TYT now stands for The Young TERFs

[brenthutch 383]

She had the temerity to identify as a woman and not a “birthing person” or “person who menstruates”

Kasparian's tweet, posted just before 2.30pm on March 22, has been viewed on the social media app more than 20 million times.

…

Her comments did not go over well with Twitter users on both the right and the left with one person saying: 'Ana, that might be one of the most TERF things you could say.'

 

This is quite often the case when the Daily Mail tries to complain about a left wing ‘mob’.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion is all about NewSpeak, and 'gender politics' is likewise mind-boggling.

Making a neutral comment about basic a biology should not be cause for people to take leave of their senses.  Lighten up, Francis!

Orwell was, indeed, an optimist.

What about this?

“I’m done with Ana Kasparian. Fuck you. This jab is needless. NEEDLESS. And yes. When you refer to any person that may have a uterus, including trans men, it’s “people with uterus” F*** her and the main show”

Or…

“No worries, we can just call you asshole from now on, since you’ve chosen to pile on the trans community with a taking point you KNOW is rooted in transphobia. So glad you chose to make this SUPER important point in the midst of historic attacks on trans rights!”

Ya know? 

There's a pretty simple rule.

If Nazis (real, swastika waving Nazis) show up to support you...

You're WRONG.
Period.

So that’s three out of twenty million. I guess that makes all the difference.

Nope, it's about combining getting a wider range of inputs, because groupthink is only good when you're interacting entirely with that group.

I could go on but you wouldn’t be happy until I listed twenty million, I have better things to do

It's hard to believe your mind is that easily boggled. Try harder, you may begin to understand. All you have to do is just let them be, even if it seems weird. As long as they aren't hurting others. NewSpeak was about a society where diversity is not allowed. It was the opposite of what you are saying. It was about suppressing people who want to express themselves in a way not approved. People are still getting beat up for acting and looking in cross gender ways. That needs to stop. There is nothing dystopian about it. We are not living in Oceania. Yet.

 

Edit TYT and TERFS would be great examples of newspeak. A convenient shorthand for expressing disapproval of nonconformity.

Since you took the time to post (and link, for a change!) and gloat about this nothingburger, apparently you don't...

So what you're saying is that he's doing the exact same thing he's accusing others of doing.
