There are 2018 genders... and a bitch ain't one

[Guest_810bde84]

If SA really wanted to redistribute land and be fair about it, why not say when the current owners die the farms become coops owned by the people who work on them. Not favoured partyy members or large corporations, the actua famr workers who are as much victimised and abused by "land reform" thugs as the honkies are. I have family in SA, I don't know many 20 somethings who want to go into farming anyway, though there are lots who would feel aggrieved at having the value of the land they won't inherit being taken from them and not being able to sit on their arse seeing it go up in value as other people earn 50% of fuck all for doing the actual work.
But that wouldn't allow for handing land out to favoured cronies.

I know this was a follow on to your earlier post but the accidental placing of this on a new page just under a post on South Africa makes it look like taking a girl cock up the ass is restorative justice for apartheid.

[Shatterface]

If gender is simply a social construct why isn't the onus on transwomen to reconstruct themselves to fit in with the rest of us instead of the 99.9% of cis people to reconstruct their gender?

[free thoughtpolice]

I recommend that the trans community follow the lead of their religious brethern/cistern and set up conversion camps. Instead of pray the gay away they could lay on hands for the trans.

[Really?]

So... Vice Canada has published an article about how if you don't like a "girlock up your ass" you're being brainwashed by the Evil Cissexist society.

Many trans feminists, including myself, would argue that this sense of disgust isn’t a given in our predetermined sexual identities; it is a flexible frame of mind that can be changed through critical self-reflection. There are plenty of people, including heterosexual men and lesbian women, who might find themselves surprisingly attracted to a trans woman.

:lol:

Let me repeat: I am not saying that it is imperative to be attracted to trans women. I am arguing that your attraction is shaped by preconceived notions and stereotypes of transgender folks. So, no, I am not shaming you because of your sexual orientation. I am merely asking you to critically reflect on the factors that might shape your attractions.

"You're not a bigot, you're just being brainwashed"

Sexuality and gender aren’t simply something that comes from some biological imperative. They are phenomena that are developed through a messy brew of social, cultural, historical, and psychological factors. They can also prove to be lightly malleable if we try to dig into the foundations of how those oppressive structures influence the ways we see and understand the world.

Reparation therapy includes taking cocks up your ass.

Fortunately they're getting roasted on Twitter.

But between Riley Dennis, this article and Sophia Banks, the idea that sexual preferences are "lightly malleable" and one needs to "critically reflect" on one's preferences is becoming more and more popular among trans feminists. It's the logical consequence of believing that everything is a social construct.

Linked from that article is this one:

Why Are Trans People Being Banned From Tinder?
The dating app won’t really explain why it keeps happening.

A number of trans people have come forward with complaints that their Tinder accounts have been suspended or banned without reason.

Recently, YouTuber Kat Blaque brought attention to the issue with a Twitter thread about how Tinder had deleted “every single account” she had created on the app since she initially got it. She wrote, “At this point, it's very very very hard for me to not believe that I am either being targeted by transphobic trolls or being banned because I'm trans.”


Other women interviewed for this article also cited suspicions that transphobic Tinder users had reported their profiles, leading to them being banned.

Tahlia, a 23-year-old trans woman who lives in Austin, experienced similar frustrations on the dating app. She started using Tinder in 2014. In December 2015, not long after she transitioned and marked her gender as “female” on the app, she was banned temporarily for the first time. She said Tinder reinstated her account about a month later after she had sent a number of complaints. But, recently, she had her account banned once again.

“There were two guys I was pretty interested in, we were talking, and they seemed pretty cool—now I don’t really have a way of letting them know what happened,” she told VICE. “They’re probably just going to think I ghosted.”

Tahlia has communicated with Tinder via email about her account issue. To date, after weeks, she still has not had her account reinstated.

Here's one of the subjects of the article. I don't know what she's really complaining about. She's no Zinnia.

And good news: she's getting a vagina and most of it is being paid for by insurance. But she needs your money.

Hmm. My mother in law’s best friend - who had her kids at the same time - just had her son stabbed to death in the mountains behind Cape Town. His wife escaped after throwing rocks at the black dude. My wife’s pretty down as she was close to the family and the (then children) when she was growing up.

People – often paternalistic senior men in my experience – trying to dissuade me from achieving my ambitions. Comments like ‘You’re too nice, why do you want to do a PhD?’ and ‘I don’t see you as an academic leading your own research group’ are two that stick in my mind from my early days. Thankfully, I’m stubborn and refuse to be pigeon-holed by the roles that other people have picked out for me (which are generally servile in nature!). I overcame these artificial barriers erected by the naysayers, by demonstrating that they were incorrect to assume they could decide my goals for me.

The persistence of the ‘gate keeper’ culture, enforced by the concept of the ‘meritocracy’. It seems to me that you need to be brilliant as well as have the right ‘patronage’. It’s my impression that early or mid-career women in science are often offered the weaker version of ‘mentorship’ versus the full endorsement and real world support of a senior patron. This may be due to implicit or explicit cultural biases within the industry, combined with the pervasive social conditioning of some women, to wait for their talents to be noticed, instead of being proactive, to seek such arrangements.

Service Dog is our resident Tinder expert -- how does it work? There's one photo, and if you're attracted you message the person, flirt a little, then set up a time to fuck?

How the hell does this Thalia think it'll play out? Even if she 'passes' in the profile pic, no trans passes for more long in person, especially if the interaction is all about sending & receiving non-verbal sexual messages. And eventually there's got to be the Crying Game reveal. It's completely dishonest to hide behind one carefully posed headshot and save 'oh by the way, I'm trans' until after you meet. Does Thalia hope her hook-up dude will say, 'well, I took two subway lines and paid for drinks and hors d'oeuvres, so I might as well bang a trannie'?

It's just sad.

[MarcusAu]

Oh, I think there are people out there that would want to fuck her.

Possibly not the sort that she wants to want her though. However you feel about the situation there is no denying that there are extra hurdles in place not present in what one might characterise as the more traditional style of relationship, and that the path to romantic bliss is not likely to be strewn with rose petals.

Whether or not this is Tinder's problem is up to them. It's certainly not mine.

[Shatterface]

If Tinder allows users to define their own gender who the fuck is going to use it? Is Grindr facing the same kind of shit from transwomen insisting lesbians suck their girlcocks?

That's the thing, though, there are lots of people who have it harder than average to find romantic or even sexual mates for one reason or another. That's not oppression, that's life. There's no right to romantic success, because such a right would imply a duty for other people to supply romantic or sexual services, and that goes against consensual approach to romance and sex.

Trans activists really shouldn't want to die on that hill, people do not take it kindly when you say that their preferences are social brainwashing and that they should consider "social pressure". This is especially true for people who have been told by other social groups, like religious groups, that they needed to change through the right amount of "social" pressure.

If you read the Twitter comments to the Vice article about how "trans exclusionary preferences" are a product of patriarchal brainwashing pretty much ALL of them are VERY critical of the idea. The TERFs are crowing that they told us so and that trans women are men trying to convince women to date them. Many LGBT people are drawing parallels to Christian re-education camps. And of course straight people of all political stripes are against it for obvious reasons.

If the trans activists carry on insisting that people who don't want to fuck them are being socially brainwashed or bigoted they're going to alienate the VAST majority not only of society, but of progressives, and even large parts of the SocJus. It's really not worth it and they should just give up.

Grindr is gay males. Maybe there's a few transmen on there but the vast majority of transmen are attracted to women.

CaughtUpLockedOut

Coops in South Africa usually degenerate into a fight over who draws the biggest salary from the operating budget while the business falls apart. Working on a farm and being a farmer are two entirely different things. A farmer needs a wide range of knowledge, most of which is well beyond the average farm worker. Modern farming isn't just a matter of throwing some seeds in the ground and reaping some profit. There is a lot of very expensive machinery involved which takes a lot to maintain, crops need to be monitored and chemicals administered at the correct times. Knowing the local culture it is unlikely that the required investment in equipment maintenance would be made or that consideration would be given to long term viability. The saying "there's no word for maintenance in the Xhosa language" doesn't come from nowhere. The number of people who would benefit from the takeover of farms is miniscule compared to the number of unemployed. The loss of revenue from the agricultural sector and the effect on food availability and prices will far outweigh any benefit. The whole thing is just populist bullshit.

I'm becoming more disillusioned every day about this country. The endless corruption and incompetence and degeneration of city centres into shitholes doesn't leave much room for positivity. Idiots believe that the end Zuma's asset stripping reign is some sort of new beginning. Ramaphosa's speech to parliament was just a rehash of all of the pie-in-the-sky bullshit we've heard so many times before, delivered by a man who had Zuma's back until it became convenient to turn on him. This is the guy who oversaw the Marikana massacre. :cdc:

"Every conceivable line," you asshole. There is literally nothing you could do to a woman than to say what you did. Now that you are banned for privileging a patriarchal rapist misogynist over a bedridden victim, you have time to think about how not being forced to have sex with a man can make you demand to be allowed to work from bed except for the fun days.

The idea of bringing world peace is a pie-in-the-sky project, but in many of those cases (Syria, Yemen, ISIS, Boko Haram) to get even small results the US would have had to interfere with some Saudi projects to spread their ideas for a caliphate, and that's a big no-no in the US, where the Saudi Arabia lobby is very powerful. Saudi investments in the US include financing of think tanks, university, the media.

People rightly complain about Russian trolling and collusion saying that it hinders American interests and projects, but nobody bats an eye when Saudi shills openly attack anyone who suggests to stop funding Salafi militias in Syria as an Assad fan or an Islamophobe, or when Saudi media whores try to spin a coup within the Saudi hierarchy as "liberal reform". Yemen is also selectively downplayed by the media,, because if they reported on it massively and honestly it'd be clear to everyone that the Saudis are involved in a genocidal project against the Houthi there. And before the Saudi/Qatari split everyone touted Al-Jazeera, a Qatari propaganda rag, as a reliable source of good journalism, when it's basically on the same level of RT or Sputnik.

So... Vice Canada has published an article about how if you don't like a "girlock up your ass" you're being brainwashed by the Evil Cissexist society.

Many trans feminists, including myself, would argue that this sense of disgust isn’t a given in our predetermined sexual identities; it is a flexible frame of mind that can be changed through critical self-reflection. There are plenty of people, including heterosexual men and lesbian women, who might find themselves surprisingly attracted to a trans woman.

:lol:

Let me repeat: I am not saying that it is imperative to be attracted to trans women. I am arguing that your attraction is shaped by preconceived notions and stereotypes of transgender folks. So, no, I am not shaming you because of your sexual orientation. I am merely asking you to critically reflect on the factors that might shape your attractions.

"You're not a bigot, you're just being brainwashed"

Sexuality and gender aren’t simply something that comes from some biological imperative. They are phenomena that are developed through a messy brew of social, cultural, historical, and psychological factors. They can also prove to be lightly malleable if we try to dig into the foundations of how those oppressive structures influence the ways we see and understand the world.

Reparation therapy includes taking cocks up your ass.

Fortunately they're getting roasted on Twitter.

But between Riley Dennis, this article and Sophia Banks, the idea that sexual preferences are "lightly malleable" and one needs to "critically reflect" on one's preferences is becoming more and more popular among trans feminists. It's the logical consequence of believing that everything is a social construct.

At least with all this crap I can understand why transfeminists are pushing it. Pretty clear self-interest motivation.

In the future China will colonize space, and the US will be bogged down by the endless meetings with the alien-kin delegations which will be blabbing about how comes that their space missions aren't representing them :bjarte:

Feminists should retaliate by colonising Venus. Let's see how they get on with sulphuric acid clouds and nobody to open the pickles.

I'm probably enjoying this more than it's healthy, but still, this is funny as hell.

America as a fucking moron who's also a nasty asshole for a President, but Canada has another fucking moron for a Prime Minister, the difference is that he's an awkward wimp.

I'm not sure which guy is more embarrassing. Each one is a caricature of everything wrong with their side of the spectrum and both men are dimwits. As much as I hate trump, I might have actually voted for him if I got a choice between him and trudeau.

Yeah the picture is funny, but it's a little too believable.

I take this sort of braying more seriously than some on here do.
The reason?
Codes of Conduct and the ADA Iniatative and James Damore and the largely successful feminist attack on science and technology that has been going on for probably about 30 years now.
Why do I say it is successful? After all, aren't STEM and most types of scientific research still overwhelmingly done by men, and even more so those evil white male oppressors, and their, I guess, presumed Asian male lapdogs? Yes, but:
A. Sexual harrasment law and policy continues to get ever more broad and nuttier by the decade, sometimes by the year. Compare 'old' COC policies to most new ones. Compare SH law from the early 90's to that of today. Consider the power of Social Media to ruin reputations. And consider that most sciedntific grant organizations now tie recepients of grants to strict "no tolerance' policies on even once having one of their members receive even a minor sanction for said secular sin.
B. The Media war has been lost ever since at least the early 90's. Every headline almost always assumes the truth of the most scandalous accusations. The Mainstream narrative is that somehow Women were driven out of STEM (for instance) even though that is historically inaccurate. Most people don't get that the vast majority of new male programmers starting from the early 90's to the early maybe even mid aughts didn't have any formal computer science education as it wasn't (and often STILL isn't ) needed. That women made up 30 percent or something of Computer Science courses didn't mean that they made up anywhere near that amount of the much larger horde of less formally educated (but often still well self educated) "Computer Nerds" who invaded the field when the internet boom went off. Anyway, even though the large amount of men in the computer industry have been made the press's whipping boys for 20 something years now, they still presume shock when they find any REAL misogyny - after spending decades complaining of misogyny and allowing their targets no voice to defend themselves.
C. Read Damore's lawsuit. Not what is SAID about it, find the lawsuit and read it. I have. It makes some pretty shocking allegations if true. It seems the companies themselves are operating under semi-formal quota systems for everything from hiring to promotions.
D. Tech gurus like Eric S Raymond and Linus Torvalds practice precautions when around lots of women because they feel that they can be taken down by a single accusation. Imagine if #Metoo's tech women went after Linus Torvalds and the press (as usual) went to bat for them and only them. Imagine all the people pulling money or support from the Kernal effort...
Now, I consider Elon Musk (due to his multiplanetary asperations) probably the most important tech guy in the world today. And I worry about Space X constantly. I thank Whatever Power (might or might not) exist in the Universe that Justine didn't mess with his time with kids (probably would crush him), that Ms Riley (2nd wife) hasn't thrown any horrid accusations his way and that (almost alone of the tech companies) his companies usually get positive press.
E. In some European countries they've already done things like make laws saying that say 40 percent of your Board of Directors has to be Women. I know quite a few here who would LOVE to have that law.

Anyway, I think downright quotas is what feminists and other progressives who deal with tech WANT. I also feel they love to hurt and humiliate the men in tech, esp the white men. And I do feel that some of them would like nothing more than crushing Elon Musks dreams and because of their institutional support, I don't think that is entirely impossible for them. He will have to be careful.

[Service Dog]

Service Dog is our resident Tinder expert -- how does it work? There's one photo, and if you're attracted you message the person, flirt a little, then set up a time to fuck?

How the hell does this Thalia think it'll play out? Even if she 'passes' in the profile pic, no trans passes for more long in person, especially if the interaction is all about sending & receiving non-verbal sexual messages. And eventually there's got to be the Crying Game reveal. It's completely dishonest to hide behind one carefully posed headshot and save 'oh by the way, I'm trans' until after you meet. Does Thalia hope her hook-up dude will say, 'well, I took two subway lines and paid for drinks and hors d'oeuvres, so I might as well bang a trannie'?

It's just sad.

One fishy thing about the article is the tranny complaining about s/h/it's account being suspended back in 2014-- the first year Tinder existed. Tinder was just a small, independently-created app back-then. It was buggy & support couldn't keep up with user-growth & the developers simply hadn't figured-out how to solve certain conundrums, yet. A side-effect of believing in The Patriarchy, is believing that it's an all-powerful conspiracy-- so anything which doesn't work perfectly is a deliberate, targetted attack by Central Planning. So the Progressive way to solve any complex social issue is shouting "I'd Like To Speak To The Manager! I demand satisfaction!", never thinking-up & implementing a solution yourself.

Circa 2015, I recall gay guys on Tinder discussing whether to sign-up as Men Seeking Men (thus advertising themselves to other gay guys) or to mis-identify themselves as Women Seeking Men in-order-to have their pictures shown to men who had selected to only be shown Women. The latter gays were hoping to win-over guys whose heterosexuality was easily tested with the very-least temptation of being shown a picture of a dude.

Tinder has changed a lot since 2014, including being acquired by the SJW-friendly Facebook. SJWs demanded that Tinder offer more user-genders than Male & Female, & the complainers got what they asked for. Of course the SJWs are now upset when Cis users want the Trans types to actually label themselves by the labels they previously demanded.

As best I recall, from 1 year ago, Tinder only gave me the options of 'I am Male/Female' looking for a Male/Female/Either' ...and me choosing "I am a Man looking for Women" did NOT filter-out the new genders from being offered to me.... it only filtered-out those who had identified themselves as Males.

I think each user also has the power to choose whether their gender-label appears directly-under their photo. Or not.

In NYC, there were tons of gender-nonconformists presented to me, despite my women-only filter settings. There were baroque drag queens, not-even-trying Muscatos, and lots of grubby art school students who were no-so-much feminine as indistinguishable from actual female art students with poor hygene & terrible haircuts. Some labelled themselves Transwomen under the photos, and some didn't. Also, quite a few pretentious young females also labelled themselves as Trans or Genderfluid or Gender-Nonconforming or whatever... as a political statement... so the labels didn't automatically mean 'no god-given vagina'.

It slowed-down my ability to quickly swipe Yes/No on dozens of women in minutes...so I chose the efficient route of swiping-quickly/ getting some false-positives/ and then immediately blocking those, after-the-fact, if they subsequently 'matched' with me.

The gayest thing I've ever done is have phone sex with someone from Tinder, allegedly female, who I never met in person. Maybe s/h/it had a cock? She certainly might not have been the slim young asian from a western cowboy-state, as she claimed.

I suspect The Deep State has a plan to send some of our excess women (read feminists) to Mars to prevent them from coming and taking who they want.
