Encounters With SJWs/Tumblristas Offline or In Unusual Communities

[ZehnBoat]

This is likely why you see Tumblristas say "feeling masculine today". Because to them, gender/sex/whatever isn't something that you just are and has no baring on your life. It's an emotion that's subject to context and mood. This is why it's justifiable to switch from transwoman, to trans-lesbian-souled to faekin demiman. It's about feelings. They get offended because you don't respect their 'identity', but in reality, you don't respect someone who can't keep their emotions in check and are more hassle than they're worth.

this brings the unfortunate thought that as a man or a woman you can't feel like something else
if you're a guy you can't be light and happy and girly.. it means you're a trans bathroom sponge or something

they seem to conflict what transexuals go through, a deepseated feeling of being in the wrong body
and what everyone goes through, feeling odd or different.
then again these are people that think the time a man told them "no" is just as bad as legit slavery
everything is super big for them

What does a statement like "feeling masculine today" even mean? How is your subjective reality different than on a day you are "feeling feminine?" How does your behavior change? If it doesn't, what is the point of that distinction? If it does, how can you say that masculinity and femininity are simply feelings divorced from any objective reality, since clearly they are associated with certain behaviors in your mind?

It's a logical progression of conflating gender with personality traits. If men are A, B, C, and D, and women are W, X, Y, and Z. then if you wake up feeling particularly A, you can claim to be "feeling masculine today".

Thing is, under this logic very few people would be considered truly cisgendered, since they would have to have every trait from their own gender and none of the opposing traits. Likewise, if you're a male, but are not B, or sometimes X, then you're trans, a demi-boy, or some other genderspecial. It's mostly a way for them to make themselves feel special and add drama to their lives by being 'not-cis'.

 

[Pedo Bait]

It kinda reminds me of an abuser mentality where if the other person isn't reading your mind then they are deliberately trying to hurt you. Maybe this is how the abuse cycle starts.

There's a retired Navy guy in my neighborhood who gives $6 haircuts for some extra cash but he only gave them to men. He didn't do this because he's sexist but because he's in his eighties and he's never cut a women's hair before. Some assholes from the local university got their panties in a bunch and wrote an op ed accusing him of being a misogynist, so rather than deal with that shit he closed down his shop last week.

Pricks.

Universities should start giving students homework every day, or they'll have time for mischief.

I met a woman today who demonstrates how dangerous these people can be. After the latest swat raid of a drug den in our neighborhood (where the police found a pair of fucking pipe bombs!) one of our neighbors decided to call a meeting away from our ineffectual paid neighborhood association (not an HOA) in the neighborhood park. About 7 or 8 people showed up to discuss and voice complaints about all the druggies and drunk hobos that exist around here. About halfway through the meetings this woman in her mid-late 40's shows up, asks what's going on, and starts getting fucking combative.

"How do you separate the mentally ill from the drug addicts? You have to let the mentally ill do what they want, they don't know better. If we just put bigger trash barrels in the park maybe the homeless and the addicts would use them."

On and on like that for about 20 minutes, not letting anyone else talk.

About half the group broke away to talk about something else after realizing that she didn't want to discuss anything, just try to stop the discussion and virtue signal. When she realized no one was really listening anymore she pipes her voice up.

"I do everything I can to help these people, I feed them and give them blankets, make sure they are comfortable here, I guess these MEN just don't care." and she turned on her heel and left.

That's right, she's actively encouraging the homeless, insane, and addicts to squat in our neighborhood.

I've never understood people who insist other people don't have a right to live in neighborhoods that aren't infested with human garbage.

I mean, what could go wrong, right?

Really, if the university course you are taking actually leaves you with your free time you are most likely wasting your time with something pointless like womens studies or history of art anyway

This. I did Law at university. In my final years, I had 8 contact hours a week. That's 8 hours of lectures, tutorials, etc.

That's not much.

Then you see the reading lists, case lists, etc. that they drop on you. Their mentality was that it's up to you to whip yourself into shape and do the reading because if you don't you're the one who'll fail your exams.

And yes, the student feminist society were all from soft-soap liberal arts courses. The medical students, maths students, engineering students, chemistry students, us lot, were all too busy with reading or drinking.

Speaking of which, one of my former school friends went to Oxford with Laurie Penny. I wonder if I can extract some dirt on her because she's like Tumblr made flesh.

Hers in particular was a wolf/dinosaur hybrid,

Spoiler: ????!!?!?

@John Furrman Can confirm this bitch thinks she's a sergal?

I don't think so. Sergals aren't explicit hybrids, as in they are an amalgamation of more than just a handful of certain species' morphological traits. Which in gestalt no part of the sergal can wholly be attributed to one or two real-life species. Sergals are original species donut steel. My best guess is raptor/wolf/shark/bird/man hybrid.

Sometimes, a dinosaur/wolf hybrid is just a dinosaur/wolf hybrid. I appreciate the request for input!

 

[Hot Like Bea]

Not 100% an IRL encounter but, was looking for apartments/rooms in my neighborhood and found this gem...

A bunch of crazy

Holy Jesus crackers. I nominate these people for the next season of Big Brother: tumblr Edition.

The boyfriend, for his part, has become such a Jake Rapp that he just assumes that this is normal and takes it. I tried to talk to him about it, but he regurgitated the same rhetoric that she does, saying that he deserves it because of his privilege. They're getting married sometime next year.

Unfortunately, abusive relationships do that to you after a while. You believe that you'll never get anyone else, that you deserve to be beaten or gaslit or whatever, and suchlike, and where would you go and what would you do and so on. You should stage an intervention.

We already tried, ball's in his court now. I hope he snaps out of it before it goes much further, if he cracks years down the line it's probably not going to end well.

This is your brain on socjus, kids.

I was more just making a joke and being cheeky, but thanks, my dude.

No, nothing like that - her thing was more classical Greek in that it was the head and torso of a(n anthro) wolf with the hindquarters of a dinsaur. I know this because she sent me drawings... many, many drawings... which I had saved, I'm going to see if I can find those, too.

I want to see these drawings.

One of my coworkers is a dragonkin. Specifically an ice dragonkin as he's told me many times how he has light blue scales, frost breath instead of fire, and is immune to cold weather. He's shown everyone at work his artwork if his "true dragon form" and will pretend to sprout his back wings at the end of the work day and say he is flying back home.

 

[lolwut]

and is immune to cold weather.

Throw rocks at him if he shows up to work in anything warmer than the standard work uniform.

 

[Rap Scallion]

Had a brief friendship with someone I met through my roommate, we all used to get frozen yogurt together. Then our group turned into the genderspecial power hour and fell apart. Not super exciting, unfortunately.

Person in question was a trans girl (?) who made little to no effort to pass/still looked very masculine/ultimately looked like a dude addicted to heroin growing out his hair. He was just getting into the heart of tumblr at the time and was quick to point out any microaggressions (?) any of the rest of us supposedly engaged in while simultaneously going apeshit if someone misgendered him or didn't understand what he was talking about. He did not want to go on hormones and eventually dropped the trans label in favor of a genderspecial demigirl sort of deal.

He moved to a different area without finding a job first/wailed constantly on facebook about how people would not respect his gender and how he refused to work if people wouldn't call him she/her and his new name. He also had a habit of getting into fights with people on facebook for saying innocent but stupid things/people who were completely unfamiliar with tumblr and its culture.

Also, he and his partner had a baby and are raising the baby without disclosing his sex to anyone and chimping out if anyone refers to the baby with gendered pronouns.
