I think tumblr needed to see this since my dash is full of posts about this subject atm

[oarfishing]

Alright, I'm sick of seeing TERFisms on my dash, so here's a handy list of TERF dogwhistles and talking points to think about before you reblog a post.

I've seen a few of these before, but it doesn't hurt to make more. Especially when we're seeing a lot of radfem rhetoric popping up in LGBT spaces from people who might not know better.

the best defense against bioessentialism and terfism is education. so, here’s a place to start.

SCREENNAMES: these are terms that commonly appear in radfem usernames across the web

rad or radical

fem or femme

vulva, clit, uterus, womb, ovary, vagina, etc.

febfem

anything along the lines of "angry woman"

xx or chromosomes

wombyn, wimmin, womyn, etc.

LGB

feminist

BIOS: things that show up in radfem bios

♀ or ⚢

febfem

female separatist

female, human female, adult human female

xx

something along the lines of "the scary feminist you were warned about"; being an angry woman, being sick of being silenced, being an evil woman, being an angry lesbian

detrans (NOTE: detrans people are absolutely not always transphobic)

dysphoric female

males/men do not interact

LGB✂️

misandrist

feminist (NOTE: again, very few feminists are actually terfs, but this is commonly in terf bios alongside some of these other terms)

femcel

TERMS: terms that radfems use in their circles

TIM - trans-identified male, a way of saying transfems, trans women, and other trans people

TIF - trans-identified female, same as above but the other way around

DSD - disorder of sexual development, a way to avoid saying intersex and to categorize intersex people as "still male or female" (you might see "males with DSD" or "females with DSD" for example)

females or males instead of women and men

alternatively, women and males to dehumanize men

"peaking" or "peaked" - referring to becoming radicalized as a radfem or TERF

womyn, wombyn, wimmin, wo**n, and any other spelling that takes "man" out of the term woman

mentally ill men/women

sex-based oppression

gender critical

"TIRF" - trans-inclusive radical feminist (don't be fooled by the name, they're very much not)

TRA - trans rights activist, derogatory

sex-based rights

female separatism/"women's land"

WBW - womyn-born womyn

autistic girls/children

troon - (ridiculous) slur for trans people

moid - derogatory term for men

XYs - another term for men

AGP - acronym for autogynephilia, painting being trans as a sex thing

gyne/gyn - term for women

lost women/girls - trans people they perceive as women and girls who have been “transed”

gendies - a term for trans people and their supporters

RHETORIC: general ideological themes in radfem rhetoric

men are inherently more violent than women

women don't or rarely rape men

being nonbinary is a way to "stop being" your assigned sex while still acting as your birth sex

lesbians are not attracted to men/penises and can never have sex with men/penises (otherwise, you're bisexual)

men can and will never be lesbians

there is no such thing as a bi lesbian, only lesbians and bisexuals. labels are rigid and sex-based

all of the world's suffering is driven by men

women would be better off separate

an all-female society is utopia

sex is binary, and intersex people are "glitches" or "still male or female but DisorderedTM"

men should expect to be feared by women

female/female relationships are safer and more pure than straight or gay male relationships

men and women are more different than similar

intersex people should not be allowed in sports

intersex people and trans men are never in men's sports

terrible world events wouldn't have happened if women were in charge

men are stupid and aggressive

being a man is not a positive thing

men's problems are lesser than women's

penises are disgusting and vaginas and vulvas are beautiful

trans women are performing at being girls

trans men see themselves as above lesbians

attraction is sex-based

porn is rape

porn is inherently violent

watching porn makes you predisposed to inflicting abuse

BDSM is inherently violent and misogynistic

transitioning children (whether socially or medically) are being abused

"bitch" and "cunt" are exclusively slurs against women

only gay men can say faggot and only lesbian women can say dyke

men can only ever benefit from the patriarchy

celebrating men suffering

When you see a few or more of these together, RUN! It's a terf.

and for good measure, here’s another disclaimer: some of the things on this list are not necessarily “terf” things, for example the venus symbol. what makes them dogwhistles is the intent; dogwhistles are seemingly innocuous phrases or terms which are only understood by those in the know, usually with double meanings. this list is not an end-all be-all to what a terf is; it’s simply meant to make its readers think about what they are seeing and ask, “what message is this person trying to send when they say xyz?” are they using language that’s popular on radblr? what kind of people do you see agreeing with them? do they really just mean “women with mental illness”, or is there a second message being sent?

[purple--starrrs]

By the way it's like. Really fucked how society's thoughts on epilepsy is just "get over it." Seizures can cause permanent brain damage. Seizures can kill people. Seizures hurt like hell. Allow me to reiterate that seizures can kill people. And you're just gonna casually put flashing lights, a common trigger for seizures in your advertisement, in your animation meme, in your edit, on your billboards, without even thinking about putting a simple disclaimer? That's unbelievable. Your little anime edit could deadass cost a life and you're not gonna put a warning because it's "inconvenient" or "people like that shouldn't be on the internet" (ableist) (the problem exists outside the internet also). Or you'll give insufficient ones like putting it in the captions or only giving like one second before the flashing lights appear, meaning that the trigger's already in motion before anyone who needs the warning can read it and save themselves from literal physical danger.

We need to start commenting under other people's posts about how to properly warn for flashing lights and eyestrain. We need to be emailing and calling companies about their possibly triggering advertisements that could induce seizures. We need to stop tolerating ableism and start speaking up for the more vulnerable.

Also, stop putting epilepsy warnings. That's like saying "warning: schizophrenia" on a post including unreality or "warning: dyslexia" on a post with a typing quirk. First off, the disability mentioned isn't the only group of people that this could trigger. Second, it doesn't truly get the message across and instead makes it worse for those with the disability-- scrolling through the epilepsy tag on Tumblr should get you to view the content of other epileptic people, but no, you just get a bunch of flashing lights and eyestrain, even though you could instead tag for, oh I dunno, flashing lights and eyestrain.

Anyways this Disability Pride, and for every month that comes after, think about epileptic people and others who are triggered by flashing lights/eyestrain. Happy pride to those who experience seizures too frequently due to the unaccommodating and ableist societies we live in!

All of this is worth the read, so reblogging for visibility.

Just to try and help out and spread the word, there are two chrome extensions I've found that might be able to help.

Seizafe: This extension scans youtube videos and warns you if they contain things like flashing lights that could cause a seizure.

CogniShield: This extension (supposedly, it has like no reviews) dims the screen to a safe level if flashing lights are detected; it can also be used to limit volume. It might help.

If anybody else knows of any accessibility tools, please share them.

[nursewwound]

boner joke

[isuggesttakingestrogen]

None of the trans women I know have any “horrible things levied upon them” girl what the fuck are you doing

[noblackwomannocry]

let's not forget that this is just what men's rights activists say about men. "men's rights activists" want you to believe that every man will be accused of rape or some other horrible crime, false accusations are rampant, and that men are constantly having their lives ruined because bitch women are constantly falsely accusing them.

this woman is calling herself a "transfeminist" and wants you to believe that every trans woman will be accused of rape or some other horrible crime, false accusations are rampant, and that trans women are constantly having their lives ruined because bitch women are constantly falsely accusing them. they're even willing to discard that due to not wanting to have their abusers face the justice system due to its widely known abuses of trans women, transfem victims of transfem perpetrators often solely rely on this sort of community word-of-mouth for their own protection, because they see transfem victims as disposable.

🤔

[noblackwomannocry]

you see people like isuggestforcefem know that society protects rapists, coddles rapists, defends rapists, supports rapists at every turn, but still manage to post drivel like this begging you to sympathise with rapists and call it leftist and transfeminist. won't you please think of the rapist who raped those trans women? won't you please pity her? won't you forgive her?

so let me say it: rape is a reason to act. rape should mandate removal from communities lest rapists be a danger to those around them, given that they committed rape. rapists should lose their jobs. rapists should be removed from their sources of income. rapists, committing a violent sex crime with no possible justification other than their own entitlement to the sexual possession of another's body, are a danger to others.

if this comes across as extremist to you, consider that the defense of rapists is the global status quo, that leniency towards rapists is the global status quo, that not believing victims of rape is the global status quo, that believing rape "isn't that bad" is the global status quo, and that keeping rapists around because they're nice if you just keep them from raping and it's terrible to kick them out of the friend group or hobby or job just for a little rape is the global status quo. if you believe in those things, you are doing what a patriarchal society is already doing. you're just more sensitive because people like you are the ones on trial.

[maskysgirlfriendmoved-deactivat]

yall gotta be nicer about m/f  bc sometimes u guys like the blandest gay sutff ive ever seen in my life

[maskysgirlfriendmoved-deactivat]

gonna add onto this you all gotta stop acting like m/f is just cishet when bisexual people exist and straight trans people exist.

[maskysgirlfriendmoved-deactivat]

last add on alot of m/f ships of poc or white/poc ship are constantly downplayed for bland white m/m or f/f ships

[majorpepperidge]

#also sometimes u guys r just fuckig misogynist. abt the women in m/f ships. sorry

[this-is-trans-joy]

I saw a post that was like “now that gooseworx was banned from tumblr I never wanna hear about “transandrophobia” from you bitches ever again” and I completely agree that tumblr is hugely transmisogynistic towards its transfem userbase and it is genuinely abhorrant that trans women are being targeted like this but hey quick question because I know you’re referring to trans men and mascs here: why’d you call us bitches?

[t4timekeeper]

sometimes people will insist a character is butch/masc and then you look at the character and they’re just fat. or muscular. or black. or indigenous. or some combination of the above.

[iexplodedipshits]

Op isn't a trans woman

"This pride month, let's speak over a group consisting primarily of trans men and mascs"

[the-vampire-roaming-the-woods]

I don't like getting into discourse here, however...

I'm fucking tired of the hate-fueled revisionism on the trans Community. Yeah, obviously, the term that literally means trans-attracted trans person is exclusively about trans women, sure, yeah, don't mind that isn't what it has meant since it's beggining...

[mawofthemagnetar]

The problem with being low support needs is that people mentally autocorrect that to “no support needs” and then proceed to give you absolutely nothing and then get surprised when you implode after six months.

[totalmoralfag]

I spent years in TRF circles avoiding the word "transandrophobia" because everyone around me insisted that it was an evil word coined by a lesbophobic "TMRA" (or even continuing to spread blatant lies about it being coined by a neonazi terf) Just to find out the guy who coined it is a self identified transmasc dyke who has literally spent years clarifying his identity and his political stances over and over just to get people to take him and his experiences as a transmasc dyke seriously. we're never making it out of the crab bucket

PlayStation Bad

In just the past two months, Sony has:

Suggested the PS6 *may* cost more than $1000 at launch

Announced the end of all physical PS game releases

While simultaneously announcing the end of two of their console game stores — ensuring multiple games will die forever

Declared that they are wholly dedicated to (A) leveraging A.I. when making games and (B) creating live-service games above all other game types

Announced that if you bought any movies through their PlayStation Store, over 550 of them will soon be deleted from all users' libraries — with no restitution offered of any kind

Gamers, it is time — to paraphrase Robert Vann — to turn Sony's picture to the wall. Any one of these insults would be bad, and taken alone? Maybe it could be swallowed. But this is an ongoing campaign of disdain towards customers, with each declaration worse than the last.

PlayStation does not deserve your patronage any longer. The PS6 must fail. Leave them behind.

ETA: Regarding that first bullet? A Sony spokesperson was asked about reports indicating increasing cost means that the PS6 will logically cost $1000 or more. He simply shrugged it off by saying that Sony can't be expected to eat the rising cost of components. So that wasn't strictly a confirmation, in reality. It was more of a "yeah, that'd be fine if that's the case."

IMPORTANT PSA

I've been informed that Ethan (Percyfan94) is slandering my name by distributing cards of my sona at conventions. If you see this specific card with his art on the other side, keep in mind that it's not actually me.

It's one thing to draw artwork of my sona, but to distribute cards of them saying this bullshit definitely qualifies for some kind of harassment.

I don't usually go to conventions, and I don't distribute cards like this to others. What he's doing is trying to slander me after I called him out for grooming, stalking, and depicting beastiality in his works.

CALLOUT ON PERCYFAN94 / MRNORMALDRAWS / NORMALCARTOONIC

CALLOUT ON PERCYFAN94 / MRNORMALDRAWS / NORMALCARTOONIC TRIGGER WARNING: SEXUALLY EXPLICIT MATERIAL, GROOMING, DOXXING, DEATH THREATS, & TH

So if you see him attempt to distribute this in your area, just discard it somewhere. I don't know why he isn't moving on or at least attempting to improve his life. This is just getting petty now.
