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.
i do a combination of both powerlifting and bodybuilding and will be able to help. what is your workout routine for those 3 days?
I only go on the elliptical bike (3 times a week for an hour) and do 100 push ups against the wall every day.
I am not trying to lose weight (I’m at a good weight for my height, I just work out to stay healthy).
The problem I am having is that my arm muscles are starting to be visible and bigger but it doesn’t really look the way I want it to look and I’m not exactly sure why. Maybe I need some exercices targeting the opposite side of the biceps ?
so getting your cardio in is very important, but if you want to build muscle, you will have to lift weights. do you have access to a gym?
Not right now but I will in September.
so a very good program that i always recommend for beginners is megsquat's before the barbell program. it is a free program ran on instagram (@beforethebarbell) that's 3 days a week and uses basic equipment found at any gym. the whole program is on that account and she has video demos of each exercise per day. i would run her program for your 3 days instead of doing the elliptical for those 3 days and if you want, do the elliptical on an additional day instead. you really want to make sure you're working out BOTH your upper and lower body so you are not imbalanced as this will lead to a lot of injuries and problems down the road, and fortunately her program is very well-balanced.
That’s very helpful and exactly what I was looking for, thank you !
np! if you have any questions about the exercises/exercise alternatives or need help with anything, feel free to PM me!
i wanted to add that while you're waiting for the access to your gym, you can substitute a lot of her exercises with dumbbell or body weight versions. you can google the exercise name + dumbbell or bodyweight alternative.
