Complications Multiply
Come, let us browse transgender Reddit, where all is not well, and the natives are restless. You may want to bring sandwiches and a flask of something:
It’s a special moment. An entirely new complication has been detected. A new source of umbrage. For some, it must be like striking oil:
A post was written by a nonbinary person talking about how cis women who want phallo (not even going to get into that) and other nonbinary people should be welcomed into a subreddit about creating a penis for transmasc individuals and trans men.
I know. Don’t worry, it will get more complicated.
Which – lest we lose track – is a gentleman who wishes to be perceived as a woman. Moderating a forum for women who wish to be perceived as men, and who wish to discuss getting a fake penis attached to their persons without some man sticking his oar in. Even if the man in question wishes to be perceived as a woman.
And so, inevitably,
Readers are invited to devise a diagram or flowchart, some way to track keep of things. Though the above could, I think, be summarised as, “Women should be allowed to have female-only spaces.” Even if those women want to be perceived as men. And yes, today’s word is irony.
Via.
Consider this an open thread. Share ye links and bicker.
in case the Reddit post in question gets deleted, again, here’s a screengrab.
Ladies who would rather not share intimate spaces with dysmorphic men may be entertained, after a fashion, by some of the comments from r/trans regulars. Among which,
I say again, today’s word is irony.
Er what?
They’re so close to getting it…
So trans men (women) don’t think trans women (men) are women? I’m confused…
That’s one scary rabbit hole.
If you think of it as a forum for women who are into an elaborate socially-sanctioned kind of self-harm, it may start to make a kind of sense. Though it doesn’t get any prettier.
Er what?
Never say never.
It’s almost comforting to discover that there are some things considered too outlandish and bewildering even on r/trans.
That’s one scary rabbit hole.
More like spelunking in a septic tank.
Irony can be pretty ironic.
Yubby dibby dibby dibby dibby dibby dibby dum
Sounds a bit like someone in search of an Italian meal…
Or not. Either way, ewwww.
Either way, ewwww.
Indeed, but there are more kinks in Reddit and on Earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in any normal person’s philosophy.
I laughed and I’m not sorry.
I’m afraid it is far too late for that…. I don’t understand anything you quoted above.
Might be for the best.
Trans season.
That word “gentleman” is doing a lot of work.
So basically men are acting out in stereotypical male fashion, and women are whining about it in stereotypically female fashion.
No amount of pronouns, butchery, chemicals, or facepaint and hairspray are gonna change your genes. That’s actual science, b*tches. It’s called reality.
Speaking of evil & crazy, some people need to be either dead or permanently incarcerated.
Speaking of evil & crazy
The last Republican mayor of Frisco left office in 1964.
Bonus: what Gavin Newsom has done to Frisco & California, he wants to bring to the nation.
And many of our neighbors would vote for him. (vomit)
I’m hoping there will be a pay-per-view.
“…pay-per-view”
Hmmmm…the inflatable on the left looks like Pinky from the Lucas & Arthurs trademark. Small world, it is.
antifa to shut down sturgis: hahahaha not going to happen. They won’t even try.
Trans fragility seems to be a real problem.
The bearded lady enters the chat.
Do US protestors lie down on or, better still, glue themselves to roads? The fun the bikers would undoubtedly have with them is off the scale.
P.s. Harrys Razors.
Big mistake.
Huge.
Unless he posted this, an intern needs to be fired.
Deez beeches be Sneetches…Stars on thars or some such. Hope this helps understand the complications.
Helps explain why Harry’s stopped sponsoring Ricochet.com a few years ago.
It would be interesting to know how she’s voted over the past few years.

Ask and ye shall receive…
It would be nice to be surprised for once.

Off Topic: Has anybody been watching the Apple+ Foundation series?
If so, in what ways is it true or false to the original stories?
In what ways is it good or bad? Smart or dumb? Thoughtful or sacrificing intelligence to cheap glitz?
I’ve seen a few snarky but cryptic comments in recent months, but know little.
Insanity: Mad dog screams at police, points gun, gets shot, dies.
The dead thug’s family says the police should have “deescalated” the situation.
How are the police supposed to “deescalate’ when a man comes out of nowhere, interferes with an arrest, screams and curses extensively, and then draws and points a gun at them?
Damn this ghetto attitude that black people should get a free pass to be violent scum. Just one of the insanities plaguing our society.
I’m taking bets on how long until someone says “he din do nuffin” and “he was gone be a rap star” and “he was turning his life around”. With his history of violence and his gang rape conviction, I don’t think he was going to go anywhere but an early grave.
Do you feel culturally enriched? Isn’t it wonderful that people are exactly the same everywhere, so that unlimited immigration causes no problems?
He’s fashionable, bold, and fun, just ask him.
It’s a standard trajectory of the generic progressive scold whose political worldview seemingly arrived wholesale, in a box, while at university, and who denounces pretty much anything as “racist,” and who boasts of unfollowing friends whose politics diverge from her own.
A self-styled Morally Superior Person who campaigns on social media for policies that embolden criminals while demoralising everyone else, and is then amazed to live in a demoralised world of emboldened criminals.
But championing those society-degrading policies conferred status upon her, and hey, that’s what matters.
All of that.
Again, it’s a standard trajectory, pretty much a defining attribute of the type, of the class. To ostentatiously champion policies that are likely to be degrading for a great many people, and quite possibly ruinous, while personally accruing in-group kudos, and while assuming that one will never have to deal with the predictable consequences.
See also the reprehensible hypocrite Simon Schama, whose own upscale and very exclusive neighbourhood will never see the fallout of what he so loudly advocates. And whose preening and vanity will only have a cost for others.
Oh, and this little shit-stain here.
A headline you (thankfully) don’t see every day.
Yet.

I prided myself on not unfollowing/unfriending people because of politics. But the last couple of years, since the scamdemic, I have blocked three or four. The idiocy is just too much to deal with at times. I am on a mission to encourage my friends to drop me. It’s all a matter of degree. In personal matters I have generally kept my politics to myself. Certain values, ones that at one time were generally universal, are another matter. Since the events of 2020, after having so much of other people’s politics, my friends’ politics and questionable values shoved at me and seeing the values I believe in, many traditional American/Western and in some cases even eastern and other family values mocked and shamed, all bets are off. I actively encourage those who don’t like what I now say openly to drop me.
The angry father needs to understand that the perverted Brony is just “being his authentic self”. /sarcasm
Pass.
The vector tends to work the other way; you must not be trying hard enough to annoy them to do it to you. (Which, I admit, I find difficult to fanthom.)
