In Irish, “December” is “Mí na Nollag” which is literally “The Month of Christmas” so I feel completely culturally justified in treating today like the beginning of one long holiday, honestly.
In scottish gaelic its ‘an Dubhlachd’ which effectively means the blackness and i feel like this is one of the fundamental differences between irish and scottish gaelic.
Effing literally “Drop the T” is a radfem/TERF popular tag.
TERFs are right in lockstep with the right wing as long as trans lives suffer.
A direct quote from the article:
“Attendees were also told to wrap their transphobic rhetoric in the language of feminism, claiming gender identity is a concept offensive to women.”
what this also means: if someone is putting transphobia in feminist language while also not having a basic understanding of other feminist principles, if the extent of their feminist organizing is that, they may well be a christian right plant.
conference speeches aren’t where new tactics are invented. if they’re recommending it at a conference, it’s because they’ve been doing it, and it’s been effective.
Also folks, if you look at your history books, you’ll see that dividing and conquering is a tactic used, SUCCESSFULLY for hundreds of years. And every time, it sets back progress. Don’t fall for this. Break the cycle.
If you truly are a part of the community you would never be trans exclusionary. Dont let them brainwash you. We are only safe united.
I don’t know what a TERF is, but from the context here it sounds like they don’t believe in trans rights, so I hope they all die in a fire.
TERF stands for Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminist, so no, they don’t believe in trans rights, and nor are they feminists.
