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 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.
You are not "MtF", you cannot not "transition" from your male sex to the female sex regardless of how you mutilate your body, what you don or what ideology you parrot and take part in. "Cis" holds no credibility, you are a girl or woman or you are a boy or man if your sex is female or male, respectively, and the latter of each sex will apply to you if you are an adult. "TERF" holds no credibility because it is by definition incorrect; radical feminists do not exclude "trans"-identified girls and women from their feminism. Not even elaborating on how this term is used as a slur for people, primarily women, whether they are radical feminists or not.
It is unfair to say you, a male, are a woman because you are not. You are who you are: men. Women are adult human females. Boys and men on opposite-sex hormones do not experience menstrual symptoms because you do not have female anatomy nor a menstrual cycle no matter how you alter your body. A woman whose anorexia nervosa is so severe she is experiencing amenorrhea is a woman, as is a woman that experiences secondary amenorrhea because she is pregnant.
Also, "I just want to be a normal girl... insecurity" -- I mean, it's all creepy, but wow. And, yes, you do not have to suffer to be a woman because suffering does not make you a woman, being born female and growing up to be an adult does. Exposing your thought that womanhood is defined by how much women have suffered, grisly.
*Edited for grammar
**Edited to add my commentary on “Plus being a… stripes”, no. You do not face challenges because you are a “trans”-identified man, you face it because you are male and don’t adhere to male sex roles, hold fetishes, are a sex offender, etc (typically a myriad of reasons). As for the stripes part, girls and women do NOT “earn [our] stripes”, we do not become more of a girl, woman, or more female the more we suffer so you certainly cannot become any of those as a boy or man.
