So proud of themselves
Smart move – admitting guilt in writing in public.
6 of us released about 6,000 crickets into hate group LGB Alliance’s annual conference. The result of the conference, if it had gone ahead as planned, would have been an acceleration of transphobic hate and misinformation, which drives much of the attack on our healthcare and our dignity.
We are so proud of ourselves for ending their spewing of violent hate…
Couple of things.
One, why release 6 thousand crickets? To disrupt the conference, yes, but why that way? It’s such a bad look, in so many ways. Squalid, stupid, cruel, messy, farcical, random…
I don’t know, maybe that makes it a good fit. Trans itself is random. It’s not like other uprisings of subordinated people. Knowing what sex people are isn’t a form of subordination, and neither is refusing to pretend people are the sex they’re not. Recognition of reality isn’t a form of oppression or injustice. The demands of trans ideology are random so maybe the methods of enforcement might as well be random too.
The second thing is just the usual obvious “No, wrong, no, that’s not what it is.” It’s not “transphobic hate and misinformation” to say that men are not women; there is no attack on their healthcare or their dignity (they attack their own dignity); there is no “spewing of violent hate.” Formulaic babble is formulaic babble, and persuades only the terminally credulous.
Another thing, the conference was only inconvenienced, not ended. It continued as planned.
“The result of the conference, if it had gone ahead as planned, would have been an acceleration of transphobic hate and misinformation”
Prove this please. I don’t like you and don’t particularly like you causing a bunch of crickets to be killed for no good reason, but I dislike you about the same as I have done for years. There’s been no acceleration. In fact I’ve become quite irritated by the number of rightoid “gender critical” shit stirrers and the at least nominally left of center people who’ve given them a pass. A conference isn’t going to change that reality for anyone.
You lie, you lie to my face, and you ask me to lie on your behalf and that is your great villainy, no acceleration needed.
(and just to cover my bases, the “you” here is the dumb fucks releasing crickets)
Not to mention childish. It’s exactly the sort of thing you would expect from a pre-teen boy.
I guess one of them figured out that crickets would be more disruptive than whoopy cushions.
That makes sense. If they’re on blockers, they’re going to be pre-teen boys forever.
God, that’s narcissistic. Real fighters for social justice don’t talk about how ‘proud’ they are of what they’ve done–they argue that it was necessary and right, but leave the bit about being proud to others. Self-awarded participation trophy….
