Because knowing a few from both ranks, they don't consider themselves "trans" any more. They are male. They are female.

I guess they don't count.

Somebody please remind me about Rebecca's contributions to skeptical areas...

Lisa: What does Rebecca do, Dad?
Homer: What does Rebecca do? What *doesn't* she do?

Here's my answer to "what you call trans folks":

"Bill"
"Sue"
"Jose"
"Quan"

you know, BY THEIR FUCKING NAMES.

It's a neverending source of wtf that these idiots spend so much time creating ever more specific labels and boxes to put people in, all the while screaming about being put in the wrong box.

Well you can't fucking help it at this point, the entire ground is nothing but boxes. Boxes all the way down it is. We now have, to be "correct" SEVENTEEN labels for gender ALONE. Good luck memorizing that shit.

Names. people have names. Maybe, just maybe, if we spend more time on the PEOPLE and less time on the fucking GROUP WE WANT TO PUT THEM IN, we'd have fewer fucking problems.

[Metalogic42]

Even as a queer person, I catch myself thinking or saying heteronormative or cissexist things because it’s deeply ingrained in our ways of thinking. The best response is not getting offended when someone points these things out to me; it’s to recognize that I am a human who comes with cultural baggage that is impossible to shake. But that does not mean I should stop trying. And if Hall is as interested as I am in living in a world sensitive to people’s differences, I would hope she can find it in her to re-consider the inherent heteronormativity and cissexism in her positions and work to overcome those biases.

Hugs if you want them. ...

"I love the horde. I’m so used to being told I’m just being overly sensitive, or stupid or I just need to get over it and being understood like this is something that never happens to me. So thanks, I’m sitting here shaking and crying but thanks for being so understanding." (actual comment)

"you’re right to remind us to put trigger warnings, which I also have forgotten to do while in the throes of being affected by what I’m writing (or responding to). IMHO we should be working to make trigger warnings a habitual part of etiquette, like addressing others by name so they can find relevant posts. I’ll also try to be more careful. Thanks for bringing it up." (another actual comment)

They cry a lot. I have even seen some of them threaten suicide ("I did something terrible in meatspace, I should just off myself, I'm such a sexist/racist/etc), only to be consoled and given multiple hugs by 'the horde'. It's kind of, well, disturbing really!

This Will mother fucker is a bigoted piece of shit. I'm an Arcturian Cave Spider (5th Gender please) trapped in the body of a human male. The fact that sh/i/ts precious gender glyph list excludes me, and the fact that sh/i/t continues to use humanonormative terminology is highly offensive. If sh/i/t cared at all about living in a truly sensitive and inclusive society, sh/i/t would stop using such hurtful language.

Steven Novella chimes in to the Harriet Hall threat with a bit of a slapdown for Rebecca - pointing out that there are many posts on Skepchick blog using exactly the same language that the SJW and Watson are using to criticize Hall.

He should be careful.
She might kick him off the 'Skepchicks Guide to the Universe'

Gwod, wouldn't it be nice if she gets pissed with Novella and flounces from SGU? I'd love to be able to listen to that podcast without being subjected to her annoying voice.

I have finally managed to get myself on the Block Bot blacklist (I feel I should've been in there from the start, having featured on #blocksaturday before the bot was born)

Its easier to provke @aratina into doing it than to get @ool0n too - the latter just ignores any argument, tries to talk down to you and act as if he is toying with you when in fact he is floundering. If you mention AmbrosiaX and Aratina in a single tweet, that seems to be a sufficiently obvious followcrime to get on the wall of fame.

Why am I bothered? Its a principle thing. I want to be on blacklists, so I don't get bothered by the kind of people who create blacklists.

They only have themselves to blame. Their whole methodology is flawed as they ban those they abuse. Their whole purpose is to abuse and exploit others so they have no choice now but to turn on themselves. As everyone predicted they have started to do that already. They have run out of victims.

I also love the way they play with words and meanings to try and trap people.

SubMor straight up admits:

Of course not because privilege isn't about individuals. It's about group averages.

and then ceepolk tops it off with:

if you're on the lower end of the power and privilege axis, you cannot be racist.

Seeing as these two mods are not disagreeing with each other, I think we can say that these two statements can be taken as the Atheism+ consensus. I could be quotemining, but I don't think I am and the original link is up there to check.

Putting these two together paints a very ugly picture: whether or not you get labelled as a racist depends not on what you do, not even on who you are, but on what ethnic group you are a member of. Yes, other people have pointed this out, but I thought it could do with being made even clearer that this isn't hyperbole, this is what they actually truly believe.

So the morality of a person (assuming racism is worse than what they dismiss as racial bigotry, and it certainly seems so) is judged by the colour of their skin. Maybe this is my privilege talking, but that sounds kind of racist!

Furthermore, note that in this topic they have given up any pretense of fighting for the cause of atheism, secularism, or skepticism. A 5-year-old girl is being denied public education unless she is sent to a school run by a religious group. This is a no-brainer issue for all three of those causes, but all they can think of is "Brown people versus white people! White people are evil!"

I must admit, when visiting the Oxford Natural History Museum a few years ago, I was on the lookout for a wild Dawkins. I'm a fanboy!

I'd like to think I wouldn't act all groupie/fan-like around him, but even at my age I couldn't be certain. Did you know that on top of his wonderful writing, he also has the very best voice to autotune? Listen to the following song which has a lot of scientists being autotuned (and also unfortunately one crappy scientist who sucks at stats [TRIGGER WARNING at at the 2:30 point]). Dawkins' voice puts the others to shame.

[youtube]9Cd36WJ79z4[/youtube]

Now, I dare anyone to tell me that Dawkins was not the most pleasant sounding voice in that mix. Keep in mind that you will be my enemy for life.

Basically it is this: If I (or the group I am claiming to speak for) can't use force/institutional power/other kinds of power to abuse the subjects of our racism in a majority of instances, then it isn't racism! Racism is about results, not attitudes/bigotry/racism, if my people can't use our irrational hatred based on race to negatively impact your people in a majority of outcomes, my people can't be racist towards yours.

I mean, when you really think about what she is saying it makes perfect sense. :liar:

All the SJW come down on the position that any/all tactics employed by them are fine, due to their Just Cause, while there opponents are not Just, therefore must follow certain rules.
