Gender Discussion #16

[emm]

I had a nosey on Kat Bristow’s page. Just incase you were wondering what abrosexual meant (sure you weren’t but good for a laugh anyway).

It does make you wonder if they are so desperate to be women why do they hate actual women so much? It just makes me think they are hateful, frustrated gay guys who are jealous of women but hate them at the same time. It’s all so weird

what the hell does any of this even mean?! I just have no words how ridiculous this is. are we going to get to a point where in addition to introducing our pronouns we are also expected to introduce our (daily changjng) sexual orientation so we don't offend someone who may or may not be attracted to men that day

Pronoun Twitter full of anger at Blackfishing Jesy. The irony

This is just bleeping meaningless isn't it? I was in a relationship with a woman for nearly 7 years, I have since dated men exclusively. I have been attracted to all sorts and could reasonably define myself as some sort of 'queer' but I'm well aware that (rightly) nobody bleeping cares . Least of all me. This obsession with fitting into boxes and announcing it to the world is narcissistic in the extreme.

Not fancying someone every day is really normal isn't it? I don't meet enough people to fancy someone new every day and I don't fancy my boyfriend every day because of things like emotions, illness, my boyfriend being annoying af

Absolutely. It's like when people announce being asexual. Nobody needs to know. They're so desperate to be in an oppressed minority they're fabricating reasons to be different.

The level of self absorption here is off the scale Who gives a duck about what this creature finds attractive on a daily basis? Why would you need to discuss this with everyone online?
Does this person have a job or anything else going on in their pathetic existence other than penis naval grazing?

 

[Whatevesmate]

I'm technically mixed (grandparent) but I look completely white and I'd feel a dick using it to add to an oppression list the way this white man looking creature does. Just very weird.

I really really wish they would at the very least Just separate the LGB from the trans and stop acting like people that aren't comfortable with trans are also homophobic or against gender non conformity, I'm all for both which is one of the main reasons I'm not comfortable with the trans movement.

He is mixed race and does look it IMO (its more evident, in other photos). It's probably the only part of his description that is legitimate. There is a link on his twitter profile which goes into even more detail about his preferences. WTAF. So demanding, entitled & absurd:

I like to refer to this person as the green party identity collector. Gotta catch them all.

of course there is a journal to document her victories I cna imagine being sent a passive aggressive reply letter for accidentally writing only Ms Bristow on an evelope

 

[Ispyabudgetbeanblogger]

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but if you've ever come across Phoebe Fuller, there's some very serious and disturbing stuff that's come out about her.

She's someone who is reasonably prominent in the GC online sphere. I think it's a good reminder that online there will always be some fucked up people, regardless of which side. Makes it doubly important to stay critical and challenge things that don't seem right.

I'm spending too much time on Twitter - but interesting comments on this thread about declaring pronouns - women seem more inclined to 'be kind' and declare their she/her pronouns, which is viewed as submissive behaviour by some

Err .... What? Who pronounces Kathryn that way? The name had two syllables (not three) and the stress is in the first syllable (not the last). What's Ms Bristow on about?

 

[SqualorVictoria]

Kathryn Bristow, you're a mediocre male who no one would pay the slightest bit of attention to in any other circumstance. Face up to it, you're a boring, mediocre tool

 

[petitspois]

I bet most people who meet Kathryn immediately clock a guy dressed as a woman so don’t need all the rest of it to help them out.

 

[Thorongil]

Fae/faer? Anyone tries that with me in real life and they will be told to duck off.

OK fair enough. I do still find it odd to put it in your bio like that though.

It is weird. Things you just are, like sex, ethnicity, age is something you don't have to alert people to. It's just who you are. Stuff you may find important like your religion, job, hobbies us something you may want to tell people about.

Imagine being this demanding and then assuming the rest of society is the problem.
