Stereotype, what stereotype ?
That settles it, right?
Of course it does, Darleen.

Now now, your own insecurity about people studying gender doesn’t make it impractical or useless.

Also this.

I can’t tell if Dianna is a man or not (I’d say so because of its tweets, but I can’t tell by looking). Those hormone treatments must be getting more sophisticated.

An expert on all things erotic.
Yes, but apparently triggered by a child’s bib and pool floats that bear a passing resemblance to giant feminine hygiene products, but not so much fecal contamination at Starbucks.

Fecal matter is literally everywhere. If we’re gonna freak out about the ice, we should also freak out about the cups and the straws.

I would tell her to look up John Snow and the Broad Street pump, but I am sure as a master of gender studies, she know more than mere epidemiologists.

Heh. It’s the stuff of nightmares.

What?

The rigor of Oxford’s Gender Studies
Any takers on whether by Oxford University she really means the University of Mississippi at Oxford gender studies ?

…if we disagree and prefer to choose our own partners, then we’re “upholding violent norms.”
I suppose it would be best for everyone if the Ministry of Gender Recognition and Reconciliation (MiniRec?) assigned our partners…
Note to “woke” lefist social justice warriors: Nineteen Eighty-Four was intended as a dire warning, not as an instruction manual.

That’s strange–the blood usually gets off at the 2nd floor.

Perhaps every male who identifies as “liberal” should be compelled to date a trans person, whether pre-op, post-op, or even tran-curious (if there is such a classification).
And yes, they have to put out. They’re down with the cause, aren’t they?
This way, liberal men get to parade their virtue and we get to point and laugh at them. Win/win.

I actually have a Master’s in gender studies from Oxford University.
Know your place.

If we can find 50 of those giant panty liners we may still have a chance to spare the upholstery.
The mystery of where all that blood is coming from appears to have been solved.

Time for wine, I think.

What if upholding violent norms is what I find sexually arrousing? Are they not then obligated to engage in the behavior I desire? What would be a greater display of wokeness than tossing all their orthodoxy aside in order to broaden their horizons?
I mean, not Lander Lunar or whatever that amorphous non-bicycling mass is calling kerself. But surely somewhere in all the Gander Stammering courses out there there’s a chick I wouldn’t mind forcing to clean the kitchen floor before we have intercourse on it.
Doesn’t she owe it to me, and to herself, to experiment?

@Pogonip, and hideously O/T (sorry!)
Check out loratadine for hayfever. Works a treat for me, and it’s cheap.

Ask her whether she needs to check her privilege when talking to a trans-woman. I can’t say for sure what the response would be but there should be some mileage in it.
I’d do it myself but I seem to be blocked

Is that better or worse than a Master’s in astrology?

Is that better or worse than a Master’s in astrology?
Astrology: pseudoscience; centuries old and practiced world wide since ancient times; ardent believers are often made broke and/or miserable by practitioners; practice, however, can also provide hours of amusement at county fairs and a semi-honest living for practitioners; practitioners must have at least a rudimentary knowledge of celestial bodies and astronomy, a real science.
Gender Studies: pseudoscience; fairly new affectation exclusively of affluent western countries; ardent believers must by default be miserable and their affectations hinders gainful employment; practice provides amusement for normal people, although in the manner of geek shows of late, and practitioners rarely make honest livings but instead are wards of state run academies; knowledge of actual science is a disqualifier.
Advantage: astrology.

A John Thomas is an ornery beast, and does not take orders well. Appeals based on social justice concerns will almost certainly be futile.

And yes, they have to put out. They’re down with the cause, aren’t they?
I know several heterosexual women who dated other women in university and called themselves lesbians because they thought they had to to be considered good feminists.
Poe’s Law strikes again.
As I recall, at some point in Lefties: Angry Wimmin there is a lesbian recalling straight women announcing to her that she is required to sleep with them for the political benefits . . . with her reaction being something to the effect of Ah . . . No.

When responding to this creature it would be wise to keep in mind the old wisdom: ” Never try to teach a pig to sing, it wastes your time and annoys the pig”.

Slightly off topic, but still under the broad theme of leftist mentalism, why Cash in the Attic makes you a Nazi (h/t someone called Emma Pickens on twitter):

Well, as with Zinnia Jones in the previous thread, there’s a witless conceitedness. And hence the notion that people can be scolded into having the kind of sex approved of by dogmatic pinheads.
Being severely educated, Ms Anderson is happy, indeed eager, to patronise men, in ways that are wildly incoherent, and to imply that we as a class don’t know our own minds, even on matters of sexual appetite – presumably because, unlike her, few of us have degrees in gender studies. And she does this while invoking “toxic masculinity” in a glib, sweeping and condescending way. The kind of dismissal that, if aimed at women, would presumably leave her indignant. But insulting half the population and implying that they need fixing by their betters – people armed with degrees in gender studies – is, it seems, a perfectly righteous and uncontroversial thing to do, at least in her circles.
And when the inevitable blowback occurs, whether in the form of mockery or pithy logic, and while hastily blocking or ignoring anyone voicing a substantive rebuttal, and while ignoring transgender people who find her claims embarrassing and absurd, Ms Anderson somehow manages to construe each and every reply as a form of both personal and political validation.

That! 🙂
I wonder if it occurs to Ms Anderson and her fellow scolds that their vicarious online ‘activism’ may often be unhelpful to the people they claim to champion, and may actually lead people to assume that all transgender people, on whose behalf they claim to speak, must be equally absurd in their demands. Does it ever occur to our self-appointed chastising class that there may be quite a few transgender people, perhaps a majority, who find such demands a bizarre distortion of their own expectations and preferences?

Not quite on topic, but meanwhile, an allegedly professional news org has just threatened to dox someone as blackmail into an apology. Horrifying.

Quite. Not an italic cascade this time, fortunately.

As opposed to the horrors of literature interpretation.

There were, besides, great formless heaps of books on the floor and in crude bins; and it was in one of these heaps that I found the thing. I never learned its title, for the early pages were missing; but it fell open toward the end and gave me a glimpse of something which sent my senses reeling.
…
It was a key—a guide—to certain gateways and transitions of which mystics have dreamed and whispered since the race was young, and which lead to freedoms and discoveries beyond the three dimensions and realms of life and matter that we know. Not for centuries had any man recalled its vital substance or known where to find it, but this book was very old indeed.

Ah yes. One is reminded of all the furor over the annual sports issue of Bikini Illustrated.

Snort!
“I want a house. I’m saving for a house. When my loans are forgiven, I will have a house. Maybe. :(”
No inflated sense of entitlement there then.

I want a house. I’m saving for a house. When my loans are forgiven, I will have a house.
It is rather more like, “I work the fryer at McDonalds in New York City and until I am 60-70 I will be paying off the Lamborghini Aventador I use to commute three blocks, unless the government picks up the payments for me.”

Taking Some of the Heat: the Obligations of Defenders, wherein our brave Martyr For Teh Cause™ suffers the slings and arrows of “violent” tweets on behalf of the downtrodden “trans” community, and in the process, jumps the tracks.

Interestingly, I also got a handful of cisgender lesbians screaming at me as well, claiming that transgender women are not women. These ladies, known as Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminists, or TERFs, were engaged in the very same rhetoric as sexist men upholding their position of power and oppression of women. Their desire to hate and attack transgender women upholds the very patriarchal forces they claim to despise, leading them to attack a fellow queer woman simply for suggesting that cisgender, straight people need to think more deeply about gender and sexual attraction.

Let me see if I have this right, the oxymoronic cis-lesbian ladies are using their patriarchal powers to “attack” a man pretending to be a woman, because as patriarchal lesbians, they cruelly don’t want to have sex with a “woman” with a johnson.
Truly I have been made woke, like I was shot with a diamond bullet right through my forehead. My God, the genius of that. The genius, and all this time I have been thinking this gender studies stuff was pure codswallop.

“After 60 years of Gender Studies, I have come to the conclusion there are 2 genders. Everything else is sexual preference or mental illness.”
Fair enough. However, for those determined to declare themselves something else, what about “chimeras dire” as a catch-all term? Maybe “chi” could serve as a preferred pronoun?
Sorry, been on the Milton again…

Erm, not sure there is “public sector forgiveness” on U.K. student debt?
Miss Anderson is an American who, unfortunately, blighted Blighty while at Oxford, assuming she didn’t mean Oxford, Mississippi.
In the US there are, for instance, a variety of loan forgiveness programs, however, there is a bit of a puzzling detail as “qualifying employment” means employment with any federal, state, local, or tribal organization, but not partisan political organizations, which would seem to rule out any state, local, or tribal schools of any kind.
If not, why a teacher at a state school should get zer loan blown off, and not that of a teacher at a private school is also a mystery, except the latter are not required to join unions.
At any rate, the whole concept of student loans being forgiven just because the students made crappy degree choices still stinks on ice.
