The internet

All the things.

Have we considered this whole thing is a monkey paw situation or an ironic curse by a badly phrased wish to a vengeful genie?

Not always, no.

I'm liking the Monkey's Paw tinfoil.

I was just reading the rant of some TERF about how all "normies" think of trans people the same way they do. I swear they never talk to anybody outside of their cult.

54 year old edgelord, trying to get banned as he admitted, not that those posts don't perfectly reflect his thinking. Are his Mess cohorts or "reasonable" supporters (if there are any left) interacting with that account?

I want him to get his account back simply to see how people who followed him for his comedy react to that sort of dreadful shit in their timeline. 

I know they turned a blind eye to the transphobia and bullying before, but it's now 100% angry bananas rather than 'concerned' cherry picking, so far harder to deny.

Staniland does this really annoying thing where she jumps on a phrase and just repeats it over and over again.

Maybe they have no idea who or what they are fighting because the people they are fighting are so inconsistent and lacking in any ethical position other than "trans bad". All other points are moveable depending on how it relates to the "trans bad" argument at that time.

Saw a screenshot of a tweet from Frances Weetman saying that she was trans when a teen but grew out of it, as most people do. They really can't get their head around the difference between tomboy/girls and trans people, and that there are gradations of gender non-conformity (something that GCs should be pleased about you would think) and that trans allies are perfectly happy with the concept of tomboys and don't think anyone who has any complicated thoughts about their gender or sexuality should be pushed towards transitioning.

Very, very rarely do gay men or lesbians refer to themselves as 'homosexuals'. When I've seen a person use that word to refer to gay men/lesbians, and they're not a native English speaker, they're nearly always homophobic. I wish I could articulate it more clearly, but basically it's a red flag.

I was a tomboy as a kid and I am most definitely not trans. There's a huge difference!

Yeah, it is like men who call women "females". There is something off about such clinical language#. I'm not saying everyone who uses those terms is homophobic or misogynist, but it is an indicator

"Homosexuals" always reminds me of this clip

Always hear it in an evangelical preacher's voice.

Also, nice bi-erasure in that cartoon. Although the use of 'homosexual' really does highlight the way saying "here come the trans" is like saying "here come the homos".

Another tiny detail which is further proof of them never quite understanding memes: "tRaNsWoMeN aRe WoMeN". You're not supposed to capitalise every other letter all uniformly like that. CaPItaLisE rAnDom lEtTerS.

Maybe a rare moment of drunken clarity and acknowledging that the GCs aren't feminists

Was it a tweet to Oddbins at three in the morning?

Edit: wrong loathsome Frances I think

Yeah this is the tweetman, the former tyneside labour councillor who resigned over antisemitism, and has a reputation for making up things about herself like how many degrees she has to win arguments against the Hard Left.

Kavanaugh has such anger and narcissism issues he makes Fergusson look normal. His weird handle jebadoo2 is rather bathetic next to his insanely violent rhetoric. Also "I prefered AIDS" is another accidental funny of his
