“The Minbari say the only way to understand the battle is to understand the language. War is as much concept as execution.”



A #2023Thread on language. 🧵
“Queer theory” is shallow and facile, coming entirely out of language and literature departments, half-clever pseudo-intellectuals in love with their own vagueries and pretensions.

Some are philosophical idealists, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idealism, but most are playing silly wordgames.
Their reliance on cant (such as “cis”) and thought-stopping cliches (“trans women are women”) clearly shows this.

Seahorses are horses!
Hallucinations are nations!
Etcetera. 🤡

It retreats from material reality into cosplay fantasy and puns.

DO NOT USE THEIR LANGUAGE !
Whenever possible, avoid the terms “man” and “woman,” deferring to the biological “male” and “female,” with rigor and consistency.

🚫 "Trans woman"
✅ Trans-identified male

🚫 "Trans man"
✅ Trans-identifed female

🚫 "Trans kid"
✅ Gender-anxious youth
✅ Gender-nonconforming
If one must or chooses to use terms such as "man" and "woman," "boy" or "girl," avoid most qualifiers.

🚫 "Cis" woman
😐 "Biological woman"
✅ Woman

🙂 Gay man
🙂 Lesbian woman
🙂 Young lesbian
🙂 LGB youth

Adjectives can distract from the core reality of solid nouns.
Especially avoid sexist phrases such as "real man," which have been used to bully gender nonconforming people, or "normal person" which risk dehumanizing sub-classes of people.

All men are really men, and people are marvelously diverse. Image
When quoting their language exactly, use quotation marks and be precise.

“Trans woman"
“Gender identity"

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scare_quo…

“Scare quotes" indicate non-standard usage, making it clear that these are religious or political terms.

Be impeccable with this, as best you can.
Call out religious and ideological terms with language that emphasizes that, and label things precisely.

• Genderism
• Transgenderism
• Transexual
• Transvestite
• Claims of "trans" identity
• Female toilets
• Single-sex spaces

Avoid umbrella terms and imprecisions. Image
Genderist language is vague by design, to create ambiguity and "playful" confusion, but public-policy language should be precise.

Intelligence is the ability to make finer distinctions, and focus on the most relevant factors.

Solid legal and policy terms are clear and exact.
🚫"Gender affirmation"
✅Elective cosmetic surgeries

🚫"Puberty blockers"
✅Endocrine disruptors
✅GnRH analogues
✅Puberty retardants
✅Off-label cancer drugs

Refuse to indulge their marketing terms for opportunistic and elective, cosmetic-surgery profits.
Some are making a “request” for “preferred pronouns.”

No.

🟥🔴

Crybullies feel entitled to total deference and will whine about you not "being kind."

Say no.

🟥🔴

No is a complete sentence.

🟥🔴

Be brave instead.

🚫Pronouns
🚫"Cis"
🚫"Trans kids"

Avoid euphemisms such as "top surgery" for "elective double mastectomy" or "penile inversion" or "castration." Do not refer to #fauxginas as "neo" anything.

🚫Labioplasty

To properly identify and label sex is not to "misgender."

Don't play.
‘When I use a word,’ Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, ‘it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.’

‘The question is whether you can make words mean so many different things.’

‘The question is which is to be master — that’s all.' Image
All of the above has been previously articulated by women such as @MeghanEMurphy, @Docstockk, @HJoyceGender, @KnownHeretic and @KDansky.

Various “queer” genderists are playing word games, and their language is poison.

fairplayforwomen.com/pronouns/

Refuse.
Resist.
Do not comply.
They are playing word games, but this is not a game.

Don’t play.

By clearly understanding the terrain we can win this war.

HUGE congrats @RevFemStBeat and the other women of #GetMenOut New Jersey for their protest against male felons in female prisons, and solid coverage in the New York Post, nypost.com/2023/04/14/pro…!

This is the best I've seen yet in the United States.

Brilliantly done!
@RevFemStBeat The UN "Mandela Rules" or "Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners" state that male and female prisoners should never be housed together.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_…

To do so is a human-rights violation, under Rule 11, "separation of categories." Image
In times of war it is also against the Geneva Convention to place male and female prisoners together.



Housing male prisoners in female prisons is an OBVIOUS human-rights violation, for obvious reasons.

No male felon should EVER be in a female prison.

I've been meaning to create a #2023Thread on some basic biological terms for a while now, and apparently today is the day…

🧵
Biology is the study and science of life, and reproduction is a basic category of all living things.

Ignoring viruses for today, reproduction can be classified as sexual or asexual.



Single-celled organisms such as bacteria reproduce asexually.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asexual_r…
Eukaryotic organisms mostly reproduce sexually, alternating between two generations: haploid gamete and diploid zygote.



Sexual reproduction may not technically involve "sex" as most people understand the term, but always involves gametes. https://t.co/FwvmRlUT2Ven.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_re…

"On Transgender Day of Visibility, we want you to know that we see you just as you are," indeed!

See things as they are, this #TransDayOfVisibility, including predatory males and brave trans-identified people who choose not to be part of the "affirmation-only" #gendergrift.

🧵
Corinna Cohn @HeteroDorx is one trans-identified male who deserves greater visibility on #TransDayOfVisibility2023.



They are among the most reasonable voices I know on Twitter, consistently rational and kind.
Buck Angel @BuckAngel is brave here on Twitter, and also on their YouTube where they address real issues such as inappropriate targeting of youth for lifelong medical treatment and longterm effects of T such as vaginal atrophy, .

It is important to distinguish zero-cost "liberty rights" (such as free speech) from zero-sum "claim rights" (such as private property or participation in a restricted sport category).

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claim_rig…

Male bodies should not colonize female-only spaces.
As a general rule, men pretend to be women for access to private spaces, while women have pretended to be men for access to public spaces and opportunity.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentheus

This is an important distinction.
If one accepts public spaces are the divine right of men, as is the case in Afghanistan or many other parts of the world, Bragg is right. Male entitlement is under direct attack, and compromised.

But why were female-only spaces created?
What public policy do they serve?

Still?

I cannot recommend Affirmation Generation strongly enough, especially for those new to these issues. It is engaging with up-to-the-minute data, both viewable AND downloadable via vimeo.com/800032857. Image
I particularly loved this graphic which shows the lock-step #gendergrift factory model. Image
My lightly-adapted, emoji version, with slightly more emphasis on the dangers of "social transition," which study shows is more of a launch pad than short respite. Image
