"[W]e suffer a lot for not having catchy phrases. That we we really could do with some slogans. I know that people would say that our points are too complex for them to be distilled, but I think it's essential."

Good GC slogans? Go!
#SexNotGender is a key phrase and slogan for me, which cuts straight through the sophistry to the core issue of sex class as the material basis of patriarchal oppression.

Sex ≠ gender ≠ identity ≠ personality or preference.

If you can't sex, you can't see sexism.
#AllMalesAreMale cuts straight to sex in keeping with #SexNotGender, because most of this is not about "identity" claims or preferences.

Few care about a male's "gender identity" claims when he is colonizing female spaces, and it is entirely irrelevant.
@stellaomalley3 "Good men stay out so bad men stand out" @TTExulansic.



I prefer "good MALES stay out so bad MALES stand out," but that goes to my preference to avoid "man" and "woman" as less precise, in keeping with #SexNotGender
@stellaomalley3 In all matters of sport #FairPlayForWomen is strong, with all kudos @FairPlayForWomen, fairplayforwomen.com.
@stellaomalley3 I'm not going to make a big distinction here between hashtags and phrases and slogans, but any comparison to clearly sex animals is useful: roosters and hens, cows and bulls, etc.

"Castrating a steer doesn't make it a cow."

"Lipstick on a boar doesn't make it a sow."

Received some interesting feedback from a wise person when discussing this with them, about cognitive efficiency.

Kicking me out helped them avoid (a) thinking about anything or (b) discussing anything since (c) there were already male TRA's active in group.

🧵 A threadlet…
There was an excellent discussion of this @widerlenspod last week, gender-a-wider-lens.captivate.fm/episode/88-gen…, with @LeorSapir, wherein he distinguishes tolerance and apathy.

Tolerance often takes active work, but apathy less so, creating incentives to mask apathy as tolerance.
Belonging matters more to most people than belief, and conformity is simpler than community, so lazy tribalisms are an effective social strategy.



Making me into a villain both (a) saves time and (b) strengthens the "in-group" against me as outsider.

Got kicked out of another leftish group this week, after what looks a young male made an accusation of "transphobia," so presume a few of those involved will have heard of it and be looking here.

🧵 A thread…
Accusation of "transphobia" are always vague and intended as thought-terminating "kill shots."

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thought-t…

Those making them usually intend misdirection toward another goal. Look for what that might be.
After years of thoughtful engagement on this topic, I have come to the conclusion that hegemonic "trans" ideology is deeply sexist, homophobic, anti-feminist and sex-negative.

I can explain this position in great detail, but only to those who will listen, and are open to grow.

A #transwedge liberated. This is brilliant!

Well done, sisters. Image
Now *that* is what I call affirmation.
