I'm no media critic, but the format of Twitter quotes made this a 10/10 narrative to me. The tension and drama of reading the response post, only to lead into the reveal of what Ani actually said. Perfection. I can't imagine a better two part story being intentionally written.

Woman: "Kids should love and cherish themselves"

Internet weirdo: "This is literally genocide"

LadylucyJuly 6, 2024

I think believing there’s a genocide ravishing trans people is offensive. Send them all to Sudan, so they can witness a real one.

Perfect the way you are? Pure hatred! Don’t need to change your body? But think of the poor insurance companies!

But think of the poor insurance companies!

The shareholders won't be able to buy a second yacht!! 😭

This is what happens when you live a boring, coddled, middle-class life with no real problems, conflicts, or other opportunities for character development.

Privileged Paul has to make up shit to feel offended about. Genocidal thinking is a projection of Paul’s very own school shooter mentality.

Privileged Paul should get sent to work a Mexican ranch or field for a couple of months, with no access to the Internet. Press the reset button on his or her brain.

Send him to an American ranch. Send him to the fields in California's Central Valley or slaughterhouses in Nebraska, a cattle farm in Texas, tobacco fields in North Carolina, corn and soybeans in the Midwest, hops in the Pacific Northwest. Fishing in Alaska. Tell him that whatever he can accomplish in that time, it's because of whatever health and structural soundness his body currently has.

People undermine all that health or soundness, however much they have, when they transition. The doses of hormones the body isn't supposed to have, the surgeries, the continue stress and the added fear of what happens when people find out, the narrowing of social circles and opinions...how is that healthy? How is that a better life? Is there another illness out there that's treated by leaning into it instead of trying to help the patient out of it?

Maybe we should just bring back bloodletting at barber shops, because if someone says they have a bad case of "foul humors" who are we to deny their lived experience? /s

Strange. This was exactly what the online mob was promoting not ten years ago, to the point where even suggesting an obese kid diet was considered abusive.

hellamomzillaJuly 6, 2024

Almost twenty years ago, I had three daughters under 4. And there was this business that was positioned to be a destination for birthday parties for little girls — and it was like a kid glamour shots thing. The girls got makeovers with makeup and fancy clothes and then pictures taken. I said that if anyone invited my kids to something like that, I’d politely decline and say we had a prior commitment.

And all these super-liberal feminists with no kids went hard to try and shame me for not wanting THAT to be an experience for my daughters. Like i HAD to take them to every party or whatever because otherwise it would be social suicide or something. I just said, “I’m their mother. It’s my JOB to tell them no to things but also yes to things i think will be good for them or benefit them. I don’t think kid glam makeovers is a necessity.”

True story: The women who tried to make me out as a hateful hardass? Are literally transing their children. I’m gonna take that as evidence I did SOMETHING correctly.

Not subscribing to gender ideology is hateful now. That glam party shit is baseline gender ideology. No wonder they were unhappy you didn't accept it

TheKnittaSpacePopeJuly 6, 2024

Glad you never went along with such sexist trash, and it tracks perfectly that she’d trans her kid. Can’t have a child that doesn’t conform to sex stereotypes!

You’re a great mother 💚

And now you'd be an evil bigot if you don't want to take your kids to a drag show.

NastasyaFillipovnaJuly 6, 2024

Exactly. You can't say an obese kid should exercise more and control their diet, but you're perfectly fine in saying kids should castrate themselves before even reaching puberty.

Some weird timeline we are in

pennygadgetJuly 6, 2024

This is such a good point. A few years ago, The Los Angeles school district posted videos by some activist on social media who whined that its abusive to make a distinction between healthy and non-healthy foods. And that its abusive to say that a severely obese kid should lose weight or cut out junk food. But this same district will encourage dyphoric young girls to cut their breasts off.

We are living in hell world

pennygadgetJuly 6, 2024

So its "genocide" to tell children, "you're fine the way you are". And to tell little boys, "it's okay for you to enjoy nail polish" or little girls, "it's okay for you to enjoy sports"

This is the epitome of western privilege. Claiming that something this benign is a literal act of GENOCIDE! This person desperately needs to read a fucking history book

MagPiJuly 7, 2024

Guess I'm Literally Genociding my own kid then. I let him wear nail polish when he asks, also buy him sports stuff when he's interested, but always tell him he's allowed enjoy whatever he likes (age appropriately of course).

You know, free to be you and me stuff.

Clearly genocide.

TerfPersephoneJuly 6, 2024

Fuck the books here - this guy needs a digital detox and be made to touch some fucking grass. That dude personifies the harms of living a chronically digitized existence. Pull the plug - dude needs to become acquainted with reality once more.

rainJuly 6, 2024

Ah yes, the famous First Stage of genocide: telling kids they should feel good about their bodies.

SistersovermistersJuly 6, 2024

"Maybe if I speak out against this enough, I can ignore the burning sense of regret I have for going so far into the deep end of gender ideology! I can't back out now!"

Being introspective is such a scary thing, isn't it?

samsdatJuly 7, 2024

I think that’s at the real root of the rabid allyship: cognitive dissonance. The allies want so badly to believe that they’re Good People - their entire self image is built on that - that they cannot accept that transgenderism and the movement built around it isn’t what they thought it was, because they will lose their sense of self.

It’s very similar to the way many Catholics, especially women, refused to believe any of the molestation accusations against priests.

TerfPersephoneJuly 6, 2024

This post exemplifies the cringe-worthy hypocrisy embraced by the TQ. On one hand we have a woman positing that young people don’t need extreme body modification to be happy, and that gender stereotypes aren’t proscriptive. You can be male and enjoy things like fashion or baking or whatever - you’re still male. If you’re female and enjoy Popular Mechanics or gaming, then you’re no less female for it. This is a very realistic and healthy viewpoint. On the other, crazier hand we have a full-fledged cult member disavowing the idea that men and women are not defined in their entirety by rigid gender stereotypes and that teaching children to value themselves without exogenous hormones and cosmetic surgery is tantamount to genocide.

Hmm, now let me think…whose message lets people be themselves without imposing an extremist and doctrinaire ideology? Hint: it’s not the person who says teaching kids that they’re okay as who they are without becoming chemically neutered sub-adults is “genocide”.

Should go in the ovarit book of crazy shit. This book would write itself.

They really tell on themselves.Really, do listen to what trans people and TRAs are saying. That's how I, and many others, terfed out.

I looked up, and he seems to have deleted this tweet. Hopefully, he got chewed alive for this.

They love to groom.

SpicymeatballJuly 6, 2024

This is completely deranged.

auximerfJuly 6, 2024

Naw they just be saying anything now. The OG post didn't even mention gender dysphoria

This man must have some kind of agenda...
