Threats no problem
Also charming.

Except when they are. Some threats are just blowing off steam. Some threats are real and get carried out. They don’t come marked as one or the other.

Because raping “TERFs” to death is just what you do when you get worn down.
I don’t see too many “skull fuck Mike Pence” posts… What was this about having to deal with bigots?
They have to harass people to blow off steam because they were harassed? Makes perfect sense. A lot of steam out there apparently.
From what I’ve seen the so-called TERFs are almost always the ones getting attacked. They’re accepting of trans people and on their side for just about everything, but they don’t feel others should be allowed to impose a new definition of “women” on them, so they have to be fought tooth and nail until they submit.
I see Avery’s continued spouting her wisdom:
Yeah, not what I’m seeing.
Avery Edison has figured it all out:
Ha, I singled that one out for mockery on Facebook a few hours ago. What on earth is terrifying about knowing what the insides of both restrooms look like?
I know what the insides of both bathrooms look like too… It’s not that weird to use the women’s restroom if nothing else is free/clean (and vice versa).
No one’s terrified of trans people but I can’t look at a trans woman without suspicion anymore post TERF War on FTB… And I hate that this is the case because I’m on their side…
Avery, you dishonest twerp, there is no way to disagree with transgender ideology without being accused of:
Threats and assaults are all of a piece with your hyperbolic, histrionic, cultish little movement.
The remarkable thing for me is that the “blowing off steam” excuse is almost certainly going to be dismissed if it is used to excuse male violence against women, yet they go ahead and use it with no self awareness to excuse the violent imagery and harassment they use themselves. Interesting that in both cases, the excuse is being used in reference to violent imagery and harassment directed at… women.
What next, “It’s just locker-room talk”?
Let’s all beat up some lesbians…because somehow THEY are responsible for the violence of trans-phobic men. Or is it just because the men might fight back?
So Avery Edison linked approvingly to a Buzzfeed article that used the term TERF while noting it’s considered a slur by the recipients of it by linking to this article:

Which is interesting because it tends to undermine their claim that feminists are initiating the violence:
Yes, we know. I wrote quite a lot about it at the time – for instance here:
http://www.butterfliesandwheels.org/2017/behold-a-cauldron-of-violent-vitriol/
Ok, I think I’ve got the principles down right:
“Fuck off TERFs. I’ve got a bloody baseball bat just for you” = just blowing off steam
“I respect trans people’s right to live their lives as they please, but I’m not sure I agree with their definition of ‘women’ as it seems logically flawed and has troubling implications” = a violent bullying assault on trans people, who have high rates of suicide and YOU LIKE THAT DON’T YOU! YOU WANT US ALL TO KILL OURSELVES MERELY FOR EXISTING, YOU’RE TRYING TO MURDER ME RIGHT NOW!

And defended to the hilt by the incredibly nasty Siobhan (sp?) over at FTB.
Oh yes? I missed that. Ugh.
Sorry for the repeat, I didn’t see it at the time…
