Joshua HollandOn another site, some chud demanded that someone "define a woman" and she replied, "it's a person who covers their drink when they see you in a bar."
Just the perfect response.
Kevin Severud@JoshuaHolland I’m gonna say no. That ain’t it. That quoted response is troubling as well. I get the intention but it’s not well thought out.
Ada@severud @JoshuaHolland The fact that you needed to jump to the defence of a nameless transphobe you saw someone talking about online is telling...

Sally Strange@SallyStrange @ada @JoshuaHolland I’m neither a TERF nor a SWERF, FWIW. But I do think it’s problematic to continue to let “others” (such as the unnamed respondent) define gender instead of each individual for themselves.
Ryan Randall@severud For whatever it's worth, the response works well not because it's an attempt to define gender, but because it succinctly exposes the misogyny & toxicity that underpins many (most) attempts to define gender.

Presumably your issue is actually with the chud who insisted on a definition on the first place.
@severud @Cassandra @ada @JoshuaHolland Just a misunderstanding? So then you should have said, "yes, this is it, good job showing that bigot what's what."
@severud @SallyStrange @JoshuaHolland Ok, so explain something to me. There are two people in this story. One is an active transphobe trying to strictly define gender in an exclusionary and bigoted way. The other is a person using a witty quip to call out the bigot by using the bigots words against them.
If your issue here is with people defining other people's gender, why did you decide the person to take issue with was the person pushing back against the bigot?

@ada because they use vivaldi.net.
Teal Amore@ada @JoshuaHolland @severud for real, he'd rather defend a possibly made up person's transphobia before he accepts that this transphobic talking point is transphobic and should just stop already. like that's peak pathetic behavior
edit: aww he liked my comment instead of just admitting he was wrong.
