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.
The atrocious spelling and misuse of homonyms are the least of this guys problems but it bothers me that such clearly unintelligent people always end up in positions to effect the lives of others.
Clearly stupid and dangerous? Elect him to the city council!
It's "to affect the lives of others." Not "effect." It's affect when used as a verb
He had an effect on the lives of others It's effect when used as a noun
See, now I should NOT be elected to city council. Haha this one will always confuse me. I thought affect was just when someone puts on airs and that if it has an effect, you use the word effect. It's my first language, even.
Affect and effect are confusing, like lie and lay.
Affect can also mean the emotional state your face displays. You can have, for example, a "flat aspect" if you're depressed.
Effect can also mean "make happen." "She effected a change in government," for example.
So if I had added "have an" before effect it would have worked, right? I found the verb vs noun advice helpful until I read that effect can also be a verb? But it's a verb that means make happen" but not "make change happen", the later should be affect again? Haha this is why Benjamin Franklin and Noah Webster wanted to create a whole new alphabet and scrap our entire system of spelling! English is FUN.
He had an effect on it. You were affected by it.
Want to do lie and lay now?
I had to go back and reread your other comments to even understand those two very simple sentences. I'm hopeless.
But, yes, lay it on me!
Present tense:
A person (or an animal) lies down. (no direct object)
You lay a book down on a table. (takes an object)
It's a common mistake to use "lay" when the correct usage is "lie."
Past tense:
The past tense of lie is lay. Last night you lay down to sleep.
The past tense of lay is laid. Last night I laid the book on the table. (takes a direct object)
(If you say the prayer "now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep," you turn yourself into a direct object of yoru own action.)
Confused now?
No, this one makes more sense to me. I had to come back to it though because my eyes kept glazing over every time I tried to read it the other day! I think this is for me like when I aced two semesters of stats but was convinced the whole time I didn't understand it, or how I've lived in the same city over a decade now and there is one intersection I will always try to go the wrong way through. I just second guess myself that much.
