this person is mad that I called them a terf lol
I'm not mad. I haven't called you any childish names, or did anything else that would indicate anger. That would be you and you alone, and unless you go and start editing your posts anyone can clearly see that.
I'm gonna be real, looking through your account, you seem like a bioessentialist. Potentially a terf, though one that hides it well.
Some of the things you've said are rooted in bioessentialism and come off as very backhanded which I'm assuming set off the other commenter's alarm bells. Quit the act or educate yourself from a trans positive feminist angle, whichever fits your role better.
for anyone that happens to read this and feels lost, here is a good place to start with what bioessentialism is and why it's linked to terfs.
I think they're hiding it quite poorly lmao
I have nothing against trans people, I've said nothing against trans people. I didn't know of this term "bioessentialism," but thanks to you, I've just looked it up. It does not describe my views. I am 100% aware of the concept of people being genetically one way while having a different gender. There is nothing wrong with this at all. I have never said anything remotely like that.
This other commenter is not serious. They are pretending to be trans in order to make them look bad. I don't know why they are so hateful, but at this point, there really is no other explanation. There is no reason they would be so awful to someone trying to learn.
booo
eat shit
edit:
yeah i sure fucking hope you did, i linked an article.
The article didn't show up. I appreciate you introducing me to a new term. The whole point of me being here is to learn.
Thanks, I see the article now. It must have been part of the edit, so I missed it before. I appreciate you taking the time to make the link.
TERF isn't name calling, it's a description of your beliefs. the fact that you see it as such shows me you are one, terfs are the only ppl who refer to "terf" as a slur
No, it is a description of the beliefs that you seem to think every cis person has to have. This is because you seem to want to lump all cis people(which you repeatedly call for the demise of - to the point of mods needing to repeatedly removing your bigotted comments) into this category. Or at least the BS persona you are pretending to be "believes".
I literally never heard of this term until you started blasting it over and over. I had no idea. I looked them up because you kept calling me them so much. If you are not intentionally trying to get them exposure, then you are sorely missing your mark. Thanks to YOU, I am aware of them. 100% die to you. That's the effect you are having. It is absurd to act like I'm one of them.
If you are not extremely anti-trans then you have gotten so twisted up in a truly remarkable way. I highly highly doubt that.
the other poster was right this is a fetish for you terf
Most likely one of your other accounts.
However, in the off chance that you are genuine and just misguided, here is the explanation of the whole genetic male/female thing that you may be misunderstanding. Genetic sex is real, but it is not the same thing as gender. Someone can be a genetic "male" but have the gender "woman". This is an example of a "transgender" person. I know I'm probably just falling into your trap again, but in the off chance that you are genuinely interested and just a bit confused, this is what the situation is. I hope it helps.
lmao the psychosis continues
