Yet another hate blog

[Nikolai_S]

I've been in a debate with this woman since Christmas Eve. (Lovely time for discrimination and trans hate, you know.) Mostly she rants against "T-Mod Girls" (FTMs), but she also earned a place on my list of human demons for posting a video of a latex mask fetishist and claiming him to be MTF under a rant of "autogynophiliacs" destroying women.

Some gems from her site:

""Transgender" has a certain cachet, a certain alterna-cool about it for those in middle school and high school years. Declaring one's trans status is like getting the ultimate super-cool tattoo or piercing body mod and provides girls with "special" status and treatment among their peers as well as school officials, employers, parents and other authorities."

"The trans tweener trenders bond and encourage online via YouTube groups and web forums which function much like pro-ana, pro-mia, and trans-abled communities, encouraging dysphoria and censoring questioning and dissent."

"[Transgender Trope #8. "People" commit violence against the insufficiently camouflaged transgender."

"most men trannify in middle age after marriage and male privileged career and children. They fashion their bodies into a woman-suit as the ultimate mid-life gift to themselves after a lifetime of autogynophillic sexual fetishism."

I get the feeling she's going to be the new Dirt. Just thought I'd let you all know. Taking all my restraint to speak to her in a civilised manner rather than furiously screaming at the computer screen.

An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.

Hate + Hate is just more hate.

Lolz, yet another 'normal' person in serious need of quality time with a medical mental professional. Is it just me or are we now entering an era of 'OMG they're everywhere!! Hates!! Do not want!!!' trans panic as visibility increases?

[Nikolai_S]

tekla - Truly, you're right, and I'd like to just turn that hate into acceptance rather than ranting at her. Unfortunately, my patience with discrimination is low, and when I'm being personally attacked hatred in return is a gut reaction. Wish I could stop that, life would be more pleasant if I could ignore these sorts of things.

Ohhh, I cannot express myself on Susans well enough without getting blocked or something. Crap.

So, I'm just going to say this: Anyone else pissed off that FTMs apparently don't exist and that we're all just misogynist females because society is sexist? Where I live, boys and girls are pretty much equal. Transgender people here get crap from other people, but nobody will say it to their faces.

Since when?

It takes a particularly sick person to target trans people - especially when they using phrases from oppression dynamic language like 'male privilege'.

You can always ignore her blog. It might take a supreme act of will power in the beginning, but you'll soon get into the habit of not going there, and then you're set.

I don't know why such blogs are so attractive to so many of us...maybe it's related to the way people slow down to look at a traffic accident. I say, leave them to their hate. You don't need the aggravation, my friend.

I love the way the concept of male privilege is used as an argument against both trans men and trans women. C'mon, people, get your story straight.

[Nikolai_S]

Male privilege is a completely normal concept to me, being raised by a supreme feminist, who thankfully eventually got over it and became very supportive. I think I'm so tempted to intervene because I was able to change one radical feminist and I think I can change more. And I can, I just need a surgical drill and brain surgeon lovely, long chat with them.

Yeah, Devyn, I was treated awesomely as a somewhat butch girl. People got me, adults thought I was totally kickass and smart and progressive, cashiers were very friendly. Now I say "excuse me" politely and am first ignored, then reluctantly allowed to pass with a "better move out of its way." Femme guys are not treated well outside of metropolitan areas.

And it swings and changes to suit their arguments, there's little logic to be found on these pages.
Premise A: trans men gain male privilege by 'disguising' themselves as men.
If A is true, then trans women must lose male privilege by 'disguising' themselves as men.
Apparently not though. It's a magic, one way street, the portal enforced by Guards of the Patriarchy who can ALWAYS tell who is REALLY a man and who is not. Oh wait, that means trans men wouldn't get through...

Anyway, in my experience these hate blogs are run by cis, middle-to-upper class, 19-23 year old, able-boddied white women who have done a semester of women's studies, read Germaine Greer, 'chosen' to be lesbians for the cause (even though they love penis) and then decide that they will be the FIRST to do something EDGY and HARD HITTING like deconstructing ->-bleeped-<- to EMPOWER WOMYNZ!
Just like several hundred other first year lame ass women's studies snotbags who are too lazy to find something new to do.
Just let them think they're cool. They'll need the self-esteem boost when they start getting Fs in class.

To be fair, there do tend to be people (normally young teenagers) who pretty much pretend to be trans just for the attention and to feel special (probably due to low self-esteem). They CONVINCE themselves they are and are really just annoying.  I knew one IRL, not fun at all.  Pretty much latched onto me like a leech and tried to hold me above others.  So just don't take what she says to heart.

What?  To ignore morons?  The only time it takes a supreme act of will to ignore a moron is if your a moron.

I would punch somebody like that. Boy or girl, I don't care. I'd do it. Just saying.

I would not be suprised if the new hate blog is writen by Dirt. The style of writing and cadence are very similar.

Yeah, man.  I tried to be patient with him for a long time and help him figure his feelings out, but it just wore on and on and on and I finally lost my patience and flipped out on him.  He still sometimes tries to pester me even though I haven't talked/seen him in half a year.  Creepy people like that, ungh.  They tend to get more attention and create a negative image for everyone else.

It all sounds the same because it's all just derivitive of the nonsense spouted by Janice Raymond and Co in the 1970's. The names change, the hate remains the same.

There's at least one on these forums right now.

Given how attention-seeking she is, I would not doubt that. Dirt seems to be one of those people who would do anything for attention, whether positive or negative.
