DISCUSSIONWhy I chose my reddit name (self.GenderCritical)

uterusperiodTransphobic Tampon が 投稿

So, I chose this reddit username for this new account because of mtt and liberal intersectional feminists claiming any discussion about female sex organs is transphobic. Both groups are so far removed from reality it's quite sad. They are so deep in their own delusions that they reject basic human biology. When mtts and ftt read my username it will give them a much needed reality check. That female sex organs DO exist, and no amount of surgery, enabling, therapy, lies, or hormone pills will ever fix that.

Mine is self-explanatory: I am done with postmodernism (pomo). There is a right and a wrong, a true and a false, a difference between reality and fantasy. Pomo is a pernicious ideology that repaints oppressions such as FGM as a morally unquantifiable cultural practice. Pomo says that each person, each culture, has their own vision of morality and reality.

Now, this is obviously bullshit. But questioning pomo inevitably gets you called a racist, a bigot, a colonialist, etc. Pomo is an essentially Christian philosophy in that "only God can judge" and everyone else who dares to judge is probably an old ugly white feminist who needs to be put in her place.

My username is a call to action: ignore any argument that appeals to identity and moral relativism.

Mine is what I am, and that alone is enough to trigger jealous, racist, misogynist men (whether they call themselves women or not).

One of my most memorable "peak trans" moments came when I read a discussion by "transwomen" about their periods. Yeah. They were talking about how they were all pissy because their period is about to come. I mean, holy shit. That's some next level delusion. It's one thing to put on a dress and yammer on and on how you're a girl now, but it's a whole nother thing to pretend like you actually have a biological uterus hidden in those male genitalia somewhere. I sincerely hope that the trans enablers wake up one day and realize the degree to which they're promoting this kind of insanity.

(My username comes from the reaction that 90% of people will have to the content of my posts, haha. I made this account just to post here.)

[–]endofthelinerXX-Marks-My-Sex=Female 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (0子コメント)

B-b-b-but--the trans enablers will just tell you trans is so edgy and novel and fascinating, and they're so stunning and brave, and that people should be whatever "gender" they wish , and even if they don't have the appropriate parts they can still claim they're women! Their delusions and fetishes count!

Mine is a lesbian character from some of Rita Mae Brown's books. I was given it in a "guess who I am" game at a lesbian party, and I liked the way the name sounded. This party was the evening before I signed up for reddit, and I had not yet read the book.

Unlike me, she is white and wealthy, but like me, she is fierce and loving.

I had wanted something far more crude, but the cooler minds of reddit's algorithmic process steered me to a less offensive way to refer to the vagina.

[–]NoLadyBrainBiology is not a radfem conspiracy 17 ポイント18 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I think my username is pretty much self-explanatory. Ladybrain is a pet peeve of mine because it has been used to insult me and undermine my education and career throughout my entire life (and countless other women and girls). I'm a science-y math-y person. I love logic and video games and I have little patience for emotional stuff. Because of that, I've always been told that I was either not really female, or that I was faking it to get guys to like me. Both are infuriating and of course patently false.

The progressives, especially feminists, used to argue against the regressive notion of ladybrain. And I had assumed that they still felt that way -- I mean, how could anyone call themselves progressive and argue for brain sex? Yet all of a sudden I was seeing self-proclaimed feminists arguing for the existence of ladybrain in order to please clearly mentally ill men. I was already having major issues with trans theory and liberal feminism, but that was it. I was out. There's no goddamn ladybrain and fuck if I'll support a movement that spouts such regressive, repressive bullshit.

[–]terfs-upBetter terf than serf 14 ポイント15 ポイント  (1子コメント)

"Terfs up!" sounds like call to action. Someone else said it (I can't recall whom), but if "terf" is applied as liberally as it is to anyone who has a voice and uses it to be critical, it will eventually become a badge of honor amongst people who value critical thinking and standing up for things you believe in.

It also sounds like "surf's up", and I'm into that.

[–]GCEagleBird TERF 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yeah, I like yours because whenever I read it I "hear" it in my mind said like "surf's up" by a stereotypical 90's surfer with the cheesey surfer music playing. :P

It makes the word hurt less. I like the other TERF puns used as usernames for that reason too.

Mine is from my peak trans - I don't indulge my brother's trans fantasies so apparently that makes me a big ol' meanie sister.

My username is self-explanatory.

[–]Grapefruit-Lemon 14 ポイント15 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I choose this username because on Tumblr I came across some photos of a woman holding various fruit (such as citrus fruit) in front of her vulva. Then a bunch of commenters were screaming about how transphobic and exclusionary it was.

Clearly she should have included a banana in her photos /s

[–]girl_undonecritical of liberals and the left, so must be right-wing 13 ポイント14 ポイント  (0子コメント)

A month or two before I hit peak trans, when I was still a good girl, I was chatting with some of my MtT friends and trying (for the millionth time) to understand gender identity. You all probably know how evasive genderists are about what it means to identify as a woman, so it's exciting when you're finally good enough to get an actual discussion. I said I couldn't relate, I never felt like I had an inherently gendered inner self at all. They said I was agender. I wasn't a woman at all. Of course, then, almost none of the women I ever knew were women either. What were we? What about our shared experiences? How do you make a politics out of that?

I thought about how weird it was, that I was treated like girls and women are treated my whole life, and I always will be because no one is going to confuse someone with my body for a possible male, but I wasn't a woman. Meanwhile my MtT friends, most of who hadn't even started trying to "look" like women or any other such transformative thing, were women. They're oppressed as women and I wasn't.

I walked the dogs with my partner and tried to talk it out, make sense of it. My brain couldn't stop spinning, obviously.

I really wanted to make it work, but it would require re-writing my entire life.

[–]Eclectic58Resistance is NOT futile 11 ポイント12 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Mine is not specific to gender critical feminism, but is a more generic one that reflects that I glean knowledge from a variety of sources and that I don't fit neatly into any one box.

[–]thesexyslouchhe is constantly having misterics 10 ポイント11 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Years ago, if I was at my boyfriend's house I used to sleep with my makeup on, then wake up early, sneak to the bathroom, wash it off, apply it again, and "wake up" next to him with immaculate makeup. lol(sob). My username basically refers to the on-going process of decolonizing my mind from as much Cosmo-style femininity as possible.

My flair is a quote from Mary Daly:

"A Bitchy, Bewitching woman—a Soothsayer—is compelled to Notice and Denounce the universal lack of sense masked by the mysterious men. Such Formal Denouncements by Furies could be grouped under several nonclassifications, such as "The Failure of Man"; "Flop-ocracy: A History of Man's Disasters"; "The Mysterical Man: A Critical Study in Male Psychology"; "The Eternal Mystery/Mistery/Misery of Man."

Many women, having frequently peeked behind the male veils and Gossiped out the facts, are able to Hear such Denouncements. Sensing and dreading the imminent possibility of such exposure, man cloaks himself in ever murkier mysteries. He is constantly having mysteries/ misterics."

I'm a second wave feminist. From where I sit, turning the clock back would be wise in many ways. The passage of time does not = betterment (it can of course include it, but does not equate with it, as we are susceptible to imagining). History is big in my life. I think the past carries wisdoms we would do well to try to (selectively) revive.

I read just one Mary Daly book back then and it hugely changed my life.

3 because someone else got there first and it's a nice number?

[–]vulvapeopleI am Terficus 10 ポイント11 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Tumblr climbed so far up its own asshole in calling women "people with vaginas" that some transgenderists actually started calling us "vaginapeople". I wanted that URL for myself, but it was taken, so I settled on vulvapeople. My URL has since changed, but I still post here under that handle.

[–]heartwitch 9 ポイント10 ポイント  (0子コメント)

From my mostly-neglected blog:

When I was a 14-year-old writer of story fragments, a character occurred to me. Her name was the Heartwitch — I don’t know why — and she was very old and very remote. My main character felt a calling to her, a kind of compulsion to travel to reach her. The thing that you learn when you meet the Heartwitch is that you cannot lie to her. To meet the Heartwitch is to be confronted with your own truths.

When I decided to make a radical feminist blog, it was truth that I was after. Hence, Heartwitch.

Also, it amuses me to join the many, many radfems with the word “witch” in their pseudonyms. I am not a witch. But I have nothing but sympathy for women who found their role models in the witches of history and folklore.

Because reading all of this is very taxing, and lavender and amethyst are things that I enjoy and find calming, and I wanted to see a bit of that here too.

[–]raulbikscubefloating ghost woman 8 ポイント9 ポイント  (2子コメント)

i just chose this username because i was watching MST3K at the moment I created the account, lol.

sometimes i think about making a new account with a more thoughtful username related to feminism or being a lesbian but i've invested so much time in this one it seems like a waste.

[–]heidischallengedum spiro spero 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Heidi is a nickname I used to be called for a few years. It feels like my name enough. I'm challenged by the transgender issue and that was on my mind when I created the user. I'm also challenged when creating user names and passwords.

[–]thelandisoursVulverine 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I was listening to one of my favourite songs by The Smiths while making the Reddit account, and ended up picking a line from that one. I do like how it references claiming what's yours - after all, that's what we need to do: to claim our words, our bodies, our experiences, our right to speak our mind.

[–]newgcf 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I'm terrible at names. I believe I'm creative in many ways, but I almost always resort to name generators or asking other people to come up with names for things/characters. It stands for 'new gender-critical female', which I was at the time I came up with it. I often think of creating a new user name, but then I'd have to name myself again, and face that problem again. I tend to prefer generic names anyway for the simplicity and the 'faceless' association I have with self-identity. I'd rather be anonymous than draw a lot of attention, basically. The Borg is one of my favorite concepts from Star Trek.

[–]dotinalinemore demi 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

My name comes from being one of many in a pattern. I was a dysphoric young girl who thought I couldn't possibly actually be girl because I was such a poor fit for the prescribed gender role.

Connect the dots, see the pattern: gender is bullshit.

[–]GCEagleBird TERF 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I'm less radical on some issues talked about on the sub and I already got used to calling myself an egalitarian since it's less threatening to somewhere people. So I'm kind of a gender critical egalitarian figuring out all my views and warming back up to feminism.

I also like birds and animals in general so I switched "egalitarian" to "eagal" (the beginnings are spelled differently, I know) and made "GCeagle."

Eagles aren't actually my favorite animals, but they're still pretty cool so it still works. They don't take any shit either and will protect their turf. Lol.
