Whats with the transphobia and the defense of transphobia on du today? [View all] La Lioness Priyanka Feb 2012 OP

I think we have a lot of "visitors." They're getting desperate. Don't worry, they'll be monmouth Feb 2012 #1

They all aren't "visitors" obamanut2012 Feb 2012 #3

One person is blocked from this group want to take a guess? William769 Feb 2012 #2

It's very sad and pathetic tammywammy Feb 2012 #4

I completely agree - very sad and pathetic. Initech Feb 2012 #62

I guess some people just have huge blind spots Warpy Feb 2012 #5

Let's keep the discussion civil... Fearless Feb 2012 #6

Off topic but important - DURHAM D Feb 2012 #24

i think both of you are right. Lesbians did get shunned when the gay rights movement began La Lioness Priyanka Feb 2012 #25

In terms of whether anyone actively excluded any particular group... Fearless Feb 2012 #26

So let us start here - DURHAM D Feb 2012 #27

An excellent point. "Don't assign them other motivations." yardwork Feb 2012 #29

+1 obamanut2012 Feb 2012 #30

There ya go. Vanje Feb 2012 #66

That I definitely agree with. Fearless Feb 2012 #81

To think of people solely based on their actions foregoes the human faculty of empathy. Fearless Feb 2012 #82

I took D's post to mean essentially what you are saying. yardwork Feb 2012 #83

Perhaps we are talking about opposite situations? Fearless Feb 2012 #85

I don't know. I can only say how I reacted to the suggestion. yardwork Feb 2012 #86

Backing you up on all those facts. yardwork Feb 2012 #28

I think some of it is just plain ignorance justiceischeap Feb 2012 #7

+1! Fearless Feb 2012 #8

Some people you just cannot engage with justiceischeap Feb 2012 #9

I think A LOT of us have dads like that... Fearless Feb 2012 #10

The poster in question will out and out tell you they will post whatever they want Jamastiene Feb 2012 #16

+10,000 La Lioness Priyanka Feb 2012 #17

Some of it seemed to be transphobic trollery...it's the defense of it that has me confused. Starry Messenger Feb 2012 #11

I think the defense boils down to what happened here a month ago justiceischeap Feb 2012 #12

I think so. Starry Messenger Feb 2012 #13

Can I see a link to the transphobic post(s)? nt ZombieHorde Feb 2012 #14

here was the original post. which was bad enough La Lioness Priyanka Feb 2012 #15

OK. There is some strong language in that post and some of the following posts. ZombieHorde Feb 2012 #18

even when our interests are not aligned, its not ok to make or defend bigoted comments La Lioness Priyanka Feb 2012 #19

I think Meta is full of how posters "interpreted" the posts obamanut2012 Feb 2012 #20

Which thread in Meta do you feel most accurately represents your feelings on this issue? ZombieHorde Feb 2012 #21

I think this should answer your questions justiceischeap Feb 2012 #22

This is only one thread obamanut2012 Feb 2012 #23

Absolutely no surprise at all to see one username. Occulus Feb 2012 #31

Well, first of all... TeeYiYi Feb 2012 #32

incidentally feldspar claimed that she and sarabellum were partners La Lioness Priyanka Feb 2012 #33

I can't imagine... TeeYiYi Feb 2012 #34

Sera Bellum is an active poster obamanut2012 Feb 2012 #36

that is really trans-phobic. La Lioness Priyanka Feb 2012 #38

Yeah, I read it and actually gasped aloud obamanut2012 Feb 2012 #40

I just asked the poster why they identify that way. yardwork Feb 2012 #42

I was going to obamanut2012 Feb 2012 #43

I'm sure that my post will be alerted on and screamed at. yardwork Feb 2012 #46

lol obamanut2012 Feb 2012 #47

Sera Bellum wasn't PRRed, she just posted in teh Feminists Group obamanut2012 Feb 2012 #35

sara bellum is still here? TeeYiYi Feb 2012 #37

Oh, and... TeeYiYi Feb 2012 #39

people who have bigoted against transgender people talk like that (and robots) La Lioness Priyanka Feb 2012 #41

Wow... TeeYiYi Feb 2012 #44

This message was self-deleted by its author yardwork Feb 2012 #45

I just checked... TeeYiYi Feb 2012 #48

She was reinstated hours after she was banned. There was a thread about it at the time. yardwork Feb 2012 #51

I have to agree... TeeYiYi Feb 2012 #55

gender is always assigned at birth. its how it gets on your birth certificate La Lioness Priyanka Feb 2012 #59

I understand what you're saying... TeeYiYi Feb 2012 #61

On DU2 sera bellum was TakesAVillage_People Morning Dew Feb 2012 #49

Is it possible that Sera Bellum, Feldspar, etc. justiceischeap Feb 2012 #50

I PPR that poster for that reason and a couple of others resons. William769 Feb 2012 #52

I think you are correct... TeeYiYi Feb 2012 #76

EarlG terminated the troll today. yardwork Feb 2012 #118

It's looking... TeeYiYi Feb 2012 #53

Just found this about FAAB justiceischeap Feb 2012 #54

But the poster says that she and her partner identify as lesbians. FAAB lesbians, she said. yardwork Feb 2012 #56

There are... TeeYiYi Feb 2012 #58

Ok, I've censored myself twice because I am really trying not to jump to any conclusions. yardwork Feb 2012 #64

My understanding... TeeYiYi Feb 2012 #68

Most of my straight male friends wish they were lesbians obamanut2012 Feb 2012 #73

I'm sure its because of the sensible shoes! Vanje Feb 2012 #75

Actually, I don't think they like the sensible shoes, Vanje. I think they deplore them! yardwork Feb 2012 #77

lol obamanut2012 Feb 2012 #79

Interesting... TeeYiYi Feb 2012 #57

IMO this is like some one who claims there is nothing wrong in having white pride La Lioness Priyanka Feb 2012 #60

This message was self-deleted by its author yardwork Feb 2012 #63

That is how this sounds to me. yardwork Feb 2012 #65

Not surprised the term was used wrong obamanut2012 Feb 2012 #72

My opinion? obamanut2012 Feb 2012 #70

I don't know if they are. Admin could check IP numbers but Morning Dew Feb 2012 #87

No problem! justiceischeap Feb 2012 #88

here's another one: foo_bar Feb 2012 #89

I don't think it's pro-masculine. The poster seems to be using FAAB in a different way than usual. yardwork Feb 2012 #90

I was going by "The feminine has absolutely nothing to do with feminism or Women�s Liberation ... foo_bar Feb 2012 #91

That's a logical interpretation. Another possibility is word salad. If you follow me. yardwork Feb 2012 #92

Yup... TeeYiYi Feb 2012 #93

It's a CC Feminist Parody obamanut2012 Feb 2012 #94

if that's the case, they seem to have researched the part foo_bar Feb 2012 #95

I think the history of it obamanut2012 Feb 2012 #97

Interesting -- thanks! obamanut2012 Feb 2012 #71

Sarabellum Vanje Feb 2012 #67

I'll do it for you. William769 Feb 2012 #69

I do! Vanje Feb 2012 #74

That's not very polite, is it. Not very polite at all. Things that make you go hmmmmmmm....... yardwork Feb 2012 #78

Are you saying that there should be no discussion of lesbian issues Remember Me Feb 2012 #96

I think that discussion of these issues belongs in both this group and the feminist group. yardwork Feb 2012 #99

Is is cold up there north of the border? nt DURHAM D Feb 2012 #100

??? The only border I'm north of Remember Me Feb 2012 #102

iverglas is also north of that border CreekDog Feb 2012 #104

Yeah, but it's not the ONLY border she's north of. Remember Me Feb 2012 #106

ROFLMAO! William769 Feb 2012 #109

Ahem...don't bring me into this skirmish. n/t Ms. Toad Feb 2012 #114

So why are you ignoring my questions about your post? Remember Me Feb 2012 #119

This message was self-deleted by its author William769 Feb 2012 #121

Here you go Remember Me... TeeYiYi Feb 2012 #123

Let me introduce you Remember Me Feb 2012 #126

ewwww. n/t Ms. Toad Feb 2012 #120

Why would you jump to the conclusion that anybody thinks that you are an Iverglas sock puppet? yardwork Feb 2012 #112

I'm flattered that we seem to be the talk of the town. William769 Feb 2012 #101

Are you? Remember Me Feb 2012 #103

Some people need to be educated... jumptheshadow Feb 2012 #80

It's been a good day on DU, on the whole. Lots of good discussion going on. yardwork Feb 2012 #84

Hosts the alert I sent has nothing to do with the OP. William769 Feb 2012 #98

The troll has finally been tossed from DU. yardwork Feb 2012 #113
