THE TRANS VS. RADICAL FEMINIST TWITTER WAR IS MAKING ME SICK

Unless you're a f*ing loser, you probably haven't been following the ongoing "war" between a few transgender activists and some so-called radical feminists. They've done their best to suck me into their collective madness recently, but I'm not playing ball. Let me fill you in. First up we have TERFs, short for "trans-exclusionary radical feminists." Basically, they're full-on internet weirdos hell-bent on telling trans women that we're not "real" women. They want to stop us from using female bathrooms, going to sh*tty music festivals and, uh, accessing healthcare. I know, right? Throw a few obsessive trans folk into the mix, and a handful of privileged white feminists with nothing better to talk about and, well, you've got yourself the perfect pointless sh*tstorm.
You're all insane, and you're all behaving like a$$holes. I'm sick of you all. It's gone past the point where it matters who I agree with—though of course that's trans people and their right to get on with their lives without hassle—but this isn't about rational debate any more, it's about an over-educated and time-rich bunch of narcissists on both sides who are completely and utterly addicted to a never-ending mudslinging match about absolutely nothing. That's right. You are talking about nothing. Absolutely. Nothing. I can't even tell you how disgusted I am to have waded into this "debate" just to tell you that you are talking about nothing, because it means that I am also talking about nothing. I am talking about you talking about nothing.
