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.
LOL. I love that analogy! Its so apt now that the awful Drag Race show is popular and these dudes are becoming millionaires simply by putting on a dress and some Tammy Faye makeup
Drag was tolerable back when it was a gay male subculture and you had to actively seek it out if you wanted to see it. But I'm growing to hate it more and more now that its literally being shoved in everyone's faces (and woke assholes think its a brave act of resistance to make children interact with these Sex Clowns)
Agree. My local library hosted a drag show for children’s story time and my local coffee shop had one too. I had fun at drag shows in my youth but I would never take a young child to one or consider it to be a worthy act. And I’m not homophobic or remotely conservative.
I've been bisexual since before I knew it was possible and a hippie pinko liberal since I was old enough to have politics, and the most positive I've felt about drag has been politely feigned interest because my friends were into it. Then I realized that women are allowed to have dignity and drag is misogyny, and my opinion has taken a definite nosedive.
was there an epiphany-triggering single event or experience that made you "realize that Women are allowed to have dignity" at whatever point?
Not all at once, but exiting a relationship with a true male degenerate and deprogramming myself from it was the process that led to it.
Thank you for sharing 🥰 and congratulations on "leveling up" in the game of life!
Thanks. The realization is its own reward, but the recognition is nice as well.
SEX CLOWNS!!! Lololol. That is the perfect way to describe them. That's all I'm gonna call them now. Oh god
there was even a drag queen on rupaul's drag race (who was later exposed as a predator to an underage girl, and exposed as a racist, but anyone who had watched their season could realise they were) who had a tattoo of tammy faye! i cringe how much i liked drag as a libfem and how much i know about it now lol
You're absolutely right. I think for many gay men who were always shamed for doing "feminine" things, drag was very subversive and, dare I say, empowering. But only in a specific context that you mentioned. The kind of drag that is "female impersonation" needs to be left behind in 2023.
It does NOT work on national television. RuPaul is first and foremost a capitalist, and he has no qualms saying so. He will do whatever it takes to make more money. The result is branding drag queens as modern superheroes who are changing the world for the better. This branding makes his TV show better and makes him more money. I don't even think he believes it.
Trying to watch Drag Race today is even more insufferable than ever because, atop of the womanface, the contestants are so narcissistic. They speak as though they're the most important people in the world who are single-handedly saving lives by putting on wigs and makeup.
I think you hit on why Drag Race bros are so insufferable. They act as if they're modern day MLK Jrs fighting against oppression. Old school drag may have been just as sexist as modern drag. But at least old school drag performers were just having fun and didn't claim that putting on a beehive wig made them civil rights heroes
That's why I do have a soft spot for some of the older queens, like Tyra Sanchez (now changed his name to "King Tyra") who won season 2 of Drag Race. He said this
