Use my pronouns... STOP USING THEM

Ooh that just brought to mind a quote about Lord Vetinari, one of my favourite Discworld characters: “Crime was always with us, he reasoned, and therefore, if you were going to have crime, it at least should be organized crime.“

I love me some Terry Pratchett, and Vetinari is very fine, but I would prefer disorganized crime, please. In roundworld, organized crime is some of the most violent and terrifying of all male behaviour, no? I am thinking of drug cartels, pimps, slavers and people smugglers. They have to be ultra violent to dissuade rivals and witnesses because they cannot call on the law to protect their 'business' and 'property' like the rest of us can.

Absolutely. I wouldn’t want it either, even with the guilds Vetinari encourages. I just liked the quote wrt us having organised thoughtcrime.

Shall we have a terven matrician? I'm imagining her administrating Ovarit expertly (with the help of a paperwork loving lady, Drumknit) and gazing upon the internet denizens over steepled fingers while ~~plotting~~ sorry, planning, everything.

So I've heard:

Don't assume my pronouns
Magically know my pronouns and it's offensive if you don't
If I list two, use both
If I list two, use one more than the other
Prepare for constant changes in pronouns
Use them often in conversation to validate me, and now:
Stop using them

GET A LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The one thing I like about Contrapoints is his irritation with pronoun circles- like, I have long hair and nails and makeup and boobs and facial feminization surgery and girly clothing and a modulated voice, you should be able to guess I want to be "she" from this pile of cues.

Talking directly to a person I use you, when talking about a man I use he and with a woman I use she. Calling yourself a nb doesn't change the fact that you are female or male. It's fine if anyone wants to be silly, but am I, a grown woman with a reasonably working mind, obligated to participate in this nonsense? Seriously?

I read somewhere on this site, that I was supposed to offer useful comments. I find that so hard when half the time I just want to write: F-off.

I find that to be a useful comment in this context. 😆 It was certainly my first reaction and it would be useful…for venting. Lol.

I just love how they can tell that even their "allies" don't really believe in their identities (hence, the performative over-use of pronouns). I just love knowing they know they're getting clocked like Big Ben lol.

classic narcissism. they will literally never be satisfied no matter what you do bc it's not about validation or dysphoria; it's about being able to control what others think and say.

Agree with other commenters on the narcissism. And agree with the author in that you really can see people falling all over themselves to virtue signal. It’s like when hardcore Christians fall all over their posts to capitalize the H in his when referring to Jesus/God’s pronouns. Gotta pander to your cult!

Note: I live in the Deep South so I see the “it is His will” bs a lot on social media and things like Next Door (really), I’m not religious and don’t run in right wing circles. It’s just as unavoidable as TRA bs for me.

Imagine wanting to do the right thing as a trans ally. It's literally impossible. Everything you say CAN and WILL be used against you in the court of trans. Luckily I don't give a damn..

A narcissist’s ramblings usually do contradict themselves, since the goal is drumming up attention and making people feel bad while ordering them to fulfill endlessly changing, impossible tasks for you.

Welcome to TransLogic!

This is the Radical Feminist Circle to document the various illogical, incorrect, misogynistic, racist, and otherwise caustic rhetoric spouted from TRAs and MRAs in their own words.

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. TRA and MRA 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 22 Nov 2024.

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

This circle is for Screenshots of TRAs/MRAs. The preferred format is a screenshot as the post with an archived link for the screenshotted information in the comments.
*We no longer accept outside links, only uploaded screenshots. The ability to upload is unlocked when a user's account reaches level 3 on Ovarit.
*Screenshots should be sized so the text is readable on a phone screen. No screen shots of long articles that are too small to read on a phone.
*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.
