Infinite Gendercrit Theorem - a theorem that states that an unlimited number of many-legged gendercrits, dancing on ink pads and wandering across pages of paper an infinite amount of time, will eventually write the Harry Potter series
I met up with a friend at a bubble tea place chosen for its location halfway between our homes.
It turned out that the shop had a special #HarryPotter theme going on. It was elaborate - on-theme drinks, a potion mixing station, well crafted decorations everywhere you looked, etc. As someone who read all the books, I could appreciate it, but as a #trans person, I was horrified. We were supposed to cancel that #genderCritical billionaire. We went elsewhere. #terf#cancelJK
Watch what happens when racists, homophobes, Nazis and pro-lifers use this legal precedent to insulate themselves from censure.
Arguably, via the #TERFs, this process has already begun:
"‘A politically toxic issue’: the legal battles over #GenderCritical beliefs
"A growing number of organisations have been found to have discriminated against [#Transphobic] women because of their views. What are employers learning from such cases?"
This is Capesir. He's a furry art commissioner who thinks that being trans is a "trend", and that a trans suicide rate of 50% "needs to be higher".
If you're an artist in the fandom, you should be aware of his views considering that he likes to commission a ton of art. Even if you're not you should know to avoid him and encourage others to avoid him as well.
"One is not #born, but rather becomes, a #woman. No #biological, #psychological, or #economic destiny defines the figure that the #human#female acquires in #society; it is #civilization as a whole that develops this product, intermediate between female and #eunuch, which one calls #feminine. Only the mediation of another can establish an #individual as an #Other. In so far as he exists for himself, the #child would not be able to understand himself as sexually differentiated. In #girls as in #boys the #body is first of all the radiation of a #subjectivity, the instrument that accomplishes the comprehension of the world: it is through the eyes, the hands, and not through the sexual parts that children apprehend the universe."
—Simone de #Beauvoir, philosopher and social theorist, in The Second Sex (1949)
Just my favorite Second Wave feminist, shattering the entire concept of the gender binary and "biological womanhood" in one masterful swoop.
I was shocked to read earlier on Discord that Australian neurodiversity proponent (and indeed coiner of the term ‘neurodiversity’) Judy Singer has recently come out with a series of transphobic tweets, uncritically parroting GC/TERF language
She has since rowed back, deleting several of her tweets (but not the one supporting JK Rowling) and saying she’s going to take a leave of absence from Twitter to talk to her ‘friends in the trans community’
I really hope her outpouring of hatred for a marginalised community was an aberration, a blip (albeit a harmful one)
I don't know when else I'll get to talk about this, so I'll just do it here: This person, "OldGardinia", is a full-on KiwiFarms endorser who spends a lot of time indoctrinating Mumsnet forum users into accepting increasingly more alt-right leaning ideas and concepts.
