Reminder that it is okay to step away and take care of yourself. These are trying times, but beware saviorism; the movement does not hinge entirely on you. Others will take up the fight, and when you've refueled, you can let them step back when you step up. We're in this together.

TERF Nonsense 

"Your refusal to play along with my false assumptions gave me no other choice than to lie about you"

TERF Nonsesne; Hypothetical Sexual Abuse 

I think a TERF just tried to argue that because person x can't get anyone pregnant, there's no risk of rape X.X

TERF Nonsense 

"It's Trans women's fault for cis women abusing other cis women" Is uhhh... Certainly a take.

TERF Nonsense 

Oh fuck, Glinner's reading comprehension is so terrible he tried to "take that" me and misgendered his own supporter XD

TERF Nonsense 

In case you were at all curious if these folks are arguing in good faith. I can confirm with absolute certainty: No

re: TERF Nonsense 

Got some righteous fucking anger going on. Don't exclude people from your precious "Sex" because they don't conform to your standards.

re: TERF Nonsense 

'course now this strengthens my argument, because it appears TERFs have to argue that a vagina is only good for having babies, and if it doesn't do that, it can't be a true vagina.

TERF Nonsense 

Wow, I'm dense. Didn't put the two and two together that folks making the "gamete" argument of bio-essentialism are just using a fancier version of the "fertility" argument.

TERF Nonsense 

"You see, the shape of this person's skul- I mean chromosomes, can predict their sex, which is immutable and can never be deviated from" - TERFs all up in my mentions.

TERF Nonsense 

TFW you realize you're arguing with someone who thinks a penis is the exact same thing as a neo vagina.

TERF Nonsense; youtube 

youtube.com/watch?v=nQY9-86-mP This popped up in my feed and kind of reinforced my thoughts on pushing back on nonsense.

I know I'm not going to convince anyone, and they're arguments aren't worth taking seriously, but someone has to push back, and it seems I've found a niche. It's exhausting, but there are times where it feels rewarding in its own way.

TERF Nonsense 

And they say *we're* the Ideologues.

re: TERF Nonsense 

Oh boy, what an intellectual powerhouse, quoting Benny Shapps himself!

FFXIV 

My FFXIV raid group is now in need of a new healer! We're running 8-10PM Pacficic, Tuesday, Thursday, Sunday.

TERF Nonsense 

Oops, a TERF tried to argue against trans folk in sports (and then blocked me) not recognizing that all the folks she listed met the requirements listed by the organization, including testosterone levels :O

But of course you're supposed to be discouraged by how these folks look. They're so much BIGGER and STRONGER than you, a weak woman, who has no way to compete against ""men"". Again for those in the back: TERFs aren't interested in pushing for women's rights.

TERF Nonsense 

Gender Critcal? More like Gender Not-Critical-Thinking! Haaaaa.... :|

TERF Nonsense 

They haven't had great arguments before, but it's really interesting to see their attitudes when you strip their ideology bare.
