I don’t even think it was the trans that got her… it was the fact that everyone around her was getting more attention than she was, even though she was the one who made her family internationally famous. She just couldn’t tolerate that.
Narcissists gonna narcissist.

It's this, precisely.

I think she was also getting for flack for "taking up space" or talking over TiPs. Naturally, if she wanted to keep the grift going, she needed to improve her "qualifications."

This. 100% this. Her 2nd book is about the suicide attempt she had after her online Twitter fight with Gwen Benaway and Niko Stratis (two TIMs that disapproved of her being famous for trans content without being trans herself).

lmfao at her getting bullied by TIMs

Which is crazy because you'd think she would figure out that it was male privilege on their side. That she was being treated like many wives & mothers throughout history (ie working hard to keep the family afloat only to get no recognition and watch the men in her life steal all the credit). And her solution to this is....trying to become a man herself.
I would feel bad for her if she wasn't such an insufferable asshole

Same here. I try to feel solidarity with other women even when I don’t agree with their choices, but sometimes it’s just not possible. She was insufferable before she TIFed herself; this is just her leveling up.
How'd she make her family famous? I know nothing about this woman

She’s been an outspoken trans activist since… at least 2016, I think? Under Amanda Jette Knox. First her son transed himself, then her husband. She got them in the news nonstop for several years.
She was wrongfully convicted of murder a while back ago and spent some time in an Italian prison
That's a different Amanda Knox.
Different Amanda Knox. Whew.

Lol I tried to look her up and went down an Amanda Knox rabbit hole earlier, too

A timestamp on the 2nd one, or like a "x weeks/months/years later" text, would help enunciate the hypocrisy.

(there was about a 4-year gap between the first post and the commencement of wrong-sex hormones, in case anyone wants to know the actual timescale)

I wonder when the TIM husband will realize that his wife going the TIF route undermines his 'Lesbian' cosplay. He probably does not like that. Plus, her focusing on her own "transition" certainly takes away some of her attention from him.
I think there’s two other TIMs in their “polycule” 🤮🤮🤮 So I’m guessing she’s their live in maid while they play “lesbian orgy” all day.
immersangFebruary 28, 2024
Oh God, you're right. I forgot about the whole "polycule" thing for a blessed minute.

I love how they claim that they spread happiness when many of them just sound very bitter. And the thing about contagion? Maybe being trans isn't, but what these people are doing to language definitely is. Come to think of it, it's more like brainwashing...
My best friend just returned from a short trip to Berlin where she read some of her poetry from an anthology alongside a few of the other authors. Most of them are in their mid- to late-twenties or early thirties, very sensitive and touchy, and of course, they all adhere to gender ideology so my friend did her best to fit in by adapting their speech.
When she told me about the event yesterday, she said things like: "The anthology includes FLINTA-authors only, that is, everybody except cis het men". FLINTA* is a special German acronym for Frauen (women), lesbian, inter, nonbinary, trans, agender, and the asterisk "includes" everybody else who doesn't have their own letter (yet).
Then there was one individual transitioning from male to female, declaring that his pronouns are she/they, and when my friend talked about this person, she constantly corrected herself whenever she used "she": "Ah no, it's 'they'... I really have to get this down..." I was like "You know, you don't have to do that around me... besides, I think it's a very unnatural way to talk". She still thinks she needs to adhere to those idiotic rules because, you know, "be kind", and if people want to be a "they", well, then why not address them as such.
The really weird thing about this was that she didn't seem very comfortable, and I know that before her journey, the whole pronoun thing stressed her out immensely because she was afraid she might slip up, and we all know what happens when someone uses the "wrong" pronoun around gender specials.
So, no, not a contagion, but a constant brainwashing on many levels.

This liberal feminist idea drives me up a wall, that everyone who isn't a Western straight white cis 1% rich able-bodied non-kinky Christian man must be a super-enlightened super-safe pro-woman feminist with no problematic behaviour towards women ever.

How does that work in German, given that she/they are the same word?
I think it's a very unnatural way to talk.
People should change their language IF said language is problematic, regardless of how "unnatural" it might seem. It's also "unnatural" to not apply sexist biases against women, but we're still demanding it because it's the right thing to do. Adapting your behaviour to counter societal toxicity and bigotry is a good thing, but it should not be done in order to feed a delusion of being some super special trans-dimensional being that's ascended above our mortal male-female distinctions.

In German she/they are the same word. In English, she and they can be used interchangeably: She went to the store. They went to the store. So when someone gives their pronouns as she/they, how am I supposed to know when to use she and when to use they? They need to leave languages alone.

Where I am Extinction Rebellion (and I expect other similar organisations) use 'FINT' - I think 'female, intersex, nonbinary, trans' - instead of 'women' when they want to have super-special reserved workshops, exhibitions, anthologies, etc. Needless to say I don't attend or participate in any of these, and it's definitely driven a wedge between me and any organisation like this that I might consider working with. Which, I have to say, I expect is a big part of the point - to keep women separate from each other out of fear and disgust at having to potentially interact with genderpeople.
JehaneFebruary 28, 2024
Same. Last year, on International Women's Day, there was a demonstration for women's rights - under the umbrella of FLINTA. Yeah, no, thanks. While I of course think that female non-binaries and TIFs are included in any activities revolving around women's rights, I don't see any responsibility towards all the others = larping men.
It's too bad the 2019 screenshot doesn't have her original name, but yeah. Not a contagion my ass. Her entire family is trans now, including the kids. Also dropping off my favorite Menno parody here because this woman has flipped so many genders it would make Spongebob's krabby patty skills jealous. She transed out two months after this.
I wish I had more empathy to spare this very mentally ill woman but I don't. I feel sorry for her kids.
LOLLLLLLLLL these ppl are such clowns. They roast themselves regularly
Lol. "I always knew I was trans, even when I knew I wasn't."
