You haven't lived until you've read Bailey's erotic troon fanfiction

I think I will take a pass at reading any of that.

ETA:

I'm torn as to wanting to know this one's abnormal things, other than that face.

You haven't lived until you've read Bailey's erotic troon fanfiction

I know troons like to pretend they are teen girls, but this is taking it a little too far. This sounds like it was written by a borderline illiterate teen girl. The part I randomly picked had way more detail about cooking veggie lasagna than it did about the amazing sex the characters allegedly had. I'm thinking that is because this person has actually cooked veggie lasagna before and has never, ever had sex. The majority of it was so badly written that it was incoherent. The dude is not a writer. Just like he isn't a woman, either.

I'll bet J.K. Rowling never thought she'd grow up to be Martina Navratilova.

I don't think troons even realize how badly they are messing up. JK Rowling is progressive. She's been on board with making characters retroactively gay. She is not some right winger who would have hated troons no matter what. When you start pushing progressive allies away -- you are screwing up. They are too narcissistic to realize they are their own worst enemy.

Rhys is a prime example of this. The more he speaks about trans rights, the trans agenda becomes clearer. It is nothing like gay rights where gay people just wanted to be free to live like anyone else. I didn't have to give up any rights for gay people to get the right to be openly gay or get married or adopt. 100% did not affect me for those rights to be given. Trans rights infringes on other's rights by design. Use the pronouns or else. Let penises in women's locker rooms or else. Give up women's sports or else. Change your sexual orientation or you're a bigot.

We shouldn't treat troon rights like gay rights because it is not the same thing at all. Progressives made the mistake of thinking that, but they need to tell the T to take a hike. I won't give up my rights to please a bunch of crazy men in dresses or crazy women wearing backward baseball caps.

“Progressive” culture is toxic. I guess part of the problem is that it’s largely redundant - the major battles have been fought and won. But progressives these days seem to actively seek out people to witch-hunt. Having latched on to a target, that person must be utterly destroyed - everything they’ve ever done must be scrutinised for wrongthink and anything laudable they’ve done is dismissed. Virtue signalling is at play - “You’re right that she’s transphobic, comrade, but perhaps you’re not as woke as I am and so did not spot this antisemitism.”

Rowling created a series of books in which a diverse group of heroes fight a racist hate-driven magician, but to hear the Twittersphere talk, you’d think she was Hitler’s mistress.

IMO the worst part maybe is that there are still battles that should be fought, but the progressive movement has become all about serving the interests of men (especially male troons) and aren't interested in fighting any battles that don't benefit men. They fight for the exploitation and trafficking of women in porn and prostitution, for industries that exploit and prey upon women like makeup and plastic surgery, for the rape of lesbian women by straight men who call themselves "women", etc.

It's much, much easier (and benefits men more) to make the liberal movement about making noise about how these two paragraphs in a six-hundred word novel allude to the possibility that the author may believe women exist, or this celebrity tweeted that they're not gay and would like if people stopped writing gay fanfiction about them (not their characters, the actual human being acting in the movie or show) so they must be a homophobe. Or whatever.

 

[Diana Moon Glampers]

When I was younger I read a dystopian novel where there was a worldwide computer system that regulated most aspects of who you were, what you'd do with your work, where you'd live, who you'd mate and reproduce with.

At a young age, every child, no matter where in the world they were from, was brought to the big room full of buttons and lights that was the computer, so they could see it, and understand its sheer scale and presence, and impress upon them how important it was.

Later in the novel, you find out it's all a trick, or rather, a decoy: the lights and buttons on the machine are all fake, and do nothing, and that's not a real supercomputer. The real computing power is, of course, somewhere little kids don't go on field trips, and no one gets into without a security clearance, because the government fully recognizes that sometimes, people who want stupid things like freedom, justice, or democracy will try to blow up the benevolent supercomputer. The decoy ensures that these occasional attempts do minimal damage to the totalitarian state.

Whenever I see people like Rhys McKinnon pushing the idea that language is truly the lever that controls the world, and that the main targets of liberal activism should be about language use and symbolic violence, and watch the liberal elites smugly smile and lap it up, I think of that book. Can't imagine why.

Sounds like an interesting read. Do you remember the title of it?

 

[JY's Tampon]

Heads up! If you are using the search function on Twitter to find Rhys' bullshit you need to search:
from:rachelvmckinnon for anything before the handle change over. I was searching from:sportisaright and couldn't pull up shit during an argument with a troon.

BTW isn't Rhys rescheduled talking in London coming up? Or is it like his speaking tour of Japan.

This is what happens when people become tolerant and accepting of everyone and everything. I don't tolerate or accept degenerates but apparently that makes me a bigot if the're wearing dresses. People like Rhys don't want rights, they already have the same human rights we all have, what they want is to fulfill their fantasies with impunity.

I'm okay with tolerance, if someone's behavior doesn't negatively affect me. I don't owe anyone acceptance. I'm entitled to make any moral judgement I want about what people do. I don't have the right to impose my morality on others, but I don't have to tell anyone that what they are doing is okay or normal if I don't think it is. Even if my beliefs are actually bigoted, it doesn't matter. I'm entitled to them. I'm not entitled to infringe on the rights of others, but offending someone with an opinion they don't like doesn't infringe on anyone's rights. That's just free speech in action.

The UCI have got to sort out the rules for trans/gender for 2020, which should happen before the end of the year, but there hasn't been a squeak of rumour or info which way they will go.

An interesting thing happened the other day, tho. In a recent MTB event the UCI over-ruled the Indian organiser regarding gender status of the event. It was to be a gender neutral event, but the UCI stepped in and changed it so there was a class for women and a class for men. The paragraph about that desision is several paragraphs in to the article.

Indians put on a good show at Mountain Terrain Bike racing

Shiven and Kiran emerged as the national champion and runner-up in the national segment.

thebridge.in

The racing is reported on in several places but this is the background to the eventual decision You may get a paywall window but i closed and re-opened the link and it didnt come back for me.

Two women join Mountain Bike race in Kerala

Naima Madlen Diesner and Laxmi Magar to vie with 19 men in MTB event

www.thehindu.com

So...my understanding is the main event has been an event that has just been for men historically, but two women entered and were accepted. I cant find out if the event was men only/gender neutral but only men entered historically, OR the indians gave it the neutral status when they accepted the entries from the two women. The UCI then over ruled the organiser, in the four days before the event, making seperate classes.

There's also the huge problem that not everyone can have every right, because rights are exclusionary in nature. Many of them are directly incompatible with one another, which is what is happening here.

- Women should have the right to exist in Women's only spaces (changing rooms, bathrooms, rape/domestive violence shelters, prisions, etc)
- Everyone should have the right to express themselves, even if Men choose to expresse themselves as Women.

These both cannot be true, as one literally negates the other. Rhys would like all of the rights for himself and doesn't care if they are directly stolen from other groups.

Here's the link to all the upcoming How To Academy events in the UK. No Rhys (or "Veronica Ivy") on the docket...YET. They're probably still looking for a venue large enough to hold the throngs of knowledge-hungry philosophers and adoring fans.

I hear Japan's building a stadium for that same purpose. Odd that the Russians aren't more into Rhys.

In cases where you have to choose whose rights outweigh someone else's, the only fair thing to do is to pick the larger group when protecting rights. If you have to choose 1% of the population or 50% of the population who will lose their right, it's only fair to pick the group that will impact the least amount of people. But there are plenty of areas where compromise can be made between troon rights and women's rights. The problem is that troons won't compromise.

 

[AnOminous]

The problem is that troons won't compromise.

The solution is really that if they won't compromise they should get fucking NOTHING.

Not always. To use the most tired example of all, dismantling Jim Crow involved overriding the rights of the Southern white majority (to operate segregated establishments, etc) but it was still the right thing to do for various moral and pragmatic reasons.

Pointing out the differences between Jim Crow and denying Rhys his gold medal is left as an exercise for the class. Alternatively, submit a response essay (one paragraph or less) on today's "Assigned Male" reading.

I don't know that I would classify separate drinking fountains as a "right" that white people ought to have, though. There's no anatomical difference that would necessitate a different kind of fountain for whites vs. blacks. Unlike the differences between the sexes which do require different spaces based on either ability or things such as societal ideas of modesty and body autonomy. You could argue that we should do away with the concept of modesty and have unisex bathrooms. But sports would be a much harder sell because it is based on biological differences that are not merely social constructs. We could have unisex sports, but we'd almost certainly have very, very few women champions/medalists if we did. And if we don't have categories based on different abilities, we'd need to get rid of age categories, special olympics, para olympics, etc. Everyone competes in one group and let the best person win.
