its no surprise to me they tend to be young. (I'm talking about the women who fall over themselves to "be kind").
Just randomly talking to someone to say they are not using the right flag and they are a bad lesbian... Has that person been socialized in the real normal world? This is weirdo behaviour
straight moid sees lesbian, mansplains lesbian flag to her, mansplains female homosexuality to her, leaves 'annoyed' that sheâs a lesbian. then calls her a terf to his fellow straight moids, even though she said sheâs not a radfem. fucking homophobic entitled shits. they fucking hate women, they hate lesbians, but just canât fucking leave them alone
all the âlesbiansâ he knows are straight men.
and yep thatâs what happens when you come out as a straight man, people come out of the woodwork to send you love and to congratulate you, whereas when you come out as a lesbian, people come out of the woodwork to call you a terf and tell you to suck their dick.
If she meets three more dudes like this, she'll become a radfem! I only heard about that and stuff like this website because of TIMs. Most of us start off kind of indifferent to them, but supporting their right to not be hate crimed, and the more we interact with them the more radical we become.
They literally do the radicalising. I never met a radfem or spoke to one that tried to convert me. TRAs did all the work themselves
And considering how historically lazy men have been Iâm quite glad theyâve decided to take on the workload of showing their asses to women and pointing them in the right direction. Itâs the least they could do
