that victimizes in particular those who start at the beginning and work their way toward the end, page by page, and front to back, rather than from back to front. (We understand that what counts as “front to back” will vary and that Hebrew readers in particular may find this phrase alienating or even eliminationist. We hereby affirm that Hebrew readers exist and that they are no worse [nor better] than non-Hebrew readers, and this holds irrespective of whether the Hebrew writing at issue has actually been or will be written or read.)

My favourite line from this response!

Everyone we like agrees that possible risks can be much worse than actual harms of the sort for which evidence can be provided.

Lmao perfect.

You're going to have to follow the thread back here, but boy is it worth it. The open letter responding to the open letter is very funny.

That was 10 minutes well spent!

''If only Hitler had realized that a book could constitute "organized violence," he could have just published his way to the Third Reich.''

Pitch perfect: it hurt my brain to read beyond the first couple of paragraphs, exactly like the real thing.

Welcome to TransLogic!

This is the Radical Feminist Circle to document the various illogical, incorrect, misogynistic, racist, and otherwise caustic rhetoric spouted from TRAs themselves.

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. Trans activists' 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 8 Sep 2022.

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

Screenshots and outside links are allowed. The preferred format is a screenshot as the post with an archived link for the screenshotted information in the comments.
- Accepted outside links include: research papers, Imgur links, links to other photo hosting sites, archive links.
- 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.
