Welcome to TransLogic!
This is the Radical Feminist Circle to document the various illogical, incorrect, misogynistic, racist, and otherwise caustic rhetoric spouted from TRAs themselves.
The lies, misinformation, threats of extreme violence, and the dehumanization of women who dare speak up against this misogynistic, racist and conservatively homophobic ideology are legion. Trans activists' stochastic terrorism has already turned to real world violence against women and children.
Use this Circle to record what they say -In Their Own Words-
Note: this circle is also to showcase the lies, fallacies, and misogyny of men in general, whether or not they are trans-identified. This can include MRAs, TRAs, or just your average Joe.
Rules updated as of 8 Sep 2022.
Posts can be removed by mods for any reason for the health of the community including ones that don’t land or are confusing.
Tip: If you aren't sure where a post should go, check out o/ItsAFetish and o/Radfemmery to decide whether or not those would be better circles to post in.
Rule 1: Appropriate Posts
Screenshots and outside links are allowed. The preferred format is a screenshot as the post with an archived link for the screenshotted information in the comments.
Accepted outside links include: research papers, Imgur links, links to other photo hosting sites, archive links.
For Twitter, please screenshot the tweet/thread rather than linking directly. Utilize the archive function and imgur.
NO direct linking to TikTok, Reddit, YouTube, or misogynistic accounts (i.e. Blaire White or Contrapoints' Youtube channels).
NO genital pictures, including neovaginas and neophalluses. Mastectomies and breast implants will be taken on a case-by-case basis. NO MEDICAL PICTURES OF MINORS ARE ALLOWED
NO text posts or copypasta.
Rule 2: The NO List
NO misogyny, racism, sexism, homophobia, anti-Semitism, ableism, ageism, colorism.
- NO slurs: No n-words, misogynistic slurs (ex: bitch, slut, terf, cis), t-slurs or their derivatives (ex: trunacy, troon, Timmy, Timothy)
NO debating. Take debates to other circles. Do NOT debate tenets of various philosophies here. No derailing or sealioning. No DARVO.
NO posting about minors.
NO template gripes.
NO conversion therapy (aka "genital preferences are transphobic") or other right-wing, conservative talking points allowed.
NO joking about any and all illegal activity that could actually happen
NO talking about downvotes. For the love of all that is female, STOP talking about downvotes. Mods are sick of it. No griping about how many downvotes your comment or post got, or another person's comment or post got. Those comments will be deleted even if they accompany otherwise good commentary.
Rule 3: Redactions
Reddit names do NOT need to be redacted, neither do Chapo Chat names, etc.
Do not redact the Twitter handles of TRAs and misogynists.
Verified users are always fair game.
FACEBOOK NAMES NEED TO BE REDACTED. DISCORD HANDLES NEED TO BE REDACTED.
We do NOT protect misogynistic men and their sycophants. Record any and all misogynies.
Sitewide Rules and Sitewide Guidelines are enforced here.
God it's so condescending "they probably dont understand why she gets comfort & food and they do not".. like homeless people aren't going to be intensely aware of whichever series of events led them to being on the street.
I've worked with homeless people for years, and while it's true many do have MH issues and are vulnerable adults, some (especially men) do become homeless because of long-term violent and anti-social behaviour which gets them put out of every housing opportunity you get them.
Of course this can be tied in to MH and drug and alcohol, but not always.
Ultimately though, any man who attacks women on the street (and a black woman, no less) can claim to have MH issues.. but that doesn't make him the victim or mean we should brush over the misogynistic/racist opportunism behind these attacks.
What I'm saying is he hasn't attacked her because he sees her as having more power than him, but because he sees her as having less.
Many people like this who supposedly "can't help it" due to stress/MH/D&A use etc. would simply never attack a man of any colour.. but even when supposedly at their most vulnerable, men are still confident in their superiority and power over women. We can't afford to ever forget this, and we can't afford to make excuses when these behaviours do occur.
Male privilege may increase with wealth, health, and class, but even at the bottom of the scale it's still there. No "type" of man should have a free pass to attack women, and no type of man should be seen as trustworthy or safe by default. This should be taught in schools.
