Yeah I actually looked at it more closely and you're right, it wasn't what I thought.
Which does highlight the problem of trying to sort out what's tervery and not because there's a lot of phrasings that sound reasonable but scratch the surface and yowza.

I mean, "Gender Critical," if you didn't know what it means, sounds like it would be against the sort of rigid roles, biological essentialism and presentation policing you actually find, much less hypercatholic tradwives that look kinda like Gwyneth Paltrow minus every orgasm she ever had, but here we are.

If this is the Everyday Feminism link, that’s a good piece and their writing about trans issues is in general very solid.

Think about why you dismissed it as “loving bullshit” because I think that might help you get to a more informed place on this topic.

It's an article written by a trans man that isn't Buck Angel or Kalvin Garrah so it's probably alright.

I got a pretty good result from pornhub of all places too, written by an activist I can personally vouch for.

Maybe the high volume of terf poo poo ITT and the efforts of terves themselves may have lent the notion that feminism writ large is more hostile to trans people than it actually is.

Yeah, all those people who still have to work front lines during the crisis are obviously the important people in keeping society going. If you can gently caress off to your boat or wherever and ride it out society doesn't need you at all. Take all their poo poo and give it to the people who matter.

It's a couple innocuous posts about thanking essential workers in hospitals and suddenly has some dude barging in to bitterly espouse about how his hyperspecific trade should also get recognition like he's been personally slighted by other workers receiving attention.
Everything about that dude's tone and phrasing just comes off as him implicitly trying to downplay someone else's struggle while trying to play up his. He literally says "technicians should be the ones you should be worried about" as if people working directly with sick individuals are somehow not as important. I have no idea how anyone can read that poo poo and get solidarity out of it. He clearly doesn't care about essential workers as a whole, just his own clique.

Dixville posted:

Well I'm sorry. I really am. I didn't mean to offend anyone and I definitely don't agree with TERFs. That's why I said I think their argument that trans people wouldn't exist if we accepted feminine boys or whatever was not valid. And that their argument that it degrades women is not valid. I feel like I am coming at this as an outsider and immediately being branded as a hateful person just because I used a word you didn't like. I didn't know that word was bad. I guess I'll lurk more.

"Transgenderism" is not a bad word, nor is it a "terfy" terfs are probably using it an we're just letting them have it. It's not you, some people are "on one"

It's apparently bad to say "transgenderism" but if someone says "kill all cis people" it's just being ironic.

Because I didn't know and people were all 'just loving google it, I'm not your search engine' I looked it up and the first results seemed to be the International Journal of Transgenderism which has now changed it's name to International Journal of Transgender Health this year. So presumably it became a bad terfy term in the last 3 months that we should all know about.

Probably for years and they only put the change through recently, if they work like literally any other thing

That last sentence is incredibly whiny, by the way. Are you upset about the word "cis" too?

The main one they were talking about today was some who did a 230 miles round trip to buy some windows off ebay, who had his wife in the boot. The journey was unnecessary, he didn't need the windows, brought him into contact with multiple people and also he had his wife in the boot of the car. Though I guess that bit is unrelated to Corona.
