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 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.

-
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.

Is a Lion Still a Lion?
This children’s picture book seems to be very sensible and sending a clear message that someone (the lion) can wear a hat, dance and make polite conversation or any number of things you wouldn’t expect a lion to do, however, the lion is STILL a lion.
Some of the text includes:
“Is a Lion still a Lion if… he wears a hat?”
“Is a Lion still a Lion if… he carries an umbrella too?”
The lion then pushes his way into the home of the two child protagonists by saying,
“May I come in? Don’t mind if I do.”
The looks on the children’s faces and their body language show confusion, uncertainty and reluctance at this uninvited and unwelcome intrusion into their home.
The lion then creates a ‘fun’ atmosphere with wild dancing. The children’s instincts are dulled and they are won over.
The atmosphere changes when the lion’s true nature is revealed - he becomes aggressive and indicates he intends to eat them.
The children’s answer to the question “Is a Lion still a Lion?” is…
“YES! A LION IS A LION IS A LION! And now it’s time to Go! GO! GO!”
The children hide under the table and long table cloth, the lion lifts the hem…
“OR… Is it time to simply say… No!”
“No, you may not come in - we DO mind if you do!”
The children throw him out of their home.
The text continues,
“So please remember, A LION IS ALWAYS A LION!” And do you think he’d like to eat you too?”
The lion (in hat and holding umbrella) reappears with a smile and says,
“Mmmm…Don’t mind if I do.”
The children shout,
“No, no, no Lion! You may NOT!
NOW…SHOO!”
I just LOVE this book!
Based!!!!
Some of my takeaways:
*A lion can change his appearance with clothes and accessories but he is STILL a Lion, no matter what else he’s pretending to be.
*You should be wary of lions trying to enter private places where they do not belong - trust your instincts.
*Lions can hide their true intent through disguise and smooth talking.
*Lions can be very pushy and determined.
*You can say no.
If anyone else has read this book - I’d be interested if you felt similarly or had a different perspective.
I love it! This has a great message. Such a breath of fresh air amongst all the creepy grooming material for children:
"Let the lion in your house, kids, he's wearing a hat. Be kind to the nice lion."
Here we are in 2031. Latest news: "Rush to hear why the age-old story of 'Little Red Riding Hood' is discrimination! In other news, scientists have just discovered the transgender wolf!"
