There is no unified TERF movement that is definitively boycotting all these companies, is there? Bug spray is pretty smug, no?
Awful person.
Off topic: on another discussion the correspondent claims up to 6% of infants are intersex. This seems really, really high?

Brian, that is several orders of magnitude too high. The number is closer to 0.01%.

That is what I thought. He also said the number could be higher because it is brave to acknowledge being intersex. I don’t get it…and there is too much captured pseudoscience out there
Nullius in Verba
I remember when Jordan Peterson mused that Hitler’s attitude toward Jews was one of disgust, evidenced by the whole showers-filled-with-insecticide thing. Some called this a dog whistle and an attempt to minimize Hitler’s atrocities. (Because the psychology of hatred and evil must never be described, I guess. It can only ever be “hate” with no further detail.) Of course, what Peterson was actually doing was pointing out a phenomenon that can easily lead to or become evil.
It started with “punch a Nazi”. And now here we are, with Genderist nutters wearing shirts openly threatening lethal violence, writing about the moral praiseworthiness of murdering heretics, and directly likening non-believers to vermin.

Great. Just dandy.
